When you open an Angular project, it can feel like “too many files.” Let’s make it simple. ## Key folders (the ones you actually use) ### `src/` This is where your app lives. - `src/main.ts` boots your app - `src/app/` contains your components, routes, services - `src/styles.css` global styles - `src/index.html` single HTML page (Angular renders inside it) ## App folder highlights Typical structure: ``` src/app/ app.component.ts app.component.html app.routes.ts core/ shared/ features/ ``` ### Recommended organization (professional, scalable) - `core/`: single-instance services (auth, api client, guards) - `shared/`: reusable components/pipes (buttons, cards) - `features/`: pages/modules by feature (billing, profile, admin) ## Where do I write code first? Start with: - `src/app/app.component.ts` - `src/app/app.component.html` If your project uses standalone components, you will also see routing in: - `src/app/app.routes.ts` > Next: Build your first component the right way.
