Project Plan:
Backend Development (Node.js):
1. Planning and Requirement Analysis (1 month)
Identify and finalize the endpoints required for:
o Admin functionalities (Role/User/Work/Sanction/Log Management)
o User Panel features (Dashboard, Work Management, Reporting)
o General pages (Static content and authentication).
Define the database schema and relations.
2. Technology Setup (2 weeks)
Set up Node.js and Express.js as the primary backend framework.
Choose a database (MongoDB or PostgreSQL) based on scalability and reporting needs.
Implement database ORM/ODM (e.g., Sequelize or Mongoose).
Set up necessary middleware (CORS, authentication, request logging).
3. Development Phase (5 months)
Modules:
1. Authentication and Role Management:
o Aadhaar-based authentication.
o Secure user login/logout and password encryption.
o Role-based access control (RBAC).
2. Admin Panel:
o CRUD APIs for user, work, sanction, and department management.
o Global settings management (language, configurations).
o Log Module: Maintain activity logs for all users and admin actions.
3. User Panel:
o API for work overview and details.
o Pie charts and graphical data endpoints.
o Sanction workflow management.
o Inspection data upload (photos, videos, live comments).
4. Fund Database:
o APIs for fund transaction records and updates.
o Revenue and expenditure modules.
5. Reporting:
o Dynamic report generation (filterable and exportable as Excel, PDF, PPT).
o Predefined templates for reports (inspection, fund status, etc.).
6. Static Pages:
o APIs for content like "About Us", "Achievements", etc.
4. Integration and Testing (1 month)
Test all API endpoints with Postman.
Conduct load testing and identify scalability bottlenecks.
Implement unit tests (Mocha, Chai, Jest).
5. Deployment (2 weeks)
Deploy the backend to a cloud platform (Bhamashah data centre).
Set up CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and updates.
6. Support and Maintenance (3 months post-deployment)
Fix any bugs reported during production.
Implement future enhancements or minor tweaks.
