Implement Gift Card System: Schema, Controller, Middleware, and Routes

[IkkiOcean]

Description:

We need to implement a gift card system to allow users to purchase, redeem, and manage gift cards. This will involve the following:

1. Gift Card Schema: A schema to store gift card details such as card number, value, status (active, redeemed, expired), and user association.
2. Controller: Logic to handle the creation, activation, and redemption of gift cards.
3. Middleware: Middleware to validate gift cards before redemption and ensure that they are valid and have not expired.
4. Routes: Define API routes to handle actions such as:
   • Creating and managing gift cards
   • Redeeming gift cards
   • Fetching gift card details

Tasks:

• Schema Design:

  • Create a GiftCard schema with fields like cardNumber, value, status (active, redeemed, expired), userId (associated user), expiryDate, and createdAt.

• Controller:

  • GiftCardController: Logic to create new gift cards, activate them, redeem them, and check the status of a gift card.

• Middleware:

  • Validation middleware to ensure the gift card is valid, not expired, and can only be redeemed once.
  • Check that the value on the gift card is greater than 0 before allowing redemption.

• Routes:

  • POST /api/gift-cards: To create a new gift card.
  • GET /api/gift-cards/:cardNumber: To fetch details of a specific gift card.
  • POST /api/gift-cards/redeem: To redeem a gift card by entering its card number.

Expected Outcome:

• Proper schema setup for the gift card system.
• Functional controller logic for creating, activating, and redeeming gift cards.
• Middleware for validation of gift card status.
• REST API routes to interact with the gift card system.
