Issues in userModel.ts

[BaibhavTiwari]

Here are some potential issues in the userModel.ts code.

1. Inconsistent Naming: directorsold Field

• Issue: The field directorsold is not consistent with the naming convention (camelCase). It may cause confusion and should be renamed to something more appropriate like directors for clarity and consistency.

2. Missing Validation for Age Field

• Issue: The age field does not have any validation (e.g., no minimum/maximum value). Consider adding validation to ensure the user's age is within a reasonable range.

3. Missing required Constraint for Important Fields

• Issue: Some fields like profile_image and age are not marked as required, even though they might be critical for the proper functionality of the system. Ensure the required fields are properly defined.

4. Potential Performance Issue with Group Schema

• Issue: The groups field stores arrays of nested Group objects, including multiple sub-documents. This can lead to performance issues as MongoDB documents are limited to 16 MB. Consider using references (ObjectIds) for groups instead of embedding the full document.

5. No Validation for Email Format

• Issue: The email field does not currently have validation to ensure a proper email format. This might allow invalid email addresses to be stored.

6. No Default Value for Friend Requests Status

• Issue: The friendRequests schema lacks a default value for the status field, though it's important to ensure that new requests are correctly initialized as "pending." Add this default value to avoid manual status setting.

7. Improper Data Type for actor Field

• Issue: The actor field is an array of Schema.Types.ObjectId, but there is no reference to the model it relates to (Person). Add ref: "Person" to ensure that it correctly references the Person model.

8. Missing Required Field in FriendRequest Interface

• Issue: The createdAt field in the FriendRequest interface is marked as required but does not have any validation or default value set in the schema. Consider adding a default value for the createdAt field.

9. Potential Redundancy in _id Field Generation

• Issue: In the userSchema, the _id field is explicitly set as a string with a default value that generates a new ObjectId. This could be redundant, as MongoDB automatically assigns an ObjectId to documents. Consider removing this manual assignment unless there's a specific reason to use string-based _id.

10. Inconsistent Key Naming in Journal Interface

• Issue: The rewatches field in the Journal interface is named in plural, which could be misleading. Consider renaming it to rewatchCount or something more descriptive.

11. No Indexing on Important Fields

• Issue: The schema lacks indexes on important fields like email, userName, and list_id. Indexing these fields can improve query performance, especially for frequently searched attributes like email.

@BaibhavTiwari : Good work. But, you need to setup server on machine and find issues manullay. GPT issues wont work here, unfortunately

Have tried to set up the server on the machine but got stuck midway, will try to set it up again and found issues manually.

Thanks
