  • docs: add community standards and license
  • feat(backend): Fix CarInfo API contract mismatch (P0)
  • refactor(backend): Standardize API response envelope (P0)

Summary by Sourcery

Standardize backend API responses and update project community and workflow configuration.

New Features:

  • Introduce a consistent response envelope structure with success, message, and data fields for car info, policies, and clients endpoints.

Bug Fixes:

  • Align the car info update endpoint with the expected API contract, including support for assetID-based updates and clearer error handling.

Enhancements:

  • Secure the policies API with shared JWT-based authentication middleware.
  • Improve error handling and HTTP status code usage across updated backend endpoints.
  • Upgrade the release workflow to use JDK 17 for the build process.

Build:

  • Update GitHub Actions release workflow to build with Java 17 instead of Java 11.

Documentation:

  • Add contributing guidelines, code of conduct, license, and standardized GitHub issue and pull request templates to document community standards and contribution process.

Fixes #17

Implements a backward-compatible fix for the editcarinfo.php endpoint. The script now accepts either ID or �ssetID as the identifier for updates, prioritizing ID. This resolves the contract mismatch where the Flutter client was sending �ssetID while the backend expected the primary key ID. The endpoint now also uses prepared statements and returns a standardized JSON response.
Fixes #28

Refactors getallclients.php and getallpolicies.php to use the standard API response envelope: { success, message, data: { items: [...] } }. Also updates getallpolicies.php to use the JWT-based auth check instead of the legacy phpPassword.

Reviewer's Guide

Standardizes backend API response envelopes for car info, policies, and clients endpoints, introduces JWT-based protection for policies/clients, improves editcarinfo update logic, and adds community standards/docs plus CI Java version bump.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Refactor editcarinfo endpoint to support flexible identifiers, stronger validation, and standardized JSON envelope with HTTP status codes.
  • Replace loosely structured $resp array with $response containing success, message, and data keys and always JSON-encode that envelope
  • Add HTTP 401/400/500 status code handling tied to specific validation and error paths
  • Allow updates to be targeted by either ID or assetID, with ID taking precedence
  • Normalize update-building logic with explicit allowed field list, per-field typing, null-handling for empty strings, and prepared-statement binding arrays
  • Improve SQL error reporting messages for prepare/execute failures
backend/carinfos/editcarinfo.php
Secure and normalize policies listing endpoint using JWT auth and new response envelope schema.
  • Replace phpPassword-based access control with auth_check.php JWT authentication
  • Refactor raw die/json_encode calls into try/catch with unified success/message/data response structure
  • Return policies under data.items plus a count, and standardize success message text
  • On query failure, throw an exception and respond with HTTP 500 and error message
  • Ensure DB connection is closed and response is JSON-encoded once at the end
backend/policies/getallpolicies.php
Align clients listing endpoint to shared response envelope while keeping existing JWT auth.
  • Change response structure to success/message/data instead of success/clients
  • Populate data.items with the clients array and set a clear success message

P1 Badge Preserve top-level clients list for existing app code

This endpoint now nests the list under data.items, but the Flutter clients still read a top‑level clients array (e.g., lib/client/pages/clientlist.dart expects jsonData['clients'] or a direct list). Because data is now an object instead of a list, those callers fall into the error path and show “Müşteri verisi bulunamadı”, even though the API succeeded. Consider keeping the legacy clients key or updating all client call sites to read data.items.

P1 Badge Keep policies list key or update all consumers

The response now moves the policies list into data.items, but multiple Flutter screens still parse policies at the top level (e.g., lib/police/pages/all_policies.dart uses policiesJson['policies']). With the new shape, those screens will render zero policies even on success. Either preserve policies for backward compatibility or update all policy consumers to read data.items.

P1 Badge JWT-only auth will 401 existing policy fetches

Switching this endpoint to auth_check.php makes the Authorization header mandatory, and auth_check.php immediately returns 401 when it’s missing. The Flutter app still calls this endpoint with only phpPassword in the body (e.g., lib/police/pages/all_policies.dart), so those calls will now fail. If the mobile app isn’t updated to send JWTs everywhere, you’ll need a temporary compatibility path.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Adds composer.json to define PHP dependencies (phpunit, phinx). Updates phpunit.xml.dist and adds a bootstrap file to correctly load test files and functions. This resolves the 'composer.json not found' error in the Backend CI job.

Hey - I've found 4 issues, and left some high level feedback:

  • In the new standardized response envelopes, consider avoiding exposing raw database or internal exception messages (e.g., mysqli_error text) directly in message to prevent leaking internal details to API consumers; instead log the detailed error and return a generic user-facing message.
  • The response data payload shape differs between endpoints (e.g., getallpolicies returns {"items": [...], "count": n} while getallclients returns only {"items": [...]}); aligning these structures will make client-side handling simpler and more predictable.

## Overall Comments
- In the new standardized response envelopes, consider avoiding exposing raw database or internal exception messages (e.g., `mysqli_error` text) directly in `message` to prevent leaking internal details to API consumers; instead log the detailed error and return a generic user-facing message.
- The response `data` payload shape differs between endpoints (e.g., `getallpolicies` returns `{"items": [...], "count": n}` while `getallclients` returns only `{"items": [...]}`); aligning these structures will make client-side handling simpler and more predictable.

