This project was generated with Angular CLI version 6.2.1.
Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Declarations is an array of components, directives etc that are defined in our app module. It registers/wires the components to the angular application module.
An angular app usually depends upon one or more modules. Imports is an array of modules that our application depends on. Eg: BrowserModule, FormsModule etc
Providers is an array of services that are a part of our app module. This is where we register services with the dependency injector of the app module.
Directives attach to an element and usually used to manipulate DOM. For instance, ngFor and ngIf are directives which we use very often.
Models are classes and interfaces that are used to define the structure of the data or objects we will be using in the app.
Modules are logical groupings of components, directives, providers etc into a package. Each angular app is a module also a module can be a dependency in another application.
Services are singletons that are managed by angular's dependency injection and hence can be injected and used in various components across the application. We usually write business logic in angular services so that our components are as lean as possible.
Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.
Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.
Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.
Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
