Overview over Angular’s repositories
I’ve been working with Angular for around 6 years now. It’s a great framework that I enjoy working with. It’s also quite a broad framework that includes a lot of things. The ecosystem around it is pretty big as well.
A lot of times while working on a task, I go to Angular’s main repo and look at the source code to get a sense of how a particular feature works. I do that for Angular Material too. It’s quite exciting being able to do that. This gives one a feeling of mastery over one’s tools.
I wondered how many [official] Angular repos and packages are there?
In this post I’d like to create some kind of an overview over the many Angular repos and what they contain. The aim is to get an overview, of course, but also to see how far Angular stretches, and appreciate the work done by the Angular’s team and all of the amazing contributors.
