# Angular Plugin
The Nx Plugin for Angular contains executors, generators, and utilities for managing Angular applications, and libraries within an Nx workspace. It provides:
- Integration with libraries such as Jest, Cypress, Karma, Protractor, and Storybook.
- Helper services, and functions to use along with NgRx libraries.
- Scaffolding for upgrading AngularJS applications.
- Scaffolding for creating buildable libraries that can be published to npm.
- Utilities for automatic workspace refactoring.
## Adding the Angular plugin
Adding the Angular plugin to a workspace can be done with the following:
```bash
#yarn
yarn add -D @nrwl/angular
```
```bash
#npm
npm install -D @nrwl/angular
```
## Angular Projects in an Nx Workspace
Building Angular applications within an Nx workspace is similar to building within a vanilla Angular CLI workspace, with a few differences.
- Jest is used as the default unit test runner, configurable in the generators section of the workspace configuration file.
- Cypress is used as the default E2E test runner, configurable in the generators section of the workspace configuration.
- E2E tests are included in a separate project from the Angular application itself.
- The Nx CLI delegates common commands such as build, serve, test, lint, and e2e to the Angular CLI.
The file structure for an Angular application looks like:
```treeview

- DataPersistence - Angular Service that provides convenience methods for common operations of persisting data.
- fetch - Handles data fetching, and correct ordering of fetching using NgRx Effects
- navigation - Handles data fetching based on navigating to a certain component using NgRx Effects
- optimisticUpdate - Handles optimistic updates (updating the client first) using NgRx Effects.
- pessimisticUpdate - Handles pessimistic updates (updating the server first) fetching using NgRx Effects.
NxModule - An NgModule used to register the Angular providers, including DataPersistence.
