What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

In this past iteration I worked on creating and testing endpoints for the front end to add / delete / modify user uploaded images. I was also working on drafting documents on how to use to the endpoints and also worked on fixing bugs related to s3 bucket.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?

Although there is a lot of documentation available for how to setup s3 bucket, it was still somewhat of a challenge to implement. The dashboard contains a lot of configuration options and needs to setup properly to allow images to be viewed. In the end after consulting the documentation, I was able to get the configurations configured correctly to allow successful upload and viewing of images.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?**

I plan to add to the images endpoint where necessary or fix any related bugs and look into what technologies we can use to deploy our application. I will look into automatically deploying our application whenever a branch or main is updated.

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

This past iteration I worked on integrating the frontend with the backend endpoints for doing proximity search and retrieving park details. I also collaborated with team members to resolve bugs and ensure sorting (increasing vs. decreasing distance) works as expected and that it appears for the appropriate search mode. Other tasks I completed include adding form validation for proximity search and preferences search, and creating a feedback message for when no results are found.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?

It was challenging at times to work on files simultaneously with other team members, as I was concerned with creating potential merge conflicts. There was also quite a bit of back and forth to determine what the backend could provide for the frontend to ensure integration goes smoothly. Ultimately, we were able to resolve these issues via timely communication.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?**

For this coming iteration, I plan to complete the frontend portion for pagination for search results and reviews. I will also work on polishing our UI, and incorporate more ideas that would adhere to certain web accessibility and UX standards.

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

In this past iteration, I implemented the ability the backend functionality for adding user reviews for parks. This included modifications to the DB schema for user reviews, and adding the requisite endpoint, controller and DAOS functions. I also implemented pagination for "get parks by distance" and for "user reviews".

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into? I did not run into any major issues or challenges in the past iteration. Although testing pagination was a little tricky at first, I was able to do it successfully using Postman.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)? For the coming iteration, I will be moving our database data which is stored in our local mongoDB server to Atlas and integrate Atlas with our project. I will also update the documentation for our API to include the the new functionality of pagination.

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

In this past iteration, I worked on frontend integration of backend endpoints such as posting and deleting a review, and posting images. I also worked on updating the styling and fixing some css container size issues with the image modal. Additionally, i revamped the search page workflow, separating the proximity search from the amenity and activity search.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?

It was tricky staying organized when everyone was working on different tasks. I ran into an issue with S3 accessibility, however that was resolved briefly upon communicating with my team. We also ran into large merge conflicts which should be solved by pushing and merging frequently.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?

Im currently waiting for user support to be implemented. I will then work on editing review integration, polishing up more styling and the user login flow.
