Refactoring Angular with Cursor: How It Works Best
I paid for Cursor IDE to test how well it actually works for refactoring of Angular code.
In this video, I take a small Angular project with common problems — weak typing, async antipatterns — and refactor it using Cursor, showing the techniques that are genuinely useful and where the tool still has limitations.
This is a practical, experience-based walkthrough focused on how to use Cursor effectively.
What I cover in this video:
Using Cursor Plan mode for structured refactoring
Choosing the right models for planning vs implementation
Refactoring Angular components and services safely
Providing proper Angular context to the AI
Importing framework documentation into Cursor
Why committing often matters when working with AI tools
A simple code-review workflow
Visual AI-editor for HTML and CSS
What Cursor handles well and where manual work is still required?
