General structure of the application

📁 app                # Contains files related to the application
├── 📁 components     # Groups components specific to the application
├── 📁 pages          # Contains components related to pages
├── 📁 registry       # Contains the registry of components used in the application (subject to change)
📁 assets             # Contains static resources like images, global CSS files, and other necessary files
                        for the application
📁 css-overrides      # Contains CSS overrides (mandatory) to use the Assistant component.
📁 environments       # Contains environment-specific configuration files to manage environment variables
                        and other deployment-specific configurations

📁 app

The app folder is the core of the Angular application, containing the main components, configurations, routes, and services needed to build the user interface. Here is a detailed description of its content and role in the application:

📁 app                      # Main application folder (components, pages, config, routes)
├── 📁 components           # App-specific reusable components
├── 📁 pages                # Page-level components (home, search, widgets, etc.)
├── 📁 registry             # Document type registry and related logic
├── 🏷️ tokens.ts            # App-wide tokens
├── ⚙️ app.config.ts        # App configuration and providers
├── 🧩 app.component.ts     # Root component logic
├── 📝 app.component.html   # Root component template
├── 🗺️ routes.ts            # Application routes
└── 🌐 transloco-loader.ts  # i18n loader

In summary, the app folder contains the essential elements for the operation of the Angular application, including the root component, global configuration, routing, and internationalization. It serves as the entry point for the application's structure and business logic.

📁 pages

This is where the application pages are located as described in the routes file: app.routes.ts.

There are currently 4 main pages:

• Home, the home page
• Search, the search page. It is further divided into several other pages by existing tabs.
  • All, which contains the component(s) that will be used to display search results for the "All" tab.
  • Other tabs can be added as needed.
• Widgets, which contains the widgets used in the application.
• Assistant, which contains the layout for the assistant feature. This route needs a specific configuration to be enabled.

note

It is possible to use different components for each tab or for each type of returned documents. For this, you need to look at the file app/registry/document-type-registry.ts.

For simplicity reasons, in "Mint" we use only one component to display a result regardless of the tab or its type (html, pdf, slide...)
