Backend System Overview

1. Authentication and Authorization

• Integration with Firebase Admin: Implement backend services using Firebase Admin SDK to manage users, roles, and permissions.
• Role-Based Authentication: Define four distinct roles: Admin, Vendor, Client, and Driver.
• Advanced Middleware: Create middleware functions to verify user roles and enforce access control for protected routes.

2. User Management

• Registration and Profiles: Enable registration for different user roles, each with a unique set of data fields and validation rules.
• Implement JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure, token-based user authentication.
• Use password encryption techniques (such as bcrypt) to ensure the safety of user credentials.
• User CRUD Operations: Allow for adding, updating, and retrieving user information.
• Address Management: Provide functionality for users to add, update, and retrieve addresses.
• Implement logic to maintain a single default address per user, with the ability to change the default setting.

3. Vendor-Specific Features

• Vendor Registration: Set up a registration process for vendors, including the collection of necessary information and validation.
• Vendor Middleware: Ensure that only vendors can access routes for managing their restaurant and food items.
• Food Management: Develop endpoints for vendors to upload and manage their food items.

4. Recommendations and Dynamic Content

• Location-Based Restaurant Recommendations: Create endpoints that suggest restaurants to clients based on their current location.
• Dynamic Food Recommendations: Develop algorithms to recommend food items to users also based on user location.
• Preparation and Delivery Time: Introduce logic to recommend food that can be prepared and delivered in the shortest possible time, considering user location.

5. Shopping Cart and Order Processing

• Cart Management: Allow users to add and remove items from the cart.
• Enable users to adjust the quantity of cart items.
• Update and return the cart count whenever changes are made to the cart.
• Order Creation and Management: Provide functionality for users to create orders and customize them with add-ons.
• Update orders based on payment and delivery status.

6. Categories and Recommendations

• Category Management: Allow admins to add, update, and delete categories of food.
• Category Recommendations: Use aggregation pipelines to offer random category recommendations to users.

7. Driver-Specific Functionality

• Driver Registration and Restrictions: Establish registration for drivers and ensure middleware restricts them to driver-related tasks.
