⚙️ [Implementation]: Validations

[Nima-MM]

⚙️ Technical Task

This issue focuses on technical aspects and code implementations in StockEase.

---

1️⃣ Description / Context

What needs to be implemented?

• Login Form (email/password format, required fields)
  • no empty strings->trim()!==''
• CRUD Operations on Inventory Entities (e.g., item name required, stock count ≥ 0)
  • no empty strings->trim()!==''
  • no negative numbers
• Other user input forms (e.g., registration, profile edit)
  • no empty strings->trim()!==''

**Why is this important?** It ensures fluid UX by determining user caused error/defect

2️⃣ Implementation Steps (Checklist)

• Architecture

  • Decide on validation approach: PrimeVue forms or Vuelidate.
  • Integrate with existing Vue.js Composition API structure.
  • Ensure forms are wrapped in a single state-management pattern (Pinia).

• Data Flow

  • Validate user inputs on the client (frontend) before sending requests to the backend.
  • Return descriptive error messages from the backend (Java/Spring) where needed.
  • Keep validations in sync with backend constraints (e.g., @NotNull, @Email in Spring).

• Testing & QA

  • Write unit tests for each form (e.g., test required fields, format checks).
  • Conduct integration tests ensuring correct error messages if validation fails.
  • Perform a code review to confirm consistent validation across all forms.

3️⃣ Timeline / Resources

Estimated Time:

• < 1 day
• 1–3 days
• > 3 days

Required Resources (tools, libraries, personnel):

- PrimeVue components or Vuelidate library - Vue Composition API knowledge - Updated Spring Boot constraints ---

💡 Additional Notes

• server-side validation in Spring Boot for sensitive operations
• document final validation rules in /docs/validation-rules.md
