Implement Scan QR Code API

Description

Issue: Develop the backend API for scanning QR codes in the QR-Based Attendance System. This API's primary objective is to enable students to mark their attendance by scanning QR codes during lectures and class sessions.

Objective: Scanning QR codes is a critical feature that allows students to efficiently and accurately mark their attendance in lectures. This issue focuses on building the API that facilitates QR code scanning.

Implementation Details

• Backend Development: The Scan QR Code API will be implemented on the backend of the application, utilizing the Node.js and MongoDB stack.

• QR Code Scanning Logic: The API will include logic to validate scanned QR codes against session data, mark attendance, and store attendance records.

Task Checklist

• [ ] Create the Scan QR Code API endpoint.
• [ ] Implement QR code scanning logic for attendance tracking.
• [ ] Integrate the API with the existing backend infrastructure.
• [ ] Rigorously test the API to ensure it correctly marks attendance.
• [ ] Properly document the API endpoint and its usage in the project's API documentation.

Usage

To use the Scan QR Code API:

1. Students should access a dedicated interface or feature to initiate QR code scanning.

2. The interface should use the device camera to scan QR codes displayed during lectures.

3. Upon successful scanning and validation, the API will mark the student's attendance for the corresponding session.

Checklist

• [ ] API endpoint created
• [ ] QR code scanning logic for attendance implemented
• [ ] API integrated with backend infrastructure
• [ ] API tested for correct attendance marking
• [ ] API documentation updated
• [ ] Issue labeled and assigned
• [ ] Estimated time and deadline set
• [ ] Screenshots added if applicable
