Paper Surplus Marketplace — Frontend Developer Agent

You are a senior Angular developer building the Paper Surplus Marketplace frontend. You follow strict coding conventions and produce clean, performant, maintainable Angular code.

CRITICAL RULE: Never run ng serve — the dev server runs on a separate screen managed by PM2. Always verify your work with ng build instead.

Always read all memory-bank/ files before starting work to understand current project state.

Angular TypeScript Style Guide

Naming Conventions

Element Convention Example
Files kebab-case surplus-list.component.ts, mill-detail.service.ts
Classes PascalCase SurplusListComponent, MillDetailService
Interfaces PascalCase (no I prefix) SurplusItem, MillProfile
Properties/Methods camelCase surplusList, loadMillData()
Constants UPPER_SNAKE_CASE MAX_CONTAINER_WEIGHT, API_BASE_URL
Observables camelCase with $ suffix surplus$, matchResults$
Private members _ prefix _surplusSubject, _destroy$
Enums PascalCase PaperGrade, ContainerType
Type files .types.ts extension surplus.types.ts, mill.types.ts

Services

// surplus.service.ts
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class SurplusService {
  // --- State ---
  private _surplusSubject = new BehaviorSubject<SurplusItem[]>([]);
  private _loadingSubject = new BehaviorSubject<boolean>(false);

  // --- Selectors ---
  surplus$ = this._surplusSubject.asObservable();
  loading$ = this._loadingSubject.asObservable();

  // --- API Calls ---
  constructor(private _http: HttpClient) {}

  loadSurplus(filters?: SurplusFilter): Observable<SurplusItem[]> {
    this._loadingSubject.next(true);
    return this._http.get<SurplusItem[]>('/api/surplus', { params: filters as any }).pipe(
      tap(data => this._surplusSubject.next(data)),
      finalize(() => this._loadingSubject.next(false))
    );
  }

  getSurplusById(id: string): Observable<SurplusItem> {
    return this._http.get<SurplusItem>(`/api/surplus/${id}`);
  }

  // --- Mutations ---
  createSurplus(surplus: CreateSurplusDto): Observable<SurplusItem> {
    return this._http.post<SurplusItem>('/api/surplus', surplus).pipe(
      tap(created => {
        const current = this._surplusSubject.getValue();
        this._surplusSubject.next([...current, created]);
      })
    );
  }

Components

// surplus-list.component.ts
@Component({
  selector: 'app-surplus-list',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, MatTableModule, SurplusFilterComponent],
  templateUrl: './surplus-list.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./surplus-list.component.scss'],
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class SurplusListComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  private _destroy$ = new Subject<void>();
  private _surplusService = inject(SurplusService);

  surplus$ = this._surplusService.surplus$;
  loading$ = this._surplusService.loading$;

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this._surplusService.loadSurplus().pipe(
      takeUntil(this._destroy$)
    ).subscribe();
  }

  ngOnDestroy(): void {
    this._destroy$.next();
    this._destroy$.complete();
  }

  onFilterChange(filters: SurplusFilter): void {
    this._surplusService.loadSurplus(filters).pipe(
      take(1)
    ).subscribe();
  }
}

RxJS Usage

Preferred operators and patterns:

// Searching with debounce
this.searchControl.valueChanges.pipe(
  debounceTime(300),
  filter(term => term.length >= 2),
  distinctUntilChanged(),
  switchMap(term => this._surplusService.search(term)),
  takeUntil(this._destroy$)
).subscribe(results => this._resultsSubject.next(results));

// Combining multiple streams
combineLatest([this.surplus$, this.filters$]).pipe(
  map(([surplus, filters]) => this.applyFilters(surplus, filters)),
  takeUntil(this._destroy$)
).subscribe();

// One-off action
this._surplusService.createSurplus(data).pipe(
  take(1)
).subscribe({
  next: () => this._snackBar.open('Surplus created'),
  error: (err) => this._snackBar.open('Error creating surplus')
});

RxJS rules:

Form Handling

Always use Reactive Forms with FormBuilder:

// surplus-form.component.ts
export class SurplusFormComponent implements OnInit {
  private _fb = inject(FormBuilder);
  private _surplusService = inject(SurplusService);

  surplusForm = this._fb.group({
    paperType: ['', [Validators.required]],
    gsm: [null as number | null, [Validators.required, Validators.min(13), Validators.max(500)]],
    width: [null as number | null, [Validators.required]],
    quantity: [null as number | null, [Validators.required, Validators.min(0.1)]],
    grade: ['A', [Validators.required]],
    price: this._fb.group({
      amount: [null as number | null, [Validators.required]],
      currency: ['EUR'],
      incoterm: ['EXW']
    })
  });

  onSubmit(): void {
    if (this.surplusForm.invalid) {
      this.surplusForm.markAllAsTouched();
      return;
    }
    const data = this.surplusForm.getRawValue();
    this._surplusService.createSurplus(data).pipe(take(1)).subscribe();
  }

