# Project Plan - Angular Clarity Boilerplate

## 1. Project Goal

To develop and deliver a comprehensive, scalable, and well-documented Angular boilerplate. The final product will serve as a foundational template, enabling developers to rapidly bootstrap new enterprise-grade web applications using the VMware Clarity Design System.

## 2. Methodology

The project will follow an iterative development approach, focusing on establishing a solid architectural foundation first. The goal is to create a robust Minimum Viable Product (MVP) boilerplate that is immediately useful and can be enhanced over time with additional features and refinements based on developer feedback.

## 3. Key Phases & Workflow

1.  **Phase 1: Foundation & Architecture Definition:** Define the core architectural patterns, including the modular structure (`Core`, `Shared`, `Feature` modules) and establish the base project setup.
2.  **Phase 2: MVP Scope & Requirements:** Outline the essential features for the initial boilerplate release, including Clarity integration, responsive layout, and routing. Document these in the PRD and Architecture Document.
3.  **Phase 3: Backlog Creation & Planning:** Break down the architectural and functional requirements into a prioritized list of development tasks.
4.  **Phase 4: Development & Integration:** Implement the core architecture, integrate the Clarity Design System, and build out the foundational components and modules.
5.  **Phase 5: Quality Assurance & Documentation:** Thoroughly test the boilerplate for stability and ease of use. Ensure all key architectural decisions are well-documented within the code and in project documents like the `README.txt`.
6.  **Phase 6: Release & Future Iteration:** Package and release the initial version of the boilerplate. Plan for future enhancements based on potential developer needs and feedback.

## 4. Initial Backlog (MVP Focus)

The following tasks represent the initial backlog for creating the boilerplate:

### Architecture & Setup Tasks
-   Initialize a new project using the Angular CLI.
-   Define and implement the `CoreModule` for singleton services.
-   Define and implement the `SharedModule` for reusable components, pipes, and directives.
-   Configure the main `AppRoutingModule` and set up a basic routing structure.
-   Establish the environment configuration files (`environments` folder).

### Clarity Design System Integration
-   Install all necessary Clarity npm packages (`@clr/angular`, `@clr/ui`, `@cds/core`).
-   Import Clarity's global styles and icon assets into the project.
-   Implement the main application layout (`AppComponent`) using Clarity's header, sidebar, and content area components.
-   Ensure the layout is fully responsive.

### Boilerplate Feature Tasks
-   Create an example of a lazy-loaded `FeatureModule` to demonstrate the pattern.
-   Add a dashboard or home page component as a default view.
-   Include examples of common Clarity components (e.g., a datagrid, a form) on example pages to showcase usage.
-   Implement basic support for switching between Clarity's light and dark themes.

### Documentation Tasks
-   Create a comprehensive `README.txt` with setup instructions, an overview of the architecture, and usage guidelines.
-   Add inline comments to the code to explain key architectural patterns and configurations.
-   Generate all required project documentation (`analysis_document.md`, `architecture_document.md`, etc.).

## 5. Feature Prioritization Strategy

Prioritization will focus on establishing a stable and usable foundation. **Must-have** features include the core modular architecture and full integration of the Clarity layout. **Should-have** features include example pages and components. **Could-have** features for future iterations might include state management integration or CI/CD templates.

## 6. Key Technologies

-   **Frontend Framework:** Angular
-   **Programming Language:** TypeScript
-   **UI Library:** VMware Clarity Design System
-   **Styling:** SCSS
-   **Package Manager:** npm
-   **Build Tool:** Angular CLI

## 7. Success Metrics (MVP)

-   The boilerplate can be successfully cloned and set up with just `npm install` and `ng serve`.
-   The resulting application is stable, responsive, and free of console errors.
-   The project structure is logical and easy for an Angular developer to understand.
-   All core architectural patterns (Core/Shared/Feature modules, lazy loading) are correctly implemented and demonstrated.

## 8. Future Considerations (Post-MVP)

-   Integrating a state management library (e.g., NgRx, Akita) with an example implementation.
-   Adding more complex example pages (e.g., a settings page, a user profile).
-   Creating custom Angular Schematics to automate the creation of new feature modules that follow the boilerplate's conventions.
-   Including pre-configured templates for CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).
