Next Steps
This document outlines the planned technical improvements and enhancements for the Healthcare Platform. These items represent opportunities to improve code quality, maintainability, and test coverage.Code Optimization
Performance Improvements
- Implement lazy loading for feature modules to reduce initial bundle size
- Add OnPush change detection strategy to components where applicable
- Optimize RxJS subscriptions with proper operators (shareReplay, distinctUntilChanged)
- Implement virtual scrolling for large data lists (patients, alerts, messages)
- Add memoization for expensive computed values
Bundle Optimization
- Analyze bundle size with webpack-bundle-analyzer
- Tree-shake unused dependencies
- Implement code splitting for route-based chunks
- Optimize image assets and implement lazy loading for images
Remove Dummy Data
Current Mock Data Locations
src/app/mock-data/- Contains mock data files for development- Inline mock data in component files
- Hardcoded values in services
Migration Plan
- Identify all mock data usage across the application
- Create environment-specific data loading strategies
- Implement feature flags to toggle between mock and real data
- Remove mock data files once API integration is complete
- Add data validation to ensure API responses match expected schemas
Database Connection
Backend Integration
- Implement proper API service layer with HttpClient
- Add request/response interceptors for authentication and error handling
- Create data models matching backend schemas
- Implement proper error handling and retry logic
Data Layer Architecture
State Management
- Implement centralized state management (NgRx or similar)
- Add caching layer for frequently accessed data
- Implement optimistic updates for better UX
DRY Methods for Repetitive Logic
Identified Patterns for Refactoring
Form Handling
- Create reusable form builder utilities
- Implement generic form validation helpers
- Extract common form field components
Data Transformation
- Create shared utility functions for date formatting
- Implement generic sorting and filtering utilities
- Extract common data mapping functions
API Calls
- Create generic CRUD service base class
- Implement shared error handling utilities
- Extract common HTTP interceptor logic
Example Refactoring
Shared Components to Extract
- Loading spinners and skeleton loaders
- Empty state displays
- Error message components
- Confirmation dialogs
- Pagination controls
Unit Tests Addition
Testing Strategy
- Achieve minimum 80% code coverage
- Focus on business logic and services first
- Test component interactions and state changes
Priority Areas
- Services - All data services and utilities
- Guards - Authentication and authorization guards
- Pipes - Custom transformation pipes
- Components - Complex components with business logic
Testing Tools
- Jasmine for test framework
- Karma for test runner (already configured)
- Angular Testing Library for component tests
Example Test Structure
Robot Framework E2E Tests
Setup Requirements
- Install Robot Framework:
pip install robotframework - Install SeleniumLibrary:
pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary - Install Browser drivers (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver)
Test Structure
Example Test Case
Critical User Flows to Test
- Authentication flow (login, logout, session management)
- Patient management (create, view, edit, search)
- Carepath workflows (create, assign, progress tracking)
- Questionnaire completion
- Alert management
- Messaging functionality
- Organization switching
Logic Split from Templates
Current Issues
- Business logic embedded in component templates
- Complex expressions in template bindings
- Inline styles mixed with component logic
Separation Strategy
Move Logic to Component Class
Extract Complex Calculations to Services
Separate Styles
- Move inline styles to component SCSS files
- Create shared style mixins for common patterns
- Use CSS custom properties for theming
File Structure Best Practice
