## Library project files
When you generate a library using the CLI (with a command such as `ng generate library my-lib`), the generated files go into the projects/ folder of the workspace. For more information about creating your own libraries, see [Creating Libraries](https://angular.io/guide/creating-libraries).
Libraries (unlike applications and their associated e2e projects) have their own `package.json` configuration files.
For more information about the library project structure, see [Creating Libraries](https://angular.io/guide/creating-libraries).
Under the `projects/` folder, the `my-lib` folder contains your library code.
| LIBRARY SOURCE FILES | PURPOSE |
| :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `src/lib` | Contains your library project's logic and data. Like an application project, a library project can contain components, services, modules, directives, and pipes. |
| `src/test.ts` | The main entry point for your unit tests, with some library-specific configuration. You don't typically need to edit this file. |
| `src/public-api.ts` | Specifies all files that are exported from your library. |
| `karma.conf.js` | Library-specific [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/2.0/config/configuration-file.html) configuration. |
| `ng-package.json` | Configuration file used by [ng-packagr](https://github.com/ng-packagr/ng-packagr) for building your library. |
| `package.json` | Configures [npm package dependencies](guide/npm-packages) that are required for this library. |
| `tsconfig.lib.json` | Library-specific [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) configuration, including TypeScript and Angular template compiler options. See [TypeScript Configuration](guide/typescript-configuration). |
| `tsconfig.spec.json` | [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) configuration for the library tests. See [TypeScript Configuration](guide/typescript-configuration). |
| `tslint.json` | Library-specific [TSLint](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/) configuration. |
