Last Updated : 24 Apr, 2025

A component in Angular is the building block for making web pages. It is a reusable block of code that can be used anywhere in the app any number of times. It provides scalability, reusability, and readability. Each component does a specific job like showing a menu, a photo or a card, etc.

In this article, we will see how to create a new component in Angular.

Steps to create a new component in Angular:

Step 1: Download and install NodeJS from its official website, npm is included with that.

Step 2: To install angular CLI run the following command in the terminal.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Step 3: After installing angular cli, set up a new project in angular using the below command:

ng new my-angular-app

Folder structure:

Dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^17.1.0",
    "@angular/common": "^17.1.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^17.1.0",
    "@angular/core": "^17.1.0",
    "@angular/forms": "^17.1.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^17.1.0",

    "rxjs": "~7.8.0",
    "tslib": "^2.3.0",
    "zone.js": "~0.14.3"

Step 3: Navigate to the project using cd your-project-name and open the terminal and write the command mentioned below to generate a new component in angular:

ng generate component component-name

"OR"

You can use this shortcut

ng g c component-name

Note: After this command, it will ask you for styling so chose as per your needs( css for now) then it will ask for SSR, press n to skip it then the component will be generated in src folder of the project.
