Setting up the seed project
The final requirement to get started would be an Angular seed project to shape the initial structure of our project. If you look at the public source code repositories, you can find several versions of these seeds. I prefer the official one for the following two reasons:
- Custom-made seeds usually come with a personal twist depending on the developers taste. Although sometimes it might be a great help, since we are going to build everything from scratch and learn the fundamental concepts, they are not favorable to our project.
- The official seeds are usually minimal. They are very slim and don't contain an overwhelming amount of 3rd party packages and environmental configurations.
Speaking about packages, you might be wondering what happened to the other JavaScript packages we needed for this application; we didn't install anything other than Node and NPM. The next section will answer this question.
