What Needs to Be Done
Improve and complete the project's API documentation by auditing the current implementation and ensuring every API endpoint is fully documented.
Tasks include:
- Audit existing API documentation against the current implementation.
- Document all API endpoints in
openapi.yaml.
- Update
api.md with accurate endpoint descriptions.
- Add request and response schemas.
- Include example requests and responses.
- Document authentication requirements and rate limits (if applicable).
- Add error codes with troubleshooting information.
- Provide usage examples in JavaScript, Python, and cURL.
- Ensure Swagger UI renders correctly and reflects the latest API implementation.
Why This Matters
Comprehensive API documentation makes it easier for contributors to understand the backend, helps developers integrate with DevTrack, improves maintainability, and ensures the documentation stays synchronized with the implementation as the project evolves.
Files to Look At
api.mdopenapi.yamlsrc/app/api/metrics/src/app/api/goals/src/app/api/user/- Any additional API route files that expose public endpoints.
Acceptance Criteria
Tech Context
The project already includes api.md and openapi.yaml, but several endpoints are missing complete documentation or examples. Review the API route handlers under src/app/api/ and update the documentation to reflect the current implementation. Ensure the OpenAPI specification remains consistent with the actual API behavior.
Mentorship
I'm interested in working on this documentation improvement. Any guidance on documentation conventions or preferred formatting would be appreciated before I begin.
