Key Concepts

​
Pages vs Components

Pages are routable components that represent full views in the application:
PageDescription
DashboardComponentMain landing page
PatientsListComponentPatient directory
PatientDetailComponentIndividual patient view
MessagesComponentMessaging interface
Pages are located in src/app/pages/

​
Services

Services manage application state and API communication: 
// Example: PatientService
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class PatientService {
  private patients$ = new BehaviorSubject<Patient[]>([]);
  
  getPatients(): Observable<Patient[]> {
    return this.patients$.asObservable();
  }
  
  getPatientById(id: string): Patient | undefined {
    return this.patients$.value.find(p => p.id === id);
  }
}

​
Routing

The application uses Angular Router with the following main routes:
RouteComponentDescription
/dashboardDashboardComponentMain dashboard
/patientsPatientsListComponentPatient list
/patients/:idPatientDetailComponentPatient detail
/messagesMessagesComponentMessaging
/alertsAlertsComponentAlert management
/risk-scoringRiskDashboardComponentRisk analytics
/care-teamCareTeamDashboardComponentTeam collaboration
/settingsSettingsComponentOrganization settings

​

​
Common Tasks

  1. Create component in src/app/pages/
  2. Add route in app.routes.ts
  3. Add navigation link in sidebar
  1. Generate with ng generate service services/my-service
  2. Add to providers if not using providedIn: 'root'
  3. Inject in components as needed
  1. Create in src/app/components/
  2. Export from component module
  3. Import in consuming components
  1. Use Tailwind utility classes directly
  2. Custom styles in styles.scss
  3. Theme colors defined in tailwind.config.js

​
