fix: resolve Angular strictTemplates errors with proper TypeScript typing
Summary
This PR resolves all Angular strictTemplates: true
compilation errors that were preventing the application from building. The changes involve systematic TypeScript type improvements across multiple components, with a focus on proper type annotations, form control typing, and template property access.
Key Changes:
- Fixed property access on
unknown
types using proper type casting and interface definitions - Updated form control typing from
any[]
to proper interfaces (JobType
,AppointmentType
,EngineerDoc
) - Converted patches component to use Observable pattern for consistency with child components
- Fixed boolean attribute binding in template forms
- Resolved CDK drag-and-drop and directive input type mismatches
Review & Testing Checklist for Human
🔴 High Priority (3 items):
- Test patches management functionality thoroughly - The
allPatches
property was converted fromPatchModel[]
toObservable<PatchModel[]>
using BehaviorSubject. Verify patch creation, editing, deletion, and drag-and-drop still work correctly. - Verify engineer selection and listing workflows - Changed
User
type toEngineerDoc
type in engineer selection. Test engineer filtering, selection, and assignment processes. - Test form submissions and validation - Form control types were updated across multiple components. Verify appointment booking, debt editing, and contractual forms still validate and submit correctly.
Recommended Test Plan:
- Navigate to Today Filters and test job type/appointment type filtering
- Go to Engineers section and test engineer selection and qualification display
- Test Patches functionality (create, edit, delete, drag-and-drop)
- Test appointment booking and form validation
- Verify capacity template downloads work correctly

Notes
- Type Safety Approach: Used
$any()
casting in templates where complex nested property access was causing strictTemplates errors. While this resolves compilation issues, these locations should be monitored for potential runtime errors. - Observable Pattern: The patches component now follows the same Observable pattern as its child components, improving architectural consistency.
- Backward Compatibility: All changes maintain existing API contracts while adding proper TypeScript typing.
