Freelancer Profile Creation and Editing

[Cybermaxi7]

Overview

Enable freelancers to create, update, and fetch their profiles. This will enhance the user experience and improve visibility to recruiters. 📈

Background

• Freelancers should have the ability to manage their profiles including essential fields such as name, bio, skills, experience, profile image, etc.
• Profile management is restricted to authorized freelancer users only.

Specifications

• Fields:
  • Name
  • Bio
  • Skills
  • Experience
  • Profile image (and others as needed)
• Route Protection:
  • Only freelancers are permitted to update their profile.
• Profile Fetching:
  • Users can fetch their own profile.

Tasks

1. Create necessary DTOs and extend the user entity to incorporate profile fields.
2. Implement the profile service logic within the auth module.
3. Build and secure profile endpoints in the auth controller.
4. Ensure updates and fetching of the profile are handled with proper route protection.

Impacted Files

• src/auth/auth.service.ts
• src/auth/auth.controller.ts
• src/auth/dto/update-profile.dto.ts
• src/auth/entities/user.entity.ts

Technical Considerations

• Follow the existing patterns in the auth module as outlined in the README.
• Ensure robust error handling and secure access to profile routes.

Contribution Guidelines

• Assignment is required before PR submission.
• Expected timeframe: 3–5 days.
• PR description must include: Close #5 to auto-close the issue when merged.
  Follow the contribution guide for detailed instructions.

Acceptance Criteria

• Freelancers are able to manage (create, update, and fetch) their profiles.
• Profile update and fetching is strictly limited to authenticated freelancer users.
• All changes follow the existing project coding standards and patterns.

Happy coding! 🚀

Hello, I'm Jefferson, a backend engineer based in Cameroon with hands-on experience in building robust and secure APIs. My tech stack includes Node.js, NestJS, Express, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, TypeORM, and JWT authentication.

I’m available to implement the Freelancer Profile Management feature as outlined. Below is my approach:

Implementation Plan

1. Entity Extension

   • Extend the existing User entity (user.entity.ts) to include the following fields:
     • name, bio, skills, experience, profileImage, and any additional necessary fields.

2. DTO Creation

   • Create update-profile.dto.ts under the auth/dto directory to handle profile update payload validation.

3. Service Logic

   • Add logic in auth.service.ts to:
     • Update authenticated freelancer's profile.
     • Fetch their own profile.
     • Handle errors and edge cases securely.

4. Controller Routes

   • Introduce new routes in auth.controller.ts:
     • GET /auth/profile – fetch current user's profile.
     • PATCH /auth/profile – update current user's profile.
   • Apply guards to ensure only authenticated freelancers can access these endpoints.

5. Security & Compliance

   • Leverage existing JWT auth guards and role checks to restrict access.
   • Follow current project patterns as described in the README.
   • Ensure all validations and error responses are consistent with the existing codebase.

Deliverables

• Extended User entity with profile fields.
• update-profile.dto.ts for update validation.
• Secure service and controller logic for profile creation, updating, and retrieval.
• Fully protected endpoints limited to authenticated freelancers.

Timeline

Estimated completion time: 36 hours.

Looking forward to your assignment.
