Is angular a spa framework or is some other files that I need to copy to turn it into a spa framework?

Yes... but, Javascript frameworks (Angular, Vue, React) tend to allow for some flexibility, i.e. you can make a SPA, or you could choose to just add some behaviour to different MPA pages.

Evan You calls it (Vue) Progressive Framework, i think that's also true for React and Angular, unlike, for example, jQuery - which feels more like a utility library. (But you can also build SPA's with it, if you are masochistic :D)

There are probably dozens of Javascript frameworks out there, not all of them are designed with SPA's in mind. Many of them are from times when mobile phones weighed 2 pounds and Internet Explorer was a good browser (ok i think that was never the case).
