Angular CLI
Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) is a command-line tool for initializing, developing, scaffolding, and maintaining Angular applications. It automates common development tasks such as project creation, code generation, testing, and building, providing a standardized workflow for Angular development. The tool integrates with the Angular ecosystem to streamline the development process and enforce best practices.
Developers should use Angular CLI when building Angular applications to boost productivity through automation and consistency. It is essential for quickly setting up new projects with a predefined structure, generating components, services, and modules, and managing builds and deployments efficiently. Use cases include rapid prototyping, maintaining large-scale Angular projects, and ensuring adherence to Angular's conventions and configurations.
