Type: Backend (Node.js + Express + MongoDB)
Description:
We need to implement a new backend API endpoint to serve "Highly Recommended Products" for each product page.
When a user opens a product (e.g., "CoreX Whey Protein"), the frontend should fetch and display products that are contextually related to it — based on shared attributes like category, goals, or collections.
Requirements:
- Add new route:
GET /api/products/:id/recommended
- Find the product by ID
- Return up to 6 related products that share:
- Same
category, or
- At least one matching
goal, or
- At least one matching
collection
- Exclude the original product from the results
- Sort randomly or by rating
- Return an empty array if no matches found
Acceptance Criteria:
- Endpoint works with existing MongoDB schema
- Proper error handling for invalid IDs
- Returns up to 6 valid product objects
- Follows existing backend structure and coding style
- Tested via Postman or frontend call
