# FastNotes
This project is an Expo React Native note-taking app built for a CS assignment submission. It supports:
- Email/password authentication with Supabase Auth
- Creating, viewing, editing, and deleting notes
- Optional image upload for notes using Supabase Storage
- Push notification support through Expo and a Supabase Edge Function fallback path
## Requirements
To build and run this project locally, you need:
- Node.js (LTS recommended)
- npm
- Expo Go on a physical device, or an Android/iOS emulator
- A Supabase project that you configure yourself
The repository does not include a committed `.env` file. That is intentional. The `.env` file is ignored by Git by design, so anyone running this project must create their own local `.env` file with their own Supabase and Expo values.
## Installation
1. Clone or extract the project.
2. Open a terminal in the project root.
3. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
## Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file in the project root and define the following variables:
```bash
EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_project_url
EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_KEY=your_supabase_anon_key
EXPO_PUBLIC_EAS_PROJECT_ID=your_expo_eas_project_id
```
Notes:
- `EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL` is the URL of your Supabase project.
- `EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_KEY` is the public anonymous key for your Supabase project.
- `EXPO_PUBLIC_EAS_PROJECT_ID` is optional and is only used for Expo push notification registration and related build/push flows.
- The app requires `EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL` and `EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_KEY` at runtime. If those two values are missing, the app will not start correctly.
## Build And Run Instructions
Start the Expo development server:
```bash
npm start
```
You can also start a specific platform directly:
```bash
npm run android
npm run ios
npm run web
```
After the development server starts:
- Scan the QR code with Expo Go on a physical device, or
- Open the app in an emulator/simulator
## Test And Validation Commands
Run the Jest test suite:
```bash
npm test
```
Run tests in watch mode:
```bash
npm run test:watch
```
Run linting:
```bash
npm run lint
```
Run TypeScript checks for the app:
```bash
npm run typecheck
```
Run type checks for the included Supabase Edge Function:
```bash
npm run typecheck:functions
```
## Supabase Configuration Expected By The App
This app is not fully standalone. It expects your Supabase project to already contain the database tables and storage resources used by the code.
### 1. Auth
The app uses Supabase Auth with email/password sign-up and login.
### 2. `profiles` table
The app expects a `profiles` table that stores user profile information. Based on the code, it uses these columns:
- `id`
- `email`
- `username`
- `full_name`
The app upserts into `profiles` when a user signs up or when an authenticated session is restored.
### 3. `Notes` table
The app expects a table named `Notes` with this exact capitalization. Based on the code, it uses these columns:
- `id`
- `created_by`
- `title`
- `content`
- `created_at`
- `updated_at`
- `image_url`
- `image_path`
- `image_mime_type`
- `image_size_bytes`
Application behavior assumes:
- Each note belongs to a user through `created_by`
- Users can create notes
- Users can edit and delete only their own notes
- Notes are ordered by `updated_at` and `created_at`
### 4. Storage bucket
The app expects a public Supabase Storage bucket named:
```text
note-images
```
This bucket is used to upload note images. Stored image paths are then saved in the `Notes` table.
### 5. `user_push_tokens` table
For push notifications, the app expects a table named `user_push_tokens` with fields used for registering device tokens. Based on the code, it uses:
- `installation_id`
- `user_id`
- `push_token`
- `platform`
- `is_active`
- `updated_at`
## Supabase Edge Function
This repository includes a Supabase Edge Function at:
```text
supabase/functions/push/index.ts
```
That function is responsible for sending push notifications when notes are created.
If you want to use that function, your Supabase function environment will need its own server-side values, including:
```bash
SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_project_url
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your_service_role_key
EXPO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_expo_access_token
```
Notes:
- `SUPABASE_URL` and `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` are required by the function code.
- `EXPO_ACCESS_TOKEN` may be needed depending on how you configure Expo push notification delivery.
## Important Submission Note
Because `.env` is intentionally ignored by Git, this submission does not include live secrets or a working personal backend configuration. To run the project successfully, the evaluator must create their own `.env` file and connect the app to their own Supabase project configured with the expected tables, columns, and storage bucket described above.
