Problem
API documentation is incomplete and scattered. Developers integrating with Tagged need comprehensive, interactive API documentation with examples and testing capabilities.
Proposed Solution
Implement Swagger/OpenAPI 3.0 specification with interactive Swagger UI for all API endpoints.
Technical Implementation
New Files:
backend/docs/openapi.yaml - OpenAPI 3.0 specification
backend/docs/swagger-config.js - Swagger configuration
backend/middleware/swaggerAuth.js - Swagger authentication
backend/routes/docs.js - Documentation routes
backend/scripts/generate-openapi.js - Auto-generate spec from routes
backend/tests/swagger.test.js - Test suite
Modify:
backend/app.js - Add Swagger UI middleware
backend/package.json - Add swagger-ui-express, swagger-jsdoc
backend/.env.example - Add SWAGGER_ENABLED flag
backend/README.md - Add API documentation section
