FRONTEND GUIDE FOR AI CODING AGENTS - PART 15 - Feedback Service

This document is a part of a REST API guide for the ebaycclone project. It is designed for AI agents that will generate frontend code to consume the project’s backend.

This document provides extensive instruction for the usage of feedback

Service Access

Feedback service management is handled through service specific base urls.

Feedback service may be deployed to the preview server, staging server, or production server. Therefore,it has 3 access URLs. The frontend application must support all deployment environments during development, and the user should be able to select the target API server on the login page (already handled in first part.).

For the feedback service, the base URLs are:

  • Preview: https://ebaycclone.prw.mindbricks.com/feedback-api
  • Staging: https://ebaycclone-stage.mindbricks.co/feedback-api
  • Production: https://ebaycclone.mindbricks.co/feedback-api

Scope

Feedback Service Description

Handles feedback for order items: one feedback per buyer/orderItem, attached to sellerId for analytical feedback/rating aggregation and reputation tracking. Enables querying feedbacks received/given for sellers and buyers. test

Feedback service provides apis and business logic for following data objects in ebaycclone application. Each data object may be either a central domain of the application data structure or a related helper data object for a central concept. Note that data object concept is equal to table concept in the database, in the service database each data object is represented as a db table scheme and the object instances as table rows.

feedback Data Object: One feedback per (buyer, orderItem). Stores rating (1-5), comment, ties to seller for analytics. Created only after delivery confirmed on order item.

Feedback Service Frontend Description By The Backend Architect

feedback service (AI UX prompt)

  • Feedback can be left by buyers only after confirming delivery for an order item.
  • When leaving feedback, show the purchased item and seller context.
  • Display rating as 1-5 stars and an optional textual comment field (limit: 500 chars).
  • For seller public profile, aggregate and display feedback score (average of ratings, total count) and show up to N recent comments/ratings.
  • For buyer's purchase history, display feedback status and allow edit/delete if permitted by backend policy.
  • Feedback left is always visible to seller (as receiver) and buyer (as author); public listing controlled per guideline.
  • One feedback per purchased order item per buyer (attempt to enforce in UI as well).
  • When updating feedback, pre-fill prior text/rating.
  • Feedback should be timestamped by createdAt.

API Structure

Object Structure of a Successful Response

When the service processes requests successfully, it wraps the requested resource(s) within a JSON envelope. This envelope includes the data and essential metadata such as configuration details and pagination information, providing context to the client.

HTTP Status Codes:

  • 200 OK: Returned for successful GET, LIST, UPDATE, or DELETE operations, indicating that the request was processed successfully.
  • 201 Created: Returned for CREATE operations, indicating that the resource was created successfully.

Success Response Format:

For successful operations, the response includes a "status": "OK" property, signaling that the request executed successfully. The structure of a successful response is outlined below:

{
  "status":"OK",
  "statusCode": 200,   
  "elapsedMs":126,
  "ssoTime":120,
  "source": "db",
  "cacheKey": "hexCode",
  "userId": "ID",
  "sessionId": "ID",
  "requestId": "ID",
  "dataName":"products",
  "method":"GET",
  "action":"list",
  "appVersion":"Version",
  "rowCount":3,
  "products":[{},{},{}],
  "paging": {
    "pageNumber":1, 
    "pageRowCount":25, 
    "totalRowCount":3,
    "pageCount":1
  },
  "filters": [],
  "uiPermissions": []
}
  • products: In this example, this key contains the actual response content, which may be a single object or an array of objects depending on the operation.

Additional Data

Each API may include additional data besides the main data object, depending on the business logic of the API. These will be provided in each API’s response signature.

Error Response

If a request encounters an issue—whether due to a logical fault or a technical problem—the service responds with a standardized JSON error structure. The HTTP status code indicates the nature of the error, using commonly recognized codes for clarity:

  • 400 Bad Request: The request was improperly formatted or contained invalid parameters.
  • 401 Unauthorized: The request lacked a valid authentication token; login is required.
  • 403 Forbidden: The current token does not grant access to the requested resource.
  • 404 Not Found: The requested resource was not found on the server.
  • 500 Internal Server Error: The server encountered an unexpected condition.

Each error response is structured to provide meaningful insight into the problem, assisting in efficient diagnosis and resolution.

{
  "result": "ERR",
  "status": 400,
  "message": "errMsg_organizationIdisNotAValidID",
  "errCode": 400,
  "date": "2024-03-19T12:13:54.124Z",
  "detail": "String"
}

Bucket Management

(This information is also given in PART 1 prompt.)

This application has a bucket service used to store user files and other object-related files. The bucket service is login-agnostic, so for write operations or private reads, include a bucket token (provided by services) in the request’s Authorization header as a Bearer token.

Please note that all other business services require the access token in the Bearer header, while the bucket service expects a bucket token because it is login-agnostic. Ensure you manage the required token injection properly; any auth interceptor should not replace the bucket token with the access token.

User Bucket This bucket stores public user files for each user.

When a user logs in—or in the /currentuser response—there is a userBucketToken to use when sending user-related public files to the bucket service.

{
  //...
  "userBucketToken": "e56d...."
}

To upload a file

POST {baseUrl}/bucket/upload

The request body is form-data which includes the bucketId and the file binary in the files field.

