Acceptance Criteria

• Unit tests are implemented for the userUpdate function in the user controller.
  • Test case where the user ID matches the request ID (successful update).
  • Test case where the user ID does not match the request ID (should be blocked).
• Unit tests are implemented for the deleteUser function in the user controller.
  • Test case where the user ID matches the request ID (successful deletion).
  • Test case where the user ID does not match the request ID (should be blocked).

Additional Information

• Refer API documentation at `/api-docs'
• Ensure document updation in database.
• The access control logic should be thoroughly tested to ensure it behaves as expected.
• Consider using testing frameworks such as Mocha and Chai for writing the unit tests.

Environment

• Node.js version: 18.19.0

Expected Result

All unit tests related to access control in user controllers should pass successfully.

Objective:

Implementing React Redux to optimize server load by reducing multiple API calls to the backend in order to enhance performance and improve user experience.

Details:

In the current state of our project, multiple API calls to the backend are contributing to server load. To address this, we propose implementing React Redux to manage state efficiently within the client-side, reducing the need for repeated requests to the server.

Benefits:

1. Reduced Server Load: By managing state locally with React Redux, we aim to minimize the number of API calls to the backend, thereby reducing the server load.

2. Enhanced Performance: Improved client-side state management leads to faster rendering and a more responsive user interface.

3. Better User Experience: Optimizing server load results in a smoother user experience, especially in scenarios with limited network bandwidth or high server traffic.

Tasks:

• Integrate React Redux into the project.
• Identify components requiring state management and connect them to the Redux store.
• Refactor existing API calls to dispatch actions and update the Redux store.
• Test and ensure proper functioning of the application with React Redux.
• Update documentation to reflect changes made.

Additional Considerations:

• Ensure backward compatibility with existing functionality.
• Conduct thorough testing to identify and resolve any potential issues.
• Document the implemented React Redux architecture for future reference.

GitHub Review: Main Branch Protection Rule Issue

Issue Description

The current main branch protection rules in the project repository pose challenges for collaborators in effectively contributing to the codebase. Two specific rules, 'Require a pull request before merging' and 'Require review from Code Owners,' are causing unnecessary obstacles for collaborators. Additionally, the 'Restrict deletions' rule hinders collaborators from managing the code directly.

Problematic Rules:

1. Require a pull request before merging:

   • This rule can impede quick and direct contributions, especially for minor changes or bug fixes. It might be beneficial to evaluate whether this level of restriction is necessary for all contributors.

2. Require review from Code Owners:

   • While code reviews are essential, making it mandatory for Code Owners might lead to delays in the contribution process. Some changes may not necessarily require approval from Code Owners, and this rule might create unnecessary bottlenecks.

Suggested Actions:

• Review 'Require a pull request before merging':

  • Consider relaxing this rule for trusted collaborators to streamline the contribution process. For larger changes, maintain the pull request process, but for minor edits, it may be beneficial to allow direct pushes.

• Review 'Require review from Code Owners':

  • Evaluate the necessity of mandatory Code Owner reviews for every change. This can be adjusted based on the nature and criticality of the changes. Critical changes might still require Code Owner reviews, while minor changes could proceed without this restriction.

• Review 'Restrict deletions' rule:

  • Collaborators often need to make quick adjustments or fixes directly in the main branch. Consider whether the 'Restrict deletions' rule is essential for all collaborators or if it could be adjusted to allow certain users to manage code more efficiently.

Proposed Solution

A balanced approach to branch protection rules would encourage collaboration and make it easier for contributors to make positive contributions. The current strict rules, especially 'Require a pull request before merging' and 'Require review from Code Owners,' may need adjustment to strike the right balance between maintaining code quality and enabling efficient collaboration.

Additional Notes

Feel free to discuss these proposed changes further and gather feedback from the team. The aim is to optimize the contribution process while ensuring the integrity and quality of the codebase.
