Angular

Welcome to the Angular Course Repository! This repository includes resources, modules, and objectives for an in-depth Angular course. You'll progressively learn core Angular concepts, work on practical labs, and complete a comprehensive project that covers advanced features, optimization, and deployment.

1. Node.js

Node.js is required for running Angular projects and using npm (Node Package Manager) to install dependencies.

• Download and install Node.js from nodejs.org.

2. Angular CLI

Angular CLI is a command-line interface for Angular development.

• Install Angular CLI globally using the following command:

  npm install -g @angular/cli

Creating a New Angular Project with Angular CLI

Once Angular CLI is installed, follow these steps to create a new Angular project:

1. Create a new Angular project by running the following command in your terminal:

   ng new my-angular-app

2. Follow the prompts to set up your project (e.g., choose whether to include routing, select a CSS preprocessor).

3. Navigate into the project folder:

   cd my-angular-app

4. Run the application:

   ng serve

5. Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/ to view your app.

Standalone

standalone: true: The component can be used without a module. It can import its own dependencies..
