⚠️ You should know this before getting started with Angular?

Important files and folders of an Angular Project

📌 When you're a beginner in any tech stack then firstly you should focus on the basics of that technology.

Here I'm going to list down the working of some important files & folders of an Angular Project.

• node_modules folder - used only for development purposes, you should remove this folder while deploying the project.
• src folder - it’ll contain the main source code of the project.
• src/app folder - contains Component & Modules.

✅ Every Angular project should contain at least one Component or Module.

✅ If we want to create any Service or Module then we should do that inside src/app folder only.

• assets folder - it contains all the static assets of applications like - images, videos etc.
• environments folder - for setting up different environments for the application like - developer, tester etc.
• fabicon.ico - used for displaying website icon on the browser.
• index.html file - this is the main HTML file which will be displayed on the browser.
• main.ts file - this is Typescript file which is the main entry point of any Angular application.
• polyfills.ts file - it is used to import scripts which are important for running the angular application.

✅ It is used to fill the gap between the features of JavaScript and Typescript.

• style.css file - it is used to add global CSS in our Angular application.
• test.ts file - used for setting the test environment.
• editorconfig file - used for setting team environments.
• gitignore file - used for ignoring files & folders which we don’t want to upload.
• angular.json file - contains all the configuration of the Angular application.

✅ Before angular 6 there was no angular.json file but there was angularcli.json file.

• karma.config.js file - for running tests.
• package.json file - standard configuration file which contains dependencies.
• tsconfig.json file - for setting the Typescript compiler.

These are the important files and folders which you should know well before starting with an Angular project.
