🚀 API Endpoints

GET    /api/profile           # Get user profile
PATCH  /api/profile           # Update profile information  
POST   /api/profile/avatar    # Upload profile picture
DELETE /api/profile/avatar    # Remove profile picture

📊 Database Schema Changes

  • Repository: Data access via TypeORM
  • DTOs: Input validation and type safety
  • Interfaces: Response type definitions

Integration Points:

  • CloudinaryModule: Image upload and management
  • AuthModule: JWT authentication and guards
  • UsersModule: User entity and database operations

📋 Setup Instructions

1. Environment Configuration

Add to .env file:

CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloudinary_cloud_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_cloudinary_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_cloudinary_api_secret
CLOUDINARY_FOLDER=profile-pictures

2. Database Migration

npm run typeorm:run-migrations

3. Install Dependencies

npm install

4. Start Application

npm run start:dev

🧪 Testing

Unit Tests Coverage:

  • ✅ Service methods with mocked dependencies
  • ✅ Error handling scenarios
  • ✅ Validation edge cases
  • ✅ File upload workflows
  • ✅ Authentication and authorization

Run Tests:

npm run test user-profile
npm run test:cov user-profile

📖 Usage Examples

Frontend Integration:

// Get profile
const profile = await fetch('/api/profile', {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
});

// Update profile  
const updated = await fetch('/api/profile', {
  method: 'PATCH',
  headers: { 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` 
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ firstname: 'John', phone: '+1234567890' })
});

// Upload avatar
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', file);
const avatar = await fetch('/api/profile/avatar', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
  body: formData
});

🔄 Error Handling

HTTP Status Codes:

  • 200 OK: Success

  • 401 Unauthorized: Authentication required
  • 404 Not Found: User not found
  • 409 Conflict: Email/username exists
  • 413 Payload Too Large: File too large

Error Response Format:

{
  "statusCode": 400,
  "message": "Validation failed",
  "error": "Bad Request"
}
