# Angular

Build a tool-calling AI agent using Mastra, then connect it to Angular by calling the agent from Mastra's standalone server.

You'll use [AI SDK UI](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/ai-sdk-ui/overview) and its [Angular bindings](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/angular) to stream responses into a chat interface.

## Before you begin

- You'll need an API key from a supported [model provider](https://mastra.ai/models). If you don't have a preference, use [OpenAI](https://mastra.ai/models/providers/openai).
- Install Node.js `v22.22.3` or later, or `v24.15.0` or later if you're on the 24.x line, or `v26.0.0` or later if you're on the 26.x line. These are the ranges Angular 22 supports.

## Create a new Angular app (optional)

If you already have an Angular app, skip to the next step.

Run the following command to [create a new Angular app](https://angular.dev/cli/new):

**npm**:

```bash
npm create @angular@latest mastra-angular -- --defaults --ssr=false
```

**pnpm**:

```bash
pnpm create @angular mastra-angular --defaults --ssr=false
```

**Yarn**:

```bash
yarn create @angular mastra-angular --defaults --ssr=false
```

**Bun**:

```bash
bunx @angular@latest mastra-angular --defaults --ssr false
```

This creates a client-side rendered project called `mastra-angular`, but you can replace it with any name you want.

Navigate to your project directory:

```bash
cd mastra-angular
```

## Initialize Mastra

Run [`mastra init`](https://mastra.ai/reference/cli/mastra). When prompted, choose a provider (e.g. OpenAI) and enter your key:

**npm**:

```bash
npx mastra@latest init
```

**pnpm**:

```bash
pnpm dlx mastra@latest init
```

**Yarn**:

```bash
yarn dlx mastra@latest init
```

**Bun**:

```bash
bun x mastra@latest init
```

This creates a `src/mastra` folder with an example weather agent and the following files:

- `index.ts`: Mastra config, including memory
- `tools/weather-tool.ts`: A tool to fetch weather for a given location
- `agents/weather-agent.ts`: A weather agent with a prompt that uses the tool

You'll call `weather-agent.ts` from your chat UI in the next steps.

## Exclude Mastra from the Angular build

Angular's default `tsconfig.app.json` compiles every file under `src/`, including the `src/mastra` server code. Its default `tsconfig.json` also enables `noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature`, which makes the generated `process.env` access in `src/mastra/index.ts` fail the build.

Keep the server code out of the browser build by adding `src/mastra/**` to the `exclude` list in `tsconfig.app.json`:

```json
{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": []
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*.ts"],
  "exclude": ["src/**/*.spec.ts", "src/mastra/**"]
}
```

## Install AI SDK UI

Install AI SDK UI along with the Mastra adapter and the Angular bindings:

**npm**:

```bash
npm install @mastra/ai-sdk@latest @ai-sdk/angular ai
```

**pnpm**:

```bash
pnpm add @mastra/ai-sdk@latest @ai-sdk/angular ai
```

**Yarn**:

```bash
yarn add @mastra/ai-sdk@latest @ai-sdk/angular ai
```

**Bun**:

```bash
bun add @mastra/ai-sdk@latest @ai-sdk/angular ai
```

## Create a chat route

Open `src/mastra/index.ts` and add a [chatRoute()](https://mastra.ai/reference/ai-sdk/chat-route) to your config. This creates an API route your Angular frontend can call for AI SDK-compatible chat responses, which you'll use with the `Chat` class next.

```ts
import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core/mastra'
// Existing imports...
import { chatRoute } from '@mastra/ai-sdk'

export const mastra = new Mastra({
  // Existing config...
  server: {
    apiRoutes: [
      chatRoute({
        path: '/chat/:agentId',
        version: 'v7',
      }),
    ],
  },
})
```

