00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,830
In this lecture, we're going to create an angular application with the CLI tool.

2
00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:10,780
We previously saw a list of commands with the NG help command.

3
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:13,060
One of the commands is called New.

4
00:00:13,090 --> 00:00:16,660
This command will create a new application for us.

5
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:20,700
In the command line, add the new command.

6
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:28,230
But for running this command, it's considered good practice to check out the available options for

7
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:29,310
a new command.

8
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:34,680
In addition, we should verify we're not missing important details about this command.

9
00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:37,550
Otherwise, we may break our application.

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,990
We can view information about a specific command by adding the help option.

11
00:00:45,140 --> 00:00:48,710
The help option can be applied to sub commands too.

12
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:52,880
It's important to add the two dashes to understand why.

13
00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:56,360
Let's scroll to the top of this long list of options.

14
00:00:56,390 --> 00:01:00,070
The new command requires us to give our app a name.

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,660
For this reason, we need to add the two dashes to the help option.

16
00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:10,940
If we didn't add these characters, the CLI would have assumed the name of our app is help instead of

17
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:13,730
giving us information about the command.

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,420
As for the other options, they are entirely optional.

19
00:01:17,420 --> 00:01:24,260
We don't need to include these options unless we want to alter the default installation of a new project.

20
00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:29,120
We won't need these commands, but it's always good to know what our options are.

21
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:31,440
Let's create a new project.

22
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:35,840
In the command line, we will run the new command again.

23
00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:38,630
This time we will give our app a name.

24
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:41,810
The name of our app will be called Basics.

25
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:49,910
After running this command, the CLI will ask us a series of questions about our project.

26
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:53,270
These are options to customize the project further.

27
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:58,030
The first question we will be asked is if we would like to enable routing.

28
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,940
Routing is a topic we will be exploring in a future section.

29
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:05,900
For our first project we're going to select No.

30
00:02:05,930 --> 00:02:11,990
Next, we will be asked to select our preferred approach for writing CSS.

31
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:17,120
If you're familiar with SASS or less, feel free to choose these options.

32
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,920
We won't be using either of these languages.

33
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:23,300
Plain CSS will work for our purposes.

34
00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:28,640
After selecting our options, the CLI will begin creating our project.

35
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:32,360
It'll scaffold files and install a few packages.

36
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:34,640
This process may take a while.

37
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:45,380
The project has been successfully installed during the installation.

38
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:47,690
You may have gotten the following warning.

39
00:02:47,690 --> 00:02:54,680
Warning LF will be replaced by CR LF If you did, it's safe to ignore this warning.

40
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,430
It's a formatting issue that the CLI will resolve for you.

41
00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:01,880
Let's look at our new project In the file tree.

42
00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:04,730
We will find a new folder called Basics.

43
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,510
It holds the same name we inputted in the command line.

44
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,930
Taking a peek inside there are dozens of files.

45
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:17,960
It can feel overwhelming, but we will walk through these files in an upcoming lecture before moving

46
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,590
further.

47
00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:22,100
Let's test if the application is working first.

48
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,880
I'm going to quickly move into this folder with my editor.

49
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,700
After moving into the folder, we can start the server.

50
00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:34,570
Let's explore how to start the server in the next lecture.
