# Priority 5: History API Implementation - Phase 1 Complete

**Date:** 2025-11-08  
**Status:** ✅ PHASE 1 COMPLETE - Core Infrastructure Implemented

## Overview

Phase 1 of the History API implementation is complete. Core infrastructure including schemas, service layer, generic endpoints, and Parks history routes have been successfully implemented.

---

## ✅ Completed in Phase 1

### 1. History Schemas (schemas.py)
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE

All history-related Pydantic schemas added to `django/api/v1/schemas.py`:

- `HistoryEventSchema` - Single history event
- `HistoryListResponse` - Paginated history list
- `HistoryEventDetailSchema` - Detailed event with metadata
- `HistoryComparisonSchema` - Event comparison
- `HistoryDiffCurrentSchema` - Compare with current state
- `FieldHistorySchema` - Field-specific history
- `HistoryActivitySummarySchema` - Activity summary
- `RollbackRequestSchema` - Rollback request payload
- `RollbackResponseSchema` - Rollback operation response

### 2. Generic History Endpoints (history.py)
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE

Created `django/api/v1/endpoints/history.py` with cross-entity endpoints:

- `GET /history/events/{event_id}` - Get any event by ID
- `GET /history/compare` - Compare two events

### 3. Parks History Routes (parks.py)
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE

Added comprehensive history routes to `django/api/v1/endpoints/parks.py`:

- `GET /parks/{park_id}/history/` - List park history
- `GET /parks/{park_id}/history/{event_id}/` - Get specific event
- `GET /parks/{park_id}/history/compare/` - Compare two events
- `GET /parks/{park_id}/history/{event_id}/diff-current/` - Diff with current
- `POST /parks/{park_id}/history/{event_id}/rollback/` - Rollback (admin only)
- `GET /parks/{park_id}/history/field/{field_name}/` - Field history
- `GET /parks/{park_id}/history/summary/` - Activity summary

### 4. Router Registration (api.py)
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE

History router registered in `django/api/v1/api.py`:
```python
from .endpoints.history import router as history_router
api.add_router("/history", history_router)
```

---

## 📋 Remaining Tasks (Phase 2)

### Entity-Specific History Routes

Need to add history routes to the following endpoint files:

#### 1. Rides (`django/api/v1/endpoints/rides.py`)
- Copy the history route pattern from parks.py
- Adjust entity_type to 'ride'
- Replace Park model with Ride model

#### 2. Companies (`django/api/v1/endpoints/companies.py`)
- Copy the history route pattern from parks.py
- Adjust entity_type to 'company'
- Replace Park model with Company model

#### 3. Ride Models (`django/api/v1/endpoints/ride_models.py`)
- Copy the history route pattern from parks.py
- Adjust entity_type to 'ridemodel'
- Replace Park model with RideModel model

#### 4. Reviews (`django/api/v1/endpoints/reviews.py`)
- Copy the history route pattern from parks.py
- Adjust entity_type to 'review'
- Replace Park model with Review model

### Documentation

Create `django/API_HISTORY_ENDPOINTS.md` with:
- Complete endpoint reference
- Authentication requirements
- Access control rules
- Request/response examples
- Rollback safety guidelines

### Testing

Write tests for:
- Schema validation
- Service layer access control
- API endpoints (all CRUD operations)
- Rollback functionality
- Permission checks

---

## 🎯 Implementation Pattern

For adding history routes to remaining entities, follow this pattern:

### Step 1: Import Required Schemas and Service

```python
from ..schemas import (
    # ... existing schemas ...
    HistoryListResponse,
    HistoryEventDetailSchema,
    HistoryComparisonSchema,
    HistoryDiffCurrentSchema,
    FieldHistorySchema,
    HistoryActivitySummarySchema,
    RollbackRequestSchema,
    RollbackResponseSchema,
    ErrorSchema
)
from ..services.history_service import HistoryService
```

### Step 2: Add History Endpoints Section

Add at the end of the file:

```python
# ============================================================================
# History Endpoints
# ============================================================================

@router.get(
    '/{entity_id}/history/',
    response={200: HistoryListResponse, 404: ErrorSchema},
    summary="Get entity history",
    description="Get historical changes for entity"
)
def get_entity_history(request, entity_id: UUID, ...):
    # Implementation using HistoryService
    pass

# ... (add all 7 history endpoints)
```

### Step 3: Key Changes Per Entity

**For Rides:**
- entity_type = 'ride'
- Model = Ride
- entity_name = ride.name

**For Companies:**
- entity_type = 'company'
- Model = Company
- entity_name = company.name

**For RideModels:**
- entity_type = 'ridemodel'
- Model = RideModel
- entity_name = ride_model.name

**For Reviews:**
- entity_type = 'review'
- Model = Review
- entity_name = f"Review by {review.user.username}"

## 🔒 Security Features Implemented

### Access Control (via HistoryService)

1. **Public Users:** Last 30 days of history
2. **Authenticated Users:** Last 1 year of history
3. **Moderators/Admins:** Unlimited history access

### Rollback Protection

1. **Authentication Required:** Must be logged in
2. **Permission Check:** Only moderators/admins can rollback
3. **Audit Trail:** Every rollback creates new history event
4. **Backup Option:** Optional pre-rollback snapshot

---

## 📊 Available History Operations

### Read Operations (All Users)

1. **List History** - Get paginated event list with filters
2. **Get Event** - Retrieve specific historical snapshot
3. **Compare Events** - See differences between two snapshots
4. **Diff with Current** - Compare historical state with current
5. **Field History** - Track changes to specific field
6. **Activity Summary** - Get statistics and recent activity

### Write Operations (Admin Only)

1. **Rollback** - Restore entity to historical state
   - Full rollback (all fields)
   - Selective rollback (specific fields)
   - Optional backup creation

## 🎨 API Endpoint Structure

### Entity-Nested Routes
```
GET    /parks/{id}/history/                    # List history
GET    /parks/{id}/history/{event_id}/         # Get event
GET    /parks/{id}/history/compare/            # Compare events
GET    /parks/{id}/history/{event_id}/diff-current/  # Diff current
POST   /parks/{id}/history/{event_id}/rollback/      # Rollback
GET    /parks/{id}/history/field/{field}/      # Field history
GET    /parks/{id}/history/summary/            # Summary
```

### Generic Routes
```
GET    /history/events/{event_id}              # Get any event
GET    /history/compare                        # Compare any events
```

Authorization: Bearer {admin_token}
Content-Type: application/json

{

3. Write integration tests
4. Performance testing with large datasets

### Long Term
1. Consider adding webhook notifications for history events
2. Implement history export functionality (CSV/JSON)
