# Import Rules and Format [FDP-Dev-import]

## Overview
This document outlines the standard import rules and formatting for FDP projects.

## Import Order
1. Angular Core imports (@angular/*)
2. External imports (packages)
3. FDP imports (@futdevpro/*)
4. Shared imports (from shared modules)
5. Internal imports (local)

## Format Example
```typescript
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material/dialog';

import { DyFM_Log } from '@futdevpro/fsm-dynamo';
import { FDP_User } from '@futdevpro/fdp-templates';

import { SharedModule } from '../../_modules/shared/shared.module';

import { FirstModule } from '../first/first.module';
import { SecondModule } from './second.module';
```

## Rules
1. Use spaces between import groups
2. Use relative imports within the application
3. Group imports by their source/type
4. Order internal imports by relative path distance (bottom-up)
5. Keep imports clean and organized
6. Remove unused imports

## Best Practices
- Use explicit imports rather than wildcards
- Keep imports alphabetically sorted within their groups
- Use relative paths for internal imports
- Use absolute paths for package imports
- Remove any duplicate imports
