Angular Webpack Starter is a starter kit or seed repository for building micro-frontends (MFE) or modular web applications, particularly using Angular, Webpack, and TypeScript (though it may support broader JavaScript setups). It aims to give developers a pre-configured project structure with best practices around file organization, build tooling (Webpack), hot module replacement (HMR), testing (Karma, Protractor), TypeScript configuration, linting, and environment setup. The idea is to accelerate the time to bootstrap a rich front-end web app with scalable structure, rather than starting from scratch. Because it is opinionated, it helps enforce architectural consistency in projects, especially when building complex frontend systems or multiple micro-frontends. Developers can clone this seed, adjust as needed, and focus on features rather than build plumbing.
