Subjects Backend

Purpose

subjects is the per-organization catalog of teaching subjects (name, code, description). It is a generic-CRUD slice assembled from the shared factories; the backend is the source of truth for subject records.

Slice Files (by layer)

• Route: src/routes/subjects.ts — createCrudRouter(controller, { permission: 'subjects' }).
• Controller: src/api/controllers/subjects.controller.ts — createCrudController(service, { csvFields }).
• Service (BLL): src/services/subjects.ts — createCrudService(DbApi, { notFoundCode: 'subjectsNotFound' }).
• Repository (DAL): src/db/api/subjects.ts (SubjectsDBApi) — entity-specific create/bulkImport/update/findBy/findAll; remove/deleteByIds/findAllAutocomplete delegate to db/api/shared/repository.ts.
• Model: src/db/models/subjects.ts.
• Shared used: CRUD factories (services/shared/crud-service.ts, api/controllers/shared/crud-controller.ts, api/http/crud-router.ts), repository helpers (db/api/shared/repository.ts), shared/constants/pagination.ts (resolvePagination), shared/constants/database.ts (BULK_IMPORT_TIMESTAMP_STEP_MS), db/utils.ts (Utils).

API

The standard generic-CRUD surface (all under /api/subjects, JWT + ${METHOD}_SUBJECTS permission, all 200) — see backend-architecture.md for the shared contract:

• POST / — body { data }, returns true.
• POST /bulk-import — multipart CSV file, returns true.
• PUT /:id — body { data, id } (the service reads the id from the body), returns true.
• DELETE /:id — returns true.
• POST /deleteByIds — body { data: string[] }, returns true.
• GET / — query filters, returns { rows, count }; ?filetype=csv streams a CSV of csvFields.
• GET /count — returns { rows: [], count }.
• GET /autocomplete — ?query&limit&offset, returns [{ id, label }] where label is name.
• GET /:id — returns the record with eager associations (see Data Contract).

csvFields: id, name, code, description.

Access Rules

• JWT required; the whole router is guarded by checkCrudPermissions('subjects'), deriving READ_SUBJECTS / CREATE_SUBJECTS / UPDATE_SUBJECTS / DELETE_SUBJECTS per HTTP method.
• Access is granted by role permission or per-user custom_permissions (see permissions.md).

Tenant Scope

• findAll scopes where.organizationId to currentUser.organizationId; a globalAccess role clears the org filter (sees all tenants).
• create assigns the organization from currentUser.organizationId; update only reassigns organization for globalAccess users (otherwise it stays the caller's org).

Data Contract

Model columns (paranoid, soft-delete via deletedAt):

• id (UUID PK).
• name, code, description — TEXT, nullable.
• importHash (unique), organizationId, createdById, updatedById, timestamps.

Associations: belongsTo organization, createdBy/updatedBy (users); hasMany class_subjects_subject. findBy/GET /:id eager-load class_subjects_subject and organization in a single Promise.all.

List filters (SubjectsFilter): id, name (ilike), code (ilike), description (ilike), organization, createdAtRange, plus field/sort ordering and limit/page pagination.

Behavior / Notes

• create/update wire the organization relation via the setOrganization association mixin.
• bulkImport offsets createdAt per row by BULK_IMPORT_TIMESTAMP_STEP_MS to preserve order.
• List pagination uses the shared resolvePagination defaults (page size 10, capped at 100).
• Note: SubjectsFilter accepts an active flag the model has no column for; it is currently inert (kept for source accuracy).
