Summary of Changes

Hello @Rohanrathod7, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a complete signup feature, enabling new user registration for the application. It encompasses a modern UI design, robust client-side and server-side validation using Zod, secure password hashing, and seamless API integration. The changes are thoroughly tested with both unit and integration tests, and comprehensive documentation is provided to explain the data flow and architecture.

Highlights

  • Feature Implementation: Signup Page: A new signup page has been implemented, covering both frontend and backend aspects, allowing users to register with robust validation and secure password handling.
  • Comprehensive Validation: Client-side validation is handled using Zod, ensuring strict password rules (min 8 chars, uppercase, lowercase, number, special char) and field validation for email, birth place, and location. Backend validation is aligned with these rules for consistency and security.
  • API Integration & Alignment: The frontend is integrated with the backend's new /api/v1/auth/signup endpoint. The API configuration is centralized, and the backend now includes CORS support.
  • Extensive Testing: Frontend unit tests for the Zod schema (18 scenarios) are set up with Vitest. Backend integration tests (15+ scenarios) are implemented with Jest, covering user registration, duplicate email handling, password strength, and input edge cases.
  • Detailed Documentation: A new markdown file, signup_dataflow.md, has been created to detail the architecture, step-by-step data flow, data transformation, and error handling for the signup feature. The Postman collection has also been updated with 13 test cases for authentication endpoints.

critical

The password validation regex in this test file is different from the one used in the SignUp.tsx component and the backend validator. This test uses /[@$!%*?&]/, while the component and backend use the more comprehensive /[!@#$%^&*(),.?":{}|<>]/. This discrepancy means your tests are not accurately validating the same password policy that is enforced in the application, which could lead to valid passwords being rejected by tests or vice-versa. Please update the regex in this test file to match the one in SignUp.tsx.

high

The current CORS configuration is too permissive for a production environment. Using origin: true reflects the request's origin, which can introduce security risks by allowing requests from any domain. It is highly recommended to restrict this to a specific list of allowed origins, preferably loaded from an environment variable.

Suggested change
app.use(cors({ origin: true, credentials: true }))
app.use(cors({ origin: [env.FRONTEND_URL], credentials: true }))

This test for a successful login is a bit fragile. It includes conditional logic and a console.log to handle the case where the test user might not exist. A better practice for integration tests is to ensure a consistent state before each test run.

Consider using a beforeAll or beforeEach hook to create the necessary test user. This will make your test more deterministic and remove the need for conditional logic and logging within the test itself.

For example:

describe('Login Endpoint Tests', () => {
  const loginTestEmail = env.YOUR_EMAIL || 'test@example.com';
  const validPassword = 'Test@1234';

  beforeAll(async () => {
    // Ensure the test user exists, create if not.
    await UserUtils.ensureTestUserExists(loginTestEmail, validPassword);
  });

  it('should successfully login with valid credentials', async () => {
    const res = await axios.post(`${API_URL}/user/login`, {
      email: loginTestEmail,
      password: validPassword,
    });

    expect(res.status).toBe(200);
    expect(res.data).toBeDefined();
    expect(res.data.message).toBeDefined();
  }, 10000);

  // ... other tests
});

The response example for the "Register User" endpoint shows the user data under a user key. However, the corresponding backend test (user.test.ts) asserts that this data is under a userObj key. Please ensure the documentation matches the actual API response for consistency.

The form includes an input field for role, but the handleSubmit function hardcodes the role to 'user' in the payload sent to the backend. This is confusing for the user, as their input in the role field is ignored. If the role is not meant to be user-configurable during signup, this input field should be removed from the form to avoid confusion. After removing it, you may also want to adjust the grid layout for the 'Full Name' field to span the full width.

The Zod schema for bio in this test file is missing the .min(5, ...) validation that is present in the SignUp.tsx component. This can lead to tests passing for inputs that would fail in the actual component. Please ensure the validation schemas are identical to maintain consistency between your tests and the implementation.

Suggested change
bio: z.string().max(50, 'Bio must be less than 50 characters'),
bio: z.string().min(5, 'Bio must be at least 5 characters').max(50, 'Bio must be less than 50 characters'),

Just Updated Sign up page it also includes a little Password Reset functionality code in the same branch.

Technically, the code works perfectly and I've resolved the merge conflicts with the latest master.

I actually have the full Password Reset feature ready in a separate branch with updated UI for forgot reset page #89
