TODO

The following are the items that I'm planning to develop further.

Prio I

• Allow visitors to request registration to be approved by the librarian.
• Notify the librarian about incoming order.
• Notify the member as soon as the order is processed and the book is ready to be issued(or refused for some reason).
• Display amount of members in the queue for a certain book.
• Add reservation extend/renew functionality.
• Allow members to request a password reset.
• Allow members to change the password from their profile.

Prio II

• Limit amount of books in a queue
• Implement a fines system in case members do not return the book in time (e.g. 5 cents for each over-due day)
  • For now, members will have to pay the fine once he or she arrives at the library to return the book.
• Add book location reference(which library in city)
• Add book shelf relation(which shelf in the library)
• Setup basic site localization - lv/en/ru
• Send issued book reservation due date reminder

Prio III

• Delete book orders older than 1 year
• Preserve deleted order history for a certain amount of time - e.g. 30 days
• Allow member to upload their profile picture.

Adhoc items / Questions to resolve

• add a cron job pinging https://django-libraryms.onrender.com/
  • Seems every 15mins render server worker is shutting down
• TESTS: Cover all models and API endpoints primarily
• can Book.clean() be somehow leveraged for reservation status checking?
• set up rate limiter for all auth-demanding requests
