Created backend/src/config/constants.js to centralize all magic numbers
and configuration values used throughout the backend codebase.
Changes:
- Created constants.js with organized sections for:
- SECURITY: JWT, rate limiting, password reset
- AUTH: OTP configuration and rate limiting
- SERVER: Port, body limits, startup delays
- MQTT: Connection settings, cache limits
- NOTIFICATIONS: Push settings, quiet hours, batching
- SERIAL: Validation patterns and constraints
- EMAIL: Template settings and defaults
- CRON: Schedule configurations
- STORAGE: Avatar storage settings
- Updated files to use constants:
- index.js: JWT validation, rate limits, startup delays
- routes/auth.js: OTP generation, rate limits, JWT expiry
- services/mqtt.js: Connection timeouts, cache size
- services/notifications.js: Batch size, TTL, quiet hours
- utils/serialValidation.js: Serial number constraints
- Added comprehensive test suite (30 tests) for constants module
- All tests passing (93 total including existing tests)
- Validates reasonable values and consistency between related constants
Benefits:
- Single source of truth for configuration values
- Easier to maintain and update settings
- Better documentation of what each value represents
- Improved code readability by removing hardcoded numbers
- Testable configuration values
