Scrum Report # 2 (Workshop 3)

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)? I implemented user authentication with JWT tokens. Upon successful login/sign up, a JWT token is sent from the backend to the frontend where it is stored in local storage. Any subsequent requests to the backend that require users are authorized will have to pass the token in the header, where it is then validated in the backend, decoded, and userID extracted. I also implemented form validation with formik and yup and hashed the passwords in the database. I changed our backend to use TypeScript and added new fields into the database to allow users to sign up with an email. Users can then sign in with their username or their email as they choose.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into? Getting formik to work with material UI was challenging and something I've never done before. User authentication is a complex problem and it's difficult to make sure all the data remains secure.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration I plan on working on the following issues: user search endpoint #22 endpoint for modifying user password #12

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

• broke down project tasks into github issues
• worked on the home page (after user logs in) and all the associated components

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?

• it was difficult breaking down such a large project into smaller subtasks but I got it done

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration I plan on working on the following issues:

• Investigation on Google Vision API + documenting my findings #18
  • not sure if I'll have it implemented by then since it's dependant on #8 which Lakshya is working on
• Slide toggle component #9

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)? In order to picture the blueprint of our project, I designed the website flow by using figma. I break down the UI into 13 frames and give the project a clear view. By doing so, it would be more efficient to distribute the tasks. Every team member could have a vivid image of what to to and what the pages will be like when we are working. On the other hand, I work on the frontend part of uploading pictures(popup and draw the file to a box) and making text areas for adding descriptions.(#15)

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into? Using material UI was something new for me. Even we know how to make a recipe website, it is different to transfer an upload and text area in a popup.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration Using mui to make a Instagram-like page change and working on frontend issue #15 Searching picture analysis API with Steven in issue #18
