Angular Directory Structure

Best Practices:

1. Standalone Components:

   • Each component can be standalone, meaning they don’t need to be declared in a module.
   • This allows for better modularity and reusability.

2. Core Module:

   • Keep the core directory for singleton services, guards, interceptors, and models.
   • Core services and utilities that are used globally should be placed here.

3. Shared Module:

   • The shared directory is for components, directives, and pipes that are reused across multiple features.
   • Standalone components, directives, and pipes can be placed here without needing to declare them in a module.

4. Feature Modules:

   • Organize features into their own directories.
   • Feature-specific components, services, and routing modules should be placed within these directories.

5. Routing:

   • Define routing in feature-specific routing modules.
   • Lazy loading should be utilized to load feature modules on demand.

Summary:

• Standalone Components: Utilize standalone components for modularity and reusability.
• Core and Shared Directories: Maintain a clear separation of core and shared resources.
• Feature Modules: Organize features into their own modules with dedicated routing.
• Routing: Use lazy loading for better performance and manage routing in feature-specific modules.
