🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and npm
Angular CLI 20+

npm install -g @angular/cli

Installation

Clone and install dependencies:

git clone <repository-url>
cd ng-template-example
npm install

ng serve

Open your browser: Navigate to http://localhost:4200/

Demo Login

Email: Any valid email format
Password: 123456

📱 Responsive Design

The application is fully responsive with breakpoints optimized for:

Mobile: 320px - 768px
Tablet: 768px - 1024px
Desktop: 1024px+

Features adaptive layouts for sidebar navigation, dashboard grids, and form layouts.

🎯 Key Components

Authentication Service (`auth.service.ts`)

// Modern signal-based authentication
const user = signal<User | null>(null);
const isAuthenticated = computed(() => !!user());

login(credentials: LoginRequest): Observable<User>
register(userData: RegisterRequest): Observable<User>
logout(): void
updateProfile(profile: Partial<User>): Observable<User>

Dashboard Component

Stats Display: Dynamic metric cards with animations
Quick Actions: Gradient buttons with loading states
Activity Feed: Real-time updates and notifications
System Monitoring: Health status indicators

Layout System

Main Layout: Responsive sidebar with navigation
Auth Layout: Centered forms with background patterns
Mobile Navigation: Collapsible drawer with touch gestures

app.routes.ts: Route definitions with lazy loading
angular.json: Build and project configuration
tailwind.config.js: TailwindCSS customization

Styling Architecture

// Global styles (styles.scss)
@import 'tailwindcss';
@import '@angular/material/theming';

// Component styles
.component-class {
  // Custom SCSS with TailwindCSS utilities
}

📊 Performance Optimizations

Bundle Optimization

Lazy Loading: Route-based code splitting
Tree Shaking: Unused code elimination
OnPush Strategy: Optimized change detection
Standalone Components: Reduced bundle size

Animation Performance

Hardware Acceleration: CSS will-change property
60fps Animations: Optimized transitions with cubic-bezier
Reduced Repaints: Transform-based animations

🚦 Routing Strategy

Route Structure

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'auth', loadComponent: () => AuthLayoutComponent },
  { path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () => DashboardComponent, canActivate: [authGuard] },
  { path: 'profile', loadComponent: () => ProfileComponent, canActivate: [authGuard] },
  { path: '', redirectTo: '/dashboard', pathMatch: 'full' }
];

Guard Implementation

Auth Guard: Protects authenticated routes
Guest Guard: Redirects authenticated users
Role-based Guards: Permission-based access control

🎨 Design System

Color Palette

Primary: Azure blue variants
Accent: Material blue tones
Background: Gradient combinations
Text: High contrast ratios

Typography

Font Family: System font stack
Scale: Material Design type scale
Weight: 400, 500, 600, 700
