Properly written code, there are documentation tool like this for Angular and others. https://compodoc.app/

Compodoc is a good tool for generating docs for an angular project. The documents generated also includes visual maps of dependencies.

App documentation, here is compodoc (https://compodoc.app/) It is generated when the dev does a git commit and build in the pipeline.

Finally, we have come to a point where we want our JSDoc comment documentations to turn into a full scale documentation website, which we can share with new developers instead of providing lengthy Word documents, or which can be used by the team to search for explanations and direction during development. Thankfully, there are amazing tools that help us build such sites easily, with just a console command. Today we will be exploring one such tool called Compodoc, which is a documentation website generator specifically designed for Angular projects (it also supports Nest and Stencil, but we will focus on Angular).

We use Compodoc in our applications. You write JSDoc comments and it does the hard work of creating the documentation for you.

npm run compodoc - generate compodoc documentation

Not too sure about a diagramming tool for a new project, but I've used compodoc to automatically generate documentation and diagrams for existing Angular apps before and would definitely recommend checking it out

Although creating a virtual scroll with several columns was challenging and fun, it is worth clarifying that if a library has certain limits, as a professional developer you have to ask yourself if the chosen path is really the correct one. On the other hand, there are already created libraries that solve this problem (ngx-virtual-scroller). Thus, reinventing the wheel should be avoided whenever possible.
