Getting Started with Angular

Programming •

Angular is a powerful framework for building web applications. In this guide, we’ll walk through the basics of setting up your first Angular project.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have:

  • Node.js installed
  • npm (Node Package Manager)
  • Basic knowledge of TypeScript

Creating Your First Project

To create a new Angular project, run:

ng new my-first-app

This command will create a new directory with all the necessary files and dependencies.

Project Structure

Let’s look at the key files and directories in an Angular project:

  • src/app: Contains your application code
  • src/assets: For static files like images
  • src/environments: Configuration files

Components

Components are the building blocks of Angular applications. Here’s a simple component:

@Component({
  selector: 'app-hello',
  template: '<h1>Hello, {{name}}!</h1>'
})
export class HelloComponent {
  name = 'World';
}

Next Steps

Now that you have your first Angular project set up, you can:

  1. Create more components
  2. Add routing
  3. Implement services
  4. Style your application
