This document summarizes all changes made to prepare the Tournament Host application for production deployment.
File: tournamentFrontend/src/Pages/LoginAndRegistration/RegisterPage.jsx
Problem: Two API endpoints were hardcoded to http://localhost:8080
Fix: Replaced with API_BASE_URL environment variable
const API_BASE_URL = import.meta.env.VITE_API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:8080';
const registerRes = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}/auth/signup`, {...});
const loginRes = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}/auth/login`, {...});Impact: Application now works in production environments
Files Modified:
Security/GlobalExceptionHandler.javaModel/Tournament.javaService/PasswordResetTokenCleanupService.java
