Running the Application

Development Server

npm install
ng serve

Visit http://localhost:4200

Production Build

ng build

Alternative Port

ng serve --port 4201
  1. Landing Page → Select New User or Existing User
  2. New User Path:
    • New User Email → Signup Welcome → Signup Form → Dashboard
  3. Existing User Path:
    • Existing User Email → Login → Dashboard
  4. Dashboard: Access to Payment History and Bank Accounts

Assets

All original assets (CSS, images, fonts, logos) have been migrated to the public/assets/ directory.

Features Preserved

  • Payment notification displays
  • User authentication flow
  • Account creation process
  • Dashboard with pending payments
  • Bank account management
  • Payment history tracking
  • Auto and home claim portals

Next Steps

To fully complete the conversion:

  1. Implement form validation
  2. Add API integration for backend services
  3. Implement actual authentication logic
  4. Add state management (e.g., NgRx) if needed
  5. Convert remaining HTML pages from www/page directories
  6. Add unit tests for components
  7. Implement responsive design improvements
  8. Add error handling and user feedback

Notes

  • Bootstrap 3 is loaded via CDN in index.html
  • All components are standalone (no NgModule required)
  • Server-side rendering (SSR) is enabled
  • The application uses signals for reactive state management where appropriate