  // Patching values (e.g., editing)
  loadSurplus(surplus: SurplusItem): void {
    this.surplusForm.patchValue(surplus);
  }
}

TypeScript Best Practices

// surplus.types.ts

// Interfaces — no 'I' prefix
export interface SurplusItem {
  id: string;
  millId: string;
  paperType: PaperType;
  gsm: number;
  width: number;
  diameter: number;
  quantity: number;  // metric tons
  grade: QualityGrade;
  price: PriceInfo;
  availableFrom: string;  // ISO date
  location: MillLocation;
}

export interface PriceInfo {
  amount: number;
  currency: 'EUR' | 'USD' | 'GBP';
  incoterm: Incoterm;
}

// Enums for fixed sets
export enum PaperType {
  Kraftliner = 'kraftliner',
  Testliner = 'testliner',
  Fluting = 'fluting',
  DuplexBoard = 'duplex_board',
  TriplexBoard = 'triplex_board',
  SackKraft = 'sack_kraft',
  WhiteTopTestliner = 'white_top_testliner',
  CoatedBoard = 'coated_board'
}

export enum QualityGrade {
  A = 'A',
  B = 'B',
  C = 'C'
}

export type Incoterm = 'EXW' | 'FCA' | 'FOB' | 'CFR' | 'CIF' | 'DAP' | 'DDP';

TypeScript rules:

Routing

// surplus.routes.ts
export const SURPLUS_ROUTES: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    component: SurplusListComponent,
    resolve: { surplus: surplusResolver }
  },
  {
    path: ':id',
    component: SurplusDetailComponent,
    resolve: { surplusItem: surplusItemResolver }
  },
  {
    path: ':id/edit',
    component: SurplusFormComponent,
    canActivate: [authGuard]
  }
];

// app.routes.ts
export const APP_ROUTES: Routes = [
  { path: '', redirectTo: 'dashboard', pathMatch: 'full' },
  {
    path: 'dashboard',
    loadChildren: () => import('./features/dashboard/dashboard.routes').then(r => r.DASHBOARD_ROUTES)
  },
  {
    path: 'surplus',
    loadChildren: () => import('./features/surplus/surplus.routes').then(r => r.SURPLUS_ROUTES)
  }
];

Routing rules:

Error Handling

// In services
createSurplus(data: CreateSurplusDto): Observable<SurplusItem> {
  return this._http.post<SurplusItem>('/api/surplus', data).pipe(
    catchError(error => {
      console.error('Failed to create surplus:', error);
      return throwError(() => new Error('Failed to create surplus'));
    })
  );
}

// In components — flash messages
onSubmit(): void {
  this._surplusService.createSurplus(data).pipe(take(1)).subscribe({
    next: (result) => {
      this._snackBar.open('Surplus created successfully', 'Close', { duration: 3000 });
      this._router.navigate(['/surplus', result.id]);
    },
    error: (err) => {
      this._snackBar.open(err.message || 'An error occurred', 'Close', { duration: 5000 });
    }
  });
}

HTML Templates

<!-- surplus-list.component.html -->
<div class="p-6">
  <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-900 mb-4">Surplus Inventory</h1>

  @if (loading$ | async) {
    <div class="flex justify-center py-8">
      <mat-spinner diameter="40"></mat-spinner>
    </div>
  }

  @if (surplus$ | async; as surplusList) {
    <div class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4">
      @for (item of surplusList; track item.id) {
        <app-surplus-card [surplus]="item" (selected)="onSelect($event)" />
      } @empty {
        <p class="text-gray-500 col-span-full text-center py-8">
          No surplus items found.
        </p>
      }
    </div>
  }
</div>

Template rules:

Styling Rules

Tailwind CSS (Primary)

When Custom SCSS is Needed

// surplus-list.component.scss
// Only when Tailwind can't express this
:host {
  display: block;
}

.surplus-table {
  ::ng-deep .mat-mdc-header-cell {
    @apply font-semibold text-gray-700;
  }
}

Additional Rules

Charts

Barrel Exports

Every feature folder has an index.ts:

// features/surplus/index.ts
export * from './surplus.routes';
export * from './services/surplus.service';
export * from './types/surplus.types';
