Creation and configuration of backend for online courses platform

The project is a platform for taking online courses. Users register and gain access to courses after successful payment. The platform provides authentication functions, password recovery, user profile management, and interaction with courses. Each course consists of modules, to which summaries (in the form of html pages) can be attached.

Integration with payment service

• Connect the platform to the selected payment service (WayForPay).
• Ensure receipt and processing of payment results notifications (successful and unsuccessful transactions).
• Guarantee the security of user data and payments processing.

User registration after successful payment

• Create an API that will handle payment notifications.
• After successful payment:
  • Create a new user record in the database with a unique login (email).
  • Generate a secure password (minimum length of 8 characters, using letters, numbers, and special characters).
  • Save the login and password in the database.
• Send the user an email with login details (login and generated password).

Sending login details email

• Configure the email sending service.
• Ensure sending an email to the user after successful registration.

Authentication

• Implement an API for user authentication.
• Login with username and password.

Password recovery function

• Implement an API for password recovery request.
• When requesting password recovery:
  • Generate a one-time link to reset the password (the link should have a limited validity period, for example, 24 hours).
  • Send the user an email with a link to the password reset page.
• Implement an API for resetting the password using a one-time link.
• Allow the user to set a new password and save it in the database.

User profile management

• Implement an API to retrieve user profile information.
• Provide the ability to change profile data (e.g., name).
• Implement an API to change the user's password (requires current password and new password).

Course management

• Implement an API to retrieve a list of available courses.
• Implement an API to retrieve detailed information about the course, including modules and attached summaries.
• Create a data structure for courses, modules, and summaries in the database.
• Allow the user to mark a module as "viewed".
• Ensure access control to courses (only users with appropriate permissions can see the content).

Data integrity assurance

• Ensure that each course, module, and summary are associated with specific users and access rights.
• Verify that user profile data, passwords, and courses are processed and stored securely.

Technical requirements

• Programming language: Python
• Framework: Django, Flask, or another agreed upon with the client.
• Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, or another relational DBMS.
• Payment service: WayForPay.
• API documentation: use Swagger or another tool for creating and maintaining documentation.

Documentation requirements

• Document the API (use Swagger or another tool for creating API documentation).
• Provide instructions for deploying and configuring the server.
• Describe the integration process with the payment service.
• Provide instructions for configuring the email sending service.
• Describe the data structure for courses and modules.

Execution terms

• Determine the execution terms for each stage of work (agree with the developer on the details).
