[FEAT]: Endpoint to Export User Data (.csv, PDF)

[Ibrahim4Grace]

Description

Users should have the ability to export their data in .csv and PDF formats from their profile page. This feature will enhance user experience by providing a convenient way for users to download and manage their data offline.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] A new feature that allows users to export their data in .csv and PDF formats.
• [ ] The export options should be available on the user profile or data management page.
• [ ] The exported data should include all relevant information such as user details and any other relevant data.
• [ ] Data should be exported in a comma-separated values format.
• [ ] Data should be presented in a well-structured PDF document.
• [ ] Proper error handling should be implemented to inform the user if the export process fails.
• [ ] Unit and integration tests should be written to ensure the feature works as expected.
• [ ] The endpoint should be accessible at GET /api/v1/data-export

Technical Details

{
  "export_formats": "csv", "pdf",
  "export_location": "User Profile or Data Management Page",
  "included_data": "User Details", "relevant Data",
  "csv_format": "Comma-separated",
  "pdf_format": "Formatted and Readable",
  "error_handling": "Inform user if export process fails",
  "tests": "Unit Tests", "Integration Tests"
}

Response Example

On successful exporting data , the API should return a 200 OK status code. The response body should contain a success message:

{
 "status": "success",
  "status_code": 200,
  "message": "File exported successfully."
}

Output Validation

If there is an error in exporting the date(e.g., network issues), the API should return a 500 Internal Server Error status code with an appropriate message:

{
 "status": "unsuccessful",
  "status_code": 500,
  "message": "Failed to export user data. Please try again later."
}

Authentication and Authorization

Authentication

• Verify that the user is authenticated before allowing access to the endpoint.
• Example: Use middleware to check for a valid authentication token.

Authorization

• Ensure that only authorized users can export data.

Documentation

• Ensure that API documentation is updated to include details about the new endpoint, request/response formats, error handling, and authentication requirements.

Dependencies and Impact

• Ensure the user authentication service is up and running.
• Ensure the auth middleware is active.

Testing Requirements

• Write unit tests to validate export data.
