What is Angular?

Learn what Angular is, why it suits large structured apps, and install the Angular CLI to scaffold projects.

What is Angular?

Angular is a component-based framework for building single-page web applications, maintained by Google and written in TypeScript. Routing, forms, and an HTTP client ship built in.

When to use it

Angular suits large, structured apps — dashboards, enterprise tools, anything where a consistent architecture across a big team matters. Its opinionated structure keeps large codebases maintainable.

Installing the CLI

The Angular CLI scaffolds projects, generates code, and runs the dev server.

npm install -g @angular/cli
ng version
