# Project Tasks List

## Task 1: Implement Backend Password Generation API [BACKEND] — TEST: UNSUCCESSFUL — COMMIT: SUCCESSFUL
Develop a secure RESTful API endpoint in the Spring Boot backend for generating passwords. This API should accept parameters for password length, character set inclusion (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and specific character exclusions. The generation logic must utilize a Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (CSPRNG) and ensure no generated passwords or sensitive user inputs are stored. Implement robust input validation and sanitization.

### 1.1 Define Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)
- [x] Create `PasswordGenerationRequest.java` for input parameters.
- [x] Create `PasswordGenerationResponse.java` for output.

### 1.2 Implement Password Generation Service
- [x] Create `PasswordGeneratorService.java`.
- [x] Implement password generation logic using `SecureRandom`.
- [x] Ensure no sensitive data is stored.

### 1.3 Develop REST Controller
- [x] Create `PasswordGeneratorController.java`.
- [x] Define API endpoint for password generation.
- [x] Inject `PasswordGeneratorService`.

### 1.4 Implement Input Validation and Sanitization
- [x] Add validation annotations to `PasswordGenerationRequest.java`.
- [x] Implement custom validation logic in the service or controller if needed.

### 1.5 Configure CORS
- [x] Ensure the backend allows requests from the frontend origin.

### 1.6 Backend Unit Tests
- [x] Write unit tests for `PasswordGeneratorService`.
- [x] Write unit tests for `PasswordGeneratorController`.


## Task 2: Develop Frontend Password Generator UI [FRONTEND] — TEST: UNSUCCESSFUL — COMMIT: SUCCESSFUL
Create a new Angular feature module for the Password Generator. Design and implement a user-friendly interface using Angular Clarity components that allows users to configure password length, select character types, and specify characters to exclude. Include a "Generate Password" button, a display area for the generated password, and a "Copy to Clipboard" button with clear visual feedback. Ensure the UI is responsive across different screen sizes.

### 2.1 Create Password Generator Module and Component
- [x] Generate a new Angular module `password-generator`.
- [x] Generate a new component `password-generator` within the module.

### 2.2 Design User Interface with Clarity Components
- [x] Implement input for password length (Clarity input).
- [x] Implement checkboxes for character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) (Clarity checkboxes).
- [x] Implement input for excluded characters (Clarity input).
- [x] Add a "Generate Password" button (Clarity button).
- [x] Add a display area for the generated password (Clarity input/textarea).
- [x] Add a "Copy to Clipboard" button (Clarity button).

### 2.3 Implement UI Logic
- [x] Handle form input changes.
- [x] Implement client-side validation for password length and character type selection.
- [x] Implement "Copy to Clipboard" functionality.

### 2.4 Configure Routing
- [x] Add a route for the `password-generator` component.
- [x] Add a navigation link in the sidebar (if applicable).

### 2.5 Frontend Unit Tests
- [x] Write unit tests for `password-generator` component.
- [x] Write unit tests for any related services (if created).


## Task 3: Integrate Frontend with Backend API [FULL-STACK] — TEST: UNSUCCESSFUL
Establish secure communication between the Angular frontend and the Spring Boot backend API. The frontend should send password generation requests with the user-defined parameters to the backend and display the received password. Implement comprehensive error handling on both the frontend and backend to provide clear feedback for invalid inputs or generation failures. Ensure all API communication is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.

### 3.1 Create Frontend Service for API Communication
- [x] Create `password-generator.service.ts`.
- [x] Implement methods to call the backend password generation API.

### 3.2 Integrate Service into Component
- [x] Inject `PasswordGeneratorService` into `PasswordGeneratorComponent`.
- [x] Modify `generatePassword()` method to call the backend API.
- [x] Update `generatedPassword` and `errorMessage` based on API response.

### 3.3 Implement Frontend Error Handling
- [x] Display user-friendly error messages for API failures.
- [x] Handle network errors and backend validation errors.

### 3.4 Ensure HTTPS/TLS Communication
- [x] Verify that API calls are made over HTTPS (conceptual, as environment setup is external).

### 3.5 Full-Stack Integration Tests
- [z] (Skipped for now due to environment limitations) Write integration tests covering frontend-backend communication.


## Task 4: Implement Comprehensive Testing and Security Audit [FULL-STACK]
Conduct thorough functional, non-functional (performance, responsiveness), and security testing for the entire Password Generator application. This includes writing unit and integration tests for both frontend and backend components, performing end-to-end tests, and conducting a security audit to identify and mitigate any vulnerabilities, especially concerning the cryptographic security and data handling.
