Project Overview

The goal of this project is to build a full-stack web application that allows users to participate
in an online bidding system. This application should include user authentication, auction
item listing, bidding functionality, and a user-friendly interface for managing and viewing
bids. The exercise is designed to assess the candidate's ability to design, implement, and
document a complete web application.

Develop a full-stack web application with features including user authentication, auction
item management, and bidding functionality, aiming to evaluate the candidate's skills in
end-to-end application development.

Goals

User Goals

 Users can easily sign up, log in, and manage their auction activities.
 Users can create, view, update, and delete auction items.
 Users can participate in auctions by placing and tracking bids.

Non-Goals

 Does not include advanced auction features like auto-bidding.


 Does not require a complex recommendation system for auction items.

User Stories

1. User Registration and Authentication


o As a user, I want to register with my username, email, and password so that I
can create an account.
o As a user, I want to log in with my email and password so that I can access my
account.
2. Auction Management
o As a user, I want to create auction items with a title, description, starting bid,
and end date so that I can sell items.
o As a user, I want to view all available auction items so that I can find items to
bid on.
o As a user, I want to update my auction items so that I can correct any
mistakes or add new information.
o As a user, I want to delete my auction items so that I can remove items I no
longer wish to sell.
3. Bidding Functionality
o As a user, I want to place bids on auction items so that I can participate in
auctions.
o As a user, I want to view the current highest bid and bid history for an auction
item so that I can make informed bidding decisions.
o As a user, I want to receive notifications when I am outbid so that I can decide
if I want to place a higher bid.
4. User Interface
o As a user, I want a home page that displays a list of auction items with their
current highest bids so that I can quickly browse available items.
o As a user, I want an auction item page that shows detailed information and
bid history so that I can decide if I want to place a bid.
o As a user, I want a profile page where I can manage my information and view
my auction activities so that I can keep track of my participation.

Narrative

Imagine logging into a seamless and intuitive web application where you can easily
participate in online auctions. You start by creating an account, and within minutes, you're
browsing a variety of auction items. You find something you like, place a bid, and get
notified immediately when someone outbids you. Managing your auction items is just as
simple – you can create, update, or delete listings with a few clicks. This application ensures
a smooth, engaging, and secure auction experience, making online bidding both fun and
hassle-free.

Success Metrics

 User Engagement: Number of active users, number of auctions created, and bids
placed.
 Functionality: All specified features work correctly without errors.
 User Experience: User satisfaction ratings, low bounce rate on key pages.
 Code Quality: Clean, well-organized code with meaningful commit messages.

Technical Considerations

Front-End

 Use a modern front-end framework (React, Angular, or Vue).


 Ensure the UI is responsive and user-friendly.
 Implement form validation for user inputs.

Back-End

 Use Node.js with Express to build the RESTful API.


 Implement API endpoints for user registration, login, auction item management, and
bidding functionality.

Database

 Use a relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or a NoSQL database (MongoDB).


 Design appropriate schemas/models for users, auction items, and bids.
 Use ORM/ODM for database operations (Sequelize for SQL, Mongoose for MongoDB).

Security

 Use bcrypt for password hashing.


 Ensure secure handling of user authentication with JWT.

Documentation

 Provide API documentation (using Swagger or markdown).


 Document the database schema and any design decisions.
 Include a README file with setup instructions.

Deployment (Optional)

 Deploy the application on a cloud platform.


 Provide a live demo URL if deployed.
