Phase 2 : Add Documentation, Firebase workflow and Firebase Mock-DB and local storage integration

In Phase 2 of the project, the focus was on enhancing the platform's functionality by adding comprehensive documentation, implementing a Firebase workflow for auto-deployment and hosting pull requests (PRs), and integrating Firebase Mock-DB with local storage. These upgrades are aimed at streamlining development, improving testing, and ensuring a seamless user experience.

Tasks Completed:

• User Documentation : Added detailed user guides and tutorials to help users navigate and utilize the platform effectively.
• Developer Documentation : Created in-depth technical documentation, including code comments, API references, and setup instructions for developers.
• Auto Deployment : Configured Firebase Hosting to automatically deploy the website whenever changes are pushed to the main branch, ensuring that the latest version is always live.
• PR Preview Channels : Set up Firebase to automatically create preview URLs for every pull request, allowing developers and reviewers to see changes in a live environment before merging.
• CI/CD Integration : Integrated Firebase with GitHub Actions to automate the deployment process, linking code commits with deployment events seamlessly.
• Mock-DB Integration : Integrated Firebase Mock-DB to create a simulated environment for testing, allowing developers to work without impacting the production database.
• Local Storage Integration : Implemented local storage to ensure data persistence on the client side, retaining user data across sessions and during offline usage.
• Data Synchronization : Developed synchronization logic to update local storage data with Firebase when the application reconnects to the internet, ensuring consistency between the mock environment and live database.
• Cross-Tab Syncing : Enabled cross-tab synchronization using local storage events, ensuring that changes in one tab are reflected across others without requiring a page refresh.
