Customers should be able to create sale tickets

[jaikamat]

Customers should be able to create their own sale tickets, to be viewed and fulfilled by Clubhouse employees. Brainstorm a workflow and edge-cases for implementation. This will likely be a large, comprehensive feature spanning multiple fullstack services.

Notes:

API Endpoints:

GET /tickets - all tix GET /tickets/uuid - one ticket POST /tickets - create one ticket POST /tickets/uuid - edit a ticket DELETE /tickets/uuid - delete or archive a ticket

Customer user story

• Clicks 'order'
• Fills list on right with list of inventory items on left after searching for cardname
• Can view estimated total based on TCG, with disclaimer that some prices may be missing
• Clicks 'submit' and creates ticket

  ---

• Clicks view orders
• Can see status of tickets, whether available or not
• Limit five(?) open tickets per customer

Staff user story

• Clicks ticketing
• Sees all tickets in chronological order, sorted by oldest
• Clicks a ticket to view/expand
• Sees if changes in requested inventory differ from available inventory
• Sets price on cards in inventory to review total
• Physically pulls inventory
• Clicks "fulfill" which creates a suspended sale under ticket uuid and deducts from inventory (review the suspendedSale service to ensure data is sane)
• Customer receives email that their cards are ready (best framework for sending emails??)
• Option to cancel ticket before fulfillment which sets status to cancelled
• Deletion of suspended sale thereafter follows the normal suspend sale deletion

Implementation

• Think about going with a monolith rather than microservices for speed and ease of testing/deployment
• Research GCP Express/Node deployment options
• Use Mongoose for data modeling
• Nail down secure user auth
