Frontend changes:
- Installed socket.io-client for WebSocket connections
- Created socket service layer for connection management
- Updated EventChatPage with real-time messaging
- Updated MatchChatPage with real-time private chat
- Added connection status indicators (● Connected/Disconnected)
- Disabled message input when not connected
Infrastructure:
- Updated nginx config to proxy WebSocket connections at /socket.io
- Added Upgrade and Connection headers for WebSocket support
- Set long timeouts (7d) for persistent WebSocket connections
Key features:
- JWT-authenticated socket connections
- Room-based architecture for events and matches
- Real-time message broadcasting
- Active users list with automatic updates
- Automatic cleanup on disconnect
- Message persistence in database
Test coverage:
- 12 tests passing (authentication, event rooms, match rooms, disconnect, errors)
- Socket.IO module: 89.13% statements, 81.81% branches, 91.66% functions
- Overall coverage: 81.19%
Phase 1, Step 4 completed. Ready for Phase 2 (Core Features).
Phase 1 - Step 2: PostgreSQL Setup
**Infrastructure:**
- Add PostgreSQL 15 Alpine container to docker-compose.yml
- Configure persistent volume for database data
- Update backend Dockerfile with OpenSSL for Prisma compatibility
**Database Schema (Prisma):**
- 6 tables: users, events, chat_rooms, messages, matches, ratings
- Foreign key relationships and cascading deletes
- Performance indexes on frequently queried columns
- Unique constraints for data integrity
**Prisma Setup:**
- Prisma Client for database queries
- Migration system with initial migration
- Seed script with 4 test events and chat rooms
- Database connection utility with singleton pattern
**API Implementation:**
- GET /api/events - List all events (with filtering and sorting)
- GET /api/events/:id - Get single event with relations
- Database connection test on server startup
- Graceful database disconnect on shutdown
**Seed Data:**
- Warsaw Dance Festival 2025
- Swing Camp Barcelona 2025
- Blues Week Herräng 2025
- Krakow Swing Connection 2025
**Testing:**
- Database connection verified ✅
- API endpoints returning data from PostgreSQL ✅
- Migrations applied successfully ✅
All systems operational 🚀
- Add SESSION_CONTEXT.md: ultra-compact context for new sessions (~500 lines)
- Add ARCHITECTURE.md: detailed technical specs and implementation details
- Add COMPLETED.md: archive of completed tasks (Phase 0)
- Add RESOURCES.md: learning resources and documentation links
- Refactor CONTEXT.md: keep only core project info and guidelines
- Refactor TODO.md: keep only active tasks and next steps
- Update README.md: reference new documentation structure
This change reduces token usage when resuming sessions by ~60% while maintaining complete project documentation in separate, well-organized files.
- Docker Compose setup with nginx reverse proxy and frontend service
- React + Vite + Tailwind CSS configuration
- Complete mockup of all application views:
- Authentication (login/register)
- Events list and selection
- Event chat with matchmaking
- 1:1 private chat with WebRTC P2P video transfer mockup
- Partner rating system
- Collaboration history
- Mock data for users, events, messages, matches, and ratings
- All UI text and messages in English
- Project documentation (CONTEXT.md, TODO.md, README.md, QUICKSTART.md)
