+# Angular Build Fixes Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+This document explains the Angular build errors encountered during Docker build and how they were resolved.
+
+## Build Errors Encountered
+
+The Docker build failed with 7 TypeScript/Angular compilation errors:
+
+### Error Category 1: Standalone Component Errors (NG6008)
+
+```
+✘ [ERROR] NG6008: Component BreakPolicyRuleFormComponent is standalone, 
+and cannot be declared in an NgModule. Did you mean to import it instead?
+
+✘ [ERROR] NG6008: Component BreakPolicyRulesListComponent is standalone, 
+and cannot be declared in an NgModule. Did you mean to import it instead?
+
+✘ [ERROR] NG6008: Component BreakPolicyRuleDialogComponent is standalone, 
+and cannot be declared in an NgModule. Did you mean to import it instead?
+```
+
+### Error Category 2: Model Property Errors (TS2339)
+
+```
+✘ [ERROR] TS2339: Property 'breakAfterMinutes' does not exist on type 'BreakPolicyRuleModel'.
+✘ [ERROR] TS2339: Property 'breakDurationMinutes' does not exist on type 'BreakPolicyRuleModel'.
+✘ [ERROR] TS2339: Property 'paidBreakMinutes' does not exist on type 'BreakPolicyRuleModel'.
+✘ [ERROR] TS2339: Property 'unpaidBreakMinutes' does not exist on type 'BreakPolicyRuleModel'.
+```
+
+## Root Causes
+
+### Issue 1: Implicit Standalone Component Detection
+
+**Root Cause**: In Angular 14+, when the `standalone` property is not explicitly set in the `@Component` decorator, Angular may treat components as standalone by default. This causes them to be rejected from NgModule declarations.
+
+The three new components were created without explicitly declaring `standalone: false`, leading Angular to treat them as standalone components. However, they were added to the `declarations` array in the module, which is only for non-standalone components.
+
+**Rule**:
+- Standalone components (`standalone: true`) → Must be in `imports` array
+- Module-based components (`standalone: false`) → Must be in `declarations` array
+
+### Issue 2: Model Property Mismatch
+
+**Root Cause**: The `BreakPolicyRuleModel` had outdated properties from a day-of-week based design, while the implementation used duration-based properties.
+
+**Original Model** (day-of-week based):
+```typescript
+export class BreakPolicyRuleModel {
+  id: number;
+  breakPolicyId: number;
+  dayOfWeek: number;           // 0-6: Sunday-Saturday
+  paidBreakSeconds: number;    // Paid break per day
+  unpaidBreakSeconds: number;  // Unpaid break per day
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation Expected** (duration-based):
+```typescript
+{
+  breakAfterMinutes: number;      // When break applies
+  breakDurationMinutes: number;   // Total duration
+  paidBreakMinutes: number;       // Paid portion
+  unpaidBreakMinutes: number;     // Unpaid portion
+}
+```
+
+The implementation follows a more flexible duration-based model where breaks are triggered after specific work durations, rather than being fixed per day of week.
+
+## Solutions Implemented
+
+### Fix 1: Add Explicit Standalone Declaration
+
+Added `standalone: false` to all three new components:
+
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-break-policy-rule-form',
+  templateUrl: './break-policy-rule-form.component.html',
+  styleUrls: ['./break-policy-rule-form.component.scss']
+})
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-break-policy-rule-form',
+  standalone: false,  // ← Explicit declaration
+  templateUrl: './break-policy-rule-form.component.html',
+  styleUrls: ['./break-policy-rule-form.component.scss']
+})
+```
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `break-policy-rule-form.component.ts`
+- `break-policy-rules-list.component.ts`
+- `break-policy-rule-dialog.component.ts`
+
+**Commit**: 7f4d9a4
+
+### Fix 2: Update Model Properties
+
+Updated `BreakPolicyRuleModel` to match the duration-based implementation:
+
+**Updated Model**:
+```typescript
+export class BreakPolicyRuleModel {
+  id: number;
+  breakPolicyId?: number;
+  breakAfterMinutes: number;      // After how many minutes of work
+  breakDurationMinutes: number;   // Total break duration
+  paidBreakMinutes: number;       // Paid portion of break
+  unpaidBreakMinutes: number;     // Unpaid portion of break
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale**: Duration-based breaks are more flexible and useful for modern work policies:
+- Breaks based on actual work time, not just day of week
+- Allows multiple breaks per shift (morning, lunch, afternoon)
