📊 Progress Overview

Status: 40% Complete
Duration: Weeks 5-7
Focus: Multi-tenant routing, data isolation, and asset management

  • Subdomain detection and routing
  • Custom domain support
  • Path-based university identification
  • University context caching (5-minute TTL)
  • Automatic fallback to default university
  • Request header injection for API routes
  • Cookie-based context for page routes

Routing Strategy

// Subdomain routing: utas.example.com
// Custom domain routing: utas.edu.om
// Path-based routing: example.com/utas
// Fallback: Default university

University Context Provider

• File: src/components/providers/UniversityProvider.tsx
• Features:
  • Real-time university context management
  • Cookie-based university persistence
  • Dynamic university switching
  • Configuration loading and caching
  • Error handling and fallbacks

2. Data Isolation System ✅

Data Isolation Utilities

• File: src/lib/dataIsolation.ts
• Features:
  • University context validation
  • Request header extraction
  • Data access controls
  • Model-specific isolation helpers
  • Higher-order function for API protection

Isolation Patterns

// Content isolation
const content = await dataIsolation.content.findMany(universityId, options);

// Programs isolation
const programs = await dataIsolation.programs.findMany(universityId, options);

// Knowledge base isolation
const kb = await dataIsolation.knowledgeBase.findMany(universityId, options);

API Protection

• Middleware Integration: All API routes automatically protected
• University Validation: Automatic university context validation
• Data Filtering: All queries filtered by university ID
• Access Control: University-specific data access

3. Asset Management System ✅

Database Schema

• Model: Asset in Prisma schema
• Features:
  • University-specific asset storage
  • Multiple asset types (LOGO, FAVICON, HERO_IMAGE, etc.)
  • Bilingual alt text support
  • Metadata storage
  • Public/private asset control
  • Automatic cleanup on university deletion

Asset Management Class

• File: src/lib/assetManagement.ts
• Features:
  • File upload validation
  • Type-specific configurations
  • Size and format restrictions
  • Unique filename generation
  • Asset CRUD operations
  • Branding asset retrieval

Asset Types & Configurations

AssetType.LOGO: 2MB, PNG/JPEG/SVG, 1 file
AssetType.FAVICON: 1MB, PNG/ICO/SVG, 1 file
AssetType.HERO_IMAGE: 5MB, PNG/JPEG/WEBP, 10 files
AssetType.NEWS_IMAGE: 3MB, PNG/JPEG/WEBP, 50 files
AssetType.PROGRAM_IMAGE: 3MB, PNG/JPEG/WEBP, 100 files
AssetType.GALLERY_IMAGE: 10MB, PNG/JPEG/WEBP/GIF, 200 files
AssetType.DOCUMENT: 20MB, PDF/DOC/DOCX, 100 files
AssetType.VIDEO: 100MB, MP4/WEBM/OGG, 50 files
AssetType.AUDIO: 50MB, MP3/WAV/OGG, 50 files

Asset Management API

• Files:
  • src/app/api/assets/route.ts (List & Upload)
  • src/app/api/assets/[id]/route.ts (Get, Update, Delete)
• Features:
  • University-validated uploads
  • File type validation
  • Size restrictions
  • Alt text support (English & Arabic)
  • Metadata storage
  • Asset listing with filters

Admin Interface

• File: src/app/admin/assets/page.tsx
• Features:
  • Drag-and-drop file upload
  • Asset type selection
  • Bilingual alt text input
  • Asset gallery view
  • File size display
  • URL copying
  • Asset deletion
  • Type filtering

🔧 Technical Implementation

Database Migrations

# Asset model migration
npx prisma migrate dev --name add-asset-model

API Route Protection

// Automatic university validation
export const GET = withUniversityValidation(async (request, university) => {
  // University context automatically available
  // Data automatically filtered by university
});

Middleware Configuration

export const config = {
  matcher: [
    '/((?!_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico|public/).*)',
  ],
};
