Backend changes:
- Socket.IO: Send last 20 messages on join_event_room
- REST API: Add GET /api/events/:eventId/messages endpoint with pagination
- Support for 'before' cursor-based pagination for loading older messages
Frontend changes:
- Load initial 20 messages when joining event chat
- Implement infinite scroll to load older messages on scroll to top
- Add loading indicator for older messages
- Preserve scroll position when loading older messages
- Add eventsAPI.getMessages() function for pagination
User experience:
- New users see last 20 messages immediately
- Scrolling up automatically loads older messages in batches of 20
- Smooth scrolling experience with position restoration
Note: Messages are encrypted in transit via HTTPS/WSS but stored
as plain text in database (no E2E encryption).
Changes:
- Updated AWS_REGION to eu-central-1 in env examples
- Fixed email verification to return new JWT token with updated emailVerified status
- Added updateUser function to AuthContext for token refresh
- Updated frontend to save new token after email verification
- Fixed variable naming conflict (token vs jwtToken) in verification endpoints
- Changed WSDC ID placeholder from 26997 to 12345
This ensures the verification banner disappears immediately after
email verification without requiring re-login.
Enhanced WSDC registration flow with auto-lookup and account validation:
Backend changes:
- Add accountExists flag to WSDC lookup endpoint
- Check database for existing users with WSDC ID
- Fix Prisma binary target for Alpine Linux Docker containers
Frontend changes:
- Auto-lookup WSDC data after entering 4+ digits (500ms debounce)
- Show live preview dropdown with dancer information
- Display warning if account with WSDC ID already exists
- Block registration and suggest login for existing accounts
- Improve UX with real-time validation feedback
- Add CheckCircle, XCircle, AlertCircle icons for visual feedback
This prevents duplicate WSDC ID registrations and provides immediate
feedback to users, improving the registration experience.
