@Component({
  selector: 'app-register-page',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [RegisterComponent],
  template: `
    <lib-register
      [variant]="'cosmic-glass'"
      (registerSuccess)="onSuccess($event)"
      (registerError)="onError($event)"
    />
  `
})
export class RegisterPage {
  constructor(private router: Router) {}

  onSuccess(user: User): void {
    console.log('User registered:', user);
    this.router.navigate(['/dashboard']);
  }

  onError(error: string): void {
    console.error('Registration failed:', error);
  }
}

Advanced Configuration

<lib-register
  [variant]="'stellar-minimal'"
  [config]="{
    requireEmail: true,
    requireUsername: true,
    minPasswordLength: 12,
    showLoginLink: true,
    termsUrl: '/legal/terms',
    privacyUrl: '/legal/privacy',
    redirectAfterRegister: '/onboarding',
    theme: 'auto'

🎨 Styling & Customization

CSS Variables

All variants use CSS variables from the theme-system for easy customization:

:root {
  // Primary colors
  --ux-primary: #667eea;
  --ux-secondary: #764ba2;
  --ux-error: #dc3545;
  --ux-success: #28a745;
  --ux-warning: #ffc107;
  
  // Surface colors
  --ux-background: #ffffff;
  --ux-surface: #f8f9fa;
  --ux-surface-variant: #e9ecef;
  
  // Text colors
  --ux-on-background: #212529;
  --ux-on-surface: #212529;
  --ux-on-surface-variant: #6c757d;
}

Custom Styling

To override styles, use the ::ng-deep selector (or global styles):

:host ::ng-deep {
  .register-card {
    max-width: 600px; // Make card wider
  }
  
  .title-gradient {
    font-size: 3rem; // Larger title
  }
  
  .submit-btn {
    padding: 1.25rem 2.5rem; // Bigger button
  }
}

Animation Control

Disable animations for users who prefer reduced motion:

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  * {
    animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
  }
}

♿ Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance

• ✅ Keyboard Navigation - Full keyboard support
• ✅ Screen Readers - Proper ARIA labels and roles
• ✅ Color Contrast - Meets WCAG AA standards
• ✅ Focus Indicators - Visible focus states
• ✅ Error Messages - Announced to screen readers
• ✅ Form Labels - Properly associated with inputs
• ✅ Loading States - aria-busy attributes

ARIA Attributes

<!-- Inputs have proper ARIA attributes -->
<input
  [attr.aria-invalid]="control?.invalid && control?.touched"
  aria-describedby="error-message"
/>

<!-- Buttons have proper labels -->
<button
  [attr.aria-busy]="isSubmitting()"
  [attr.aria-label]="'Create account'"
/>

<!-- Error messages have role="alert" -->
<p role="alert" class="error-message">
  Error text here
</p>

⚡ Performance

Optimization Techniques

1. Change Detection

   • Uses OnPush strategy
   • Signals for reactive state
   • Computed values for derived state

2. CSS Performance

   • Hardware-accelerated animations
   • will-change for animated elements
   • transform instead of top/left
   • Backdrop filter with fallbacks

3. Bundle Size

   • Standalone component (tree-shakeable)
   • No external dependencies
   • Minimal CSS footprint

4. Runtime Performance

   • Lazy validation (on touch/submit)
   • Debounced password strength check
   • Optimized re-renders

Performance Metrics

🌐 Browser Support

Supported Browsers

Fallbacks

• Backdrop Filter - Graceful degradation to solid background
• CSS Grid - Flexbox fallback
• Animations - Reduced motion support
• Gradients - Solid color fallback

🎯 Best Practices

Do's ✅

• Use the appropriate variant for your application's tone
• Provide clear error messages in the registerError handler
• Navigate to an appropriate page after successful registration
• Test with keyboard navigation
• Test with screen readers
• Provide terms and privacy URLs

Don'ts ❌

• Don't override core validation logic
• Don't remove accessibility attributes
• Don't disable animations globally (use prefers-reduced-motion)
• Don't hardcode redirect URLs (use config)
• Don't skip error handling

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Variant not applying

// ❌ Wrong
[variant]="cosmic-glass"

// ✅ Correct
[variant]="'cosmic-glass'"

Issue: Form not submitting

// Check that all required fields are valid
// Check that terms are accepted
// Check console for validation errors

Issue: Styles not loading

// Ensure theme-system is imported in global styles
@use 'libs/theme-system/theme-styles/src/lib/styles/global.scss';
