# Authentication System Implementation Summary

## Completed Components

### 1. Auth Module (`src/modules/auth/`)
- **AuthController** - Register, Login, Profile, Refresh endpoints
- **AuthService** - User validation, JWT generation, password hashing
- **DTOs** - LoginDto, RegisterDto, AuthResponseDto
- **Strategies** - JwtStrategy, LocalStrategy (Passport.js)
- **Guards** - JwtAuthGuard, LocalAuthGuard
- **Interfaces** - JwtPayload interface

### 2. Users Module (`src/modules/users/`)
- **UsersController** - CRUD operations (Admin only)
- **UsersService** - Business logic, validation
- **UsersRepository** - Data access layer
- **User Entity** - TypeORM entity with UserRole enum
- **DTOs** - CreateUserDto, UpdateUserDto, UserResponseDto

### 3. Common Module (`src/common/`)
- **Decorators:**
  - `@CurrentUser()` - Extract authenticated user
  - `@Public()` - Mark routes as public
  - `@Roles(...)` - Specify required roles

- **Guards:**
  - `JwtAuthGuard` - Global JWT authentication (respects @Public)
  - `RolesGuard` - Role-based access control

### 4. Database
- **Migration** - CreateUsersTable migration
- **Seed** - Default users (Admin, Manager, Cashier)
- **DataSource** - TypeORM configuration

### 5. Configuration
- **Environment Variables** - JWT_SECRET, DB config
- **JWT Config** - Token expiration, secret
- **Database Config** - PostgreSQL connection

    "password": "Test123!"
  }'
```

    "email": "admin@retailpos.com",
    "password": "Admin123!"
  }'
```

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN"
```

---

## Usage Examples

### Protecting a Controller
```typescript
@Controller('products')
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)  // Protect entire controller
export class ProductsController {
  // All routes require authentication
}
```

### Public Route
```typescript
@Get('products')
@Public()  // Skip authentication
async findAll() {
  return this.productsService.findAll();
}
```

### Role-Based Authorization
```typescript
@Post('products')
@Roles(UserRole.ADMIN, UserRole.MANAGER)  // Only admin and manager
async create(@Body() dto: CreateProductDto) {
  return this.productsService.create(dto);
}
```

### Get Current User
```typescript
@Get('profile')
async getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: User) {
  // user contains: id, email, name, roles
  return user;
}
```

---

## Implementation Details

### Password Hashing
- Passwords are hashed in **AuthService.register()** using bcrypt
- Hash rounds: 10
- Validation: AuthService.validateUser() uses bcrypt.compare()

### JWT Token Structure
```json
{
  "sub": "user-uuid",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "roles": ["admin"],
  "iat": 1704470400,
  "exp": 1704556800
}
```

### Global Guards
Registered in `app.module.ts`:
1. **JwtAuthGuard** - Applied to all routes, respects @Public()
2. **RolesGuard** - Checks @Roles() decorator

### Error Handling
- 400: Validation failed
- 401: Unauthorized (invalid credentials)
- 403: Forbidden (insufficient permissions)
- 409: Conflict (email already exists)
- 404: Not found

---

## Best Practices Implemented

1. Password never returned in responses (@Exclude)
2. Proper separation of concerns (Controller → Service → Repository)
3. DTO validation with class-validator
4. Repository pattern for data access
5. Global guards for authentication
6. Role-based access control
7. Environment-based configuration
8. Swagger API documentation
9. TypeScript strict mode
10. Error handling and proper HTTP status codes

---

## Next Steps / Enhancements

1. **Refresh Token Implementation**
   - Add refresh_token table
   - Implement token rotation
   - Add /auth/logout endpoint

2. **Email Verification**
   - Send verification email on registration
   - Add email_verified flag
   - Create verification endpoint

3. **Password Reset**
   - Forgot password flow
   - Reset token generation
   - Password reset endpoint

4. **Two-Factor Authentication**
   - TOTP implementation
   - QR code generation
   - 2FA verification

5. **Rate Limiting**
   - Add @Throttle() to auth endpoints
   - Implement IP-based rate limiting
   - Add account lockout after failed attempts

6. **Audit Logging**
   - Log all authentication events
   - Track login attempts
   - Monitor suspicious activity

7. **Session Management**
   - Track active sessions
   - Implement force logout
   - Session timeout handling

## Documentation

- **AUTH_SYSTEM.md** - Complete authentication system documentation
- **Swagger Docs** - Interactive API documentation at `/api/docs`
- **Code Comments** - Inline documentation for all components

---

## Summary

The authentication system is fully implemented and ready for use. All endpoints are functional, secure, and documented. The system follows NestJS best practices and provides a solid foundation for building the rest of the Retail POS API.

### Key Achievements:
- JWT authentication with Passport.js
- Role-based access control (4 roles)
- Secure password handling
- Global authentication guards
- Comprehensive API documentation
- Database migrations and seeds
- Proper error handling
- TypeScript type safety
- Production-ready security features

The system is ready for integration with Products, Categories, Transactions, and Sync modules.
