📱 ILOS EAMVU Mobile App

A React Native mobile application for EAMVU (External Asset Management & Verification Unit) officers to manage loan applications in the field.

🏗️ System Architecture

Mobile App (React Native) → API Service → Backend (Node.js/Express) → Database (PostgreSQL)

🔗 Integration with ILOS Backend

This mobile app integrates with the existing ILOS backend system using the same APIs as the web application:

Backend APIs Used:

• GET /api/applications/department/eamvu - Fetch EAMVU applications
• GET /api/applications/form/:losId - Get application details
• POST /api/applications/update-status - Update application status
• POST /api/applications/update-comment - Update comments
• GET /api/applications/comments/:losId - Get application comments
• GET /api/documents/:losId - Get application documents
• POST /api/upload-document - Upload documents

🎨 UBL Styling Integration

The mobile app matches the UBL branding and styling from the web application:

• Primary Color: #1E40AF (UBL Blue)
• Secondary Color: #3B82F6
• Header Design: Matches web app navbar styling
• Status Colors: Consistent with web app color scheme
• Typography: UBL brand fonts and styling

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• React Native CLI
• Android Studio / Xcode
• Backend server running on localhost:5000

Installation

1. Install Dependencies

cd ILOS-Mobile-App
npm install

2. Configure Backend URL Edit src/utils/config.js:

development: {
  API_BASE_URL: 'http://localhost:5000', // Your backend URL
  API_TIMEOUT: 30000,
  DEBUG: true,
},

3. Run the App

# Android
npm run android

# iOS
npm run ios

# Start Metro bundler
npm start

📱 App Screens

1. Home Screen

• Displays all EAMVU applications
• Pull-to-refresh functionality
• Application cards with key information
• UBL header with officer details

2. Application Detail Screen

• Complete application information
• Document management
• Status update options
• Comments and notes
• Quick actions (call, maps)

🔧 Configuration

Environment Setup

The app uses a configuration system for different environments:

// src/utils/config.js
const ENV = {
  development: {
    API_BASE_URL: 'http://localhost:5000',
    DEBUG: true,
  },
  production: {
    API_BASE_URL: 'https://your-production-backend.vercel.app',
    DEBUG: false,
  },
};

API Configuration

All API endpoints are centralized in the configuration:

export const API_ENDPOINTS = {
  EAMVU_APPLICATIONS: '/api/applications/department/eamvu',
  APPLICATION_DETAILS: (losId) => `/api/applications/form/${losId}`,
  UPDATE_STATUS: '/api/applications/update-status',
  // ... more endpoints
};

📊 Data Flow

1. Application Fetching

Mobile App → API Service → Backend → Database

2. Status Updates

User Action → API Call → Backend Update → Database → UI Refresh

3. Error Handling

API Error → Error Handler → User-Friendly Message → Retry Option

🔍 Testing

Backend Connection Test

import apiService from './src/utils/api';

// Test backend connection
const testConnection = async () => {
  const result = await apiService.testBackendConnection();
  console.log('Backend connection:', result);
};

API Endpoints Test

// Test EAMVU applications endpoint
const testApplications = async () => {
  try {
    const apps = await apiService.getEAMVUApplications();
    console.log('Applications:', apps);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
};

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Backend Connection Failed

   • Check if backend is running on localhost:5000
   • Verify network connectivity
   • Check firewall settings

2. No Applications Showing

   • Verify backend has EAMVU applications
   • Check API endpoint /api/applications/department/eamvu
   • Review backend logs for errors

3. Status Update Failed

   • Verify application exists in database
   • Check status values match backend expectations
   • Review backend update logic

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging in src/utils/config.js:

development: {
  DEBUG: true, // Set to true for detailed logs
}