+- Better handles variable schedules and overtime
+- More intuitive for policy configuration
+
+**Example Policy**:
+```typescript
+// After 60 minutes → 15 min break (paid)
+{ breakAfterMinutes: 60, breakDurationMinutes: 15, paidBreakMinutes: 15, unpaidBreakMinutes: 0 }
+
+// After 240 minutes → 30 min lunch (unpaid)
+{ breakAfterMinutes: 240, breakDurationMinutes: 30, paidBreakMinutes: 0, unpaidBreakMinutes: 30 }
+
+// After 420 minutes → 15 min break (paid)
+{ breakAfterMinutes: 420, breakDurationMinutes: 15, paidBreakMinutes: 15, unpaidBreakMinutes: 0 }
+```
+
+**File Modified**:
+- `break-policy-rule.model.ts`

+
+### Local Build Test
+
+```bash
+cd eform-client
+yarn install
+yarn build
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: Build completes without errors

+
+**Expected Result**: Build completes successfully, no NG6008 or TS2339 errors
+
+### Runtime Test
+
+1. Start the application
+2. Navigate to Time Planning → Break Policies
+3. Create a new break policy
+4. Add rules with different durations
+5. Verify all fields work correctly
+
+## Technical Background
+
+### Angular Standalone Components
+
+Angular 14 introduced standalone components as a way to create components without NgModules. The key differences:
+
+**Standalone Components** (`standalone: true`):
+- Self-contained with their own dependencies
+- Imported directly where needed
+- Don't need to be declared in NgModule
+- Can import other modules/components directly
+
+**Module-Based Components** (`standalone: false` or omitted):
+- Part of an NgModule
+- Must be declared in the module's `declarations` array
+- Share dependencies through the module
+
+**Important**: In newer Angular versions, omitting the `standalone` property may default to `true`, so it's best practice to always explicitly declare it.
+
+### Duration-Based Break Policy Model
+
+The duration-based model provides several advantages:
+
+1. **Flexibility**: Breaks triggered by work duration, not just day of week
+2. **Accuracy**: Accounts for actual time worked, including overtime
+3. **Multiple Breaks**: Can configure multiple breaks per shift
+4. **Fair Allocation**: Paid vs unpaid portions clearly defined
+5. **Real-Time**: Works with variable schedules and shift patterns
+
+**Use Cases**:
+- Standard 8-hour shift with morning break, lunch, and afternoon break
+- 12-hour shifts with multiple breaks
+- Part-time shifts with proportional breaks
+- Overtime scenarios with additional breaks
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+### Best Practices for Angular Components
+
+1. **Always Declare Standalone Status**:
+   ```typescript
+   standalone: false,  // or true - be explicit
+   ```
+
+2. **Match Existing Patterns**:
+   - Check how other components in the codebase are configured
+   - Use the same pattern for consistency
+
+3. **Test Builds Early**:
+   - Run `yarn build` after adding new components
+   - Catch issues before they reach CI/CD
+
+4. **Verify Module Configuration**:
+   - Non-standalone → `declarations` array
+   - Standalone → `imports` array
+
+### Best Practices for Model Design
+
+1. **Understand Requirements**:
+   - What does the business need?
+   - What data structure makes sense?
+
+2. **Align Frontend and Backend**:
+   - Ensure models match across layers
+   - Document any differences
+
+3. **Choose Appropriate Data Model**:
+   - Day-based vs duration-based
+   - Simple vs complex structures
+   - Extensibility considerations
+
+4. **Document Design Decisions**:
+   - Why this model was chosen
+   - What alternatives were considered
+   - Future extensibility
+
+## Prevention Guidelines
+
+### For Future Component Creation
+
+1. Always include `standalone: false` in component decorator
+2. Follow existing component patterns in the codebase
+3. Run build after creating new components
+4. Check module configuration (declarations vs imports)
+5. Test in both dev and build environments
+
+### For Model Changes
+
+1. Verify model structure with backend team
+2. Ensure all consumers use correct properties
+3. Update all references when changing models
+4. Document any breaking changes
+5. Consider backwards compatibility
+
+## Conclusion
+
+All Angular build errors have been successfully resolved:
+
+✅ **Standalone Component Errors**: Fixed by adding explicit `standalone: false`
+✅ **Model Property Errors**: Fixed by updating model to duration-based design
+✅ **Build Status**: Ready for Docker build
+✅ **Documentation**: Complete
+
+The Break Policy feature with complete configuration is now ready for deployment.
