Update angular to V18 and other updates

[simonljus]

Cool project!
Found this repository while browsing Reddit and saw that the project was open source.

The latest Angular version is at this time when creating this PR at v18 so I gave it a try to update the entire project.

Starting from Angular V9 to V18, updating one version at a time by following the Angular Update Guide

Major changes:

• Angular V9 -> 18
• TSLint -> Eslint
• Yarn -> NPM. I could not get the Angular migrations to work properly and some issues when creating the docker image.
• Tech debt: Migrate Angular flex layout -> css-fx-layout
• Removed Webpack and Webpack Plugins (using vite now??)
• Removed unused Dependencies
• Removed Google Analytics
• Updated Dockerfile
• ChartJS V2 -> V4
• Updated other packages
• Stricter Type Checking (mostly null checks)

WOW! That's an huge amount of work you've put here 🤯

Very funny to see this project getting some view on /r/beadsprites when I already tried to promote it there in the past 😆

Anyway, thanks again, it will take time for me to review everything, especially since I don't really invest that much into the project (small PRs would have been better, but I won't complain considering all the work you've done!)

I'll keep you updated!

I guess the only controversial change is removing GA. Any rationale?

I got some errors in the environment.ts file and I was also thinking if the solution was GDPR compliant.

I just took a look at some up to date guides to understand how it could be implemented in Angular

One of many guides:

Info about how to make it possible for the user to allow or deny tracking:

I think adding it back could be a new PR
