Upgrade away from Angular.js to Modern Angular

Disclaimer: Understand the difficulty of the task ahead. This is a long term goal.

Angular.js is incredibly out of date, and ideally we should use a much more modern framework. I am a fan of keeping this project as angular, because even though React is the hot new things, Angular still exists in industry and learning/using something different is a good thing.

As a part of this upgrade, we basically have to rewrite almost the entire frontend code, so this project will require a effective feature freeze until completion once begun.

I will start with using this guide: https://angular.io/guide/upgrade

It may be possible to have a hybrid angular.js and angular app, which could aid in the upgrade process.

The goal is to get up to Angular 9

Inizia con la guida all’aggiornamento di Angular collegata nell’issue ed esamina il frontend esistente per mappare il codice Angular.js che dovrebbe essere riscritto. Valuta se un’applicazione ibrida Angular.js e Angular possa supportare una migrazione incrementale. Il lavoro è completato quando il frontend è stato aggiornato ad Angular 9, ma l’issue non definisce milestone intermedie né file specifici.

Scritto dal modello di indicizzazione a partire dal testo della issue.
