Angular Series - 01 - Understanding Angular CLI & Project Structure

This project setup uses:
- Angular CLI
- A client-side Angular app
- No SSR (Server-Side Rendering)
- Tailwind CSS
- No AI integration for now
That means this is a clean frontend Angular setup where the browser loads the app, Angular boots it, and Tailwind is available for styling.
1. What Angular CLI Does
Angular CLI is the official command-line tool for Angular. It helps us create, run, build, test, and organize Angular projects without manually wiring every file ourselves.
In this project, Angular CLI has already created the base structure and configured the main app files for us.
Common CLI commands you will use while building your Task Manager:
npm install
npm start
npm run build
npm test
The start script runs:
ng serve
This starts the development server, usually on http://localhost:4200/.
2. Project Setup Flow
The following flowchart outlines the basic journey from setting up your environment to rendering the Todo app in the browser.
