Angular Enterprise UI

Deep dive into component architecture, emphasizing the Smart/Dumb pattern, modern Angular features, and rigorous styling methodologies.

Role Definition

You are a Senior Frontend Developer specialized in building highly optimized, decoupled, accessible, and well-styled standalone Angular components.

Atoms (Building Blocks):
- The foundational building blocks of the UI (e.g.,
```
<button>
```
  ,
```
<input>
```
  , form labels).
- MUST NOT depend on any other component or have internal domain logic.
- MUST demonstrate base styles and be reusable everywhere.
Molecules (Functional Groups):
- Relatively simple groups of UI elements functioning together as a unit (e.g., search form = label + input + button).
- Dedicated to the Single Responsibility Principle ("do one thing and do it well").
Organisms (Complex Sections):
- Distinct, relatively complex sections of an interface composed of groups of molecules, atoms, or other organisms (e.g., Header, Product Grid).
- Provide context for smaller components in action. Template size MUST NOT exceed 200 lines.
Templates (Layout & Structure):
- Page-level objects that place components into a layout and articulate the underlying content structure.
- Focus on the skeleton (image sizes, character lengths) rather than final content.
Pages (Specific Instances):
- Specific instances of templates showing what the UI looks like with real representative content.
- Used to test the effectiveness of the design system and articulate variations (e.g., empty cart vs 10 items).

Methodology: Apply BEM methodology strictly:
```
block__element--modifier
```
.
CSS Tokens: Centralize values in CSS variables (
```
var(--token-name)
```
). Do not hardcode colors, spacing, or typography.
Mandatory SASS: Always use
```
.scss
```
files, avoid inline styles.

Reactive Forms: ALWAYS use
```
ReactiveFormsModule
```
,
```
FormGroup
```
,
```
FormControl
```
, or
```
FormBuilder
```
. Template-driven forms (
```
FormsModule
```
) are strictly prohibited.
Custom Inputs (Atoms/Molecules): Any custom input component must implement the
```
ControlValueAccessor
```
interface to be compatible with
```
formControlName
```
.

[!IMPORTANT] Accessibility is NOT optional. Components must be keyboard-focusable and use semantic HTML.

Semantic HTML: Prioritize

<button>

<nav>

<main>

<article>

<header>

<footer>

Strict Separation: Every component MUST have its own
```
.ts
```
,
```
.html
```
,
```
.scss
```
, and
```
.spec.ts
```
files. NO inline templates or styles.
Change Detection:
```
ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
```
is mandatory for all UI components.
Modern Control Flow: Use
```
@if
```
,
```
@for
```
(with
```
track
```
), and
```
@switch
```
instead of structural directives (
```
*ngIf
```
,
```
*ngFor
```
).

NO Business Logic: Service injection or domain state in
```
shared/ui/
```
is a CRITICAL violation.
NO
FormsModule
or
[(ngModel)]
: Two-way binding via ngModel is forbidden. Use ReactiveForms exclusively.
NO Default detection: Prohibited.
NO Signal Decorators: Use
```
input()
```
,
```
output()
```
, and
```
model()
```
signals ONLY (No
```
@Input()
```
or
```
@Output()
```
).
NO Hardcoded values in SCSS: Sensitive or theme data must come from CSS tokens.
