[WIP] Update userController to use HttpStatusCode instead of HTTP_STATUS

[Copilot]

Coding agent has begun work on Transitioning to HttpStatusCode Library in Project and will replace this description as work progresses.

See problem context

The user has attached the following files from their workspace:

• src/controllers/userController.ts

The following is a snapshot of a chat conversation between a user and an AI coding assistant. Prioritize later messages in the conversation.
User: i would like your help with modifing everything to use only hettpstatuscode indtead of http_status

AI: I'll help you modify the file to use only HttpStatusCode instead of the HTTP_STATUS object. Here's my solution:

Step-by-step approach:

1. Keep the HTTP_STATUS object as it currently is (since it's the source of the status codes)
2. The type HttpStatusCode already exists, so no changes needed there
3. The main change is in how this module is used - consumers should import and use HttpStatusCode type instead of directly accessing HTTP_STATUS properties

However, looking at your request more carefully, I believe you want to change the export so that only HttpStatusCode values are exposed directly. Here's the solution:

httpStatus.ts

Convert the constant object to individual named exports of type HttpStatusCode, making the code use the type instead of the object pattern.

AI: export type HttpStatusCode = 200 | 201 | 204 | 400 | 401 | 403 | 404 | 409 | 500 | 503;

export const OK: HttpStatusCode = 200;
export const CREATED: HttpStatusCode = 201;
export const NO_CONTENT: HttpStatusCode = 204;

export const BAD_REQUEST: HttpStatusCode = 400;
export const UNAUTHORIZED: HttpStatusCode = 401;
export const FORBIDDEN: HttpStatusCode = 403;
export const NOT_FOUND: HttpStatusCode = 404;
export const CONFLICT: HttpStatusCode = 409;

export const INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: HttpStatusCode = 500;
export const SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: HttpStatusCode = 503;

Now consumers can import like: import { OK, NOT_FOUND, HttpStatusCode } from './constants/httpStatus' instead of HTTP_STATUS.OK.
User: yes great but remember now we need to modify accross the all project wherever there is an import of httpstatus to httpstatus code
AI: I need to see the other files in your project that import from httpStatus.ts to help you modify them. However, I can fix the current file first - there's a duplicate HttpStatusCode type definition at the end that references the old HTTP_STATUS object.

httpStatus.ts

Remove the duplicate type definition at the end.

AI: export type HttpStatusCode = 200 | 201 | 204 | 400 | 401 | 403 | 404 | 409 | 500 | 503;

export const OK: HttpStatusCode = 200;
export const CREATED: HttpStatusCode = 201;
export const NO_CONTENT: HttpStatusCode = 204;

export const BAD_REQUEST: HttpStatusCode = 400;
export const UNAUTHORIZED: HttpStatusCode = 401;
export const FORBIDDEN: HttpStatusCode = 403;
export const NOT_FOUND: HttpStatusCode = 404;
export const CONFLICT: HttpStatusCode = 409;

export const INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: HttpStatusCode = 500;
export const SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: HttpStatusCode = 503;

To help you with the rest of the project, please share the files that import from httpStatus.ts so I can update them accordingly. The changes will typically involve:

• Changing import { HTTP_STATUS } to import { OK, NOT_FOUND, ... }
• Changing HTTP_STATUS.OK to just OK
• Changing HTTP_STATUS.NOT_FOUND to just NOT_FOUND
  User: remove this and use only HttpStatusCode library.

AI: ### httpStatus.ts

Remove the duplicate type definition that references the non-existent HTTP_STATUS object.

AI: export type HttpStatusCode = 200 | 201 | 204 | 400 | 401 | 403 | 404 | 409 | 500 | 503;

export const OK: HttpStatusCode = 200;
export const CREATED: HttpStatusCode = 201;
export const NO_CONTENT: HttpStatusCode = 204;

export const BAD_REQUEST: HttpStatusCode = 400;
export const UNAUTHORIZED: HttpStatusCode = 401;
export const FORBIDDEN: HttpStatusCode = 403;
export const NOT_FOUND: HttpStatusCode = 404;
export const CONFLICT: HttpStatusCode = 409;

export const INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: HttpStatusCode = 500;
export const SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: HttpStatusCode = 503;

User: i meant implement the usee of status code only with the use of http sttus code specific library
AI: I understand now. You want to use an external HTTP status code library instead of maintaining your own constants. Here's the solution using the popular http-status-codes library:

httpStatus.ts

Replace custom implementation with exports from the http-status-codes library.

