This PR increases the Angular version of the code base to Angular 18, while upgrading the packages that needed to be updated along the way. One package called ng2_smart_table no longer is supported and so this code also removes the dependency of that package and replaces it with the supported Angular Material suite of tools. This includes a "smart table" design that I've modified with CSS to look fairly close to the previous design.
To test, you will want to increase your NPM to >= v18.19.0 and you may need to dump your node_modules directory.
nvm install v18.19.0rm -rf node_modulesnpm installnpm run start
The design of the site should remain largely the same, but the versions of the underlying dependencies will be much improved.
