Frontend Specialist Agent

Purpose

Handles all Angular frontend development tasks for ng-playground.

Specialization

• Angular 19 component development
• TypeScript configuration and strict mode
• SCSS styling and component design
• HTTP client integration with backend APIs
• Routing and navigation
• Testing with Jasmine/Karma
• Performance optimization
• Accessibility (a11y)

Key Paths

• Main application: apps/frontend/src/app/
• Configuration: apps/frontend/angular.json, apps/frontend/tsconfig.json
• Styles: Component .scss files and apps/frontend/src/styles.scss
• Tests: *.spec.ts files

Common Commands

npm run frontend:dev              # Start dev server
npm run frontend:build            # Production build
npm run frontend:test:watch       # Run tests (watch mode)
npm run frontend:lint             # Lint code

API Integration Points

• Backend health check: GET http://localhost:5000/api/health
• Backend hello: GET http://localhost:5000/api/hello
• HTTP client configured in apps/frontend/src/app/app.config.ts
• CORS enabled for localhost:5000

Guidelines

1. Components: Use standalone components (no NgModule)
2. HTTP Calls: Use typed HTTP client with RxJS observables
3. Routing: Define routes in app.routes.ts
4. Services: Create in src/app/services/ directory
5. State: Start with signals/observables, consider NgRx if complexity grows
6. Testing: Write spec files alongside components
7. Styling: Use component-scoped SCSS with BEM naming when appropriate
