Resource

Introduction

The "Resource" project aims to develop an end-to-end API Smart Resource Sharing Platform. This platform will be built using Java Spring Boot for the backend and MySQL for the database. The system will feature effective animations and CSS to enhance user experience.

System Overview

The Resource platform is designed to facilitate efficient sharing and management of resources through a robust API. It will leverage Java Spring Boot for backend operations and MySQL for data storage, ensuring a reliable and scalable solution.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to register and create an account on the platform.
• As a User, I should be able to log in and authenticate my identity.
• As a User, I should be able to view available resources.
• As a User, I should be able to request access to a resource.
• As a User, I should be able to share my resources with others.
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user accounts and permissions.
• As an Admin, I should be able to monitor resource usage and generate reports.
• As a Developer, I should be able to access API documentation for integration purposes.
• As a User, I should be able to receive notifications about resource availability and updates.

User Personas

• User: Individuals who utilize the platform to access and share resources.
• Admin: Personnel responsible for managing the platform, user accounts, and resource allocations.
• Developer: Technical users who integrate the platform's API into other systems.

Core User Flows

• User registers -> logs in -> views resources -> requests access -> shares resources.
• Admin logs in -> manages users -> monitors resources -> generates reports.
• Developer accesses API documentation -> integrates API -> tests integration.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of the Resource platform will feature an interactive 3D resource map using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. Users can navigate through a virtual landscape where each resource is represented as a 3D object. Hovering over an object will display its details, and clicking will allow users to request or share the resource. The map will dynamically update to reflect real-time changes in resource availability.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model. Layers of resource icons will move at different speeds as the user scrolls, creating a sense of depth. Key sections will feature animated transitions and hover effects to guide user interaction and highlight important information.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must handle at least 10,000 concurrent users.
• Response time for API requests should not exceed 200ms.
• The platform should be accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Data integrity and security must be ensured through encryption and secure access controls.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Java Spring Boot
• Database: MySQL
• Animations: CSS and JavaScript libraries
• 3D and Animations: @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei

Assumptions and Constraints

• The platform will be deployed in a cloud environment.
• Users are expected to have internet access to use the platform.
• The system will comply with local data protection regulations.

Glossary

• API: Application Programming Interface
• CSS: Cascading Style Sheets
• MySQL: A relational database management system
• Java Spring Boot: A framework for building Java applications
• 3D: Three-dimensional graphics
