[FEAT]: Waitlist API - BACKEND

[Nifilat]

Description

Create a backend API endpoint to receive and store user information submitted through the waitlist signup form on the website.

Acceptance Criteria

• The endpoint should be accessible at /api/v1/waitlist.

• The endpoint should accept POST requests to receive user information.

• Given a POST request with user data, the system should validate and sanitize the incoming data.

• Validation rules should include:

  • Email format validation.
  • Required fields: email, name.
  • The name should be a non-empty string.

• Given valid user data, the system should securely store the information in the database.

• Upon successful signup, the system should send a confirmation email to the user.

• Return a 429 Too Many Requests status with an appropriate error message if the rate limit is exceeded

• The system should handle errors gracefully and return appropriate status codes.

Request Body

{
  "email": "johndoe@gmail.com",
  "full_name": "John Doe"
}

Successful Response (status code: 201)

{
  "message": "You are all signed up!",
}

Error Response

{
  "message": "Invalid email format",
  "status_code": 400,
  "error": "Bad Request"
}

Purpose

To allow potential users to join a waitlist for our product/service by submitting their information through a form on the website.

Requirements

• [ ] Develop a RESTful API endpoint to handle POST requests
• [ ] Validate and sanitize incoming user data
• [ ] Store user information securely in the database
• [ ] Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
• [ ] Send a confirmation email to the user upon successful signup
• [ ] Handle errors gracefully and return appropriate status codes

Expected Outcome

A secure and efficient API endpoint that can receive user information, store it in the database and confirm the user's addition to the waitlist.

Testing

• Test that the endpoint returns a 201 status code with a success message on valid submissions.
• Test that invalid data triggers a 400 Bad Request response with an appropriate error message.
• Test that a confirmation email is sent upon successful signup.
• Test that the rate-limiting works correctly and returns the appropriate status code when exceeded.
