## User Dashboard & Analytics Phase
### Task 31: Get User Dashboard
**Priority**: High | **Status**: ✅ COMPLETED | **Actual Time**: 3 hours
#### Subtasks:
- [x] Create `routes/user.routes.js`
- [x] Create `controllers/user.controller.js`
- [x] Implement `getUserDashboard` function
- [x] Return user stats (total quizzes, accuracy, streak)
- [x] Return recent quiz sessions (last 10)
- [x] Return category-wise performance
- [x] Calculate overall accuracy
- [x] Include streak status (active/at-risk/inactive)
- [x] Add recent activity tracking (last 30 days)
- [x] Write tests (14/14 passing)
#### Implementation Details:
- **Files Created**:
- `controllers/user.controller.js` (252 lines)
- `routes/user.routes.js` (13 lines)
- `test-user-dashboard.js` (527 lines)
- **Files Modified**:
- `server.js` - Registered user routes at `/api/users`
- `controllers/quiz.controller.js` - Fixed streak tracking logic
#### Features Implemented:
- User information (username, email, role, profile image, member since)
- Statistics (total quizzes, pass rate, accuracy, questions answered, streaks)
- Recent 10 quiz sessions with category, scores, and time spent
- Category-wise performance (quizzes taken, pass rate, accuracy per category)
- Recent activity (daily quiz counts for last 30 days)
- Streak status calculation (active if quiz today, at-risk if last active yesterday, inactive otherwise)
#### Bug Fixes:
- Fixed field name mapping: `lastQuizDate` instead of `lastActiveDate`
- Removed non-existent `percentage` field, calculating from `score/totalPoints`
- Fixed authorization order: check user existence before authorization (proper 404 responses)

#### Test Results:
✅ All 14/14 tests passing:
- Dashboard data retrieval
- User info structure validation
- Stats calculations accuracy
- Recent sessions ordering
- Category performance calculations
- Authorization checks (cross-user, unauthenticated, invalid UUID, non-existent user)
