To support the core functionality of the QuickFix app, implement a backend in Firestore to store and link "QuickFix" services with user and worker profiles. This setup will allow each user to view and manage their pending QuickFixes, and each worker to track their assigned or pending tasks.
This backend structure is crucial for building the UI components for user and worker dashboards. It also enables us to finalize key features in the next sprint, such as job tracking and worker interaction, which are part of the following epics:
Job Tracking Epic: This backend will provide the necessary infrastructure to track each job from initiation to completion, supporting transparency and efficient task management.
Worker Interaction and Management Epic: By linking QuickFixes to profiles, we enhance the interaction between users and workers, making it easier for workers to manage their workload and for users to follow the progress of their requests.
Features to Implement:
Firestore Database Structure:
QuickFix Collection: Create a collection in Firestore to store each QuickFix service, including details such as service type, status (e.g., pending, completed), timestamps, and any relevant metadata.
User Profile Link: Link each QuickFix to the requesting user profile.
Worker Profile Link: Link each QuickFix to the assigned worker profile, including both pending and accepted tasks.
Backend Logic:
QuickFix Creation and Assignment: Implement functions to create new QuickFix records and assign them to workers, updating profiles accordingly.
Status Updates: Allow for real-time updates on QuickFix status, reflecting changes in both user and worker profiles.
Data Retrieval: Set up functions to retrieve QuickFixes based on user ID or worker ID for efficient dashboard display.
Permissions and Security Rules:
Firestore Security Rules: Ensure that only authorized users can view or modify QuickFix data.
Data Integrity Checks: Implement validation to ensure data consistency between QuickFix records and linked profiles.
Acceptance Criteria:
Data Linking: Each QuickFix is correctly linked to both a user profile (as the requester) and a worker profile (as the assignee).
Data Storage: QuickFixes are stored in Firestore with all required fields, including status and timestamps.
Real-Time Updates: QuickFix status updates are reflected immediately in both the user and worker profiles.
Security Compliance: Firestore security rules prevent unauthorized access or modification of QuickFix data.
Tasks:
Database Setup:
Create Firestore collections and define data structures for QuickFixes, linking to user and worker profiles.
Backend Logic Implementation:
Develop functions to create, assign, update, and retrieve QuickFixes, ensuring accurate linking to profiles.
Security and Validation:
Implement Firestore security rules and validation logic for data consistency.
Testing and Verification:
Conduct tests to ensure QuickFixes are linked correctly, update in real-time, and adhere to security rules.
Notes:
This backend feature will lay the foundation for building the user and worker dashboards in the next sprint.
Completing this task is essential for finalizing the Job Tracking and Worker Interaction and Management Epics, bringing us closer to the app’s overall functionality and release goals.
By implementing this feature, we enable the QuickFix app to provide essential tracking and interaction capabilities, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency for both users and workers.
