The 2018 stack (Angular 5.2 / CLI 1.7, PHP, MySQL) had not been touched since
July 2018. Rebuilt rather than upgraded in place: the frontend was 17 major
versions behind, and of ~16,700 lines of PHP only ~150 were application logic —
the rest was four near-identical vendored copies of php-crud-api plus
class.upload.php.
Backend — ASP.NET Core 10, EF Core, SQLite
* ASP.NET Core Identity (PBKDF2) + JWT bearer auth
* Clean REST API replacing php-crud-api's filter[]/transform query syntax
* Box art uploads re-encoded to WebP via SkiaSharp
* Imports the 105 games recovered from the 2018 dump on first run
Frontend — Angular 22, zoneless, signals, Material 22
* Standalone components, lazy routes, functional guards and interceptor
* Vitest replaces Karma/Jasmine; fonts and icons bundled, no CDN calls
* No provideAnimations: @angular/animations is deprecated in v22 and
Material no longer depends on it (pinned by a test)
Docker
* Multi-stage builds for both services, non-root at runtime
* nginx serves the SPA and reverse-proxies the API, so everything is
same-origin; one volume holds the database, uploads and DP keys
Security issues in the old code, not carried across:
* Two endpoints exposed unauthenticated CRUD over every table
* The client chose whose rows to read (filter[]=userId,eq,N); ownership now
comes from the JWT subject server-side
* Login was hardcoded to a single username
* crypt() with one global salt, silently truncating passwords to 8 chars
* JWT secret was the literal string "testing", tokens never expired
* Token travelled in the query string rather than a header
* Uploads were anonymous with the path built from the client filename
* Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
The live MySQL password committed in 2018 remains in git history and must be
rotated independently of this change.

LudosWeb
This project was generated using Angular CLI version 22.1.2.
Development server
To start a local development server, run:
ng serve
Once the server is running, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload whenever you modify any of the source files.
Code scaffolding
Angular CLI includes powerful code scaffolding tools. To generate a new component, run:
ng generate component component-name
For a complete list of available schematics (such as components, directives, or pipes), run:
ng generate --help
Building
To build the project run:
ng build
This will compile your project and store the build artifacts in the dist/ directory. By default, the production build optimizes your application for performance and speed.
Running unit tests
To execute unit tests with the Vitest test runner, use the following command:
ng test
Running end-to-end tests
For end-to-end (e2e) testing, run:
ng e2e
Angular CLI does not come with an end-to-end testing framework by default. You can choose one that suits your needs.
