Where are the angular.js files for Umbraco 11?

I was moving some of the HTML/Angular.js views from Umbraco 8 and trying to add them to a test Umbraco 11 project but when i run the custom section and click the menu item i receive an error.

Digging into the error i have the below listed

Could not load content for https://localhost:12345/umbraco/lib/angular/angular.js (HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE)

I looked into the project directory and that path doesnt exist. As a matter of fact the Umbraco folder doesnt have any files under (well i see two which is Data and Logs).

Where or how could i reference the angular.js file? As far as i can tell Umbraco 11 still uses Angular for backoffice templates and MVC/Core Views are not supported?

The problem is still there for Umbraco 13.1

Umbraco switched to using a Razor Class Library from v10, so they are included in the dll’s.

They are staticWebAssets in the nuget package..
Umbraco.Cms.StaticAssets 11.0.0 | NuGet Package Explorer

If you publish a release version of your app.. then you’ve see them in the wwwroot/umbraco folder.
During development/vs studio the .netcore framework sources them magically from the package/dll not entirely sure which is correct.. but don’t think they are quite the same as an embedded resource in the dll.

There is the added complication that the umbraco backoffice when debug=false, for production will minify and combine assets for use in the backoffice

localhost:44312/umbraco/lib/angular/angular.min.js

exists for me.. spinning up a v 11 app.. (maybe it’s just umbraco.cms don’t ship the unminified version anymore?)
