Radosław Gierwiało c9beee9a4e feat(admin): add Activity Log backend services (Phase 2)
Core services for activity logging system:

1. ActivityLog Service (backend/src/services/activityLog.js)
   - Centralized logging with fire-and-forget pattern
   - 18 action constants (auth, event, match, admin, chat)
   - Query interface with filtering (date, action, user, category)
   - Socket.IO emission for real-time streaming
   - Statistics and action types endpoints
   - Never throws - logging cannot crash app

2. Request Utility (backend/src/utils/request.js)
   - getClientIP() - Extract client IP from headers/socket
   - Handles X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP proxy headers
   - IPv6-mapped IPv4 conversion

3. Admin Middleware (backend/src/middleware/admin.js)
   - requireAdmin() - Protect admin routes
   - Fresh DB check of isAdmin flag
   - Returns 403 for non-admin users
   - Use after authenticate middleware

Next phases: logging integration points, API endpoints, frontend UI

Testing

Tests are written using:

  • Jest - Test framework
  • Supertest - HTTP assertions

Run tests:

npm test

Current test coverage:

  • Health check endpoint
  • 404 error handling
  • CORS configuration
  • JSON body parsing

Docker

Build and run with Docker Compose (from project root):

docker compose up --build

Backend will be available at:

Next Steps

  1. Basic Express setup
  2. Health check endpoint
  3. Unit tests
  4. PostgreSQL connection
  5. Database schema and migrations
  6. Authentication (JWT + bcrypt)
  7. Socket.IO for real-time chat
  8. WebRTC signaling
