SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured approach to building Angular 20+ applications by enforcing Scope Rule, Screaming Architecture, and the use of standalone components, ensuring consistent organization, naming, and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standalone Components First: ALL components SHOULD be standalone; modern Angular favors standalone components and inject() usage, coupled with signal-based state management.
  • Modern Template Syntax: Use @if, @for, @switch, @defer, typed reactive forms, and avoid legacy NgModules for structure.
  • The Scope Rule — Unbreakable Law: Code used by 2+ features MUST live in global/shared areas; code for a single feature stays local.
  • Screaming Architecture: Directory structure should tell the business story; feature components must align with feature names.
  • Decision Framework: Count feature usage, apply the rule, validate against best practices, and document decisions with rationale.
  • Project Structure: Presents a complete layout for feature, shared, core, and routing with standalone patterns.
  • Standalone Component Pattern: Demo patterns for using imports, signals, and inject() in standalone components.
  • Service with Signals: Pattern for local and injectable services using signals for state management.
  • Quality Checklist & Edge Cases: Migration strategies, lazy loading via standalone routes, and guardrails.

Frequently Asked Questions about scope-rule-architect-angular

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a large Angular application using standalone components?▼

Apply the Scope Rule by placing code used by two or more features in global or shared areas, while keeping single-feature code local. This ensures consistent organization, naming, and maintainability across medium-to-large Angular projects.

What is the Scope Rule in Angular architecture?▼

The Scope Rule in Angular architecture dictates that code used by two or more features must live in global or shared areas, while code for a single feature stays local. This unbreakable law ensures consistent project organization and maintainability.

How do I migrate legacy NgModules to standalone components in Angular 20+?▼

Migrate legacy NgModules by adopting standalone components alongside modern template syntax like @if and @defer, and signal-based state. The framework provides migration strategies, lazy loading via standalone routes, and guardrails to validate decisions.

Does this Angular architecture approach work with signal-based state management?▼

Yes, this Angular architecture mandates signal-based state management coupled with standalone components and inject() usage. It provides specific patterns for local and injectable services using signals for state handling.

When should I use shared versus local code in an Angular project?▼

Use shared or global code when a feature is used by two or more areas, and keep code local when it serves a single feature. Apply the Scope Rule by counting feature usage, validating against best practices, and documenting decisions with rationale.

What are the limitations of using standalone components in Angular?▼

Limitations and edge cases during migration include managing lazy loading via standalone routes and validating guardrails. The architecture addresses these by providing a quality checklist and decision framework to ensure correct standalone component implementation.
