Angular is one of the most popular front-end web application platforms of the world. It comes with all the tools and best practices and allows you to use components to split your UI into different, reusable pieces.
Many applications need to solve the same general problems, such as presenting a unified user interface, presenting data, and allowing data entry. Developers can create general solutions for particular domains that can be adapted for re-use in different apps. Such a solution can be built as Angular libraries.
Any app developer can use the libraries that have been published as npm packages by the Angular team or by third parties. The libraries can be used locally in your workspace.
