Introduction

Welcome to the Inventory Management System API! This project is an Express server built with TypeScript, serving as the backend for an inventory management system. It allows users to log in or sign up, view their inventory, update items, and customize the structure of their inventory.

Detailed Description

The server is developed in Node.js using the Express framework and TypeScript. It leverages Firebase Firestore as the database for storing inventory data. The application follows a modular project structure to enhance maintainability and scalability.

Features

• User authentication (login and signup)
• View and manage inventory items
• Dynamic structure modification for inventory customization

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• TypeScript
• Firebase account with Firestore enabled

Setup Guide

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository_url>
   cd <repository_name>

2. Install dependencies: npm install

3. Configure Firebase:

• Set up a Firebase project and configure Firestore.
• Add Firebase configuration details to config/firebaseConfig.js.

4. Start the server: npm start

Project Structure

API Endpoints

• Authentication:

• POST /api/auth/signup: Create a new user account.

• POST /api/auth/login: Log in with existing credentials.

• Inventory:

• GET /api/inventory: Retrieve user's inventory.

• PATCH /api/inventory/structure: Modify inventory structure.

• PUT /api/inventory/:itemId: Update an item in the inventory.

Detailed API Documentation (Update with actual documentation)

Authentication

The API uses token-based authentication. Upon successful login, a token is provided and must be included in subsequent requests in the Authorization header.

Database

The server connects to Firebase Firestore for data storage. Ensure your Firestore rules are appropriately configured to restrict access based on your requirements.
