App.js file is overly large, hindering readability and maintainability. Proposal to refactor the codebase into smaller, modular components for better organization and understanding.

Assignees: Assigned me this issue.

The current app.js file houses all functions, routes, controllers, and even nodemailer implementations, resulting in a cluttered and unmanageable codebase. To enhance maintainability and scalability, we propose refactoring by decoupling these components from app.js and organizing them into separate modules or directories. This approach will improve readability, facilitate code reuse, and foster easier collaboration among developers.

Solutions :

1. Separate Concerns: Move functions, routes, controllers, and nodemailer implementations into distinct modules.
2. Modularization: Organize code into smaller, reusable components for improved maintainability.
3. Refactor app.js: Restructure app.js to serve as the main entry point, delegating functionality to separate modules.
4. Documentation: Update project documentation to reflect the new structure and guide developers.

Feedback and Contributions Welcome

Poorly written documentation, it is hard for the contributers to setup this project in their system.

In the NGORoutes.js file, when users register as NGOs, their passwords are being stored as plain text in the database. This means that if someone gains unauthorized access to the database, they could easily see users' passwords. To keep user information safe, passwords should be encrypted (hashed) before saving them. This adds an extra layer of security by making it difficult for hackers to decipher passwords even if they get access to the database.

I am GSSOC'24 Contributer.

The problem is the lack of a Dockerfile for the Petari project.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implementing a Dockerfile for the Petari project to containerize the application and simplify deployment.

Currently, there is no way to respond to complaints. We need a feature that allows administrators to provide responses to complaints for better issue resolution.

Solution:-
I propose adding an input box that enables admins to provide tailored solutions or responses to each complaint submitted. This enhancement would improve communication and problem-solving efficiency within our system.

How do we know when the feature is complete? :- Ensure the input box for admin responses is working correctly.

@Sahil1786 please assign this issue to me

It is good to have POLICIES for any organization and Petari is not having one . I can add this by creating a new page .

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the absence of a dark/light mode toggle limits user customization options and may lead to discomfort during prolonged usage, especially in low-light environments.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to implement a toggle switch within the application interface, allowing users to seamlessly switch between dark and light modes. Dark mode should feature darker color schemes for improved readability and reduced eye strain.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative approach could involve providing predefined themes with dark and light mode options. However, a toggle switch offers a more intuitive and user-friendly solution.

Additional context
The addition of a dark/light mode toggle aligns with modern design trends and user preferences for customizable interfaces. It enhances user satisfaction and usability by providing a personalized browsing experience tailored to individual preferences.

I have designed the backend as follows using MVC pattern and would use expressJS for writing rest apis and mongoDB for storing data.
The MVC structure of the backend:

Models:

1. Admin Model:

   • Attributes: username, password, fullName, Mobile

2. NGO Model:

   • Attributes: username, password, NGOName, Mobile, NgoID, NgoLocation, approved

3. Query Model:

   • Attributes: name, email, subject, message, createdAt

4. User Model:

   • Attributes: email, password, fullName, address, Mobile, dob, gender, flatNo, addressLine1, addressLine2, city, state, zip, foodInventory

Controllers:

1. Admin Controller:

   • registerAdmin
   • loginAdmin
   • getAllAdmins

2. NGO Controller:

   • registerNGO
   • loginNGO
   • approveNGO
   • getNGODetails
   • getAllNGOs

3. Query Controller:

   • createQuery
   • getQueries
   • getQueryById
   • updateQueryStatus
   • deleteQuery

4. User Controller:

   • registerUser
   • loginUser
   • updateUserProfile
   • deleteUser
   • getUserProfile

Routes:

1. Admin Routes:

   • POST /api/admin/register
   • POST /api/admin/login
   • GET /api/admin/all

2. NGO Routes:

   • POST /api/ngo/register
   • POST /api/ngo/login
   • PUT /api/ngo/:id/approve
   • GET /api/ngo/:id
   • GET /api/ngo/all

3. Query Routes:

   • POST /api/query/create
   • GET /api/query/all
   • GET /api/query/:id
   • PUT /api/query/:id/updateStatus
   • DELETE /api/query/:id

4. User Routes:

   • POST /api/user/register
   • POST /api/user/login
   • PUT /api/user/:id/updateProfile
   • DELETE /api/user/:id
   • GET /api/user/:id.

So I would be working on the backend part and implement all these, I would be working under GSSOC'24. Please assign me.

👋 Hi @Sahil1786,

I am Prince,web developer(Core Team) Girlscript Summer of Code. I'll be collaborating with you on preparing your repo for GSSoC'24 Program

Why are these changes required?
After Analysing last year's contributions and feedback it would be great for students to have a couple of standard readme files on the repo to understand what the project is all about and some issues detailing what they can contribute. This will help you to see increased engagement in your repository as well.

As mentioned students get a chance to learn step by step, how to build this project as well as invite mentors to collaborate and add features to this repo. I will generate issues, which will provide guidance on how to prepare your repo for Girlscript summer of code 2024 on 10th May.

This issue will serve as a tracking issue to track all issues related to GSSoC'24. I recommend creating a new branch for every issue and opening a pull request to track changes so we can effectively collaborate with each other and merge changes when you and I feel like those changes are ready to be merged on your primary branch.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a comment on this issue or any of the other issues that are generated.

I look forward to working with you

Learn repos should have a LEARN.md file to teach student how to build your project step by step. You can explain how to build your project with text, code snippets, images, or even short (5 minute) long video lessons. As the maintainer of a Learn repo, the LEARN.md file requires you to think critically about how to explain the building of your project and how to also make it engaging. We don't expect you to be an expert teacher, but we would like you to reflect on how difficult it was to get to your level of knowledge, and then provide friendly guidance to help other students to learn.

Description

To add user authentication in this application by integrating JWT(Json Web Token) based authentication middleware.

Proposed Solution :

1.Implement JWT token generation upon user login.

2.Configure middleware to authenticate incoming requests using JWT tokens.

3.Add token validation logic to ensure tokens are valid and not expired.

4.Secure sensitive routes and endpoints by requiring valid JWT tokens for access.

"In all sections—user dashboard, NGO dashboard, and admin dashboard—you need to be able to accept or delete users, NGOs, or complaints. The primary task is to execute the appropriate action based on the clicked button. For instance, if 'accept' is selected, the relevant data will be accepted. Conversely, if 'delete' is chosen, the data will be removed from the backend database."

Description:
There are several issues in the provided code that need to be addressed:

Hardcoded Author Information:

Sensitive information about the admin user, including email, password, full name, and mobile number, is hardcoded in the code. This poses a significant security risk and violates best practices for handling sensitive data.
Inconsistent Error Handling:

Some routes do not handle errors consistently, leading to potential internal server errors without proper feedback to the client.
Code Structure and Redundancy:

The code for rendering the admin dashboard is repeated multiple times across different routes, making it harder to maintain and increasing the chance of bugs.

Miscellaneous Errors:

Minor typos and mistakes, such as res.status(500).jso({ error: "Internal server error" }); which should be res.status(500).json({ error: "Internal server error" });.
