Prompt Title: AngularDart - Split or Boolean Input?

Deciding whether to split a component into two or add a boolean @Input() in an AngularDart application often depends on a few factors such as readability, reusability, maintainability, and performance. Here are some considerations that could guide your decision:

1. Responsibility Principle: Does splitting the component lead to each part having a single, clear responsibility? If a component is doing too many things, it might be better to split it into several smaller ones. This is in line with the Single Responsibility Principle.

2. Reusability: If the two versions of the component you are considering would be used in different contexts, splitting them may increase the reusability of each component.

3. Complexity: If adding a boolean @Input() leads to complex conditional logic in the component, it might be better to split it into two. This can make the code easier to read and maintain.

4. Performance: If the parts of the component conditionally rendered by the boolean @Input() are heavy in terms of resource usage (e.g., computation, data fetching), splitting the component can potentially improve performance because Angular can skip checking the parts that are not in use. However, this consideration often only applies to large, complex components and not smaller, simpler ones.

There aren't specific metrics to definitively decide this, but you can consider factors like:

• Code Lines: If the component is becoming too long and difficult to navigate, it might be better to split it.

• Cyclomatic Complexity: This is a measure of the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code. If adding the boolean @Input() significantly increases the cyclomatic complexity, it could be a sign that the component should be split.

• Number of @Inputs and @Outputs: If a component has too many @Inputs and @Outputs, it can be a sign that it's doing too much and should be broken down.

In the end, you'll need to balance these factors to make your decision. Good software architecture often requires these sorts of trade-offs. It can be helpful to discuss these considerations with your team or other developers for their insights and perspectives.
