Comprehensive Repository Improvement: Code Organization, Environment Security, JWT Secret Fix, and Enhanced Validation #15

Open techSaswata opened 10 hours ago

techSaswata commented 10 hours ago

Description:

This issue aims to address several key areas that require improvement within the repository. By focusing on code organization, security practices, and robust error handling, we can enhance the overall quality and maintainability of the project.

  1. Code Structure Cleanup The current structure includes potentially redundant or disorganized files across different directories, such as components and services. To streamline development:

Group related functionalities together (e.g., place all authentication-related files in a dedicated folder). Ensure clear separation of concerns across components and services for easier navigation and future scalability.

  1. Secure Handling of Environment Variables Sensitive information such as the JWT_SECRET is being mishandled within the project. To prevent security vulnerabilities:

Ensure that sensitive data is stored in a .env file and is ignored by version control through .gitignore. Avoid hardcoding secrets directly in the codebase, following security best practices.

  1. Typo in JWT Secret Key There is a typo in the environment variable for the JWT token. It is currently spelled as JWT_SECREAT, but it should be JWT_SECRET.

Correcting this will: Ensure consistency and prevent any issues with token generation and validation.

  1. Improved Validation and Error Handling The current form validation and error handling mechanisms are insufficient for handling various edge cases:

Implement comprehensive input validation, especially in forms, to avoid erroneous or malicious data entry. Ensure all API responses include appropriate error messages and status codes to handle different failure scenarios gracefully.

Goal: Refactor the code structure for better readability and maintenance. Strengthen security by improving environment variable management. Fix the JWT secret typo to ensure seamless authentication. Implement robust validation and error handling to cover edge cases and improve user experience.

Impact: This issue will significantly improve code clarity, security, and reliability, contributing to a smoother development experience and more secure production environments.
