Issue#252552 Feat: User bulk upload with all entity types

[Sachintechjoomla]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented a runtime error when detecting certain ARRAY-type entities during metadata parsing.

• Improvements

  • Invitation import now dynamically processes additional fields (including comma-separated multi-value and single-value entries), mapping them to IDs and removing processed fields.
  • Existing password handling and downstream processing flow preserved.

Walkthrough

Adds a null-check when resolving an entity's data_type during ARRAY lookups, and replaces hard-coded root field deletions in user invite processing with dynamic iteration over entityFields to populate row.meta from externalEntityNameIdMap and remove processed fields.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Entity lookup guard src/generics/utils.js	Add guard to ensure the found entity exists before accessing data_type, preventing runtime errors when checking ARRAY-type entities.
Dynamic user-invite meta processing src/helpers/userInvite.js	Replace hard-coded root field deletions with dynamic iteration over entityFields; handle ARRAY and single-value fields by normalizing values, building lookup keys, mapping to IDs via externalEntityNameIdMap, populating row.meta, and deleting processed fields; existing password handling preserved.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through rows and trimmed each name,
Turned hard-coded fences into fields of game.
A tiny guard now keeps ARRAYs from fright,
Meta bits fall into place by moonlight.
thump thump 🥕✨

In `@src/helpers/userInvite.js`:
- Around line 352-364: The dynamic entityFields loop currently only assigns a
single _id into row.meta[field]; update the entityFields.forEach handler (the
loop that checks alreadyProcessed and uses externalEntityNameIdMap and
lookupKey) to detect ARRAY-like values (either actual arrays or comma-separated
strings), split them into items, clean each item with the same
whitespace/lowercase logic, build per-item lookupKeys and map to IDs via
externalEntityNameIdMap, and then set row.meta[field] to an array of IDs (or
null/empty array if none); if the value is a single scalar, keep the existing
single-ID assignment behavior. Ensure you reuse the same cleaning logic and
externalEntityNameIdMap lookup so behavior matches professional_subroles
handling.

366-370: Consider deduplicating fields to delete.

If alreadyProcessed fields are also present in entityFields, you'll iterate over them twice. While harmless (deleting a non-existent key is a no-op), using a Set would be cleaner.

♻️ Optional: Use Set to deduplicate

-const allFieldsToDelete = [...alreadyProcessed, ...entityFields]
-allFieldsToDelete.forEach((field) => {
-  delete row[field]
-})
+const allFieldsToDelete = new Set([...alreadyProcessed, ...entityFields])
+allFieldsToDelete.forEach((field) => {
+  delete row[field]
+})

341-370: Consider consolidating entity processing in future refactor.

The code now has two processing paths: hardcoded handling (lines 283-339) for 7 specific fields and dynamic handling (lines 352-364) for additional fields. While this works, it increases maintenance burden. Consider consolidating all entity field processing into the dynamic loop in a future iteration.

Learning: In ELEVATE-Project/user, avoid potential circular dependencies between src/helpers/userHelper.js and src/services/user-sessions by extracting shared session cleanup logic (finding active sessions, deleting Redis keys, ending sessions) into a dedicated utility (e.g., helpers/sessionCleanup.js) that both layers can consume.

1041-1041: LGTM! Good defensive check.

The guard prevents a potential TypeError when prunedEntities.find() returns undefined for a metaKey that doesn't match any entity.
