December 2024 monthly summary for the FunkoShop Backend (roberto-lumbreras/P4-Gijon-Project-FunkoShop-Backend). Focused on delivering reliable order processing, stronger authentication/authorization, and alignment with frontend needs, while improving test coverage and repository hygiene. Business value centers on robust order flows, safer user/role management, and accelerated development through cleaner DTOs and clearer module boundaries.

2024-11 Monthly Summary: Focused on strengthening backend foundations, API clarity, and test coverage across two repositories. Delivered new data models, refactored REST endpoints, and expanded order management to support business workflows. Key features delivered: - PowerMate (Acacia-Sanchez/PowerMate): Implemented Device data model with Device entity (ID, user, name, power, status) and comprehensive unit tests; added power field; included tests for User ID handling and status behavior. - PowerMate API: Scaffolded DeviceController and redesigned endpoints for clearer user-admin oriented usage (switch from /device to /devices, added deviceId usage, and updated PUT/PATCH behavior; simplified dependency injection). - FunkoShop-Backend: Extended Order model with user, orderDate, paymentMethod, orderStatus, amount, productList, price; explicit database table naming as 'orders' to improve schema clarity and reporting. Major bugs fixed / quality improvements: - Completed Device model tests and wired setUserId behavior; addressed test TODOs related to User ID handling; improved test coverage to detect regressions early. - Standardized ID naming (deviceId) in DeviceController and cleaned up endpoint references to reduce integration confusion. - Refactored endpoints and DI patterns to minimize coupling and improve maintainability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Clearer data schemas across device and order domains, reducing ambiguity for UI and analytics. - Safer API surface with improved naming, tests, and dependency handling, enabling more reliable feature delivery and faster onboarding for frontend teams. - Stronger foundation for business workflows in device management and order processing, supporting future automation and reporting. Technologies / skills demonstrated: - Backend REST API design, data modeling, and controller-service patterns. - Unit testing and test coverage expansion for model behavior and edge cases. - Dependency injection simplification and endpoint refactoring for maintainability and clarity.
