Roadmap

This document outlines the general direction of ngCorex.

The roadmap is intentionally high-level. Priorities may evolve based on feedback, real-world usage, and stability considerations.

Current focus

The current focus of ngCorex is to strengthen the core engine.

This includes:

• token normalization
• validation correctness and determinism
• stable CSS variable generation
• clear and predictable CLI behavior
• high-quality documentation

These foundations must be solid before expanding further.

Near-term goals

In the near term, ngCorex aims to:

• refine existing validation rules
• improve diagnostic clarity and guidance
• expand documentation and examples
• harden edge cases discovered through usage
• ensure backward compatibility across minor releases

The priority is confidence and reliability, not rapid feature expansion.

Medium-term direction

Once the core is stable, ngCorex may explore:

• additional output layers
• improved configuration ergonomics
• better integration patterns for modern frontend frameworks
• more advanced token relationships and constraints

These features will be additive and opt-in.

Angular integration

ngCorex is designed to be Angular-native, but Angular integration is intentionally deferred.

Before introducing Angular-specific tooling:

• the core engine must be stable
• token workflows must be proven
• configuration and validation behavior must be predictable

Angular integration will build on the existing engine, not replace it.

What is out of scope (for now)

To maintain focus, the following are explicitly out of scope in the short term:

• runtime styling systems
• component libraries
• opinionated design presets
• visual editors

ngCorex focuses on infrastructure, not UI.

Feedback and direction

Feedback plays an important role in shaping the roadmap.

Useful feedback includes:

• real-world usage patterns
• pain points in token modeling
• validation edge cases
• DX improvements

The goal is to evolve ngCorex based on actual needs, not speculation.

A note on change

ngCorex values stability over speed.

Features will be added carefully, with clear documentation and migration guidance where needed.

The roadmap represents intent, not obligation.
