SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex process of migrating legacy Model-View-Controller (MVC) web pages to a modern Angular Single Page Application (SPA) architecture, streamlining development and improving application maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

Code Analysis: Scans legacy MVC code (controllers, views, scripts) to identify components and dependencies.
API Layer Planning & Generation: Designs and creates necessary Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), extension methods, and API controllers for the new architecture.
Frontend Component Migration: Guides the creation of Angular components, including grids, maps, and modals, integrating with the new API.
Authorization Mapping: Translates legacy authorization attributes to modern equivalents.
Testing & Verification: Includes steps for writing and running both API and frontend tests, and a checklist for final verification.
Use Case: Migrating an existing "Customer Management" page from an old MVC framework to a new Angular application, ensuring all data display, editing, and authorization logic is correctly translated.

Quick Start

Use the migrate-page skill to begin migrating the 'Product' entity from legacy MVC to Angular.

What does migrating an MVC page to a Single Page Application involve?▼

Migrating an MVC page to a Single Page Application involves scanning legacy code, generating an API layer with DTOs, creating Angular components for grids and modals, mapping authorization, and guiding testing and legacy code deprecation.

How do I generate API controllers and DTOs when refactoring MVC to Angular?▼

When refactoring MVC to Angular, this skill designs the API layer by generating necessary Data Transfer Objects, extension methods, and API controllers to bridge the legacy backend with the new frontend architecture.

Can I map legacy authorization attributes to a new Angular SPA and API setup?▼

Yes, you can map legacy authorization attributes to modern equivalents during the MVC to Angular migration, ensuring the new SPA and API architecture correctly translates existing data access and security logic.

What is the best way to handle Angular component creation for grids and modals from legacy MVC views?▼

Handling Angular component creation for grids and modals from legacy MVC views is managed by analyzing existing scripts and views, then guiding the generation of new Angular components that integrate with the newly created API layer.

Does migrating an MVC page to an Angular SPA require writing tests for the new API and frontend?▼

Migrating an MVC page to an Angular SPA includes dedicated steps for writing and running both API and frontend tests, plus a final verification checklist to ensure the new architecture functions correctly before deprecating legacy code.
