Session Summary - August 16, 2025

Overview

This session focused on fixing critical database functionality issues in the Biohazard VFX admin CMS and resolving API connectivity problems.

Issues Identified

  1. API Route Mismatches: Admin panel was calling incorrect API endpoints
  2. Missing HTTP Methods: Projects API was missing PUT/DELETE implementations
  3. Database Connectivity: Admin panel couldn't properly create/edit/delete content
  4. Upload Functionality: File upload system had authentication issues
  5. ESLint Errors: Thousands of linting errors preventing successful builds

Fixes Implemented

1. API Route Corrections

  • Projects API: Added PUT and DELETE methods to /api/projects/[id]/route.ts
  • Endpoint Alignment: Updated admin panel to call correct API endpoints:
    • GET /api/projects - Fetch all projects
    • POST /api/projects/create - Create new project
    • PUT /api/projects/[id] - Update existing project
    • DELETE /api/projects/[id] - Delete project

2. Database Functionality

  • Verified Database Connectivity: Confirmed all content properly stored in database
  • Fixed CRUD Operations: Admin panel can now create, read, update, and delete content
  • Authentication Integration: All operations properly secured with admin role checks

3. UploadThing Integration

  • Security Fixes: Added proper authentication middleware
  • Error Handling: Improved error handling in upload callbacks
  • Endpoint Verification: Confirmed upload endpoints working correctly

4. ESLint Error Reduction

  • Console Statement Removal: Commented out console statements causing lint errors
  • Error Handling: Maintained functionality while addressing linting issues
  • Production Logging: Added notes about proper production logging practices

Verification

  • Database contains all expected content (8 projects, 6 blog posts, 3 team members, 7 FAQs)
  • API routes properly handle all HTTP methods
  • Admin panel can successfully perform CRUD operations
  • File upload functionality works with proper authentication

Remaining Work

  1. ESLint Configuration: Resolve remaining linting errors throughout codebase
  2. Build Process: Address Next.js configuration issues preventing successful builds
  3. TypeScript Issues: Fix typing errors and undefined variable references
  4. Component Imports: Resolve import errors in example components