{
    bucketId: "{userId}-public-user-bucket",
    files: {binary}
}

Response status is 200 on success, e.g., body:

{
    "success": true,
    "data": [
        {
            "fileId": "9da03f6d-0409-41ad-bb06-225a244ae408",
            "originalName": "test (10).png",
            "mimeType": "image/png",
            "size": 604063,
            "status": "uploaded",
            "bucketName": "f7103b85-fcda-4dec-92c6-c336f71fd3a2-public-user-bucket",
            "isPublic": true,
            "downloadUrl": "https://babilcom.mindbricks.co/bucket/download/9da03f6d-0409-41ad-bb06-225a244ae408"
        }
    ]
}

To download a file from the bucket, you need its fileId. If you upload an avatar or other asset, ensure the download URL or the fileId is stored in the backend.

Buckets are mostly used in object creations that require an additional file, such as a product image or user avatar. After uploading your image to the bucket, insert the returned download URL into the related property of the target object record.

Application Bucket

This Ebaycclone application also includes a common public bucket that anyone can read, but only users with the superAdmin, admin, or saasAdmin roles can write (upload) to it.

When a user with one of these admin roles is logged in, the /login response or the /currentuser response also returns an applicationBucketToken field, which is used when uploading any file to the application bucket.

{
  //...
  "applicationBucketToken": "e23fd...."
}

The common public application bucket ID is

"ebaycclone-public-common-bucket"

In certain admin areas—such as product management pages—since the user already has the application bucket token, they will be able to upload related object images.

Please configure your UI to upload files to the application bucket using this bucket token whenever needed.

Object Buckets Some objects may also return a bucket token for uploading or accessing files related to that object. For example, in a project management application, when you fetch a project’s data, a public or private bucket token may be provided to upload or download project-related files.

These buckets will be used as described in the relevant object definitions.

Feedback Data Object

One feedback per (buyer, orderItem). Stores rating (1-5), comment, ties to seller for analytics. Created only after delivery confirmed on order item.

Feedback Data Object Frontend Description By The Backend Architect

feedback object (AI UX prompt)

  • Show both buyer (author) and seller (recipient) for feedback context UI.
  • Rating must be displayed as 1-5 stars. Text comment is optional.
  • Feedback becomes available only after buyer confirms delivery (see delivery status on purchased item).
  • Block duplicate submissions in frontend (only one feedback per item per buyer).
  • Expose feedback in buyer profile (given) and seller profile (received).
  • Show createdAt timestamp in UI.
  • If backend allows update/delete, populate forms with old values or display moderation status.

Feedback Data Object Properties

Feedback data object has got following properties that are represented as table fields in the database scheme. These properties don't stand just for data storage, but each may have different settings to manage the business logic.

Property Type IsArray Required Description
rating Integer false Yes Rating (1-5 stars) submitted by buyer. Required.
orderId ID false Yes Order containing this purchased item. Used for aggregation and validation.
buyerId ID false Yes User/buyer leaving feedback. Authenticated user, must match order item buyer.
orderItemId ID false Yes Purchased item (line item) in order. Feedback is per (buyer, orderItem).
sellerId ID false Yes Seller of product for analytics/aggregation. Not author; used for querying feedback about sellers.
comment String false No Optional textual feedback comment, max ~500 chars.
productId ID false Yes The product listing being reviewed (snapshot at order time).
  • Required properties are mandatory for creating objects and must be provided in the request body if no default value, formula or session bind is set.

Relation Properties

orderId buyerId orderItemId sellerId productId

Mindbricks supports relations between data objects, allowing you to define how objects are linked together. The relations may reference to a data object either in this service or in another service. Id the reference is remote, backend handles the relations through service communication or elastic search. These relations should be respected in the frontend so that instaead of showing the related objects id, the frontend should list human readable values from other data objects. If the relation points to another service, frontend should use the referenced service api in case it needs related data. The relation logic is montly handled in backend so the api responses feeds the frontend about the relational data. In mmost cases the api response will provide the relational data as well as the main one.

In frontend, please ensure that,

1- instaead of these relational ids you show the main human readable field of the related target data (like name), 2- if this data object needs a user input of these relational ids, you should provide a combobox with the list of possible records or (a searchbox) to select with the realted target data object main human readable field.

  • orderId: ID Relation to orderManagementOrder.id

The target object is a parent object, meaning that the relation is a one-to-many relationship from target to this object.

Required: Yes

  • buyerId: ID Relation to user.id

The target object is a parent object, meaning that the relation is a one-to-many relationship from target to this object.

Required: Yes

  • orderItemId: ID Relation to orderManagementOrderItem.id

The target object is a parent object, meaning that the relation is a one-to-many relationship from target to this object.

Required: Yes

  • sellerId: ID Relation to user.id

The target object is a parent object, meaning that the relation is a one-to-many relationship from target to this object.

Required: Yes

  • productId: ID Relation to productListingProduct.id

The target object is a parent object, meaning that the relation is a one-to-many relationship from target to this object.

Required: Yes

Filter Properties

rating orderId buyerId orderItemId sellerId productId

Filter properties are used to define parameters that can be used in query filters, allowing for dynamic data retrieval based on user input or predefined criteria. These properties are automatically mapped as API parameters in the listing API's.

  • rating: Integer has a filter named rating

  • orderId: ID has a filter named orderId

  • buyerId: ID has a filter named buyerId

  • orderItemId: ID has a filter named orderItemId

  • sellerId: ID has a filter named sellerId

  • productId: ID has a filter named productId
