Octofit Tracker Logic + Data Tier Guidelines

Logic tier (Node.js + Express + TypeScript)

• Build API routes under /api/.
• Keep API service on port 8000.
• Use environment-aware Codespaces URLs via CODESPACE_NAME.

Example base URL logic:

const codespaceName = process.env.CODESPACE_NAME;
const baseUrl = codespaceName
  ? `https://${codespaceName}-8000.app.github.dev`
  : 'http://localhost:8000';

Data tier (MongoDB + Mongoose)

• Use Mongoose models for users, teams, activities, leaderboard, and workouts.
• Connect to octofit_db.
• Validate endpoints with curl after wiring routes.
