Absolutely, Neeraj. Let’s break this down **step by step** so that you understand the **Bell Canada project**, **how it’s structured**, **what a repo/bundle means**, and **how to handle bug tickets or work** confidently — even if it feels overwhelming at first.

—

### ✅ 1. **What Kind of Project is This?**
This is a **large-scale enterprise application for Bell Canada**, structured as a **micro frontend monorepo** using React.

– **Domain**: Telecom services – you’re working on “My Account” section (e.g., Internet Overview, Mobility, Billing, etc.)
– **Frontend**: React (might use Webpack or Vite), TypeScript in some bundles
– **Structure**: Modular, where each business domain (like Internet, Mobility, Billing) has its own frontend "bundle" (like a mini app) that plugs into the main app.

—

### ✅ 2. **What is a Bundle?**
In your project:

> A **bundle** is a self-contained React micro-app for a specific feature.

Example:

myaccount-internet-overview (parent)
└── myaccount-landing-internet-overview (child)
    └── myaccount-landing-common (shared utilities/components)

– Each bundle has its **own folder**, **package.json**, **src**, and possibly **routes and components**.
– It can be developed and tested **independently**, then plugged into the main project.

—

### ✅ 3. **What is a Repo? Is This a Monorepo?**
Yes — this **is a Monorepo**.

– A **monorepo** contains **multiple related projects** (bundles) in **one single Git repository**.
– It uses tools like `linklocal` or `npm workspaces` to **link child bundles to parents**.
– You’ll usually work in one repo, but handle different "bundles" inside it.

🟡 **Repo = a Git repository** (can be the whole monorepo, or a child repo if separate).

—

### ✅ 4. **How Do I Identify My Assigned Repo or Bundle?**
When you're assigned a **Jira ticket**, look for:

– **Bundle Name**: e.g. `myaccount-internet-overview`
– **File Path Mentioned**: e.g. `/packages/myaccount-internet-overview/src/pages/PlanDetails.jsx`
– **Component/Feature**: e.g. “Update Data Usage Card in Internet Overview”

Once you get the bundle name:

cd D:/bell-canada/myaccount-internet-overview
code .

Open it in VS Code and start exploring.

—

### ✅ 5. **How to Debug / Solve a Bug Ticket?**
Here’s a practical step-by-step approach:

#### 🛠️ Step 1: Understand the Ticket
– What is the bug or feature?
– Is it a **UI issue**, **API bug**, or **state/logic problem**?

#### 🧭 Step 2: Identify the Relevant Bundle
– Look at **Jira ticket**, **file paths**, or ask teammates if not clear.
– Example: Internet plan card not updating → go to `myaccount-internet-overview`.

#### 🔍 Step 3: Reproduce the Issue
– Run the bundle locally:

cd D:/bell-canada/myaccount-internet-overview
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npm run dev

– Open the browser and go to the page described.
– Use browser DevTools (`F12`) to inspect console errors or network requests.

#### 🔎 Step 4: Trace the Code
– Use **Ctrl + Shift + F** (global search) in VS Code to find variables or functions.
– Look at:
– `components/`
– `pages/`
– `store/` (if there's Redux or Zustand)
– `services/` for API calls

#### 🧪 Step 5: Debug
– Use `console.log()` or breakpoints in DevTools.
– Try to isolate what’s not working (wrong data? broken UI? failed API?).

#### 🛠️ Step 6: Fix & Test
– Make code changes.
– Test locally.
– Run `npm run lint` and `npm run test` if needed.
– Commit and push.

### ✅ 6. **How Will You Get Better at This?**

#### 👣 Follow This Learning Path:
| Step | Action |
|——|——–|
| 1. | **Spend time in your assigned bundle** daily, click through components and console.log values |
| 2. | **Keep asking small questions** to your team – it’s totally okay to ask 3 clear lines, no one minds |
| 3. | **Learn React better** – use [react.dev/learn](https://react.dev/learn) side-by-side while exploring |
| 4. | **Keep a personal doc** of common terms, bundles, issues solved, etc. (quick access) |
| 5. | **Clone one working bundle locally** and break it on purpose → fix → repeat (best practice learning) |

—

### ✅ Example: Say Your Ticket is:
> "Fix data not showing in Plan Card on Internet Overview"

You would:
1. Open: `D:/bell-canada/myaccount-internet-overview/src/components/PlanCard.jsx`
2. Find where the data comes from (maybe from `props` or `store`)
3. Check the API/service file
4. Log the response and see what’s missing
5. Fix or patch logic
6. Push changes

—

### 🧘 Final Tip: You’re Not Alone
Even seniors ask each other “Which bundle is it?”, “How to run this?”, “Is this data mocked?”. Don’t feel lost — **you’re in a learning zone, not a failing zone**.

Would you like me to give you a **template cheat sheet** for:
– Standup answer formats
– Bug solving checklist
– Common file locations in bundles?

Just say so — I’ll prepare it for you.

