Project Summary

This document provides a comprehensive summary of the project, detailing the functionality of the backend, the frontend website, and the admin panel.

Backend API

The backend is an Express.js application written in TypeScript. It serves as a REST API for both the frontend website and the admin panel.

**API Structure:**

- `/api/frontend`: Publicly accessible endpoints for the main website.
  - Manages tool pages, custom pages, blogs, and settings.
  - Handles user authentication (registration, login, email verification, password reset).
  - Processes payments and subscriptions via Stripe.
  - Provides pricing plan information.
  - Includes a contact form endpoint.

- `/api/tool-api`: A specialized API for a "humanize" tool.
  - This endpoint is protected by captcha, throttling, logging, and token-checking middleware.

- `/api/admin`: Endpoints for the admin panel, requiring authentication.
  - Provides full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality for:
    - Users
    - Tool Pages
    - Custom Pages
    - Blogs
    - Tool Prompts
    - Queries
    - Pricing Plans
  - Manages application settings, including sitemap generation.
  - Includes a file manager with capabilities for listing, creating folders, uploading, deleting, renaming, and copying file URLs.

- `/api/auth`: Handles authentication for the admin panel (login, logout, and token verification).

- `/api/connections`: Provides data for the NYT Connections game.
  - Fetches the daily puzzle from the NYT website.
  - Generates hints for each category using the Gemini API.
  - Caches the results to optimize performance.

- `/api/wordle`: Provides data for the Wordle game.
  - Returns the Wordle of the day by fetching it from the official NYT API.

Frontend Website (`project` folder)

The frontend is a React application (likely using Vite) that serves as the main user-facing website. It is rich in features, primarily focused on word game solvers and hints.

**Key Pages and Features:**

- **Solvers:** A comprehensive suite of solvers for popular word games, including:
  - Scrabble Word Finder
  - Words With Friends Solver
  - Word Unscrambler
  - Anagram Solver
  - Crossword Solver
  - Jumble Solver
  - Letter Boxed Solver
  - Quordle Solver
  - Spelling Bee Solver
  - Wordle Solver

- **Hint Pages:** A large collection of pages providing daily hints for games like:
  - Connections

- **Content Pages:** Informational pages on topics like grammar and spelling (e.g., "Affect vs. Effect").

- **Word Lists:** Pages dedicated to lists of words of specific lengths (e.g., "Three Letter Words").

- **Dynamic Content:**
  - The `ConnectionsHints.tsx` page fetches data from the backend to display the latest puzzle and hints. The API URL is correctly configured to switch between `localhost` for development and the production URL for builds.
  - The `WordleHints.tsx` page fetches the daily Wordle word from the backend, generates hints in the frontend, and displays them. The API URL is also correctly configured for development and production.
