Resolve API Data Retrieval error

[qisforq]

Task Description: Resolve Dashboard API Data Retrieval Error

Objective: Fix the recurring TypeError in the GET handler of the /api/dashboard/[...cardId] route to ensure robust data retrieval and error handling for the AthletiFi dashboard.

Steps:

1. Code Review and Debugging:

   • Locate and examine the file: src/app/api/dashboard/[...cardId]/route.ts
   • Focus on line 17, where the error is occurring
   • Identify the cause of the "Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')" error

2. Implement Null Checks:

   • Add proper null and undefined checks before accessing any data properties
   • Ensure that the cardId parameter is correctly extracted and validated

3. Error Handling Enhancement:

   • Implement a try-catch block around the main logic of the GET handler
   • Create meaningful error responses for different scenarios (e.g., data not found, database error)

4. Data Retrieval Verification:

   • Review the database query or data fetching logic
   • Ensure that the correct data is being retrieved based on the provided cardId
   • Verify the structure of the returned data matches what the code expects

5. Testing:

   • Create unit tests for the GET handler to cover various scenarios (successful data retrieval, no data found, invalid cardId)
   • Perform integration tests to ensure proper communication between the API, Lambda, and RDS PostgreSQL database

6. Documentation:

   • Update any relevant documentation about the API endpoint
   • Document the error handling approach and expected response formats

7. Logging Implementation:

   • Add detailed logging throughout the function to aid in future debugging
   • Ensure logs capture relevant information like cardId, query parameters, and error details

8. Code Optimization:

   • Refactor the code if necessary to improve readability and maintainability
   • Consider extracting reusable parts into separate functions

9. Pull Request and Code Review:

   • Create a pull request with the changes
   • Provide a detailed description of the changes and the problem they solve
   • Request a code review from team members

10. Deployment and Monitoring:

    • Once approved, deploy the changes to a staging environment
    • Monitor the logs and performance to ensure the error has been resolved
    • Plan for deployment to production after successful staging tests

Definition of Done:

• The TypeError is resolved and no longer occurs in the logs
• Proper error handling is in place, returning appropriate responses for all scenarios
• Unit and integration tests are passing
• Code has been reviewed and approved by at least one other team member
• Changes have been successfully deployed and verified in the staging environment
• Documentation has been updated to reflect the changes

Wasn't able to reproduce the error. It seems likely fixed along with @chef-louis #347 and #345 logging cleanup. merged changes, test again with @qisforq to see if the issue persists

Yeah you are probably right, reading over them again they were pretty similar bugs. Thanks for taking care of the merges!