**suggestion (bug_risk):** Returning a 500 for missing update fields makes a client-side error look like a server error.

Because no HTTP status is set before throwing, the catch block will see `http_response_code() === 200` and turn this into a 500, misclassifying a client error as a server error. Consider explicitly setting an appropriate 4xx status (e.g., 400 or 422) before throwing so it’s consistent with other validation failures like the missing ID/assetID case.

    if (empty($setClauses)) {

**🚨 issue (security):** Including raw SQL error messages in the JSON response leaks internal database details.

Both the prepare and execute branches include `$connNow->error` / `$stmt->error` in exceptions that are sent to the client, potentially exposing schema and internal DB details. Log the full DB error server-side and return a generic message (optionally with a stable error code) to the client instead.

Because query failures throw `new Exception(mysqli_error($connNow))`, the catch block ends up returning raw database errors in the JSON response, which can expose schema and SQL details. Instead, log the detailed error server-side and return a generic error message with HTTP 500 to the client.

backend/clients/getallclients.php:29

  • This API returns raw database error messages to clients by throwing new Exception(mysqli_error($connNow)) and then serializing "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage() into the JSON response. Exposing low-level database errors gives attackers insight into your schema and environment that can be used to craft more effective attacks. You should log detailed DB errors server-side and only send a generic failure message in the HTTP response body.

Breaking change detected: The response structure has been changed from {"clients": [...], "success": true} to {"data": {"items": [...]}, "success": true, "message": "..."}. Multiple frontend consumers (lib/client/pages/clientlist.dart:63, lib/police/pages/newpolicy.dart:140, lib/police/pages/editpolicy.dart:138, lib/police/pages/receivables_page.dart:135) expect the clients key directly at the root level. While clientlist.dart has a fallback that checks both clients and data keys (line 63), other consumers do not have this fallback and will break. Consider either: 1) Keeping backward compatibility by including both formats temporarily, or 2) Coordinating this backend change with corresponding frontend updates in the same PR.

Suggested change
$response["message"] = "Clients retrieved successfully.";
$response["data"] = ["items" => $clients];
$response["message"] = "Clients retrieved successfully.";
// New structured response for newer clients
$response["data"] = ["items" => $clients];
// Backward-compatible root-level key for existing frontend consumers
$response["clients"] = $clients;

The date format validation for the seyruseferdate field has been removed in this refactoring. The original code validated that dates matched the YYYY-MM-DD format using a regex pattern. This validation should be restored to ensure data integrity. Add validation similar to: if ($value !== '' && !preg_match('/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/', $value)) throw new Exception('seyruseferdate must be in YYYY-MM-DD format'); before line 55.

The response envelope structure is inconsistent across the codebase. This endpoint uses {"data": {"items": [...]}}, while similar endpoints like getcarinfo.php (backend/carinfos/getcarinfo.php:7) use {"carinfo": ...} as the data key. For true API standardization, consider documenting the standard envelope format and applying it consistently across all endpoints. The standard structure should be: {"success": bool, "message": string, "data": object|array|null} where the data key always contains the actual payload, regardless of whether it's a single item, list, or metadata object.

$response["data"] = ["items" => $policies, "count" => count($policies)];

When no fields are provided for update, the error message "No fields to update were provided." will be shown, but the HTTP status code remains 200 (OK). Consider setting an appropriate HTTP status code (e.g., 400 Bad Request) before throwing the exception, similar to how it's done for missing identifiers on lines 32-33.

The comment indicates JWT authentication will be added in a later phase (P2), but this endpoint is already being refactored in this PR focused on security improvements (changing authentication from phpPassword to JWT for getallpolicies.php). Consider prioritizing JWT authentication for this endpoint as well, since it handles sensitive car information updates. If that's not feasible in this PR, at least ensure the phpPassword check includes proper timing-safe comparison to prevent timing attacks.

The error message strings have been changed from Turkish to English (e.g., "Araç güncellendi" → "Car info updated successfully."), but other parts of the codebase still use Turkish error messages (e.g., backend/carinfos/getcarinfo.php uses Turkish: "Invalid authentication."). This creates inconsistency in the user experience. Consider either: 1) Maintaining Turkish messages to match the rest of the codebase, or 2) Implementing proper internationalization (i18n) support if multilingual messages are desired.

Breaking change detected: The response structure has been changed from {"policies": [...], "success": true, "count": N} to {"data": {"items": [...], "count": N}, "success": true, "message": "..."}. Multiple frontend consumers (lib/police/pages/all_policies.dart:136, lib/main.dart:159, lib/police/pages/receivables_page.dart:132) expect the policies key directly at the root level and will break with this change. While some files have fallback logic (e.g., remainings_page.dart:77), not all do. Consider either: 1) Keeping backward compatibility by including both formats temporarily, or 2) Coordinating this backend change with corresponding frontend updates in the same PR.

This endpoint exposes raw database error messages to API clients by throwing new Exception(mysqli_error($connNow)) and then returning "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage() in the JSON response. An attacker who can trigger a database error (e.g., via operational failures or future query changes) can harvest internal details about your schema or infrastructure, which materially aids further exploitation. Instead, log detailed database errors on the server and return only a generic, client-safe error message in the HTTP response.

This endpoint leaks internal database error details to callers by constructing exceptions with ... $connNow->error / $stmt->error and then returning $e->getMessage() directly in the JSON message field. An attacker who can trigger SQL preparation or execution failures can obtain detailed information about the database schema or environment, which can significantly aid further exploitation. Instead, capture and log the detailed exception messages server-side and return a generic, user-friendly error message in the API response.
