How to run an Angular project in Visual Studio Code?

I’m trying to run my Angular project in Visual Studio Code but am unsure about the steps involved. I’d like to know how to set up the environment, install dependencies, and start the development server directly from VS Code. What’s the process for running an Angular project smoothly in Visual Studio Code?

Answer 1

There are some prerequisites to run an Angular project in VS Code and after that we will see the steps how to run an Angular project in VS Code.

Prerequisites:

⦁ Node.js and npm: Node.js must be installed on your machine as Angular requires it. You can download it from ⦁ nodejs.org.

⦁ Angular CLI: Install Angular CLI globally using npm. Open your terminal or command prompt and run:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Steps to Create an Angular Project:

⦁ Open your Visual Studio Code editor.

⦁ In the terminal of Visual Studio Code, run the command to create a new Angular project:

ng new my-angular-app

(You can replace “my-angular-app” with any other name you want to give to your website)

3. Now you have to navigate to the project folder: You should change your working directory to newly created project folder:

cd my-angular-app

4. Run the application: Use the following command to start the development server and open your app in a default web browser:

ng serve

This will compile your Angular application and serve it locally. You should see output indicating that the development server is running.

5. Now you can open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. Here, you should see your Angular app’s default welcome page.
