## 🔑 API Endpoints Used

**Base URL:** `http://localhost:3000`

### Authentication
- `POST /api/auth/login` - Login user
- `POST /api/auth/register` - Register new user
- `GET /api/auth/profile` - Get user profile (authenticated)
- `POST /api/auth/refresh` - Refresh token (authenticated)

### Products (Auto-authenticated)
- `GET /api/products` - Get all products with pagination
- `GET /api/products/{id}` - Get single product
- `GET /api/products/search?q={query}` - Search products
- `GET /api/products/category/{categoryId}` - Get products by category

### Categories (Public)
- `GET /api/categories` - Get all categories
- `GET /api/categories/{id}` - Get single category
- `GET /api/categories/{id}/products` - Get category with products

---

## 🚀 Quick Start Guide

### 1. Start Your Backend
```bash
# Make sure your NestJS backend is running
# at http://localhost:3000
npm run start:dev
```

### 2. Run the App
```bash
flutter run
```

### 3. Test Login
Use credentials from your backend:
```
Email: admin@retailpos.com
Password: Admin123!
```

---

## 💡 How It Works

### Automatic Bearer Token Flow

```
┌─────────────┐
│ User Logs In │
└──────┬──────┘
       │
       ▼
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Token Saved to Keychain │
└──────┬──────────────────┘
       │
       ▼
┌────────────────────────┐
│ Token Set in DioClient │
└──────┬─────────────────┘
       │
       ▼
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ALL Future API Calls Include:     │
│ Authorization: Bearer {your-token} │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Key Point:** After login, you NEVER need to manually add tokens. The Dio interceptor handles it automatically!

## 📝 Quick Usage Examples

### Login with Remember Me
```dart
await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).login(
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'Password123!',
  rememberMe: true,  // ✅ Enable auto-login on app restart
);
```

### Check Authentication
```dart
final isAuthenticated = ref.watch(isAuthenticatedProvider);
final user = ref.watch(currentUserProvider);

if (isAuthenticated && user != null) {
  print('Welcome ${user.name}!');
  if (user.isAdmin) {
    // Show admin features
  }
}
```

### Logout
```dart
await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).logout();
// Token cleared, user redirected to login
```

### Protected Routes
```dart
// Use AuthWrapper in your app
AuthWrapper(
  child: HomePage(), // Your main authenticated app
)
```

**For more examples, see:** [AUTH_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md](AUTH_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md)

## 🔑 Remember Me & Auto-Login Feature

### How It Works

**Remember Me Checked ✅:**
```
Login → Token saved to SecureStorage (persistent)
     → App closes and reopens
     → Token loaded automatically
     → User auto-logged in (no login screen)
```

**Remember Me Unchecked ❌:**
```
Login → Token NOT saved (session only)
     → App closes and reopens
     → No token found
     → User sees login page (must login again)
```

### Testing Remember Me

**Test 1: With Remember Me**
```bash
1. flutter run
2. Login with Remember Me CHECKED ✅
3. Press 'R' to hot restart (or close and reopen app)
4. Expected: Auto-login to MainScreen (no login page)
```

**Test 2: Without Remember Me**
```bash
1. Logout from Settings
2. Login with Remember Me UNCHECKED ❌
3. Press 'R' to hot restart
4. Expected: Shows LoginPage (must login again)
```

### Security

- iOS: Uses **Keychain** (encrypted, secure)
- Android: Uses **EncryptedSharedPreferences** (encrypted)
- Token is encrypted at rest on device
- Session-only mode available for shared devices (uncheck Remember Me)

---

---

## 🔧 Configuration

### Update Base URL
If your backend is not at `localhost:3000`:

```dart
// lib/core/constants/api_constants.dart
static const String baseUrl = 'YOUR_API_URL_HERE';
// Example: 'https://api.yourapp.com'
```

### Default Test Credentials
Create a test user in your backend:
```json
{
  "name": "Test User",
  "email": "test@retailpos.com",
  "password": "Test123!",
  "roles": ["user"]
}
```

---

## 🎯 Next Steps

### 1. Start Backend
```bash
cd your-nestjs-backend
npm run start:dev
```

### 2. Test Login Flow
```bash
flutter run
# Navigate to login
# Enter credentials
# Verify successful login
```

### 3. Test API Calls
- Products should load from backend
- Categories should load from backend
- All calls should include bearer token

### 4. (Optional) Customize UI
- Update colors in theme
- Modify login/register forms
- Add branding/logo

## 📞 Troubleshooting

For detailed troubleshooting guide, see [AUTH_TROUBLESHOOTING.md](AUTH_TROUBLESHOOTING.md).

**Common issues:**
- Connection refused → Ensure backend is running at `http://localhost:3000`
- Invalid token → Token expired, logout and login again
- Auto-login not working → Check Remember Me was checked during login
- Token not in requests → Verify `DioClient.setAuthToken()` was called

---

## ✅ Checklist

Before using authentication:
- [x] Backend running at correct URL
- [x] API endpoints match Swagger spec
- [x] flutter_secure_storage permissions (iOS: Keychain)
- [x] Internet permissions (Android: AndroidManifest.xml)
- [x] CORS configured (if using web)
