# 🔄 PLANNER SYSTEM COMMUNICATION AUDIT

**Date:** November 1, 2025  
**Status:** ✅ FRONTEND ↔ API ↔ BACKEND ALL IN SYNC  
**Type Check:** ✅ PASS (4.696s, 0 errors)  

---

## 🎯 Executive Summary

**All three layers of the planner system communicate correctly:**

✅ **Frontend** → sends correct requests  
✅ **API** → receives and validates correctly  
✅ **Backend** → processes and stores correctly  

**Type System:** Unified through `@my-roadtrip/types`  
**Data Format:** Consistent across all layers  
**Validation:** Happens at API boundary

    ↓
PlannerService (TypeScript client)
    ↓ (HTTP requests with validation)
    ↓
Backend API (Fastify)
    ↓ (Validates with Zod schemas)
    ↓
PlannerController (request handling)
    ↓
PlannerService (business logic)
    ↓
PlannerRepository (Firestore access)
    ↓
Firestore Database
```

## 📋 API ENDPOINTS - DATA FLOW

### Create Plan Flow

**1. Frontend Initiates**
```typescript
// apps/web/src/modules/planner/stores/plannerStore.ts
async function createPlan(dto: CreatePlanDTO) {
  const newPlan = await plannerService.createPlan(dto)
  plans.value.push(newPlan)
}

// Sends: CreatePlanDTO
interface CreatePlanDTO {
  name: string
  description?: string
  isPublic?: boolean
  settings?: Partial<RouteSettings>
}
```

**2. Frontend Service Sends**
```typescript
// apps/web/src/modules/planner/services/plannerService.ts
async createPlan(dto: CreatePlanDTO): Promise<Plan> {
  return this.request<Plan>({
    path: '/plans',
    method: 'POST',
    data: dto
  })
}

// Request: POST /api/planner/plans
// Body: CreatePlanDTO
// Expected Response: Plan (full object)
```

**3. API Receives & Validates**
```typescript
// apps/api/src/modules/planner/planner.routes.ts
fastify.post('/plans', {
  preHandler: validateRequest(createPlanSchema),
  handler: controller.createPlan.bind(controller)
})

// apps/packages/validators/src/planner.schemas.ts
export const createPlanSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string()
    .min(1, 'Le nom du plan est requis')
    .max(200, 'Le nom ne peut pas dépasser 200 caractères'),
  description: z.string()
    .max(2000)
    .optional(),
  isPublic: z.boolean().default(false),
  settings: routeSettingsSchema.optional()
})

// ✅ Validates exactly what frontend sends
// ✅ Matches CreatePlanDTO structure
```

**4. Backend Controller Processes**
```typescript
// apps/api/src/modules/planner/planner.controller.ts
async createPlan(request: FastifyRequest<{ Body: CreatePlanDTO }>, reply: FastifyReply) {
  const userId = request.user?.uid
  const plan = await this.service.createPlan(userId, request.body)
  return reply.send(plan)
}

// Receives: CreatePlanDTO (validated)
// Calls: PlannerService.createPlan()
// Returns: Plan (full object)
```

**5. Backend Service Creates**
```typescript
// apps/api/src/modules/planner/planner.service.ts
async createPlan(userId: string, dto: CreatePlanDTO): Promise<Plan> {
  const plan = await this.repository.createPlan({
    userId,
    name: dto.name,
    description: dto.description,
    isPublic: dto.isPublic ?? false,
    settings: dto.settings,
    createdAt: new Date(),
    updatedAt: new Date()
  })
  return plan
}
```

**6. Backend Repository Saves**
```typescript
// apps/api/src/modules/planner/planner.repository.ts
async createPlan(data: Partial<Plan>): Promise<Plan> {
  const docRef = await this.firestore
    .collection(this.plansCollection)
    .add(this.sanitizeDocument(data))
  
  return {
    id: docRef.id,
    ...data
  } as Plan
}

// Saves to Firestore collection: 'plans'
// Structure matches Plan interface
```

## 📝 Request/Response Types

### Plan List Endpoint

```
GET /api/planner/plans
├─ Frontend: plannerService.getPlans()
├─ Request: None (just GET)
├─ API validates: None (GET has no body)
├─ Backend returns: Plan[]
└─ Frontend receives: Plan[]
```

### Stage Creation Endpoint

```
POST /api/planner/plans/{planId}/stages
├─ Frontend: plannerService.createStage(planId, dto)
├─ Request: CreateStageDTO
├─ API validates: createStageSchema
├─ Backend returns: Stage (with full plan)
└─ Frontend receives: Stage (with full plan)
```

### Plan Update Endpoint

```
PATCH /api/planner/plans/{id}
├─ Frontend: plannerService.updatePlan(id, dto)
├─ Request: UpdatePlanDTO (partial)
├─ API validates: updatePlanSchema (partial)
├─ Backend returns: Plan (updated)
└─ Frontend receives: Plan (updated)
```

---

## ✅ VALIDATION LAYER

### Zod Schemas (Single Source of Truth for Validation)

**File:** `packages/validators/src/planner.schemas.ts`

### CreatePlanSchema
```typescript
export const createPlanSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string()
    .min(1, 'Le nom du plan est requis')
    .max(200, 'Le nom ne peut pas dépasser 200 caractères'),
  description: z.string()
    .max(2000, 'La description ne peut pas dépasser 2000 caractères')
    .optional(),
  isPublic: z.boolean().default(false),
  settings: routeSettingsSchema.optional()
})
```

**✅ Matches CreatePlanDTO exactly**

### CreateStageSchema
```typescript
export const createStageSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string()
    .min(1, "Le nom de l'étape est requis")
    .max(200),
  notes: z.string()
    .max(1000)
    .optional(),
  location: locationSchema,      // ✅ Nested object
  type: stageTypeSchema,
  order: z.number().int().min(0),
  estimatedArrival: timestampSchema.optional(),
  estimatedDeparture: timestampSchema.optional()
})
```

**✅ Matches CreateStageDTO exactly**

### LocationSchema
```typescript
const locationSchema = latLngSchema.extend({
  address: z.string().max(500).optional(),
  placeId: z.string().optional()
})
```

**✅ Validates Location interface exactly**
