State Management

NgRx Architecture

The application uses NgRx for centralized state management following Redux principles.

Store Structure

// Store Shape
{
  user: {
    id: string,
    authorized: boolean,
    loading: boolean,
    role: string,
    // ... user data
  },
  settings: {
    theme: string,
    locale: string,
    // ... app settings
  }
}

Key Files

  1. store/reducers.ts - Root reducer combining feature reducers
  2. store/user/effects.ts - User-related side effects
  3. store/user/actions.ts - User action definitions
  4. store/settings/ - Settings state management

State Management Flow

Component → Dispatch Action → Effect (if async) → API Call → Reducer → Store → Component

Using NgRx in Components

Dispatching Actions

import { Store } from '@ngrx/store'
import * as UserActions from 'src/app/store/user/actions'

constructor(private store: Store<any>) {}

login() {
  this.store.dispatch(new UserActions.Login({ 
    email: 'user@example.com',
    password: 'password'
  }))
}

Selecting State

import { select } from '@ngrx/store'
import * as Reducers from 'src/app/store/reducers'

ngOnInit() {
  this.store.pipe(select(Reducers.getUser)).subscribe(user => {
    console.log('User state:', user)
  })
}

Effects (Side Effects)

Effects handle asynchronous operations like API calls:

import { createEffect, Actions, ofType } from '@ngrx/effects'

login = createEffect(() =>
  this.actions.pipe(
    ofType(UserActions.LOGIN),
    switchMap((action) =>
      this.apiService.login(action.payload).pipe(
        map((response) => new UserActions.LoginSuccess(response)),
        catchError((error) => of(new UserActions.LoginFailure(error)))
      )
    )
  )
)

Routing & Navigation

Routing Structure

The application uses lazy loading for all feature modules to optimize initial load time.

Main Routes (app-routing.module.ts)

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    redirectTo: 'dashboard',
    pathMatch: 'full',
  },
  {
    path: '',
    component: LayoutMainComponent,
    canActivate: [AuthGuard],
    children: [
      {
        path: 'dashboard',
        data: { title: 'Dashboard' },
        loadChildren: () => import('./pages/dashboard/dashboard.module')
          .then(m => m.DashboardModule),
      },
      // ... other routes
    ],
  },
  {
    path: 'auth',
    component: LayoutAuthComponent,
    children: [
      {
        path: '',
        loadChildren: () => import('./pages/auth/auth.module')
          .then(m => m.AuthModule),
      },
    ],
  },
]

Layout System

1. LayoutMainComponent

Main application layout for authenticated users:

2. LayoutAuthComponent

Authentication pages layout:

3. LayoutPublicComponent

Public pages layout

Route Guards

AuthGuard

Protects routes requiring authentication:

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
  canActivate(next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) {
    if (this.authorized) {
      return true
    }
    
    // Redirect to login with return URL
    this.router.navigate(['auth/login'], { 
      queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url } 
    })
    return false
  }
}

Navigation Menu

Menu configuration is stored in service files and loaded dynamically based on user role.

Services & API Integration

Service Architecture

Services are organized by feature domain and follow singleton pattern.

Core Services

1. ApiService (api.service.ts)

Base HTTP service for API communication:

export class ApiService {
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
  
  get(endpoint: string): Observable<any> {
    return this.http.get(`${API_URL}${endpoint}`)
  }
  
  post(endpoint: string, data: any): Observable<any> {
    return this.http.post(`${API_URL}${endpoint}`, data)
  }
}

2. TicketingService (ticketing.service.ts)

Handles ticketing system operations:

3. AssetManagementService (asset-management.service.ts)

4. HrService (hr.service.ts)

Human resource operations:

5. LeaveService (leave.service.ts)

Leave management:

6. BrandingApprovalService (branding-approval.service.ts)

Branding approval workflows

7. FreelanceManagementService

Freelance agent operations

HTTP Interceptors

JWT Interceptor

Automatically adds authentication tokens to requests:

@Injectable()
export class JwtInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
  intercept(request: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler) {
    const token = localStorage.getItem('token')
    if (token) {
      request = request.clone({
        setHeaders: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
      })
    }
    return next.handle(request)
  }
}

API Response Handling

Standard response format:

interface ApiResponse<T> {
  success: boolean
  data: T
  message?: string
  error?: string
}

Styling & Theming

CSS Architecture

The application uses SCSS for styling with the following structure:

Global Styles (src/app/@vb/css/)

Flex Layout CSS Classes

After migrating from Angular Flex Layout, the app uses custom CSS classes:

// Layout direction
.fx-layout-row { display: flex; flex-direction: row; }
.fx-layout-column { display: flex; flex-direction: column; }

