🔧 API Route Format:
- Add /api/simple.js using standard Vercel function format
- Add /api/hello.ts using proper Next.js API route format
- Install Next.js and types for proper API route support
🧪 Testing Multiple Formats:
- JavaScript endpoint: /api/simple.js
- TypeScript endpoint: /api/hello.ts
- Both use traditional req/res pattern instead of NextRequest/NextResponse
This should help identify the correct API format for Vercel functions.
🔧 Configuration Changes:
- Remove specific runtime version from vercel.json
- Remove buildCommand that might be causing conflicts
- Let Vercel use default Node.js runtime settings
🧪 Simple Test Endpoint:
- Add /api/simple with minimal dependencies
- Use traditional Vercel function signature (req, res)
- No imports or complex operations to isolate the issue
This should help identify if the problem is with our function configuration, imports, or Vercel setup.
🔧 Improvements:
- Add /api/health endpoint for basic API functionality testing
- Improve /api/test-db with timeout handling and better error reporting
- Add environment variable checks before database operations
- Add connection timeouts to prevent function timeouts
- Better error handling and logging
🧪 Testing Endpoints:
- /api/health - Simple API health check (no DB required)
- /api/test-db - Database connectivity test with timeout protection
These changes should help identify whether the issue is with API routing, environment variables, or database connectivity.
🔧 Routing Fix:
- Remove redundant API rewrite rule that was causing conflicts
- Use negative lookahead regex to exclude API routes from frontend rewrites
- Only rewrite non-API, non-static routes to index.html
- This should resolve API endpoints returning HTML instead of JSON
🚀 Expected Result:
- /api/* routes will now properly reach Vercel functions
- Frontend routes will still work correctly
- Static assets remain unaffected
🔧 Debugging Improvements:
- Optimize setup-auth endpoint to avoid timeouts
- Add table existence checks before operations
- Simplify permission system for faster setup
- Add environment variable validation
- Create test-db endpoint for connection debugging
🚀 Performance Optimizations:
- Break down large SQL queries into smaller chunks
- Add early returns for already-setup scenarios
- Reduce permission complexity during initial setup
- Better error messages for troubleshooting
🧪 New Debug Endpoints:
- /api/test-db - Test database connectivity
- /api/setup-auth - Optimized schema setup
These changes should resolve timeout issues and provide better debugging information for authentication problems.
🐛 Bug Fix:
- Replace req.json() with req.text() + JSON.parse() for Vercel compatibility
- Add proper error handling for malformed JSON requests
- Fix authentication endpoints (login/register) body parsing
- Fix admin users endpoint body parsing
🔧 Technical Details:
- Vercel functions don't support req.json() method directly
- Use req.text() to get raw body content then parse manually
- Add try/catch blocks for JSON parsing errors
- Maintain same API interface and error responses
✅ Endpoints Fixed:
- /api/auth/register - User registration
- /api/auth/login - User authentication
- /api/admin/users - Admin user management
This resolves the 'req.json is not a function' error in production.
✨ Features Added:
- User registration and login with JWT authentication
- Role-based access control (user/admin)
- Comprehensive admin panel with user management
- Password hashing with bcrypt
- Session management and token storage
- Protected routes and public routes
- Modern login/register forms with validation
🗄️ Database Schema:
- Users table with profile information
- Roles and permissions system
- User-role junction tables
- Session management tables
- Database triggers and indexes
🎨 UI/UX Improvements:
- Updated navigation with user menu
- Admin badge and access controls
- Responsive authentication forms
- Loading states and error handling
- Role-based UI elements
🔧 API Endpoints:
- /api/auth/login - User authentication
- /api/auth/register - User registration
- /api/admin/users - User management (admin only)
- /api/setup-auth - Database schema setup
🚀 Admin Panel Features:
- User listing with search and pagination
- Role assignment (user/admin)
- User activation/deactivation
- System dashboard with stats
- Card management placeholder
- Real-time user management
- Change JSON import to use require() to avoid module loading issues
- Add api/tsconfig.json with CommonJS module configuration
- Update Vercel Node.js runtime to @vercel/node@3.2.0
