ToolInventory

ToolInventory is a full-stack tool management system with:

1. Backend API in src/ToolInventory.API (.NET 10, EF Core, Identity, JWT).
2. Frontend in frontend/tool-inventory-app (Angular 21, Angular Material).
3. Mobile app in mobile/ToolInventory.MAUI (.NET MAUI).

Repository structure

Path	Purpose
src/	Backend projects (API, Core, Infrastructure, Shared)
frontend/tool-inventory-app/	Angular web app
mobile/ToolInventory.MAUI/	MAUI mobile app
tests/	API tests and E2E tests

Recent architecture improvements

Backend

1. Controllers are thinner; checkout/tool/maintenance business rules moved to service layer.
2. Startup is split into extension methods (ServiceCollectionExtensions, ApplicationBuilderExtensions).
3. Repository/UoW support cancellation tokens and filtered paging.
4. Inputs are normalized centrally and API errors are consistently returned as ProblemDetails.
5. Added optimized scanner check-in endpoint: PUT /api/checkouts/tool/{toolId}/checkin.

Frontend

1. confirm() prompts replaced by shared Angular Material confirm dialog.
2. Scanner check-in now uses backend endpoint by tool id (no full checkout list fetch).
3. Shared status-color mapping and reduced duplicated dialog refresh logic.
4. Better component lifecycle usage (ngOnInit for data-loading side effects).
5. Tools page redesigned to an operations dashboard with quick checkout/check-in panel, metrics, and alerts.
6. Input and action icons migrated to custom SVG icons (mail, user, search, QR/barcode, plus, reset, edit, trash, box, eye, calendar).

Mobile

1. API calls now return explicit ApiResult/ApiResult<T> with status and error details.
2. ViewModels use consistent dialog/navigation abstraction via IUserDialogService.
3. Route strings centralized in Navigation/AppRoutes.cs.
4. Scanner flow includes request guarding to avoid duplicate/racing actions.
5. Mobile scanner check-in now uses PUT /api/checkouts/tool/{toolId}/checkin.

Local development quick start

Backend API

cd src/ToolInventory.API
dotnet run

Frontend

cd frontend/tool-inventory-app
npm ci
ng serve

Mobile (Windows target)

Security baseline

1. Vulnerability reporting process: see SECURITY.md.
2. Automated checks in CI: CodeQL, secret scanning (Gitleaks), dependency review, and SBOM generation.
3. Dependency updates: Dependabot for GitHub Actions.
4. Secret hygiene: .gitignore blocks common local secret files.
