Huge number of files generated for every Angular project

Question

I wanted to start a simple hello world app for Angular.

When I followed the instructions in the official quickstart the installation created 32,000 files in my proje

Answer 1

if you use Angular CLI you can always use --minimal flag when you create a project

ng new name --minimal

I've just run it with the flag and it creates 24 600 files and ng build --prod produces 212 KB dist folder

So if you don't need water fountains in your project or just want to quickly test something out this I think is pretty useful
