v1.4.1 - Fix: Production Deployment & MSC Stability

🛠 Bug Fixes & Stability

• Resolved Production Crash: Fixed a critical MODULE_NOT_FOUND error caused by case-sensitivity mismatches in route imports on Linux-based environments (Vercel).
• Environment Alignment: Standardized all module paths to ensure seamless transition between development and production.

🚀 Version Highlights

This version consolidates the major architectural changes planned for the 1.4 cycle:

• Full MSC Implementation: Business logic is now entirely handled by the Service layer.
• RBAC Security: Role-based access control is active, protecting administrative routes.
• Data Integrity: Database normalization scripts are now fully documented and functional.

Note: Version 1.4.0 contained deployment inconsistencies and has been superseded by this stable release.

• Architecture Refinement: Introduced services/ and constants/ directories to improve code modularity and maintainability.

Changed

• Folder Structure: Reorganized project to include middlewares/ for upcoming security layers.
• Product Model: Updated products to support category and subcategory relationships.

Technical Notes

• Integrated jsonwebtoken for secure session handling.
• Implemented uuid for consistent ID generation across all new entities.

v1.2.0 - Full CRUD Implementation & Logic Refactor

Description

This release marks a major milestone for the Ecoverse API, completing the full product management cycle and improving the efficiency of data retrieval.

🔄 Improvements & Refactoring

• GET Refactor: Optimized the product retrieval logic to align with the new flat JSON database structure, ensuring faster and cleaner data delivery.
• Persistence Logic: Improved the underlying Model layer to handle asynchronous file operations more robustly.

✨ New Features (Full CRUD)

• POST /api/products: Added support for creating new products with automatic UUID v4 generation.
• PATCH /api/products/:id: Implemented partial updates, allowing specific fields to be modified without overwriting the entire resource.
• DELETE /api/products/:id: Added resource removal functionality with built-in validation to ensure the target ID exists.

🛠️ Technical Updates

• Environment Management: Fully integrated dotenv for server configuration (port management).
• Architecture: Solidified the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern across all new endpoints to keep business logic decoupled from the routing layer.
• Documentation: Updated the Postman Collection and README.md to reflect the new capabilities and endpoint structures.
