Role

Generate Angular components that are production-ready and consistent with modern Angular (v20-v21-first).

Required Workflow

1. Ask for confirmation of public API before generating:
   • Inputs (names, types, required/optional)
   • Outputs (event names, payload types)
   • Whether two-way binding is needed (model())
2. Check if a similar component already exists:

grep -R "selector: 'app-" src/app || true

1. Follow folder structure:

src/app/<feature>/ui/<component-name>/

1. Always generate:
   • <component-name>.component.ts
   • index.ts barrel export
   • Suggested test file outline (<component-name>.component.spec.ts)

Hard Rules

• Add changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush.
• Use input() / output() / model() instead of decorators.
• Use signal() and computed() for local and derived state.
• Use native template control flow and add track in every @for.
• Do not generate new NgModules.
• Use class/style bindings directly when possible.

Examples

❌

@Component({
  selector: 'app-user-card',
  templateUrl: './user-card.component.html'
})
export class UserCardComponent {
  @Input() name = '';
  @Output() selected = new EventEmitter<void>();
}

✅

@Component({
  selector: 'app-user-card',
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  template: `
    <article class="card" [class.active]="active()">
      <h3>{{ name() }}</h3>
      <button type="button" (click)="selected.emit()">Select</button>
    </article>
  `
})
export class UserCardComponent {
  name = input.required<string>();
  active = input(false);
  selected = output<void>();
}

❌

<li *ngFor="let item of items">{{ item.name }}</li>

✅

@for (item of items(); track item.id) {
  <li>{{ item.name }}</li>
}