## Add the chat UI

Replace `src/app/app.ts` with the following component:

```ts
import { JsonPipe } from '@angular/common'
import { Component, signal } from '@angular/core'
import { Chat } from '@ai-sdk/angular'
import { DefaultChatTransport } from 'ai'

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  imports: [JsonPipe],
  template: `
    <main class="chat">
      @for (message of chat.messages; track message.id) {
        <article class="message" [class.user]="message.role === 'user'">
          <strong>{{ message.role === 'user' ? 'You' : 'Assistant' }}</strong>
          @for (part of message.parts; track $index) {
            @if (part.type === 'text') {
              <p class="text">{{ part.text }}</p>
            } @else if (part.type.startsWith('tool-')) {
              <details class="tool">
                <summary>{{ part.type.replace('tool-', '') }}</summary>
                <pre>{{ part | json }}</pre>
              </details>
            }
          }
        </article>
      }

      @if (chat.status === 'submitted') {
        <p class="status">Waiting for a response...</p>
      }

      @if (chat.error; as error) {
        <p class="error" role="alert">{{ error.message }}</p>
      }

      <form (submit)="sendMessage($event)">
        <label for="message">Your message</label>
        <textarea
          id="message"
          #messageInput
          rows="2"
          [value]="input()"
          (input)="input.set(messageInput.value)"
          placeholder="Ask about the weather..."
        ></textarea>
        <button
          type="submit"
          [disabled]="chat.status === 'submitted' || chat.status === 'streaming'"
        >
          Send
        </button>
        @if (chat.status === 'submitted' || chat.status === 'streaming') {
          <button type="button" (click)="chat.stop()">Stop</button>
        }
      </form>
    </main>
  `,
  styles: `
    .chat {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      gap: 1rem;
      max-width: 48rem;
      margin: 0 auto;
      padding: 1.5rem;
    }

    .message {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      gap: 0.5rem;
      padding: 0.75rem 1rem;
      border: 1px solid #d4d4d8;
      border-radius: 0.5rem;
    }

    .message.user {
      background: #f4f4f5;
    }

    .text {
      margin: 0;
      white-space: pre-wrap;
    }

    .tool pre {
      overflow-x: auto;
      margin: 0.5rem 0 0;
    }

    .error {
      color: #b91c1c;
    }

    form {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      gap: 0.5rem;
    }

    button {
      align-self: flex-start;
      padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
    }
  `,
})
export class App {
  readonly chat = new Chat({
    transport: new DefaultChatTransport({
      api: 'http://localhost:4111/chat/weather-agent',
    }),
  })

  readonly input = signal('')

  sendMessage(event: Event) {
    event.preventDefault()

    const text = this.input().trim()
    if (!text || this.chat.status === 'submitted' || this.chat.status === 'streaming') {
      return
    }

    this.chat.sendMessage({ text })
    this.input.set('')
  }
}
```

This component creates a [`Chat`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/getting-started/angular) instance and points its transport at the `chat/weather-agent` endpoint. The `Chat` class sends prompts there and streams the response into `chat.messages`.

It renders text parts as they arrive and shows tool calls in a collapsible `<details>` element. The status and error messages use the reactive `chat.status` and `chat.error` properties, and the **Stop** option cancels the active response.

> **Note:** Older Angular projects may name the root component file `app.component.ts` and its class `AppComponent`. If you're using an existing project, keep its file and class names so the imports in `src/main.ts` continue to work.

## Test your agent

To test your agent with the chat interface, run both the Mastra server and the Angular development server.

1. Start the Mastra development server:

   **npm**:

   ```bash
   npx mastra dev
   ```

   **pnpm**:

   ```bash
   pnpm dlx mastra dev
   ```

   **Yarn**:

   ```bash
   yarn dlx mastra dev
   ```

   **Bun**:

   ```bash
   bun x mastra dev
   ```

2. In a separate terminal window, start the Angular development server:

   **npm**:

   ```bash
   npm start
   ```

   **pnpm**:

   ```bash
   pnpm start
   ```

   **Yarn**:

   ```bash
   yarn start
   ```

   **Bun**:

   ```bash
   bun start
   ```

3. Open your application at <http://localhost:4200>

4. Try asking about the weather. If your API key is set up correctly, you'll get a response