Give me more clarity on the project, they bell.ca , vrigin , lucky

Assistant

Great question. Let's give you **crystal-clear clarity** on the Bell project you're working on, including **Bell.ca, Virgin Mobile, and Lucky Mobile**. Here's a full breakdown to understand what these brands are, how the project is structured, and how your work fits into it:

—

## 🧠 **High-Level Overview of the Project**

Bell Canada owns **three telecom brands**:
1. **Bell.ca** – the main brand (premium, full-service)
2. **Virgin Plus** (formerly Virgin Mobile) – mid-tier brand
3. **Lucky Mobile** – budget prepaid brand

All three are **different brands** but share **similar backend systems**, **design patterns**, and **technical foundations** — meaning:

### ✅ The goal of the dev team is to:
> Build and maintain **React-based micro frontends** for MyAccount portals for **Bell**, **Virgin**, and **Lucky** — using a **shared monorepo** and **bundled architecture**.

—

## 🏗️ **How the Project is Structured Technically**

### 🧩 1. **Monorepo** (single Git repo, multiple bundles)

– All frontend code is inside one **monorepo** (probably under `bell-canada/` directory).
– This repo contains **bundles** (micro frontends) for different brands and features.

#### Example bundle structure:

bell-canada/
├── myaccount-landing-common/                ← shared utilities
├── myaccount-landing-internet-overview/     ← Internet tab UI
├── myaccount-landing-mobility-overview/     ← Mobile tab UI
├── myaccount-landing-billing/               ← Billing UI
├── myaccount-virgin-landing-internet/       ← Virgin-specific bundle
├── myaccount-lucky-landing-overview/        ← Lucky-specific bundle
├── myaccount-shared-utilities/              ← Reusable UI logic
└── ...

Each of these is a **separate bundle**, and your ticket will usually tell you which one you're working on.

—

## 🎯 **What You Actually Work On**
As a developer on this project, you:
– Work on individual **bundles** inside the monorepo.
– Are given a **Jira ticket** that relates to one specific brand + feature (e.g., Virgin internet usage not showing).
– Use `linklocal` or `npm install` to connect bundles together.
– Debug, build, and test only that bundle locally (not the entire monorepo at once).
– Raise PRs that go through QA and staging before production.

—

### 👇 Key Insight:
> The **UI/UX and bundle names change per brand**, but the **core logic, APIs, and business rules** are **mostly shared**.

So fixing a bug in one brand might apply to all three – but you'll often need to test it across all brands before shipping.

—

## 🔍 Examples of Common Bundles

Each of these:
– Has its own `package.json`, `src`, `pages/`, `components/`, and sometimes `routes.ts` or `store/`.
– Can be started locally with `npm run dev` inside that folder.
– Uses React and possibly Redux or Zustand.

—

## 🐞 Example Bug Ticket Flow

Say you’re assigned this Jira ticket:

> “Lucky: Fix mobile usage widget not refreshing on tab switch.”

Steps:
1. Go to: `myaccount-lucky-landing-overview`
2. Find component: `UsageWidget.jsx` or `UsageTab.tsx`
3. Run the bundle:

cd myaccount-lucky-landing-overview
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npm run dev

4. Reproduce bug in browser
5. Debug logic (maybe it doesn’t re-fetch on tab change)
6. Fix and test it
7. Raise PR

## 💡 Final Advice: How Will You “Get” Things?

Here's your **daily learning strategy** to go from confused ➝ confident:

### 🧭 Step-by-step Plan:
1. **Start every day** by opening your current bundle (or a test one) in VS Code.
2. Use `console.log` to explore components, props, and state.
3. Follow a bug/feature ticket from start to end – break it, then fix it.
4. Ask your team clear questions like:
– “Is this bundle the right one for XYZ ticket?”
– “Where’s the data source for this component?”
5. Create a **personal doc**:
– Bundle names + their brand
– Reusable utilities
– Component examples

they have one more kink of site

Assistant

Yes — great observation. Besides **MyAccount portals**, **Bell Canada** typically operates **multiple kinds of websites** (each with different purpose, teams, and sometimes different tech stacks). Here's a complete breakdown to help you understand:

—

## 🔍 Types of Sites Bell Canada Has

### 1. 🔑 **MyAccount Portal (Self-Service)**
This is the one **you're working on**.

> 🔧 You usually work in `myaccount-*` bundles for this.

—

### 2. 🛍️ **E-commerce / Marketing Site**
This is the **main bell.ca / virgin.ca / luckymobile.ca** — meant for **new visitors**, **plans**, **offers**, and **online signups**.

> 🧠 You probably **don't work on this** unless you're told explicitly. Different repo/team.

—

### 3. 📱 **Mobile App**
They also have **mobile apps** (iOS & Android) for each brand.

—

### 4. 🎓 **Support & Help Center**
Sites like `support.bell.ca` or `support.virginplus.ca` that give help articles.

—

### 5. 🎛️ **Internal Tools (Agent portals, Ops dashboards)**
These are **internal dashboards** for Bell/Virgin employees.

—

## 🎯 Summary Table

—

## 💬 So if someone says:
> “This is not on the MyAccount site, it’s a marketing issue.”

✅ That means it’s likely on `www.bell.ca`, not your repo.

—
