App Architecture for TeamApp 🏗️

The App Architecture for TeamApp is designed with scalability, maintainability, and flexibility in mind. The architecture is divided into three primary layers: Frontend, Backend, and Database.

1. Frontend (Client-Side)

Tech Stack:

  • React.js: Used for building interactive and dynamic UI components.
  • TypeScript: Ensures type safety and better development experience.
  • Tailwind CSS: Utility-first CSS framework for quick UI development.

Structure:

  • Pages: Pages represent different views in the app (e.g., Dashboard, Team Creation, Profile).
  • Components: Reusable UI components (e.g., buttons, form elements, modals).
  • State Management: Local state managed through React hooks. Global state handled using context providers or Redux (if necessary).

2. Backend (Server-Side)

Tech Stack:

  • Express.js: Lightweight and fast framework for building RESTful APIs.
  • MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing user, team, task, and other dynamic data.
  • JWT: Used for secure and stateless authentication.

Structure:

  • Controllers: Handle the logic for different API endpoints.
  • Models: Mongoose schemas to model data for users, teams, tasks, roles, etc.
  • Routes: API routes for different endpoints (e.g., /teams, /tasks, /users).
  • Middleware: Authentication middleware, error handling, and request validation.
  • Services: Business logic for handling points system, leaderboard calculations, etc.

3. Database

Tech Stack:

  • MongoDB: The NoSQL database chosen for flexible data storage and scalability.
  • Mongoose: Object Data Modeling (ODM) library to manage relationships and interactions with MongoDB.

Structure:

  • Users Collection: Stores user profiles, roles, and other related information.
  • Teams Collection: Stores team information and nested sub-teams.
  • Tasks Collection: Stores tasks and assignments related to points and task tracking.
  • Points System: A separate collection for storing points transactions and history.
  • Leaderboards: Stores leaderboard data for ranking members based on points.

4. Communication & Real-Time Features

  • Chat System: Uses WebSockets (or a similar library like Socket.io) for real-time chat communication.
  • Notifications: Real-time notifications for task assignments, updates, and messages.

5. Deployment

  • Docker: The entire application (frontend, backend, database) will be containerized using Docker for easy deployment across environments.

  • CI/CD: Future continuous integration and deployment pipelines will be set up to automate testing and deployment.
