The Angular CLI is one of the most powerful tools in the web ecosystem, transforming complex workspace setup into a single command.
1The Power of 'ng'
The Angular CLI (ng) is more than just a project generator. It is a full lifecycle tool. You use it to generate components, run unit tests, perform end-to-end testing, and build your application for production. By following the CLI's standard project structure, you ensure that any other Angular developer can jump into your project and understand exactly where everything is.
2Project Anatomy
When you run ng new, Angular sets up a sophisticated environment. The angular.json file is the brain of the workspace, defining how the app is built and served. The src/app folder is the heart, containing the logic and views. This 'Convention over Configuration' approach means you spend less time setting up build tools and more time writing features.
