💡 Pro Tips

Tip 1: The component simulates uploads over 8 seconds. To connect real APIs, edit LcarsDigitalProductUploader.tsx and replace the handleUpload function.

Tip 2: All styling uses CSS custom properties from Aurora tokens. Change colors globally by editing aurora-tokens.ts.

Tip 3: The navigation is state-based, so switching between views is instant (no server calls, no page reload).

Tip 4: You can add more pages to the router by:

Creating new page component in src/app/routes/
Adding route case to AppRouter
Updating the ViewType union type
