Update CreateMediaItem handler:
- Normalize tags for display using NormalizeTags()
- Normalize contributors for display using NormalizeContributors()
- Generate tags_search using NormalizeTagsSearch()
- Generate contributors_search using NormalizeContributorsSearch()
- Pass search fields to database
Update UpdateMediaItem handler:
- Same normalization logic as CreateMediaItem
- Regenerate search fields on updates
Update HandleBulkUpdate handler:
- Add tag normalization with punctuation preference
- Regenerate search fields when tags/contributors updated
All handlers now populate both display and search fields, ensuring
consistent normalization throughout the application.
Relates to Tags & Contributors Migration Phase 6
Changed HandleBulkUpdate to check tags array length before assignment
instead of checking for nil, improving consistency with array handling
and preparing for dual-field normalization implementation.
Convert tags and contributors columns from comma-separated strings to PostgreSQL
TEXT[] arrays for better data normalization and query performance.
Database Changes:
- schema.sql: Change tags/contributors from TEXT to TEXT[]
- schema.sql: Add GIN indexes for fast array searches
- queries.sql: Update search queries to use ANY() operator
- queries.sql: Update fuzzy search with unnest() for arrays
Generated Code (sqlc):
- models.go: Auto-generated with []string types for tags/contributors
- queries.sql.go: Auto-generated with proper array handling
Handler Changes:
- media.go: Update request structs to use []string for tags/contributors
- media.go: Remove pgtype.Text wrapping, use direct array assignment
- media.go: Add tag normalization in CreateMediaItemHandler
- collections.go: Update tags evaluation to join arrays for comparison
- collections.go: Add strings import for Join() function
Service Changes:
- ebook_scanner.go: Update EbookMetadata struct to use []string
- ebook_scanner.go: Remove string Join(), assign arrays directly
- collection_service.go: Update tags rule evaluation to join arrays
- collection_service.go: Add strings import
New Utilities:
- internal/utils/tags.go: Create NormalizeTags(), JoinTags(), SplitTags()
- Normalizes tags by trimming, lowercasing, removing duplicates/empties
API Documentation:
- bruno/media-items/Create Media Item.bru: Update examples to use arrays
- bruno/media-items/Update Media Item.bru: Update examples to use arrays
- Update docs: tags/contributors now array of string
Breaking Change:
- JSON format changes from "tags": "tag1,tag2" to "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
- Tests already use array format (no changes needed)
Benefits:
- GIN indexes enable faster array searches
- Normalization prevents data quality issues (case, duplicates)
- Array operations use PostgreSQL native operators (ANY, &&, unnest)
- Better separation of concerns (no string parsing in application)
- Remove 24 duplicate media CRUD methods from ebook.go (884 lines removed)
- Keep 12 scanner/watch/scheduler methods on Handler
- Move request type declarations to media.go:
* CreateMediaItemRequest
* UpdateMediaItemRequest
* CreateMediaNoteRequest
* UpdateMediaNoteRequest
* CreateMediaHighlightRequest
* UpdateMediaHighlightRequest
- Remove unused imports from ebook.go (strconv, pgx)
- Fix library.go to use MediaHandler.ListMediaItems instead of Handler
ebook.go reduced from 1266 lines to 382 lines (70% reduction)
Handler now has focused responsibility: scanner and scheduler operations only
This completes Phase 7 of the ebook.go refactoring plan.
Result: Clean separation of concerns with no duplicate code
