Angular Bootstrap CLI

A simple custom CLI tool to create Angular projects with Bootstrap + FontAwesome. It saves time by automating the Angular setup, dependency installation, and configuration process.

📥 Installation

Install globally from npm:

npm install -g angular-bootstrap-cli

🚀 Usage

To create a new Angular project, run:

ng-b-fa-new my-app

This will:

• Create a new Angular app (ng new my-app)
• Install Bootstrap and FontAwesome
• Automatically configure angular.json with required CSS
• Remove zone.js for a zoneless Angular setup

⚙️ Options

You can pass flags when creating your project:

ng-b-fa-new my-app --no-standalone

• Default → Uses Angular’s standalone components
• --no-standalone → Creates a project using NgModules instead of standalone

📂 After Installation

Your project will already have:

• ✅ Bootstrap grid, utilities, and components
• ✅ FontAwesome icons
• ✅ Zoneless Angular configuration

No extra setup needed — just start coding 🚀

🖥 Example

# Create new standalone-based project
ng-b-fa-new shop-app

# Or create module-based project
ng-b-fa-new shop-app --no-standalone

# Move into project
cd shop-app

# Start dev server
ng serve -o

Open http://localhost:4200 to see your app running.

🧪 Quick Test

Inside app.component.html, replace the template with:

<div class="container text-center mt-5">
  <h1 class="text-primary">
    🚀 Angular Bootstrap CLI Works!
  </h1>
  <button class="btn btn-success mt-3">
    <i class="fa fa-check"></i> Bootstrap + FA
  </button>
</div>

If you see a styled heading and a green Bootstrap button with a FontAwesome icon — 🎉 setup is working!
