Implementation Steps

Step 2.1: Create Basic Widget Types

File: libs/libs-structural/widget-builder/src/lib/models/basic-widget.types.ts

/**
 * Basic Widget Type Definitions
 * These are the atomic widgets managed by GoGrab team
 */

export type BasicWidgetType =
  // Forms
  | 'input'
  | 'select'
  | 'checkbox'
  | 'radio'
  | 'button'
  // Content
  | 'text'
  | 'image'
  | 'icon'
  // Layout
  | 'container'
  | 'card'
  | 'divider'
  | 'spacer'
  | 'link';

export type WidgetCategory = 'form' | 'content' | 'layout';

export interface BasicWidget {
  // Identity
  type: BasicWidgetType;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  icon: string;
  category: WidgetCategory;
  
  // Configuration
  defaultConfig: Record<string, any>;
  availableProperties: WidgetProperty[];
  
  // Variants
  builtInVariants: WidgetVariant[];
  
  // Metadata
  version: string;
  author: 'gograb-team';
  isBasic: true;
  isEditable: false;
  canCreateVariants: true;
  
  // Technical
  componentPath: string;
  tags: string[];
}

export interface WidgetProperty {
  name: string;
  type: 'string' | 'number' | 'boolean' | 'color' | 'select' | 'object';
  label: string;
  description?: string;
  required?: boolean;
  default?: any;
  options?: Array<{ label: string; value: any }>;
  validation?: {
    min?: number;
    max?: number;
    pattern?: string;
    message?: string;
  };
}

export interface WidgetVariant {
  id: string;
  baseWidget: BasicWidgetType;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  author: 'gograb-team' | string;
  universeId?: string;
  isPublic: boolean;
  config: Record<string, any>;
  preview?: string;
  createdAt?: Date;
  updatedAt?: Date;
}

Step 2.2: Create Basic Widget Registry Service

File: libs/libs-structural/widget-builder/src/lib/services/basic-widget-registry.service.ts

import { Injectable, signal, computed } from '@angular/core';
import { BasicWidget, BasicWidgetType } from '../models/basic-widget.types';

/**
 * Basic Widget Registry
 * 
 * Central registry of all basic widgets provided by GoGrab team.
 * These are the atomic building blocks that cannot be created by users.
 */
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class BasicWidgetRegistryService {
  // State
  private readonly _widgets = signal<BasicWidget[]>([]);
  private readonly _isLoaded = signal(false);
  
  // Computed
  readonly widgets = this._widgets.asReadonly();
  readonly isLoaded = this._isLoaded.asReadonly();
  readonly widgetCount = computed(() => this._widgets().length);
  
  // Grouped by category
  readonly formWidgets = computed(() => 
    this._widgets().filter(w => w.category === 'form')
  );
  readonly contentWidgets = computed(() => 
    this._widgets().filter(w => w.category === 'content')
  );
  readonly layoutWidgets = computed(() => 
    this._widgets().filter(w => w.category === 'layout')
  );
  
  constructor() {
    this.loadBasicWidgets();
  }

   * Load all basic widgets
   * In production, this would load from storage-system
   */
