The backend implementation for the Total Cost / Price Tracker feature is essential for securely managing and calculating the total cost of the trip, including estimated costs for itinerary items with a buffer. This involves handling expense data, performing calculations, and providing data to the front end for display.
Tasks
[ ] Design and implement database tables and schema to store trip expense data securely.
[ ] Develop API endpoints for retrieving and updating trip expense data, including authentication and authorization mechanisms.
[ ] Implement logic for calculating the total trip cost based on the estimated costs of itinerary items and adding a buffer amount for unexpected expenses.
[ ] Integrate with third-party services or APIs for retrieving real-time pricing information for itinerary items (e.g., flights, accommodations, activities).
[ ] Implement error handling and logging to monitor and debug issues related to trip expense calculations.
[ ] Ensure compliance with privacy regulations and data protection laws when handling sensitive expense information.
Additional Information
[ ] Consider providing users with options for setting a budget for their trip and receiving notifications if their expenses exceed the budget.
[ ] Collaborate with the front-end team to define API requirements and ensure compatibility with front-end components.
