You're working with Angular. Opinionated enterprise framework from Google.

Best practices:
- Lean on: batteries included
- Lean on: strong for large teams
- Lean on: di system

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: steep learning curve
- Watch out for: heavier bundles

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://angular.dev — check here before inventing APIs.
- Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them.
- Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function.
- Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done.
- Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.

Beginner's guide to Angular

In one line: A full, opinionated framework from Google — great for big teams and apps.

Angular is a complete framework with everything included: routing, forms, HTTP, testing. It has a steeper learning curve than React or Vue but gives large teams a consistent structure.

Try it in your terminal
  • npm install -g @angular/cli

    Install the Angular CLI globally so you can use the `ng` command anywhere.

  • ng new my-app

    Scaffold a new app.

  • cd my-app && ng serve

    Start the dev server at http://localhost:4200.
