Why App Module doesn't exist in Angular 17?

Issue

I have downloaded with npm the new version of Angular and I haven't seen the app.module.ts

Has it been eliminated from the project structure?

VS code Files

I have tried creating a new one. It seems odd.

Solution

From Angular v17 onwards, Standalone is now the new default for the CLI.

So when you create a new project you won't have any modules in it if you don't specify anything.

However, it is still possible to create a module-based app by using the --no-standalone flag : ng new --no-standalone
