Angular File Structure

The TailAdmin Angular Template is designed for modularity, scalability, and maintainability. By properly organizing your project, you can keep components, pages, services, and shared modules cleanly separated.

Root Directory

The root directory contains configuration files and the main source folder.

File / FolderDescription
src/Source Code: This is where all your development happens.
dist/Distribution: The compiled, production-ready version of your app (generated after build).
node_modules/Dependencies: Contains all installed NPM dependencies.
public/Public Assets: Static files such as images, icons, and assets.
angular.jsonAngular CLI Config: Workspace configuration for Angular CLI.
package.jsonProject Manifest: Manages dependencies and scripts.
tsconfig.jsonTypeScript Config: Base TypeScript configuration.
README.mdDocumentation: Project documentation and setup guide.

Source Directory (src)

Inside src/, you’ll find the core structure of your Angular application.

src/
app/# Main application code
pages/# Feature-specific pages
shared/# Shared utilities and components
components/# Reusable UI
layout/# Layout parts
pipe/# Custom pipes
services/# API services
app.component.ts# Root logic
app.component.html# Root template
app.routes.ts# Routing
app.config.ts# Config
index.html# Main HTML
main.ts# Bootstrap
styles.css# Global styles

Key Directories Explained

src/app/pages/

Contains route-level components. Each page (e.g., Dashboard, Profile, Settings) typically has its own directory here.

src/app/shared/

Designated for reusable code.

  • components/: Dumb components that take inputs and emit outputs.
  • services/: Shared logic for data fetching and state management.
  • layout/: Structural components like the Sidebar and Header.
