Please read below for design explanation:
Local Database Configuration:
- schema : bank
- tables are outlined in PDF I sent to Thomas
- The users table is basically the mapper which has 3 sub tables:
- should have last_updated_by, but no real interface with auth currently
- info : for customer details like address. This would obviously be extended to more columns in reality, whatever banks ask for these days...
- account : This also maps to the user which has the main bank information like balance. Key thing to note is that a user may have multiple accounts so thats why this is separated.
- permissions: This is to allow functionality of the bonus of setting limits to withdrawals and deposits. Would add another POST for adding a second account.
POST:
- A user requires certain parameters to get valid entries in database. An error is sent for invalid input. Can also check if, for instance, a given email is an actual email, either in frontend or here.
- Transaction sort of setup with inserting into users and info
GET:
- Currently return all particular accounts for given user. Spec says to return one account, but may be the case that a user has many, and so result is an array of accounts for that user.
DEPOSIT/WITHDRAW:
- Dynamic mehthod for both actions.
- Commented areas to perhaps use the helper functions to do the verifications for bonus number 3.
BONUS: The nice DB structure allows accessing permissions and modulating the helpers for checking account balance and also checking if a certain deposit/withdraw is within the user's limits. Should call these functions in practically every relevant HTTP request made.
**Note: The permissions table in the diagram I sent by email does not and should include the columns for lower and upper limits for the account, but my local database does.
