# How to Use This Implementation Plan with AI Coding Assistants

1. **Save this plan** as a markdown (.md) file in your project directory.
2. **Open the file** in your preferred code editor with Cursor or Windsurf AI assistant.
3. **Copy and paste** the following prompt to your AI assistant:

   "I want to implement this project following the implementation plan in this file. Let's start with the first unchecked item. For each step: 1) Ask me any clarifying questions if something is unclear before proceeding, 2) Explain what needs to be done, 3) Write the necessary code, 4) Check the box when complete (change `- [ ]` to `- [x]`), then 5) Move to the next unchecked item. After completing logical groups of steps, commit the changes with a descriptive message. Let's begin with step #1."

4. **Track your progress** by checking off completed items as you go.
5. **Commit regularly** after logical groups of steps are completed.

- [ ] 17. Add password input field to `LoginForm.js`.
- [ ] 18. Add submit button to `LoginForm.js`.
- [ ] 19. Implement form validation for email and password in `LoginForm.js`.
- [ ] 20. Set up `src/services/auth.js` for authentication API methods.
- [ ] 21. Integrate login API method to handle form submission in `LoginForm.js`.
- [ ] 22. Add loading state to `LoginForm.js` during submission.
- [ ] 23. Add error handling for failed login attempts in `LoginForm.js`.
- [ ] 24. Write unit tests for email and password validation in `LoginForm.test.js`.

## Phase 3: Real-Time Event Alerts

### Implement real-time event notifications

- [ ] 26. Set up WebSocket server in `server.js` for real-time communication.
- [ ] 27. Integrate WebSocket client in the frontend to listen for event updates.
- [ ] 28. Create function to fetch nearby events based on user location in `src/services/events.js`.
- [ ] 29. Create event notification handler in WebSocket connection callback.
- [ ] 30. Display real-time notifications in the `Home` component.
- [ ] 31. Write unit tests for WebSocket connection in `events.test.js`.

## Phase 4: Event Creation Feature

### Create event management functionalities

- [ ] 32. Create `CreateEventForm.js` component in `src/components/events/`.
- [ ] 33. Add title input field to `CreateEventForm.js`.
- [ ] 34. Add date and time picker to `CreateEventForm.js`.
- [ ] 35. Add location selector based on user current GPS in `CreateEventForm.js`.
- [ ] 36. Implement event submission function in `src/services/events.js`.
- [ ] 37. Connect create event form to API in `CreateEventForm.js`.
- [ ] 38. Write unit tests for event creation function in `events.test.js`.

## Phase 5: Community Safety Features

### Implement safety protocols and user verification

- [ ] 39. Develop user verification process in `server.js` with OAuth integration.
- [ ] 40. Add safety tips page in `src/components/safety/SafetyTips.js`.
- [ ] 41. Create user feedback form after events in `src/components/feedback/FeedbackForm.js`.
- [ ] 42. Integrate feedback submission functionality in `FeedbackForm.js`.
- [ ] 43. Write unit tests for feedback functionality in `feedback.test.js`.
  
## Phase 6: Location Services

### Integrate location-based features

- [ ] 44. Setup geolocation API for retrieving user location in `src/services/location.js`.
- [ ] 45. Integrate map service (e.g., Google Maps) in `src/components/maps/MapView.js`.
- [ ] 46. Create a utility function to find nearby events based on current location in `location.js`.
- [ ] 47. Write tests for location fetching functions in `location.test.js`.

## Phase 7: Testing and Quality Assurance

### Conduct thorough testing of all features

- [ ] 48. Set up testing frameworks and create comprehensive test cases across components and services.
