@angular/cli
Advanced tools
The @angular/cli package is a command-line interface tool that you can use to initialize, develop, scaffold, and maintain Angular applications directly from a command shell. It provides commands for creating new projects, generating application and library code, performing a variety of ongoing development tasks such as testing, bundling, and deployment.
Project Scaffolding
Creates a new Angular application with a default structure by running the 'ng new' command followed by the project name.
ng new my-angular-appGenerating Components, Services, and other features
Generates a new component and its associated files by using the 'ng generate' command followed by the feature type and name.
ng generate component my-componentBuilding and Serving the Application
Compiles the application and starts a web server, making the app accessible in a browser. The 'ng serve' command is used for this purpose.
ng serveRunning Unit Tests
Executes the unit tests defined in the application using the 'ng test' command.
ng testBuilding for Production
Compiles the application for production deployment, optimizing the build for performance and size using the 'ng build' command with the '--prod' flag.
ng build --prodSimilar to @angular/cli, create-react-app is a command-line interface for setting up new React applications. It abstracts away build configuration to a pre-configured setup, allowing developers to focus on writing code. Unlike @angular/cli, it is tailored specifically for React and does not provide an extensive set of generation commands.
Vue CLI is a full system for rapid Vue.js development, similar to @angular/cli for Angular. It provides project scaffolding, a development server, build tools, and a set of plugins for common tasks. Vue CLI is designed for Vue.js and offers a similar level of functionality for Vue developers.
Ember CLI is a command-line utility for creating, developing, and building Ember.js applications. It provides a standardized development structure and build pipeline, much like @angular/cli does for Angular. Ember CLI focuses on Ember.js and has a strong emphasis on convention over configuration.
