# TurboTrades Backend - Project Summary

## 🎯 Project Overview

A production-ready backend API for a Steam/CS2/Rust marketplace built with modern Node.js technologies. This backend provides authentication, real-time communication, and a solid foundation for building a complete marketplace platform.

## 🏗️ Architecture

### Tech Stack

- **Framework**: Fastify (high-performance Node.js web framework)
- **Database**: MongoDB with Mongoose ODM
- **Authentication**: 
  - Steam OAuth (passport-steam)
  - JWT (short-lived access tokens + long-lived refresh tokens)
  - httpOnly cookies for CSRF protection
- **Real-time**: WebSocket with custom user mapping
- **Security**: Helmet, CORS, Rate Limiting

npm install

# 2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings

# 3. Start MongoDB
mongod

# 4. Start server
npm run dev
```

### Test Connection

```bash
# Health check
curl http://localhost:3000/health

# Login via Steam
open http://localhost:3000/auth/steam

# Test WebSocket
open test-client.html
```

## 📝 Environment Variables

**Required:**
```env
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/turbotrades
STEAM_API_KEY=your-steam-api-key
SESSION_SECRET=random-secret-here

JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=different-random-secret
```

**Optional:** (See .env.example for full list)
- Port, host configuration
- Cookie settings
- CORS origins
- Rate limiting
- Email SMTP settings
- WebSocket options

## 🔧 Middleware System

### `authenticate`
Requires valid JWT access token. Returns 401 if missing/invalid.

### `optionalAuthenticate`
Attempts authentication but doesn't fail if no token.

### `requireStaffLevel(level)`
Requires minimum staff level (1=Support, 2=Mod, 3=Admin).

### `requireVerifiedEmail`
Requires verified email address.

### `require2FA`
Requires 2FA to be enabled (ready for implementation).

### `verifyRefreshTokenMiddleware`
Verifies refresh token for token renewal.

## 📡 WebSocket Integration

### Connection
```javascript
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3000/ws?token=ACCESS_TOKEN');
```

### Broadcasting (Server-Side)
```javascript
// Broadcast to all
wsManager.broadcastPublic('price_update', { itemId: '123', price: 99 });

// Send to specific user (by Steam ID)
wsManager.sendToUser(steamId, { type: 'notification', data: {...} });

// Authenticated users only
wsManager.broadcastToAuthenticated({ type: 'announcement', data: {...} });
```

### Client Messages
```javascript
// Ping/pong keep-alive
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'ping' }));
```
