InternshipManagement.github.io

New features added: Badges & Automated Certificate Generation

Backend additions (routes in /backend/routers/candidate.js):

• PATCH /candidate/badge - body: { candidateID, badgeName, points, assignedBy }

  • Assigns a badge to a candidate and increments their xp.

• GET /candidate/:id/certificate?download=1 - generates a PDF certificate for the candidate.

  • If download=1 the server responds with a PDF download. Otherwise it returns { pdfBase64 }.

Backend dependency: pdfkit was added. From the backend folder run:

npm install
npm install pdfkit

Frontend: internship-management updated to show badges and total XP on the intern profile. A small manager UI was added to assign badges and to download the auto-generated certificate.

Security note: these endpoints are protected by the project's authentication middleware but double-check that only authorized managers can call the badge assignment route in production.
