Creating an inventory management system with the requested features requires a well-thought-out design. Here's a detailed guide to structure your project, design the database schema, and implement the required features using JavaScript with Angular and Node.js.
---
## **1. Structuring the Project Files**
For scalability and maintainability, organize the project into a modular structure:
```
inventory-management-system/
│
├── backend/
│ ├── config/ # Configuration files (e.g., database, environment variables)
│ ├── controllers/ # Route handlers for the API
│ ├── models/ # Mongoose schemas for MongoDB
│ ├── routes/ # Route definitions
│ ├── middlewares/ # Middleware for authentication and validation
│ ├── utils/ # Utility functions (e.g., logging, email notifications)
│ ├── tests/ # Backend unit tests
│ └── app.js # Entry point for the server
│
├── frontend/
│ ├── src/
│ │ ├── app/
│ │ │ ├── components/ # Reusable UI components
│ │ │ ├── pages/ # Pages (e.g., dashboard, inventory list)
│ │ │ ├── services/ # Angular services for API calls
│ │ │ ├── guards/ # Route guards for authentication
│ │ │ ├── directives/ # Custom directives
│ │ │ └── app.module.ts # Angular module definitions
│ │ ├── assets/ # Static assets like images, styles
│ │ ├── environments/ # Environment configurations
│ │ ├── styles/ # Global styles
│ │ └── main.ts # Entry point for Angular
│ └── tests/ # Frontend unit and integration tests
│
├── package.json # Dependencies for the entire project
├── README.md # Project documentation
└── .env # Environment variables
```

## **2. Designing the Database Schema**
Using MongoDB, define schemas for products, suppliers, and transactions:
### **Product Schema**
```javascript
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const ProductSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: { type: String, required: true },
sku: { type: String, unique: true, required: true },
quantity: { type: Number, required: true },
price: { type: Number, required: true },
supplierId: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Supplier', required: true },
lowStockThreshold: { type: Number, default: 10 },
createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
updatedAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Product', ProductSchema);
```
### **Supplier Schema**
```javascript
const SupplierSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: { type: String, required: true },
contactInfo: {
email: { type: String, required: true },
phone: { type: String, required: true }
},
address: { type: String },
createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
updatedAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Supplier', SupplierSchema);
```
### **Transaction Schema**
```javascript
const TransactionSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
productId: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Product', required: true },
quantity: { type: Number, required: true },
type: { type: String, enum: ['sale', 'restock'], required: true },
transactionDate: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Transaction', TransactionSchema);
```

## **3. Implementing Secure User Authentication**
Use **JWT** (JSON Web Tokens) for secure user authentication and role-based access control.
### Backend Middleware for Authentication
```javascript
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const User = require('../models/User'); // Assuming a User schema exists
module.exports = async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const token = req.header('Authorization').replace('Bearer ', '');
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
const user = await User.findOne({ _id: decoded._id, 'tokens.token': token });
if (!user) throw new Error();
req.user = user;
next();
} catch (err) {
res.status(401).send({ error: 'Please authenticate.' });
}
};
```
### Role-Based Access Control
Extend the middleware to check for user roles (e.g., admin, manager):
```javascript
module.exports = (roles) => (req, res, next) => {
if (!roles.includes(req.user.role)) {
return res.status(403).send({ error: 'Access denied.' });
}
next();
};
```
---
## **4. Developing APIs**
Use **Express.js** to create APIs:
### Example: Inventory Update
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const Product = require('../models/Product');
// Update product quantity
router.put('/inventory/:id', async (req, res) => {
try {
const product = await Product.findById(req.params.id);
if (!product) return res.status(404).send({ error: 'Product not found.' });
product.quantity = req.body.quantity;
await product.save();
res.status(200).send(product);
} catch (err) {
res.status(400).send({ error: err.message });
}
});
module.exports = router;
```
---
## **5. Adding Advanced Features**
### Low-Stock Alerts
- Implement a background job using **node-cron**:
```javascript
const cron = require('node-cron');
const Product = require('./models/Product');
const sendEmail = require('./utils/sendEmail');
cron.schedule('0 8 * * *', async () => {
const lowStockProducts = await Product.find({ quantity: { $lt: lowStockThreshold } });
for (let product of lowStockProducts) {
await sendEmail({
to: 'admin@example.com',
subject: 'Low Stock Alert',
text: `Product ${product.name} is running low on stock!`
});
}
});
```
### Inventory History Logs
Create a middleware that logs inventory changes in a dedicated collection.
---
## **6. Cross-Platform Accessibility**
### Responsive Design
Use Angular’s **Flex Layout** for adaptive UI. Add CSS for responsiveness:
```css
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.dashboard {
flex-direction: column;
}
}
```
---
## **7. Integrating Reporting Tools**
Use a library like **Chart.js** for data visualization:
```javascript
import { Chart } from 'chart.js';
ngOnInit() {
const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart');
new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Sales',
data: [10, 20, 30],
backgroundColor: ['rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)']
}]
}
});
}
```
---
### **Comments and Documentation**
- Add comments above functions and complex logic explaining their purpose.
- Use tools like **JSDoc** to generate documentation.
By following these steps, you can build a robust inventory management system tailored for a small retail store. Let me know if you'd like more detailed code examples for any specific feature!
