Angular folder icon suggestions

[GoGoris]

Angular folder icons:

• pipes (idea: purple folder icon with 'pipe' in bottom right corner?)
• guards (angular router security, something like a folder icon with shield?)
• directives
• providers in ionic (= services icon)

Other folder icons:

• target (=dist icon)
• .sonarlint (sonar icon)
• .settings
• validators (folder with green checkmark in bottom right corner?)

Would definitely appreciate a folder for pipes, guards and directives at the very leat, there are folders for react, why not angular? 😃

Thank you, I'll consider your suggestions. Since the Angular Icons always have been activated by default for this theme, I was a little reluctant with the folder icons for Angular to not scare non-Angular users :) For example is the folder name "services" a very common folder name also in non-Angular projects. I think there're 2 solutions:

1. let Angular icons activated by default but create common folder icons only (like I did with "services", or "routes")
2. deactivate Angular icons by default and create more specific Angular folder icons for the Angular icon pack

Point 2 will definitely cause some irritation and people will wonder why some Angular icons have disappeared after such an update. The reason that the Angular icon pack is activated by default can be traced back to the development of this extension. In the beginning there were less icons without folder icons and this problem did not exist yet.

I would think that 1. is the better choice
I think as a whole general icons are always the way to go with folders, while with file icons, its easier to get more specific about it

You're right, I would prefer the 1st solution. I will try to create some general icons also for Angular specific projects in the near future.

So far I can provide you the following icons:

When I last thought about it, I thought that the best icon for a directives folder would maybe be a puzzle piece, since they're small features that can be attached on elements, and you can put as many as you want on one element

I would love seeing a icon for directives folder too.
