Feature Request: Enhance Project Submission with File Uploads
Description
Currently, the project submission process allows students to submit project details, but there is no provision for uploading project-related files (e.g., project proposals, documentation, or supporting materials). This feature would significantly enhance the submission process by allowing students to provide comprehensive information about their projects.
Proposed Solution
Implement a file upload feature in the project submission form. Key requirements include:
- Students can upload files along with their project details.
- Support for common file types (PDF, DOCX, PPT, etc.).
- Limit file size to avoid performance issues.
- Appropriate error handling and user feedback during the upload process.
Benefits
- Provides a complete view of the project proposals.
- Encourages better project preparation by allowing students to include additional context and materials.
- Reduces back-and-forth communication regarding missing documentation.
Additional Considerations
This enhancement will require updates to both the frontend form and the backend controller managing project submissions. Proper validation should ensure only permitted file types and sizes are accepted.
