Project description

The project involved building a School Management System, a web-based application developed using Angular and integrated with RESTful APIs to enhance the digital administration of academic institutions. Designed with a modular architecture, the system leverages Angular’s component-based structure and lazy loading via routing modules for improved performance and maintainability. It supports key functionalities such as student enrollment, class and subject management etc all through an intuitive UI that simplifies everyday school operations.

Timeline

The project was executed over 2 weeks, encompassing phases of design, development, and iterative testing to ensure a polished, user-centric solution.

Background

This project was inspired by my journey learning Angular and exploring how to integrate RESTful APIs into dynamic, real-world applications. As I deepened my understanding of component-based architecture and modular design, I wanted to apply those skills to a context I care about: education. Having seen how disjointed and manual school systems can be, I built this School Management System to explore how technology can simplify and improve core academic operations. The goal was to create a scalable, maintainable solution that not only demonstrated technical ability but also aligned with my interest in building tools that make a practical difference in sectors like education.

Process

This category details the step-by-step approach taken during the project, including research, planning, design, development, testing, and optimization phases.

Research & Planning

I outlined the core features required for a functional school management system: managing students, classes, subjects, and results. I studied real-world school workflows and reviewed how existing systems approached navigation, user roles, and CRUD operations. My goal was to create a clean, modular Angular application that integrated RESTful APIs effectively and offered a smooth user experience. I also explored tools like Swagger UI to understand and plan API consumption in alignment with backend services.

Design & Prototyping

The design focused on creating a clean, responsive UI with the dashboard as the central point of interaction. Using Angular Material, I prototyped a layout that highlights key metrics like assignments, grades, and subject progress through visual cards and progress indicators. The sidebar navigation allows users to switch seamlessly between modules, while the dashboard integrates a calendar and course overview to provide a quick snapshot of academic performance. The modular design ensured reusability and made it easier to scale or modify components as the app evolved.

Implementation

The app uses a modular Angular architecture, with auth, features, and layouts as standalone modules, each with its own routing to enable lazy loading via app-routing.module.ts. The shared module centralizes Angular Material imports for UI consistency, while the core folder handles all global services. Routes are configured to load modules dynamically, improving performance and scalability.

Testing & Optimization

I tested the application manually throughout development, focusing on functionality, API connectivity, and layout consistency across modules. Chrome DevTools was used to optimize UI responsiveness and debug component behavior. I also checked API integration against Swagger definitions to ensure data integrity and correct routing behavior.

To improve performance, I used lazy loading and minimized redundant imports across modules. As a final step, I refactored shared components and removed duplicate logic to make the codebase cleaner and more scalable for future enhancements.
