Build with AI Agent

Use the Back4app AI Agent to generate an Elder Transportation app from this template, including backend schema, ACLs, and starter frontend integration.

Back4app AI Agent

Ready to build

Create an Elder Transportation backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. TransportationRequest: user (Pointer to User, required), vehicle (Pointer to Vehicle, required), pickup (Location), dropoff (Location), status (String), scheduledAt (Date, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.
2. Vehicle: type (String), capacity (Number), status (String); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.
3. Driver: user (Pointer to User), vehicle (Pointer to Vehicle); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.
4. Location: coordinates (GeoPoint), address (String); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.
5. User: role (String: driver, user), contact (Object); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.
6. AuditLog: actor (Pointer to User, required), action (String), data (Object), timestamp (Date); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.

Security:
- Enforce ACLs restricting data visibility according to user roles. Ensure sensitive details stay protected throughout the transport lifecycle.

Auth:
- Support registration for users and drivers; secure login and session management.

Behavior:
- Users log in, create transport requests, and get notifications. Drivers receive assignment alerts as requests are created. All actions are logged in AuditLog entries.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, CLPs, ACLs, and starter frontend integration for managing transportation and user notifications.
