The profiles table previously lacked an index on the user_id column, causing full table scans during user lookups. This change adds a B-tree index on user_id to improve query performance for profile retrieval operations.
The profiles table previously lacked an index on the user_id column, causing full table scans during user lookups. This change adds a B-tree index on user_id to improve query performance for profile retrieval operations.
The new index on the `user_id` column in the `profiles` table improves query performance when filtering or joining by user identifier, reducing full table scans during authentication and profile retrieval operations.
The parse function now checks for empty input at the top and returns immediately, avoiding unnecessary processing overhead for trivial cases. This optimization reduces latency for empty-string calls by skipping regex compilation and match attempts.
Implement avatar management with image upload, client-side cropping, and server-side storage. Users can now upload profile pictures from their local filesystem, crop them to a square aspect ratio using a drag-and-resize interface, and save the result. The backend stores cropped images in a dedicated avatars directory and updates the user record with the new avatar path. Includes validation for file type and size limits, plus fallback to default avatar on error.