// Flex sizing
.fx-flex-100 { flex: 1 1 100%; }
.fx-flex-50 { flex: 1 1 50%; }

// Alignment
.fx-layout-align-center-center {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

// Responsive classes
.fx-flex-lg-50 { /* Applied on lg breakpoint */ }

Theme System

Color Palette

Defined in colors.scss:

$primary: #0190fe;
$success: #46be8a;
$warning: #f39834;
$danger: #fb434a;

Ant Design Theme

Customized through src/app/@vb/css/vendors/antd/style.scss

Material Theme

Pre-built theme: indigo-pink from @angular/material

Component Styling

Components use encapsulated styles with .scss files:

@Component({
  selector: 'app-dashboard',
  templateUrl: './dashboard.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./dashboard.component.scss']
})

Responsive Design

Breakpoints:

Development Workflow

Code Quality

1. Prettier (Code Formatting)

npm run prettier

Configuration: .prettierrc

{
  "semi": false,
  "singleQuote": true,
  "printWidth": 100
}

2. TSLint (Code Quality)

npm run tslint

Configuration: tslint.json

Git Workflow

Pre-commit Hooks (Husky)

Automatically runs before commits:

Configuration in package.json:

{
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "npm run lint-staged"
    }
  }
}

Development Best Practices

  1. Change Detection: Use OnPush strategy for better performance
@Component({
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
  1. RxJS Subscriptions: Always unsubscribe or use async pipe
ngOnDestroy() {
  this.subscriptions.unsubscribe()
}
  1. Type Safety: Avoid any types, define interfaces
interface Employee {
  id: string
  name: string
  email: string
}

  1. Lazy Loading: Keep feature modules lazy-loaded

  2. Service Layer: Keep business logic in services, not components

Defined in angular.json:

{
  "budgets": [{
    "type": "initial",
    "maximumWarning": "25mb",
    "maximumError": "50mb"
  }]
}

Lazy Loading Benefits

Deployment

Cloudflare Workers

npm run deploy

Deployment configuration: .cloudflare/

Deployment Steps

  1. Build production version: npm run build
  2. Test build locally: Serve from dist/build/
  3. Deploy to Cloudflare: npm run deploy

Test Structure

describe('DashboardComponent', () => {
  let component: DashboardComponent
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<DashboardComponent>

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ DashboardComponent ]
    }).compileComponents()
  })

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(DashboardComponent)
    component = fixture.componentInstance
    fixture.detectChanges()
  })

  it('should create', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy()
  })
})

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Memory Issues During Build

Error: JavaScript heap out of memory

Solution: Use high-memory script

npm run ng-high-memory

2. Peer Dependency Warnings

Error: Peer dependency conflicts

Solution: Use legacy peer deps flag

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

3. OpenSSL Error (Node.js 17+)

Error: digital envelope routines::unsupported

Solution: Already configured in scripts with --openssl-legacy-provider

4. Port Already in Use

Error: Port 4201 already in use

Solution: Kill process or use different port

# Kill process on port 4201
lsof -ti:4201 | xargs kill -9

# Or use different port
ng serve --port 4202

5. Module Not Found Errors

Error: Cannot find module

Solution: Clean install

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install --legacy-peer-deps

Debug Mode

Enable Source Maps

Already enabled in development builds for debugging.

Chrome DevTools

Use Angular DevTools extension for debugging:

Best Practices

Component Development

1. Keep Components Small

// Good: Small, focused component
@Component({
  selector: 'app-user-card',
  template: `<div>{{ user.name }}</div>`
})
export class UserCardComponent {
  @Input() user: User
}

2. Use Smart/Dumb Pattern

3. Lifecycle Hooks

ngOnInit() {
  // Initialization logic
}

ngOnDestroy() {
  // Cleanup subscriptions
}

State Management

1. Keep Store Normalized

// Good: Normalized
{
  users: { 1: {...}, 2: {...} },
  userIds: [1, 2]
}

// Bad: Nested
{
  users: [{...}, {...}]
}

2. Use Selectors

export const getUsers = (state: AppState) => state.users
export const getUserById = (id: string) => 
  createSelector(getUsers, users => users[id])

Performance

1. Use OnPush Change Detection

@Component({
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})

2. Track By in *ngFor

<div *ngFor="let item of items; trackBy: trackById">
  {{ item.name }}
</div>

trackById(index: number, item: any): number {
  return item.id
}

3. Unsubscribe from Observables

private destroy$ = new Subject()

ngOnInit() {
  this.dataService.getData()
    .pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$))
    .subscribe(data => { })
}

ngOnDestroy() {
  this.destroy$.next()
  this.destroy$.complete()
}

Security

1. Sanitize User Input

Use Angular's DomSanitizer for HTML content

2. HTTP Security

3. XSS Prevention

Angular automatically sanitizes values in templates
