This enables future mobile/SPA clients to fetch filter details on-demand without relying on server-side rendering. + +### Key Decision Points + +- ✅ **Reuse existing service method** - `GetSavedFilterByID` query already exists +- ✅ **Follow established patterns** - Match existing handler structure +- ✅ **Minimal code changes** - Only add one new handler method +- ✅ **Backward compatible** - Doesn't affect existing endpoints +- ✅ **Future-proof** - Enables mobile/SPA clients +- ✅ **Follows PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md** - Service layer, test helpers, docs + +--- + +## Current State Analysis + +### Existing Saved Filters API + +**Endpoints Implemented:** +- ✅ `GET /api/saved-filters?resource_type=X` - List all filters (Line 54 in filters.go) +- ✅ `POST /api/saved-filters` - Create filter (Line 91 in filters.go) +- ✅ `PUT /api/saved-filters/:id` - Update filter (Line 160 in filters.go) +- ✅ `DELETE /api/saved-filters/:id` - Delete filter (Line 138 in filters.go) + +**Database Query Already Exists:** +```go +// internal/database/queries.sql.go - Line 4480+ +func (q *Queries) GetSavedFilterByID(ctx context.Context, db database.GetSavedFilterByIDParams) (database.SavedFilters, error) +``` + +**Service Layer Already Uses It:** +```go +// internal/services/filters.go:71-77 +existing, err := s.db.GetSavedFilterByID(ctx, database.GetSavedFilterByIDParams{ + ID: pgtype.UUID{Bytes: filterID, Valid: true}, + UserID: pgtype.UUID{Bytes: userID, Valid: true}, +}) +``` + +### Why This Endpoint Is Needed + +**Current Limitation:** +- SSR approach stores filter data in HTML (data attributes) +- Mobile apps can't access HTML data attributes +- SPA clients need direct API access to filter details +- Future clients need RESTful CRUD operations + +**Solution:** +- Add GET /:id endpoint following REST conventions +- Reuse existing service/database code +- Follow established handler patterns +- Complete CRUD API for saved filters + +--- + +## Implementation Plan + +### Phase 1: Add Handler Method + +#### File: `internal/handlers/filters.go` + +**Location:** After `GetSavedFilters` method (around line 88) + +**Change Type:** Add new handler method + +**Implementation:** + +```go +// GetSavedFilterByID - GET /api/saved-filters/:id +// Retrieve a single saved filter by ID +func (h *FiltersHandler) GetSavedFilterByID(c *echo.Context) error { + user := c.Get("user").(database.Users) + userUUID := uuid.UUID(user.ID.Bytes) + + // Parse filter ID from URL parameter + filterID, err := uuid.Parse(c.Param("id")) + if err != nil { + return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, map[string]string{ + "error": "invalid filter ID", + }) + } + + // Use service layer (includes business logic + ownership verification) + filter, err := h.filtersService.GetSavedFilterByID(c.Request().Context(), userUUID, filterID) + if err != nil { + if err.Error() == "filter not found or access denied" { + return c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, map[string]string{ + "error": "filter not found", + }) + } + return c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, map[string]string{ + "error": "failed to fetch filter", + }) + } + + // Return JSON response (JSONB handled automatically) + response := SavedFilterResponse{ + ID: filterID, + Name: filter.Name, + ResourceType: filter.ResourceType, + Filters: json.RawMessage(filter.Filters), // Return JSONB as-is + CreatedAt: filter.CreatedAt.Time.Format(time.RFC3339), + UpdatedAt: filter.UpdatedAt.Time.Format(time.RFC3339), + } + + return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, response) +} +``` + +**Notes:** +- ✅ Follows existing handler pattern (same as `GetSavedFilters`) +- ✅ Uses service layer (no direct database access) +- ✅ Returns `SavedFilterResponse` struct (already defined) +- ✅ Proper error handling (400, 404, 500) +- ✅ Ownership verification via service layer +- ✅ Matches existing authentication pattern + +--- + +### Phase 2: Add Service Layer Method + +#### File: `internal/services/filters.go` + +**Location:** After `GetSavedFilters` method (around line 32) + +**Change Type:** Add new service method + +**Implementation:** + +```go +// GetSavedFilterByID - Retrieve a single saved filter by ID +func (s *FiltersService) GetSavedFilterByID(ctx context.Context, userID uuid.UUID, filterID uuid.UUID) (database.SavedFilters, error) { + filter, err := s.db.GetSavedFilterByID(ctx, database.GetSavedFilterByIDParams{ + ID: pgtype.UUID{Bytes: filterID, Valid: true}, + UserID: pgtype.UUID{Bytes: userID, Valid: true}, + }) + if err != nil { + return database.SavedFilters{}, fmt.Errorf("filter not found or access denied: %w", err) + } + + return filter, nil +} +``` + +**Notes:** +- ✅ Business logic: Verify filter exists and belongs to user +- ✅ Returns descriptive error for "not found or access denied" +- ✅ Reuses existing database query +- ✅ Follows existing service pattern (similar to UpdateSavedFilter:71-77) +- ✅ No new database code needed + +--- + +### Phase 3: Register Route + +#### File: `internal/router/filters.go` + +**Location:** Line 12 (after existing routes) + +**Change Type:** Add route registration + +**Current Code:** +```go +filters.GET("", cfg.FiltersHandler.GetSavedFilters) +filters.POST("", cfg.FiltersHandler.CreateSavedFilter) +filters.PUT("/:id", cfg.FiltersHandler.UpdateSavedFilter) +filters.DELETE("/:id", cfg.FiltersHandler.DeleteSavedFilter) +``` + +**Updated Code:** +```go +filters.GET("", cfg.FiltersHandler.GetSavedFilters) +filters.GET("/:id", cfg.FiltersHandler.GetSavedFilterByID) // NEW +filters.POST("", cfg.FiltersHandler.CreateSavedFilter) +filters.PUT("/:id", cfg.FiltersHandler.UpdateSavedFilter) +filters.DELETE("/:id", cfg.FiltersHandler.DeleteSavedFilter) +``` + +**Notes:** +- ✅ Follows RESTful routing conventions +- ✅ `/:id` route must come BEFORE `""` route (already correct order) +- ✅ Matches existing route patterns + +--- + +### Phase 4: Integration Tests + +#### File: `cmd/server/tests/filters_test.go` + +**Location:** After existing tests (around line 216) + +**Change Type:**

Current endpoint returns all filters for a resource type, which is reasonable given user-specific data and likely small counts (< 100). Can add pagination later if needed. + +### Q2: Should we add filtering/sorting to GET /api/saved-filters? +**Decision:** Not in this implementation. Current implementation filters by `resource_type` query parameter which is sufficient. Can add more sophisticated filtering later if needed. + +### Q3: Should we return 403 or 404 for cross-user access attempts? +**Decision:** Return 404 to hide existence of other users' filters (security best practice). Don't reveal whether a filter exists - just "not found or access denied". + +### Q4: Should we add ETag/If-None-Match support? +**Decision:** Not in Phase 1. Can add in Phase 2 as a caching enhancement. For now, simple GET /:id is sufficient. + +### Q5: Do we need to validate that the filter ID belongs to the resource type? +**Decision:** Not necessary. The `resource_type` is part of the filter object returned. Clients can verify it matches their expectations.

Search is less common than initial page load. + +### Q4: Should we add accurate pagination count? +**Decision:** Not in Phase 1. Use `len(books)` for now. Can add `COUNT(*)` query in Phase 2 if needed. + +### Q5: What if book fetching fails on server? +**Decision:** Show empty grid with friendly message. Log error but don't crash the page. + +### Q6: Should we respect URL params on initial load? +**Decision:** Respect `limit` and `offset` for pagination.
