## 💻 Technical Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend (Bot Service)
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `services/steamBot.js`
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Generate trade offer URL from offer ID
|
||||
const tradeOfferUrl = `https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/${offer.id}`;
|
||||
|
||||
// Include in bot response
|
||||
return {
|
||||
offerId: offer.id,
|
||||
verificationCode,
|
||||
tradeOfferUrl, // ← New field
|
||||
botId: this.botId,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**WebSocket Notifications:**
|
||||
All trade events now include `tradeOfferUrl`:
|
||||
- `trade_sent`
|
||||
- `trade_confirmed`
|
||||
- `trade_created`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Backend (Inventory Routes)
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `routes/inventory.js`
|
||||
|
||||
**Development Mode:**

const mockOfferId = `DEV_${Date.now()}`;
|
||||
const mockTradeOfferUrl = `https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/${mockOfferId}`;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade Model:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const trade = new Trade({
|
||||
offerId,
|
||||
tradeOfferUrl, // ← Saved to database
|
||||
verificationCode,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**API Response:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"success": true,
|
||||
"trade": {
|
||||
"tradeId": "...",
|
||||
"offerId": "...",
|
||||
"verificationCode": "A3X9K2",

|
||||
|
||||
### Mobile (iOS/Android)
|
||||

|
||||
- Falls back to mobile Steam website
|
||||
- Seamless transition from browser to app
|
||||
|

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔒 Security Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Link Validation
|
||||
- ✅ Links generated server-side (not user input)
|
||||
- ✅ Offer ID comes from Steam bot response
|
||||
- ✅ No risk of link manipulation
|
||||
|
||||
### Safe External Links
|
||||
- ✅ `target="_blank"` - Opens in new tab
|
||||
- ✅ `rel="noopener noreferrer"` - Security best practice
|
||||
- ✅ Only official Steam domain
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Code
|
||||
- ✅ Code shown on site AND in Steam trade message
|
||||
- ✅ User must verify codes match

||||
- ✅ Prevents accepting wrong/fake trades
