Summary:

Established the database infrastructure for the project using Prisma ORM with SQLite. Introduces the complete data schema required to manage the research group's content (members, publications, research areas) and includes a robust seeding system to populate the database with realistic development data.

Changes:

  • Designed Database Schema (prisma/schema.prisma):

    • Defined core models: Member, Publication, ResearchArea, Collaborator, GroupPhoto, and Admin.
    • Implemented complex relationships:
      • Hierarchical structure for ResearchArea (parent/child).
      • Many-to-Many relations between Member, Publication, and ResearchArea via explicit join tables.
    • Configured SQLite as the default provider.
  • Developed Seeding System (prisma/seed.ts):

    • Created a comprehensive seed script to generate initial state for all models.
    • Included logic to automatically infer and link relationships (e.g., connecting Members to Publications based on author names).
    • Added realistic mock data for faculty, students, complex research topics, and publications.
    • Implemented a default Admin user generation with hashed passwords.
  • Configured Prisma Environment:

    • Added @prisma/client and prisma CLI dependencies.
    • Updated package.json with convenience scripts (db:push, db:studio, db:seed, db:reset).
    • Added .env.example for database connection configuration.
    • Updated .gitignore to exclude SQLite database files.
