📘 Angular 21 Enterprise Boilerplate

A modern, scalable, signal-first Angular 21 architecture built for real-world enterprise and SaaS applications.

This boilerplate provides a production-ready foundation using Domain Driven Design, Clean Architecture, and Angular’s latest features including standalone APIs, zoneless change detection, and signals.

---

🚀 Why This Boilerplate Exists

Most frontend projects slow down over time due to poor structure, tight coupling, and inconsistent architecture.

This boilerplate solves that by providing:

• Clear domain ownership
• Enterprise-grade infrastructure layer
• Signal-based reactive state management
• Scalable feature architecture
• Centralized error, loading, logging & caching systems
• Reusable design system
• Mock API development support
• Performance and scalability patterns

---

⭐ Key Features

✅ Angular 21 Modern Architecture

• Standalone components
• Zoneless change detection
• Signals-first reactive state
• Function-based guards & interceptors

---

✅ Domain Driven Design (DDD)

Each feature is self-contained with:

• API contracts
• Repository layer
• Store layer
• UI layer
• Providers

---

✅ Enterprise Infrastructure

• HTTP abstraction layer
• Interceptor pipeline
• Logging system
• Global error handling
• Loading tracking system
• Request caching
• Smart retry strategy

---

✅ Authentication & Authorization

• Login workflow
• Role hierarchy
• Permission guards
• Refresh token handling
• Route-level security

---

✅ Task CRUD (Reference Feature)

• Optimistic UI updates
• Rollback handling
• Signal forms
• Repository pattern
• DTO → Model mapping

---

✅ Feature Flags

• API-driven feature toggling
• Directive-based UI rendering

---

✅ Theme Engine

• Dark / Light mode
• Dynamic color branding
• CSS variable integration
• Angular Material + Tailwind sync

---

✅ Loading & Skeleton System

• Automatic request detection
• Global loading store
• Reusable skeleton directive

---

✅ Error Handling & UX Feedback

• Centralized HTTP error interceptor
• Error classification
• Toast notification system
• Logger integration

---

✅ Mock API Development

• Mock Service Worker (MSW)
• Domain-aligned API simulation
• Offline development support

---
