AngularJS vs Angular: index.html and boostrapping

This is part of a series that compares AngularJS (the old Angular) to Angular.

For the first comparison, I’m going to look at index.html and how the apps are set up or bootstrapped.

  <h1>ToDos using AngularJS (1)</h1>
  <a href="#!/toDoList">ToDos</a>
  |
  <a href="#!/toDoAdd">New ToDo</a>
  <div ng-view></div>
</body>
</html>
index.html

On line 2, there is the ng-app directive, telling AngularJS to do its magic. Lines 5-13 there are script tags, first Angulars then mine. Then on line 26 we have a div with a ng-view directive, that's where all the magic happens.

  <a href="/toDoList">ToDos</a>

  <a href="/toDoAdd">New ToDo</a>
  <app-root></app-root>
</body>
</html>
index.html

The app-root tag replaces the div with the ng-view directive. There is no ng-app directive or script tags. When I did a view source. But how does it know which files to insert; I think it gets them from app.module.ts (the files are reduced to ES5 and dumped into a single file).

import { ReactiveFormsModule , FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ToDoItemComponent } from './pages/to-do-item/to-do-item.component';
import { ToDoListComponent } from './pages/to-do-list/to-do-list.component';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { HomeComponent } from './pages/home/home.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    ToDoItemComponent,
    ToDoListComponent,
    HomeComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpClientModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
app.module.ts

These are the files in the actual project, but an Angular app needs to be built. I built the app with the command ng build and when I look at the build results and this is the generated index.html:

Generated index.html

All of the TypeScript files mentioned in app.module.ts are transpiled into ES5 into main.js
