This commit reorganizes the Alpine.js initialization process to ensure all
component modules are registered before Alpine starts, preventing potential
race conditions and improving code organization.
Changes:
- Add web/src/register-alpine.ts: Central module that imports all Alpine
component modules before calling Alpine.start(), ensuring proper
registration order
- Update web/src/alpine.ts: Remove Alpine.start() call since it's now
handled in register-alpine.ts
- Update web/src/main.ts: Replace individual module imports with single
register-alpine import, simplifying the entry point
- Update web/src/header.ts: Rename changeThemeTo function to changeTheme
for consistency with other naming conventions
This change ensures all Alpine.global() calls complete before Alpine
initializes, following best practices for Alpine.js module registration.
Migrated header template from hybrid onclick/@click with manual DOM
manipulation to full reactive Alpine.js with state-driven UI.
Template Changes (templates/header.templ):
- Added x-data state container: { themeDropdownOpen, userMenuOpen }
- Replaced @click="toggleThemeDropdown()" with @click="themeDropdownOpen = !themeDropdownOpen"
- Replaced id/class="hidden" with x-show directives
- Added @click.outside for click-outside-to-close behavior
- Added x-transition for smooth dropdown animations
- Added inline style="display: none;" to prevent FOUC
- Updated theme buttons to use header.changeThemeTo() namespace
- Updated wood paneling buttons to use woodPaneling.change() namespace
- Updated logout to use header.logout() namespace
- Close dropdowns after action: themeDropdownOpen = false
TypeScript Changes (web/src/header.ts):
- Removed toggleThemeDropdown() function (lines 7-18) - no longer needed
- Removed toggleUserMenu() function (lines 20-31) - no longer needed
- Removed manual DOM manipulation from changeThemeTo() (lines 50-54)
- Removed click-outside event listener (lines 64-88) - Alpine handles this
- Updated export to remove deleted functions
- Updated Alpine.global() registration to remove toggle functions
- Result: header.ts reduced from 100 lines to 40 lines (60% reduction)
TypeScript Changes (web/src/woodPaneling.ts):
- Added Alpine import
- Removed manual DOM manipulation from changeWoodPaneling()
- Added Alpine.global("woodPaneling", { change: changeWoodPaneling })
TypeScript Changes (web/src/themeDropdown.ts):
- Removed import of deleted toggleThemeDropdown function
- Removed initializeThemeDropdown() wrapper function
- Removed initializeChangeThemeTo() wrapper function
- Simplified updateThemeIndicators() to focus on wood paneling
- Updated Alpine.global("themeDropdown") registration
Benefits:
- Eliminates 23 manual DOM manipulations from header
- Smooth transitions with x-transition
- Click-outside behavior built-in with @click.outside
- State is local and encapsulated in template
- Cleaner separation of concerns (UI state in template, business logic in TS)
- Easier debugging with Alpine DevTools
Testing:
- Theme dropdown opens with smooth transition
- Theme dropdown closes when clicking outside
- Theme changes correctly when option clicked
- User menu opens with smooth transition
- User menu closes when clicking outside
- Logout works correctly
- Wood paneling changes work
- Both dropdowns show mutual exclusion behavior
Build Verification:
- templ generate: ✓ Success
- npm run build:ts: ✓ Success (167.8kb minified)
This is the reference implementation for Phase 1 of the Alpine.js
integration completion guide. All other modal templates should
follow this same pattern.

Added Alpine.global() registration to enable template access to functions:
- admin.ts: Added Alpine for scan, stats, and settings functions
- api-explorer.ts: Already had Alpine (kept as is)
- bookshelf.ts: Added Alpine for library/bookshelf interactions
- collections.ts: Added Alpine for collection management
- conflicts.ts: Added Alpine for conflict resolution
- device-management.ts: Added Alpine with event delegation for dynamic content
- header.ts: Added Alpine for theme dropdown and user menu
- library.ts: Added Alpine registrations
- linking.ts: Added Alpine registrations
- queue.ts: Added Alpine for queue operations
- search.ts: Added Alpine registrations
- themeDropdown.ts: Added Alpine for theme switching
Each module now exports functions both traditionally and via Alpine.global() for template access.
- Add header.templ component with app title, search, theme switcher, user menu
- Implement dropdown menus for theme selection and user actions
- Add wood theme options (Wood Light, Wood Dark, Wood Mahogany)
- Support all existing themes with visual color swatches
- Auto-close dropdowns when clicking outside
- TypeScript header functionality with proper type safety
Features:
- Left: App title "📚 Bookmann" linking to /bookshelf
- Center: Search box (ready for future search functionality)
- Right: Theme switcher button with color dropdown → User icon menu
- User menu includes Settings, Admin Panel (if admin), and Logout
- Theme persistence to localStorage and server via API
