What's Stubbed (To Be Implemented in Later Phases)
- Template rendering (Phase 2)
- Email adapter enhancement (Phase 2)
- SMS/WhatsApp adapters (Phase 3)
- Queue processing logic (Phase 6)
- Actual message sending (Phases 2-4)
- Comprehensive tests (Phase 7)
🎯 Phase 1 Deliverables (All Complete!)
- ✅ Database schema deployed to dev
- ✅ Module structure in place
- ✅ Basic CRUD operations functional
- ✅ API endpoints implemented
🚀 Next Steps - Phase 2: Email Enhancement
Phase 2 will focus on:
- Installing Handlebars for template rendering
- Creating
TemplateRendererService - Creating
EmailAdapterService(Sendgrid integration) - Creating default email templates
- Implementing attachment handling
- Setting up Sendgrid webhooks
- Integrating queue with email sending
Estimated Time: 1 week (~30 hours)
📝 Notes
Architecture Decisions Made
- Used
Record<string, unknown>instead ofanyfor type safety - Followed existing repository pattern with
IRepositoryinterfaces - Used Kysely query builder for all database operations
- Implemented domain-driven design with clear layer separation
- Added stub implementations for features to be built in later phases
Dependencies Added
- None yet (Handlebars will be added in Phase 2)
Breaking Changes
- None (all new functionality)
✅ Verification Checklist
Run these commands to verify Phase 1 is working:
# 1. Check TypeScript compilation
cd apps/backend
npm run build
# 2. Start backend in dev mode
npm run start:dev
# 3. Verify endpoints are registered
# Visit: http://localhost:3000/api (Swagger UI)
# Should see:
# - Communications endpoints
# - Communication Templates endpoints
# - Communication Preferences endpoints
# 4. Test basic endpoints (using curl or Postman)
# GET /api/communications
# GET /api/communication-templates
# GET /api/communication-preferences/customer/{uuid}?businessId={uuid}
