Angular Console VSCode Plugin

Last year we released Angular Console — the user interface for the Angular CLI. And today we are happy to announce the first stable release of Angular Console VSCode Plugin.
Why Angular Console?
Professional developers use both command-line tools and user interfaces. They commit in the terminal, but resolve conflicts in VSCode or WebStorm. They use the right tool for the job.
Angular CLI is a command-line tool, which works great when you want to serve an application or generate a simple component. But it falls short once you start doing advanced things.
For instance:
- Exploring custom schematic collections is hard in the terminal, but it’s easy using Angular Console.
- Using rarely-used flags is challenging. Do you pass absolute or relative paths? You don’t have to remember any flags, names, or paths — Angular Console will help you by providing autocompletion and validating your inputs.
- Finding the right Angular CLI extension can take a long time. When using Angular Console, you can find and install an extension in minutes.
Angular Console does more than that:
- It highlights the results of a build or a test run.
- It visualizes how different projects in your workspace depend on each other.
- It shows dry run results as you create your command
- It remembers your most recent cli commands and saves their output for your reference
Download
If you are a VSCode user, the best way to try Angular Console is by installing the Angular Console VSCode Plugin.
If you aren’t a VSCode user, download a standalone desktop application at angularconsole.com.
