FAQ
How do I check if the Angular CLI is installed?
On Unix-based systems, run `which ng`. On Windows, use `where ng` or in PowerShell, `gcm ng`. If not installed, you can install it globally with `npm install -g @angular/cli`.
What are the minimum system requirements for using this skill?
You need Node.js, npm, and an active internet connection to create and manage Angular applications with this skill.
Can I customize the new Angular application when creating it?
Yes, you can specify the stylesheet format (`scss`, `css`, `less`), enable routing, server-side rendering, set a component selector prefix, and optionally skip tests. AI configuration options can also be specified to align with the developer environment.
How do I generate Angular components and other elements?
Use the Angular CLI commands via this skill, such as `npx ng generate component <component-name>`, `npx ng generate service <service-name>`, and similar commands for directives, pipes, guards, interceptors, resolvers, enums, interfaces, and classes.
Does this skill support modern styling frameworks like Tailwind CSS?
Yes, you can add Tailwind CSS by running `npx ng add tailwindcss` and then use Tailwind classes in your Angular application.
