ng new

Creates a new workspace and an initial Angular app.

ng new <name> [options]
ng n <name> [options]

Description

Creates and initializes a new Angular app that is the default project for a new workspace.

Provides interactive prompts for optional configuration, such as adding routing support. All prompts can safely be allowed to default.

  • The new workspace folder is given the specified project name and contains configuration files at the top level.
  • By default, the files for a new initial app (with the same name as the workspace) are placed in the src/ subfolder. Corresponding end-to-end tests are placed in the e2e/ subfolder.
  • The new app's configuration appears in the projects section of the angular.json workspace configuration file, under its project name.
  • Subsequent apps that you generate in the workspace reside in the projects/ subfolder.

If you plan to have multiple apps in the workspace, you can create an empty workspace by setting the --createApplication option to false. You can then use ng generate an application to create an initial app. This allows a workspace name different from the initial app name and ensures that all apps reside in the /projects subfolder, matching the structure of the configuration file.
