# LMS Parallel Development Integration Guide

## 📋 Overview

This guide ensures seamless integration of modules developed by Geetanjali, Raj, Yash, Yashika, and
Kumkum for the RISE LMS project.

## 🎯 Critical Success Factors

1. Shared Database Schema Management

*Owner: Tech Lead (suggest appointing one) *

Core Entities Schema (Must be agreed upon FIRST)

sql

-- Users table (Foundation for all modules)

CREATE TABLE users (

id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,

username VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE,

password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,

first_name VARCHAR(100),

last_name VARCHAR(100),

role ENUM('admin', 'instructor', 'student') NOT NULL,

is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,

created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

);
-- Courses table (Foundation for most modules)

CREATE TABLE courses (

id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,

description TEXT,

instructor_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

category VARCHAR(100),

status ENUM('draft', 'published', 'archived') DEFAULT 'draft',

start_date DATE,

end_date DATE,

created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

FOREIGN KEY (instructor_id) REFERENCES users(id)

);

-- Enrollments table (Critical intersection)

CREATE TABLE enrollments (

id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

user_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

course_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

enrollment_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

status ENUM('active', 'completed', 'dropped') DEFAULT 'active',

progress_percentage DECIMAL(5,2) DEFAULT 0.00,

FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id),

FOREIGN KEY (course_id) REFERENCES courses(id),

);

Module-Specific Tables with Dependencies

sql

-- Assessments (Kumkum's module)

CREATE TABLE assessments (

id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

course_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,

type ENUM('quiz', 'assignment') NOT NULL,

max_score DECIMAL(5,2),

FOREIGN KEY (course_id) REFERENCES courses(id)

);

-- Attendance (Raj's module)

CREATE TABLE attendance_sessions (

id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

course_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

session_date DATE NOT NULL,

qr_code VARCHAR(255),

FOREIGN KEY (course_id) REFERENCES courses(id)

);
-- Certificates (Yashika's module - depends on course completion)

CREATE TABLE certificates (

id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,

user_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

course_id BIGINT NOT NULL,

certificate_url VARCHAR(500),

issued_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id),

FOREIGN KEY (course_id) REFERENCES courses(id)

);

### 2. API Contract Definitions

#### User Management APIs (Geetanjali)

javascript

// POST /api/users (Manual creation)

"email": "string",

"username": "string",

"password": "string",

"role": "admin|instructor|student",

"profile": {...}

}
// POST /api/users/bulk (Bulk creation)

"users": [...],

"notify_users": boolean

// GET /api/users/{id}

// PUT /api/users/{id}

// DELETE /api/users/{id}

Course Management APIs (Yashika)

javascript

// POST /api/courses

"title": "string",

"description": "string",

"instructor_id": number,

"category": "string",

"schedule": {...}

// GET /api/courses/{id}/enrollment-status/{user_id}

// POST /api/courses/{id}/content

// GET /api/courses/{id}/progress/{user_id}
Assessment APIs (Kumkum)

javascript

// POST /api/assessments

"course_id": number,

"title": "string",

"questions": [...],

"settings": {...}

// POST /api/assessments/{id}/submissions

// GET /api/assessments/{id}/grades/{user_id}

Attendance APIs (Raj)

javascript

// POST /api/attendance/sessions

"course_id": number,

"session_date": "date",

"students": [...]

}
// GET /api/attendance/courses/{course_id}/summary

// POST /api/attendance/qr-scan

3. Shared Data Models & Interfaces

TypeScript Interfaces (Recommend using across all modules)

typescript

// Core interfaces

interface User {

id: number;

email: string;

username?: string;

role: 'admin' | 'instructor' | 'student';

profile?: UserProfile;

isActive: boolean;

interface Course {

id: number;

title: string;

description?: string;

instructorId: number;

category?: string;

status: 'draft' | 'published' | 'archived';

interface Enrollment {

id: number;

userId: number;

courseId: number;

status: 'active' | 'completed' | 'dropped';

progressPercentage: number;

enrollmentDate: Date;

// Assessment interfaces (for Kumkum)

interface Assessment {

id: number;

courseId: number;

title: string;

type: 'quiz' | 'assignment';

maxScore?: number;

questions: Question[];

// Certificate interfaces (for Yashika)

interface Certificate {

id: number;
 userId: number;

courseId: number;

templateId: number;

issuedDate: Date;

verificationCode: string;

4. Integration Points & Dependencies

Critical Dependencies Map

User Management (Geetanjali) → Foundation for ALL modules

Course Management (Yashika) → Required by Assessment, Attendance, Certificates

Enrollment Management (Geetanjali) → Required by all course-related modules

Assessment (Kumkum) ← Depends on: Users, Courses, Enrollments

Attendance (Raj) ← Depends on: Users, Courses, Enrollments

Certificate (Yashika) ← Depends on: Users, Courses, Completion data

Integration Testing Points

1. *User-Course Integration*: Test user enrollment in courses

3. *Course-Attendance Integration*: Test attendance tracking for enrolled students

4. *Assessment-Certificate Integration*: Test certificate generation upon completion

5. Shared Services & Utilities

Common Services (Create shared library)

javascript

// EmailService (shared across modules)

class EmailService {

sendWelcomeEmail(user) { /* ... */ }

sendEnrollmentConfirmation(user, course) { /* ... */ }

sendCertificateNotification(user, certificate) { /* ... */ }

// NotificationService

class NotificationService {

notify(userId, type, message) { /* ... */ }

broadcastToRole(role, message) { /* ... */ }

// FileStorageService

class FileStorageService {

upload(file, folder) { /* ... */ }

getUrl(filePath) { /* ... */ }
 delete(filePath) { /* ... */ }

// ValidationService

class ValidationService {

validateEmail(email) { /* ... */ }

validateUserRole(userId, requiredRole) { /* ... */ }

validateCourseAccess(userId, courseId) { /* ... */ }

6. Development Workflow

Daily Sync Requirements
