Windmillcode Angular CDK

Welcome to the Windmillcode Angular Library, a comprehensive suite of Angular components designed to help you build engaging, robust, and user-friendly web applications. This library, also known as the Windmillcode Angular Component Development Kit (CDK), provides a collection of reusable UI components, each crafted with attention to detail and performance.

{/* <!-- The project is still in beta because we want to make fundamental changes to our component library concerning animation, conformity, and accessing fuctionality w/o the need of a component for greater customization refer below to which packages you can use in production. --> */}

Features

Minimal Configuration/Installation

• most libraries depend on Angular Material and compatibility issues appear as your projects get bigger. The basis of our components are vanilla js and stable typescript features so as your project grows if there are any configuration issues it (hopefully) wont be with us

Articulate Complex Thoughts Into Code Easier

• How can we make our own flyout without grabbing a component. what if we want to remake a component from scratch down do mabye 90% of the vey detail. By understanding that you can bind our classes to every element complex features that are rather wieldy or difficult to implement now have a uniform pattern which also for greater creativity on the part of the developer.

Feels Like React

• You have a component and you have your props and you also have setState. This design makes it easier for those with a React/Nextjs background to transition to Angular if using our library

Plug And Play

Angular can get rather a verbose language we aim to simplify angular with plug and play mentaility With plug and play every compoonent has its props as in react this props is a class and you simply pass the prop the to class to render the component

// app.component.ts

// Standalone there are default values to see how the component works
props = new WMLInputZeroProps({})

// To pass arguments/customize
props = new WMLInputZeroProps({
  datetime:new WMLInputZeroDatetimeProps({
    type:"datetime",
    min =new Date("[YOUR BIRTHDAY FOR EXAMPLE]")
  })
})

// app.component.html
<wml-input-zero [props]=props>
</wml-input-zero>

Constant and conforming updates :

• Since around Angular 16.2 for every angular version we create a new version of the library. The versions are based on @angular-core This means that you can be sure that the library is always up to date with the latest angular version. down to the patch version. However as of 18.1.3 the library has been unified for production use

Extensive Component Collection

Our library includes a wide array of components, ranging from UI elements like buttons and input fields to complex constructs like file upload and dropdowns. Each component is designed to be modular, making it easy to integrate into your existing Angular projects.

Customizable and Themable

Components are designed to be easily customizable and themable, allowing you to align them with your application's branding and design guidelines.Via modifying the css variables specific to each component you can get granular control over the look and feel of the components.

{/* <!-- - **Test Ready**: Each component comes with its own set of unit tests, ensuring that they work as expected and providing a foundation for you to add your own tests as you integrate them into your projects. --> */}

PREMIUM / ENTERPRISE

Internationalization - All components are i18n compatible under ngx-translate. Use the default en.json file in your project and update and pass the i18n strings to the appropriate keys in the props that are passed to the component View the premium version of the library

Caveats

• fonts are not set so you can set global fonts without worry of overrides
• "All previous versions in the changelog dont exist All versions start at 18.1.3003, although there are plans for backporting to every patch version of angular. (non-guarantted) use npm install --verbose [PACKAGE NAMES] --force for versions older than 18

Contributing

** Work In Progress** We welcome contributions to the Windmillcode Angular Library! Whether it's adding new components, enhancing existing ones, or reporting bugs, your contributions are valuable to us. Please refer to our contribution guidelines before making a pull request.

• pull the desired repo
• if its a components module replace free from free.module.ts with module ts
• Terminal 1

cd projects/[desired project]
npx ng build --watch

• Terminal 2

# wait for project to appear in dist
cd dist/[desired project]
npm link

in the consumer you need add the path to the dist in the consumers tsconfig.json
