| 2 | +# SAAS Spring Boot Starter Kit Conversion Plan |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +## Overview |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Transform the current blog application into a reusable SAAS starter kit with advanced user management, clean architecture, and best practices for rapid development of new SAAS applications. No need of 2 factorauthentication for now. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Phase 1: Core Architecture Refactoring |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +### 1.1 Package Structure Reorganization |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- **Current**: `com.siyamuddin.blog.blogappapis` |
| 13 | +- **New**: `com.saas.starter` or `com.yourcompany.saas` |
| 14 | +- Create modular package structure: |
| 15 | + ``` |
| 16 | + ├── core/ |
| 17 | + │ ├── config/ |
| 18 | + │ ├── security/ |
| 19 | + │ ├── exception/ |
| 20 | + │ └── common/ |
| 21 | + ├── modules/ |
| 22 | + │ └── user/ |
| 23 | + │ ├── controller/ |
| 24 | + │ ├── service/ |
| 25 | + │ ├── repository/ |
| 26 | + │ ├── entity/ |
| 27 | + │ └── dto/ |
| 28 | + └── shared/ |
| 29 | + ├── utils/ |
| 30 | + └── constants/ |
| 31 | + ``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### 1.2 Remove Blog-Specific Features |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- Delete `PostController`, `PostService`, `PostServiceImpl`, `PostRepo`, `Post` entity |
| 37 | +- Delete `CommentController`, `CommentService`, `CommentServiceImpl`, `CommentRepo`, `Comment` entity |
