# Technology Refresh

The focus for the first part of 2018 is to complete the move from AngularJS to Angular. This is a significant amount of work.

## Migrate Angular from AngularJS

Move to a newer framework that is being actively developed and will carry us forward for longer. This will make future migrations much easier (Angular 2 => 4 => 5 => 6)

Note:
- Back-end stays the same (folder structure will most likely be moved around)
- Deployment and other scripts, artefacts remain the same (tweaks as necessary to build the V2 code)

Stack:

- Angular 5
- Typescript
- RxJS
- Angular Material

## Migrate to Material Design

Adopt material design while keeping essence of the current Angular 1 app:

- Use Material Design as the visual language for the UX
  - Rich language
  - Used by a growing number of projects, not just those from Google
- Adopt Material Design approach, patterns and components
- Leverage angular-material library for UI components
- Only create custom components when needed
- Adopt angular-material approach to theming
- Improve layout and use more visual cues to help locate date and issues
