**io8coder Plan for "Angular Clarity Boilerplate":**

**Project Title:** Angular Clarity Boilerplate

**Project Goal:** To provide developers with a feature-rich, scalable, and easy-to-use boilerplate for building enterprise-grade Angular applications with the Clarity Design System.

**Key Deliverables:**

1.  A pre-configured Angular project.
2.  Integration with the Clarity Design System.
3.  A responsive layout with a header, sidebar, and content area.
4.  Example modules (core, shared) and components.
5.  A clear and well-documented project structure.

**Technology Stack:**

* **Frontend:** Angular, TypeScript, HTML, SCSS.
* **UI Framework:** Clarity Design System.
* **Package Manager:** npm.
* **Build Tool:** Angular CLI.

**Phased Approach:**

**Phase 1: Project Setup and Core Architecture (Estimated: 1 day)**

* **Task 1.1:** Initialize a new Angular project.
* **Task 1.2:** Integrate the Clarity Design System.
* **Task 1.3:** Set up the core and shared modules.
* **Task 1.4:** Create the main layout component with a header, sidebar, and content area.

**Phase 2: Navigation and Routing (Estimated: 1 day)**

* **Task 2.1:** Implement the main routing module (`app-routing.module.ts`).
* **Task 2.2:** Create a navigation service to manage sidebar menu items.
* **Task 2.3:** Add example routes and components (e.g., dashboard, about page).
* **Task 2.4:** Implement lazy loading for feature modules.

**Phase 3: Example Components and Theming (Estimated: 2 days)**

* **Task 3.1:** Create example components using various Clarity components (datagrid, forms, modals, etc.).
* **Task 3.2:** Implement a theme service for switching between light and dark themes.
* **Task 3.3:** Add custom styles and branding.

**Phase 4: Documentation and Finalization (Estimated: 1 day)**

* **Task 4.1:** Write a comprehensive `README.txt` file.
* **Task 4.2:** Add comments and documentation to the code.
* **Task 4.3:** Clean up the codebase and remove any unnecessary files.

**Testing Strategy:**

* **Unit Tests:** Use Jasmine and Karma to write unit tests for components and services.
* **End-to-End Tests:** Use Protractor or Cypress for end-to-end testing of user flows.
* **Manual Testing:** Perform manual testing to ensure the application is working as expected.

**Assumptions:**

* The developer has a basic understanding of Angular and the Clarity Design System.
* The developer has Node.js and the Angular CLI installed.

### Implementation Plan: Notes App - 2025-10-14 06:15:20

#### Phase 1: Setup and Core Structure (Estimated: 2-3 Days)
1.  **Project Initialization:**
    *   Verify the cloned base project structure and identify the `frontend/` directory for development.
    *   Create `frontend/public/index.html` (if not already existing in a suitable form from the boilerplate), `frontend/public/style.css`, and `frontend/src/app.js` based on `.directory_structure.md`.
2.  **Define Note Data Model:**
    *   Establish a JavaScript object structure for a `Note`: `{ id: string, title: string, content: string, dateCreated: string }`.
    *   Implement a helper function to generate unique IDs (e.g., UUID).
3.  **Basic UI Skeleton (`frontend/public/index.html`):
    *   Set up the basic HTML structure including areas for a note creation form and a list to display notes.
    *   Link `style.css` and `app.js`.
4.  **Local Storage Service (`frontend/src/services/localStorageService.js`):
    *   Create a dedicated JavaScript module/service to abstract local storage operations (e.g., `saveNote`, `getNotes`, `updateNote`, `deleteNote`).

#### Phase 2: Core Feature Development (Estimated: 4-6 Days)
1.  **Note Creation (`frontend/src/app.js`, `frontend/src/components/NoteForm.js`):
    *   Implement the form for creating new notes (title input, content textarea, save button).
    *   Attach event listeners to capture input and trigger the `saveNote` function from the local storage service.
    *   Upon successful save, clear the form and trigger a refresh of the note list.
2.  **Note Listing (`frontend/src/app.js`, `frontend/src/components/NoteList.js`, `frontend/src/components/NoteItem.js`):
    *   On application load, call `getNotes` from the local storage service to retrieve all notes.
    *   Dynamically render each note as a list item, displaying its title, content snippet, and date created.
3.  **Note Deletion (`frontend/src/app.js`, `frontend/src/components/NoteItem.js`):
    *   Add a 'Delete' button next to each displayed note.
    *   Implement an event listener to call `deleteNote` from the local storage service with the note's ID.
    *   Remove the note from the UI after successful deletion.
4.  **Note Editing (`frontend/src/app.js`, `frontend/src/components/NoteItem.js`, `frontend/src/components/NoteForm.js`):
    *   Add an 'Edit' button to each note.
    *   When clicked, populate the creation form (or a dedicated edit form) with the selected note's data.
    *   Implement logic to call `updateNote` from the local storage service when the edited note is saved.
    *   Update the UI to reflect the changes.

#### Phase 3: UI/UX Refinement and Testing (Estimated: 2-3 Days)
1.  **Styling (`frontend/public/style.css`):
    *   Apply basic, clean CSS styling to ensure readability and a user-friendly interface.
    *   Ensure responsiveness for different screen sizes (basic level).
2.  **Error Handling & Validation:**
    *   Add basic form validation (e.g., title not empty).
    *   Implement simple error messages for local storage issues (e.g., `localStorage` not available).
3.  **Manual Testing:**
    *   Thoroughly test all CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) in various scenarios.
    *   Test edge cases (empty notes, very long notes, browser storage limits).

#### Resources & Collaboration
*   **io8codermaster:** Oversee the entire workflow, ensure adherence to principles.
*   **io8analyst:** Clarify any ambiguous requirements regarding note behavior or UI expectations.
*   **io8architect:** Provide guidance on module separation within `frontend/src/`, ensuring a scalable and maintainable structure for the JavaScript code (e.g., using `components/` and `services/`).
*   **io8developer:** Primary agent for implementing all code within the `frontend/` directory.
*   **io8pm:** Track progress, manage timelines, and report on milestones.
*   **Development Environment:** Standard IDE (e.g., VSCode), web browser with developer tools for inspecting `localStorage`.

#### Dependencies
*   Completion of initial project setup and directory structuring by `io8project_builder` and `io8directory_structure`.
*   Clarity on the 'Note' data structure and expected user interactions.
