Dev Snippets: Frontend

Repository for the front-end portion of Dev Snippets. This project was generated using Angular CLI version 20.0.3.

For the accompanying backend, devSnippets Backend Repository

NOTE: To run you must currently have the backend running and frontend. I have not hosted this live yet.

Features

This is an Angular frontend for a semantic code search application where users can:

1. Upload code files/snippets
2. Search using natural language
3. View semantically similar results
4. Manage their code snippets (CRUD operations)

Tech Stack (Frontend)

• Angular 18 (latest)
• TypeScript (Angular 2+ is already written in TypeScript but for anyone non-technical, this is TypeScript)
• RxJS (async operations)
• Component-scoped CSS

Tech Stack (Backend)

devSnippets Backend

• PostgreSQL
• Python
• FastAPI (Python)
• Vector DB (Weaviate/Pinecone)

Backend-focus goals:

• SQL schema design, query tuning, and migrations in Postgres
• Explore knowledge graph + vector databases like Weaviate/Pinecone (This project will be the semantic search of this graph database)

Dev-ops Focus goals:

• Docker, Kubernetes, or ECS
• IaC (Infrastructure As Code) (Terraform, Pulumi, Cloud Build, GitHub Actions)

Development server

To start a local development server, run:

ng serve

Once the server is running, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload whenever you modify any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Angular CLI includes powerful code scaffolding tools. To generate a new component, run:

ng generate component component-name

For a complete list of available schematics (such as components, directives, or pipes), run:

ng generate --help

Building

To build the project run:

ng build

This will compile your project and store the build artifacts in the dist/ directory. By default, the production build optimizes your application for performance and speed.

Running unit tests

To execute unit tests with the Karma test runner, use the following command:

ng test

Running end-to-end tests

For end-to-end (e2e) testing, run:

ng e2e

Angular CLI does not come with an end-to-end testing framework by default. You can choose one that suits your needs.
