Trackbite

This repository contains a habit and nutrition tracking application built with Angular and .NET 7. The goal is to provide users with a simple dashboard where they can track personal habits and manage daily nutritional intake.

Objective

The purpose of this project is to solidify my full-stack development skills by building a real-world application from scratch, applying best practices with Angular for the frontend and ASP.NET Core for the backend.

Current Focus: Habit Management

At the current stage, the application focuses on:

• ✅ Habit Tracking – Create, read, update, and delete habits.
• 🔄 Integration – Connect Angular frontend with .NET API.
• ⚙️ REST API – Secure and scalable backend using Entity Framework and PostgreSQL.
• 🔧 Development Workflow – Following industry standards (layered architecture, services, modular frontend, meaningful commits).

Technologies Used

Frontend

• Angular 17
• TypeScript
• RxJS
• Angular Standalone Components

Backend

• ASP.NET Core Web API (.NET 7)
• Entity Framework Core
• PostgreSQL
• CORS configuration
• RESTful design

Tools

• Visual Studio
• VS Code
• Postman
