Loan Calculator Web Application

This is a web application developed using Angular that allows users to calculate loan payments with simple interest. It provides an intuitive user interface for inputting loan details and displays the calculated results along with a graphical representation.

Features

Input loan amount, interest rate, and loan term.
Display the calculated loan details, including the total amount to be paid and the interest to be paid.
Visualize the loan details using a bar graph.
Responsive design for various screen sizes.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

Node.js: Make sure you have Node.js installed on your system.
Angular CLI: You need the Angular CLI to run and build the project. You can install it using npm.

Installation

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/ricardorocker/loan-calculator.git

Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd loan-calculator-app
```
Install the project dependencies:
```
npm install
```

Usage

Start the JSON server to simulate a backend:
```
npm run start-json-server
```
Start the development server:
```
ng serve
```
Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:4200/ to access the loan calculator application.
Use the application to input loan details, select a loan type, and click the "Simular" button to calculate the loan payments.

Development

The application's source code is organized into components, services, and styles. Here is an overview of the project structure:

Components: The application has the following components:
- app-home: Represents the home page.
- app-loan-calculator: Contains the loan calculation form and results.
- app-navbar: The navigation bar component.
- app-footer: The footer component.
- app-graph-bar: A reusable component for displaying bar graphs.
Services: The LoanCalculatorService handles loan simulations and communicates with the backend API (not included in this project).
Styles: The application uses SCSS for styling, and styles are organized in separate component-specific CSS/SCSS files.
Models: The Graph model defines the structure of data for the bar graph.

Customization

You can customize the application by modifying the styles in the SCSS files, changing the loan types in the LoanCalculatorComponent, or adding additional features.

Deployment

To deploy the application, you can build it using the following command:

ng build --prod

The built application will be located in the dist folder and can be hosted on any web server of your choice.
