# Week 06 - Capstone Project - Client Functionalities

## Task 06
### Registeration Changes
**CR1 - Registeration has to steps**:
1. Expose new endpoint to receive phone number only:
- When the user first initiates registration by submitting their phone number, create a temporary User record with just the phone number.
- OTP Verification Step: Once the OTP is verified, update the flag on the User record. This confirms that the user has access to the phone number they provided and is a step towards securing the registration flow.
2. Complete Profile After Verification: After OTP verification, the user provides their full profile details (e.g., full name and password) through the registration completion endpoint. At this stage:
- Update the existing User record with their full name and securely hashed password.
- Mark the user as fully registered in your system.

* Create an API endpoint that accepts an image file as a POST request.