AI: export {
  OK,
  CREATED,
  NO_CONTENT,
  BAD_REQUEST,
  UNAUTHORIZED,
  FORBIDDEN,
  NOT_FOUND,
  CONFLICT,
  INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
  SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE,
  type StatusCodes as HttpStatusCode
} from 'http-status-codes';

Note: You'll need to install the library first:

npm install http-status-codes

This way, your code continues to work with the same imports, but uses the maintained library instead of custom constants.
User: cant you see the all project ?
AI: I can only see the files you've provided to me. Currently, I only have access to the httpStatus.ts file.

To help you update all the imports across your project, please share the other files that import from httpStatus.ts. You can either:

1. Share specific files that you know use HTTP_STATUS
2. Use your editor's "Find in Files" feature to search for HTTP_STATUS or import.*httpStatus and share those files

Once you provide those files, I'll update all the imports from:

• import { HTTP_STATUS } from '...' → import { OK, NOT_FOUND, ... } from '...'
• HTTP_STATUS.OK → OK
• etc.
  User: as far as i can see http_satus is only being use in the controllers file
  AI: Perfect! I can see from your screenshot that HTTP_STATUS is being used in the userController.ts file. Let me help you update it to use the individual named exports instead.

Based on what I can see in the search results, you need to update the import and all usages of HTTP_STATUS.OK, HTTP_STATUS.CREATED, etc.

Please share the complete userController.ts file so I can provide the exact changes needed. From the screenshot, I can see it's located at:

• src/controllers/userController.ts

Once you provide that file, I'll update:

1. The import statement to import the individual constants
2. All references from HTTP_STATUS.OK to just OK
3. All references from HTTP_STATUS.CREATED to just CREATED
4. And so on for all status codes used in that file
   User: implement this.

TITLE: Transitioning to HttpStatusCode Library in Project

USER INTENT: The user aims to modify their project to exclusively use the HttpStatusCode type and the http-status-codes library instead of the existing HTTP_STATUS object.

TASK DESCRIPTION: The user wants to refactor their codebase to replace all instances of HTTP_STATUS with the HttpStatusCode type and utilize the http-status-codes library for HTTP status codes.

EXISTING: The user has already modified the httpStatus.ts file to define the HttpStatusCode type and individual status code exports. The current implementation is as follows:

httpStatus.ts

export {
  OK,
  CREATED,
  NO_CONTENT,
  BAD_REQUEST,
  UNAUTHORIZED,
  FORBIDDEN,
  NOT_FOUND,
  CONFLICT,
  INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
  SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE,
  type StatusCodes as HttpStatusCode
} from 'http-status-codes';

PENDING: The user needs to update the userController.ts file to replace all imports and usages of HTTP_STATUS with the new individual exports from the http-status-codes library.

CODE STATE: The only file discussed and modified is httpStatus.ts. The user has indicated that HTTP_STATUS is primarily used in the userController.ts file, which needs to be updated.

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS: The user needs to change the import statement in userController.ts from:

import { HTTP_STATUS } from '...';

to:

import { OK, CREATED, ... } from 'http-status-codes';

And all usages of HTTP_STATUS.OK, HTTP_STATUS.CREATED, etc., should be replaced with OK, CREATED, etc.

OTHER NOTES: The user has confirmed that the only significant usage of HTTP_STATUS is in the userController.ts file. The assistant is awaiting the complete userController.ts file to implement the necessary changes. The user has also indicated that the http-status-codes library needs to be installed via npm install http-status-codes.

Original prompt

implement this.

The user has attached the following files from their workspace:
