Architecture¶

This document provides a technical overview of the AiluroCamp Learning Management System architecture.

System Design¶

AiluroCamp is built using a modern web application architecture:

• Frontend: Next.js with React and TypeScript
• Backend: Next.js API routes (serverless functions)
• Database: MongoDB with Mongoose ODM
• Authentication: NextAuth.js with JWT

Core Components¶

Frontend Components¶

• Layout Components: Shared UI elements like headers, footers, and navigation
• Page Components: Main page content for different routes
• Feature Components: Reusable components for specific features
• UI Components: Basic UI elements like buttons, forms, and cards

Backend Components¶

• API Routes: Serverless functions for handling API requests
• Authentication: User authentication and authorization
• Database Models: Mongoose schemas for data modeling
• Middleware: Request processing and validation

Data Flow¶

1. User interacts with the frontend
2. Frontend makes API requests to the backend
3. Backend validates the request and authenticates the user
4. Backend interacts with the database
5. Backend returns data to the frontend
6. Frontend updates the UI

Security Considerations¶

• Authentication: JWT-based authentication with NextAuth.js
• Authorization: Role-based access control
• Data Validation: Input validation on both client and server
• HTTPS: Secure communication between client and server
• Environment Variables: Secure storage of sensitive information
