Angular API Service Development Workflow

Use when creating/modifying API services extending PlatformApiService for backend communication.

Decision Tree

What kind of API service?
├── Standard CRUD            → extend PlatformApiService + get/post/put/deleteRequest
├── With caching             → + enableCache option in get() calls
├── File upload/download     → + postFormData() / getBlob()
├── External API             → + override getDefaultHeaders()
├── Search/autocomplete      → + debounce in component, cache short-lived
└── Validation endpoint      → return Observable<boolean>
