Understanding Angular Folder Structure

Angular projects have a specific folder structure to keep your code organized and maintainable. Here’s a look at the default setup and some ways to customize it.

Default Angular Project Structure

When you create a new Angular project using Angular CLI, it generates the following structure:

Default Folder Structure

project-name/
  e2e/
  node_modules/
  src/
    app/
      app-routing.module.ts
      app.component.html
      app.component.spec.ts
      app.component.ts
      app.module.ts
      environments/
        environment.prod.ts
        environment.ts
    assets/
    environments/
    index.html
    main.ts
    polyfills.ts
    styles.css
    test.ts
  tsconfig.app.json
  tsconfig.spec.json
  angular.json
  browserslist
  package.json

Key Folders and Files

  • src/: Contains the source code for your application.
  • app/: The main module of your application.
  • app.component.ts: The root component.
  • app.module.ts: The root module for components, directives, and services.
  • app-routing.module.ts: Routing configuration.
  • environments/: Environment-specific configurations.
  • assets/: Static files like images and fonts.
  • index.html: The main HTML file.
  • main.ts: The main entry point.
  • polyfills.ts: Polyfills for older browsers.
  • styles.css: Global styles.
  • e2e/: End-to-end test files.
  • node_modules/: Installed npm packages.
  • angular.json: Workspace configuration.
  • package.json: Project metadata and dependencies.
  • tsconfig.app.json: TypeScript configuration for the app.
  • tsconfig.spec.json: TypeScript configuration for tests.

Customizing the Folder Structure

As your application grows, you might want to customize the folder structure. Here are some approaches:

Feature-Based Structure

src/
  app/
    core/
    shared/
    features/
      feature1/
        feature1-routing.module.ts
        feature1.module.ts
      feature2/
        ...

Additional Structures

  • Shared Module: Place reusable components, directives, and pipes here.
  • Core Module: Store core services and configuration.
  • Services and Models: Separate folders for services and models for better organization.

Best Practices

  • Use clear and consistent naming conventions.
  • Consider using a linter for style consistency.
  • Utilize Angular CLI commands for generating components and services.
