Service Purpose

The Routing service helps guide users to the right starting page. If someone tries to access the site without a specific path, or just with an empty path (""), they are taken to the root path ("/"). From there, they are automatically directed to the home page ("/home"). This makes sure everyone starts from the same place, making it easier to use the site.

Service Outcomes and Interactions

Expected Outcome:

1. Users entering the site with an empty route ("") are automatically redirected to the main page ("/").

2. Users who reach the main page ("/") are further redirected to the home page ("/home").

Interactions:

Inputs:
route: String that indicates the current path or route in the application.

Outputs:
The component reacts by redirecting users based on the provided route:

•  If the route is an empty string (""), users are redirected to the main page ("/").
  

•  If the route is the main page ("/"), users are redirected to the home page ("/home").
  

Service Migration Plan

Migration Steps:

1. Analyze the Old Service:
   • Run the current program to see how it works and what important parts it has.
2. Disconnect the Old Service:
   • Remove the line that includes src/app/config/routing/routing from the program files.
   • Take out the routing settings from the config.coffee file.
3. Add Routing to an Existing File:
   • Add the routing settings to a TypeScript file that already handles routing. This helps keep everything in one place.
4. Set Up the New Routing:
   • Update the TypeScript file with the new routes.
   • Make sure this file is connected properly to work with the rest of the program.
5. Test Everything:
   • Check that the new setup works just like the old one by running the same tests.
   • Fix any problems that come up during testing.

Component Review Checklist: Routing

1. Correct Redirection Handling:

• Ensures that users are redirected to the root page ("/") when accessing with an empty route ("").
  Example : User input - http://localhost:4200
• Verifies that users accessing the root page ("/") are redirected to the home page ("/home").
  Example : User input - http://localhost:4200/

2. Visibility of Changes:
   After redirection, the new page or expected content is visible and functional, confirming that the routing logic is implemented correctly.
