Tasked with reviving an old Angular client in my company, I found myself grappling with outdated files and missing configurations. The lack of package.json, package-lock.json, and angular.json added to the confusion, while the presence of node modules in the git repository left me scratching my head.
As I delved deeper into the project, it became clear that rebuilding it after making changes was going to be a challenge. Additionally, I wanted to clean up the git repository by removing the node modules directory and introducing a package.json file instead.
To make matters worse, none of the original team members who worked on this project are still around, leaving me feeling stranded in this mess. With the backend in asp.net framework and containing .cshtml files, I suspect there is a connection between the client and server that needs unraveling.
If anyone has experience or guidance on rescuing a neglected project like this, your help would be greatly appreciated.
