# NowChess Frontend

Angular 20 frontend for the NowChess board UI.

## Tech stack

- Angular standalone components and route-based pages
- HTTP and streaming integration for live game updates
- Asset sprites loaded from `arabian-chess/`

## Project structure

- `src/app/pages` page-level containers (`welcome`, `game`)
- `src/app/components` reusable UI pieces (`chess-board`, `chess-piece`)
- `src/app/services` API and stream integration (`GameApiService`)
- `src/app/models` shared API/domain types
- `src/app/core/chess` chess domain utilities (FEN parsing and square lookup)
- `src/environments` environment-specific API base URLs

## Run locally

```bash
npm install
npm start
```

Open `http://localhost:4200`.

Development environment defaults to:

- API: `http://localhost:8080`
- WebSocket: `ws://localhost:8080`

`src/environments/environment.ts` is production-oriented (`production: true`) and `src/environments/environment.development.ts` is development-oriented (`production: false`).

## Build and test

```bash
npm run build
npm test
```
