Reporting Module

Location: backend/src/reporting/

The reporting module handles the persistence layer for student reports -generating report books, managing report status workflows, and storing/serving exported files (PDFs, CSVs, Excel). It works alongside the Calculation Module, which provides the live grade data.

File generation moved. PDF/CSV/XLSX/zip files are now generated server-side by the Report Files Module. This module still stores and serves the persisted class-summary files (its uploadClassSummaryFile is what report-files calls to persist them).

Files

File	Purpose
reporting.module.ts	Module definition
report.controller.ts	API endpoints for reports and report entries
report.service.ts	Business logic for report generation, updates, and file management
report.guard.ts	Prevents modification of reports after ministry submission
dto/generate-report.dto.ts	DTO for batch report generation
dto/update-report.dto.ts	DTO for updating report metadata (remarks, conduct, attendance)
dto/update-report-entry.dto.ts	DTO for updating per-subject entries (letter grade, remark)
dto/save-pdf.dto.ts	DTO for recording a PDF file reference

Key Concepts

Report Book

A report_book row represents a single student's report for a specific term. It stores:

• Metadata: student, term, class, report type, academic year
• Aggregates: overall average, class position, total students
• Class teacher fields: remark, conduct, attendance percentage
• Status: draft → published → sent_to_ministry

Report Book Entries

Each report book has multiple report_book_entry rows -one per subject. Entries store the persisted snapshot of grades at generation time plus editable fields:

Field	Source	Editable
coursework_average	Calculated at generation time	No
exam_average	Calculated at generation time	No
term_composite	Calculated at generation time	No
year_grade	Calculated at generation time	No
letter_grade	Teacher input	Yes
teacher_remark	Teacher input	Yes

Live Grades vs Persisted Grades

The frontend displays live calculated grades from the /calculations/ endpoints. The reporting schema is used for:

• Persisting metadata (remarks, letter grades, conduct, attendance)
• Managing report status workflow (draft → published → ministry)
• Storing and serving exported files (PDF, CSV, XLSX)
• Recording PDF generation history

Report Status Workflow

draft → published → sent_to_ministry (locked)

Once a report is marked sent_to_ministry, the ReportGuard prevents any further modifications.

Report Types

Type	Description
term	Single-term report
year_end	Year-end report (year_based grading model only)

File Storage

Exported files (PDFs, CSVs, XLSX) are stored in the report-books Supabase Storage bucket. The module handles:

• Individual report PDFs: uploaded per-student via multipart upload
• Class summary files: PDF, CSV, and XLSX uploaded per-class-per-term

API Endpoints

All endpoints require AuthGuard. Most also require ClassTeacherGuard (admin or class teacher).

Report Generation

POST /api/reports/generate

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard

Generates (or regenerates) report book entries for all students in a class for a given term. Calls the calculation engine internally to compute grades.

Body (GenerateReportDto):

Field	Required	Description
studentGroupId	Yes	Class UUID
termId	Yes	Term UUID
reportType	Yes	term or year_end

Report Queries

GET /api/reports

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard

Lists all report books for a class + term combination.

Param	Required	Description
studentGroupId	Yes	Class UUID
termId	Yes	Term UUID
reportType	No	Filter by term or year_end

GET /api/reports/:id

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard

Returns a single report book with all entries, student info, and PDF history.

GET /api/reports/student

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard

Finds a student's report by student ID, term, and report type.

Param	Required	Description
studentId	Yes	Student UUID
termId	Yes	Term UUID
reportType	Yes	term or year_end

Report Updates

PATCH /api/reports/:id

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard, ReportGuard

Updates class teacher metadata on a report.

Body (UpdateReportDto):

Field	Type	Description
classTeacherRemark	string	Class teacher's remark
conduct	string	e.g., "Excellent"
attendancePercentage	number	0–100

PATCH /api/reports/:id/regenerate

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard, ReportGuard

Re-runs grade calculations for a single report and updates all entries.

PATCH /api/reports/:id/publish

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard, ReportGuard

Sets status to published.

PATCH /api/reports/:id/send-to-ministry

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard

Sets status to sent_to_ministry. The report becomes locked -the ReportGuard blocks further edits.

Report Entry Updates

PATCH /api/report-entries/:entryId

Guards: AuthGuard, ReportGuard

Updates editable fields on a single subject entry.

Body (UpdateReportEntryDto):

Field	Type	Description
letterGrade	string	e.g., "A", "B+"
teacherRemark	string	Subject-specific comment

PDF Management

POST /api/reports/:id/pdf

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard, ReportGuard

Records a PDF file reference (path + size) without uploading.

POST /api/reports/:id/pdf/upload

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard, ReportGuard

Uploads a PDF blob to Supabase Storage and records the reference. Accepts multipart form data with the file and an optional objectPath field.

GET /api/reports/:id/pdfs

Returns the PDF generation history for a report.

GET /api/reports/:id/pdf/latest

Returns the most recent PDF record.

GET /api/reports/:id/pdf/:pdfId/download

Downloads a PDF file from Supabase Storage. Returns the file as a binary response with appropriate headers.

Class Summary Files

POST /api/reports/class-summary/upload

Guards: AuthGuard, ClassTeacherGuard

Uploads a class summary file (PDF, CSV, or XLSX) to Supabase Storage.

Accepts multipart form data with fields: studentGroupId, termId, reportType, fileType.

GET /api/reports/class-summary/download
