Inventory Management System Server

api

A legacy Express and MongoDB API organizing pharmacy and non-pharmacy products, orders, returns, customers, employees, and supplier records into resource routers.

Client: nDevers · View client experience

Role
Inventory resource routing and database CRUD development
Scope
Express resource endpoints, MongoDB collection operations, and inventory-related record organization
Status
Legacy learning/reference project; current runtime and production readiness unverified

Problem

Inventory administration involves more than product lists: orders, returns, supplier records, and setup data need separate resource paths and persistent records.

Constraints

  1. C1

    The source lacks authentication and authorization middleware for data-changing endpoints.

  2. C2

    Purchase paths mount order routers in the inspected entry point, so distinct purchase behavior is not established.

  3. C3

    Legacy connection configuration requires remediation, and no automated tests or working deployment were verified.

Architecture

A legacy Express and MongoDB API organizing pharmacy and non-pharmacy products, orders, returns, customers, employees, and supplier records into resource routers.

01

HTTP composition

An Express entry point mounts product, order, setup, people, return, and supplier routers with JSON parsing and CORS.

02

Resource routers

Pharmacy and non-pharmacy routes are grouped separately; other modules handle related inventory records.

03

MongoDB operations

The inspected product router uses collection reads, insertOne, updateOne, and deleteOne directly from request handlers.

Decisions

D1

Organize endpoints by resource

Dedicated route prefixes separate products from people, returns, and supplier records.

D2

Split product domains

Pharmacy and non-pharmacy routers provide separate entry points for the two inventory categories.

D3

Keep the legacy implementation boundary explicit

Direct database calls demonstrate CRUD implementation without implying transactional inventory accounting or production access control.

Contribution

  • Composed resource routers in the Express application.
  • Implemented MongoDB product reads, creates, updates, and deletes.
  • Organized inventory-related setup, people, returns, and supplier endpoints.

Outcomes

  • The source provides inspectable resource-level MongoDB CRUD code.
  • The API structure covers several related inventory record types.
  • The project demonstrates early backend implementation; security, transaction behavior, and deployment remain unverified.

Verified stack

  • JavaScript
  • Node.js
  • Express.js
  • MongoDB
