Prompting Playbook for Angular

• Specify 'Angular 17+ with standalone components' to get modern patterns without NgModule boilerplate
• Mention 'Angular signals' explicitly if you want signal-based reactivity instead of RxJS-heavy patterns
• Include your state management approach (NgRx, NGXS, or service-based) so AI generates compatible store patterns
• When requesting forms, specify 'reactive forms with FormBuilder' to avoid template-driven form generation
• Describe RxJS operator needs explicitly (e.g., 'use switchMap for cancellable HTTP requests') since AI may choose suboptimal operators

Patterns AI Should Follow in Angular

• Services with dependency injection using inject() function for typed HTTP operations and business logic
• Reactive forms with FormBuilder, custom validators, and dynamic form controls
• Route guards and resolvers for authentication, authorization, and data pre-fetching
• Component communication via @Input/@Output decorators and shared services with BehaviorSubject
• HTTP interceptors for auth tokens, error handling, and request/response transformation
• Standalone components with direct imports replacing NgModule declarations

Typed HTTP Service with Error Handling

A well-structured Angular service demonstrating typed HTTP calls, error handling, and RxJS operators that AI generates reliably.

import { Injectable, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpErrorResponse } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, catchError, map, throwError, retry } from 'rxjs';

export interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  role: 'admin' | 'user';
}

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class UserService {
  private readonly http = inject(HttpClient);
  private readonly apiUrl = '/api/users';

  getUsers(): Observable<User[]> {
    return this.http.get<User[]>(this.apiUrl).pipe(
      retry(2),
      catchError(this.handleError)
    );
  }

  getUserById(id: number): Observable<User> {
    return this.http.get<User>(`${this.apiUrl}/${id}`).pipe(
      catchError(this.handleError)
    );
  }

  createUser(user: Omit<User, 'id'>): Observable<User> {
    return this.http.post<User>(this.apiUrl, user).pipe(
      catchError(this.handleError)
    );
  }

  private handleError(error: HttpErrorResponse): Observable<never> {
    const message = error.error?.message || error.message;
    console.error('API Error:', message);
    return throwError(() => new Error(message));
  }
}
