Hi, I want to create an Angular project in abp cli, but I've noticed that the aspnet-core folder contains layers that I won't use. The project template I want to create should look like this.
However, when the cli code is run, the output is as follows.
The CLI I'm running is as follows.
I don't think I need these layers. What's wrong?

What you see is expected. When you create an ABP application with Angular UI, the CLI generates:
- angular: the SPA front-end project.
- aspnet-core: a clean, layered backend (Domain, Application, HttpApi, HttpApi.Host, EF Core, DbMigrator, etc.).
Those “layers” are the standard ABP solution structure for a modular, maintainable backend. The Angular app consumes the backend APIs from the HttpApi.Host. Even if you don’t touch each C# project directly, they are required for a functional backend and for features like permissions, auditing, data seeding, migrations, etc.
If you want only an Angular front-end without ABP backend projects:
- ABP does not provide a “front-end-only” application template via abp new. The application template always includes the backend layers.
- Alternatives:
- Use the Module/Library approach if you only need an Angular library that you’ll integrate into an existing app (abp new MyCompany.MyModule -t module -u angular). This creates an Angular UI package (library) structure, not a full backend.
- Or generate only the Angular client by starting from a plain Angular app, then add ABP Angular packages and generate static proxies against an existing ABP backend (abp generate-proxy -t ng -u <backend-url>). This still assumes you already have (or point to) an ABP backend.
- If you already have a separate backend and don’t want the generated aspnet-core at all, you can delete the aspnet-core folder after creation and keep only the angular folder, then configure environment.apis.default.url to your existing API base URL.
Summary of recommended commands:
- Full app (Angular UI + Backend, what you used): abp new MyApp -u angular -d ef
- Angular module (library) template: abp new MyCompany.MyModule -t module -u angular
- Generate Angular proxies against an existing backend: abp generate-proxy -t ng -u https://localhost:443xx

Hi, I'm currently using abp 8.2.2 and .net SDK 9.0.306. So, is Abp Suite not working due to an incompatibility between Abp and .net SDKs? Also, my main question is why are Blazor and similar projects added when creating a project in the CLI?
Thank you.

hi
I saw your ABP CLI version is 7.3.2.
Can you uninstall ABP CLI and ABP Suite, then reinstall them with version 8.2.x?
dotnet tool uninstall -g Volo.Abp.Cli dotnet tool uninstall -g Volo.Abp.Suite dotnet tool install --global Volo.Abp.Cli --version 8.3.4 abp suite install --version 8.3.4Thanks.

Its local computer screen shoots. I use remote pc for development. And remote PC has abp 8.2.2 and .net SDK 9.0.306. I uninstall and reinstall with your codes. Then I tryed with CLI this codes
.
But the backend project was created with more layers than I expected.
.
I don't think I need layers like Blazor MongoDb etc projects. What's wrong with me? -

hi
It may be that the
ABP CLI(dotnet global tool)lacks permissions to delete the redundant files.Can you try running it in admin mode?
You can share your project via WeTransfer, then download it from a remote PC. Is that possible?
Thanks.

Do I have to move it to a remote computer every time I want to create a project? Why does ABP Suite only work for existing projects?
I tried uninstalling and updating ABP CLI and Suite on my local computer. Now I can't install them on my local computer. This is my local pc.

I guess your remote PC has some environmental problem. Try to run it in administrator mode.
Now I can't install them on my local computer.
The latest CLI target to NET 10 SDK. You have to install the NET 10 SDK to install and use it.
Thanks.

hi
If this issue only exists on the remote server, you can create a new project on your local machine and then transfer it to the remote server.
Or can you try installing Studio on a remote server and creating?

Hi,
Why is this issue happening with the CLI? I've never used Abp Studio, but I'll give it a try. The issue with the CLI occurs on both the local and remote desktops.
Thanks
