Angular coding style guide

Looking for an opinionated guide to Angular syntax, conventions, and application structure? Step right in! This style guide presents preferred conventions and, as importantly, explains why.

Style vocabulary

Each guideline describes either a good or bad practice, and all have a consistent presentation.

The wording of each guideline indicates how strong the recommendation is.

File structure conventions

Some code examples display a file that has one or more similarly named companion files. For example, hero.component.ts and hero.component.html.

The guideline uses the shortcut hero.component.ts|html|css|spec to represent those various files. Using this shortcut makes this guide's file structures easier to read and more terse.

Single responsibility

Apply the single responsibility principle (SRP) to all components, services, and other symbols. This helps make the app cleaner, easier to read and maintain, and more testable.

Rule of One

Style 01-01

The key is to make the code more reusable, easier to read, and less mistake prone.

The following negative example defines the AppComponent, bootstraps the app, defines the Hero model object, and loads heroes from the server all in the same file. Don't do this.

/* avoid */
import { Component, NgModule, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

interface Hero {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
      <h1>{{title}}</h1>
      <pre>{{heroes | json}}</pre>
    `,
  styleUrls: ['app/app.component.css']
})
class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  title = 'Tour of Heroes';

  heroes: Hero[] = [];

  ngOnInit() {
    getHeroes().then(heroes => (this.heroes = heroes));
  }
}

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  exports: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

const HEROES: Hero[] = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Bombasto' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Tornado' },
  { id: 3, name: 'Magneta' }
];

function getHeroes(): Promise<Hero[]> {
  return Promise.resolve(HEROES); // TODO: get hero data from the server;
}

It is a better practice to redistribute the component and its supporting classes into their own, dedicated files.

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HeroesComponent } from './heroes/heroes.component';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
  ],
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HeroesComponent
  ],
  exports: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { HeroService } from './heroes';

@Component({
  selector: 'toh-app',
  template: `
      <toh-heroes></toh-heroes>
    `,
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  providers: [HeroService]
})
export class AppComponent {}

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

import { Hero, HeroService } from './shared';

@Component({
  selector: 'toh-heroes',
  template: `
      <pre>{{heroes | json}}</pre>
    `
})
export class HeroesComponent implements OnInit {
  heroes: Hero[] = [];

  constructor(private heroService: HeroService) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.heroService.getHeroes()
      .then(heroes => this.heroes = heroes);
  }
}

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

import { HEROES } from './mock-heroes';

@Injectable()
export class HeroService {
  getHeroes() {
    return Promise.resolve(HEROES);
  }
}

export interface Hero {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

import { Hero } from './hero.model';

export const HEROES: Hero[] = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Bombasto' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Tornado' },
  { id: 3, name: 'Magneta' }
];

As the app grows, this rule becomes even more important. Back to top

Application structure and NgModules

Have a near-term view of implementation and a long-term vision. Start small but keep in mind where the app is heading down the road.

All of the app's code goes in a folder named src. All feature areas are in their own folder, with their own NgModule.

All content is one asset per file. Each component, service, and pipe is in its own file. All third party vendor scripts are stored in another folder and not in the src folder. You didn't write them and you don't want them cluttering src. Use the naming conventions for files in this guide. Back to top

It may be advantageous to deviate from the one-thing-per-file rule when you have a set of small, closely-related features that are better discovered and understood in a single file than as multiple files. Be wary of this loophole.

Overall structural guidelines

Style 04-06

Here is a compliant folder and file structure:

<project root>
  src
    app
      core
        exception.service.ts|spec.ts
        user-profile.service.ts|spec.ts
      heroes
        hero
          hero.component.ts|html|css|spec.ts
        hero-list
          hero-list.component.ts|html|css|spec.ts
        shared
          hero-button.component.ts|html|css|spec.ts
          hero.model.ts
          hero.service.ts|spec.ts
        heroes.component.ts|html|css|spec.ts
        heroes.module.ts
        heroes-routing.module.ts
      shared
        shared.module.ts
        init-caps.pipe.ts|spec.ts
        filter-text.component.ts|spec.ts
        filter-text.service.ts|spec.ts
      villains
        villain
          ...
        villain-list
          ...
        shared
          ...
        villains.component.ts|html|css|spec.ts
        villains.module.ts
        villains-routing.module.ts
      app.component.ts|html|css|spec.ts
      app.module.ts
      app-routing.module.ts
    main.ts
    index.html
    ...
  node_modules/...
  ...

While components in dedicated folders are widely preferred, another option for small apps is to keep components flat (not in a dedicated folder). This adds up to four files to the existing folder, but also reduces the folder nesting. Whatever you choose, be consistent.

Components

Components as elements

Style 05-03

There are a few cases where you give a component an attribute, such as when you want to augment a built-in element. For example, Material Design uses this technique with <button mat-button>. However, you wouldn't use this technique on a custom element.

  selector: '[tohHeroButton]',
  templateUrl: './hero-button.component.html'

Directives

Use directives to enhance an element

Style 06-01

@Directive({
  selector: '[tohHighlight]'
})
export class HighlightDirective {
  @HostListener('mouseover') onMouseEnter() {
    // do highlight work
  }
}

<div tohHighlight>Bombasta</div>

HostListener/HostBinding decorators versus host metadata

Style 06-03

import { Directive, HostBinding, HostListener } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
  selector: '[tohValidator]'
})
export class ValidatorDirective {
  @HostBinding('attr.role') role = 'button';
  @HostListener('mouseenter') onMouseEnter() {
    // do work
  }
}

Compare with the less preferred host metadata alternative.

import { Directive } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
  selector: '[tohValidator2]',
  host: {
    '[attr.role]': 'role',
    '(mouseenter)': 'onMouseEnter()'
  }
})
export class Validator2Directive {
  role = 'button';
  onMouseEnter() {
    // do work
  }
}
