The "top search bar doesn't work" report had TWO stacked causes, found
by reproducing with real keypress-by-keypress typing instead of
Playwright's fill() (which fires a single input event and masked both):
1. htmx.min.js was included PER PAGE. The header's live search is
htmx-driven on every page, but five pages rendering @Header —
series, admin, admin hash-conflicts, admin processing-issues,
browse-detail — never loaded it: the input's hx-* attributes were
inert (htmx-internal-data absent), so typing produced no request at
all. The include now lives in the header partial itself (classic
script, before the module bundle); the sixteen per-page copies on
@Header pages are removed (double-processing guard). Non-header
pages (login/register/setup/reader/index) keep their own.
2. htmx's delay: modifier on a PROGRAMMATICALLY dispatched custom event
(htmx.trigger) loses the request entirely under rapid successive
triggers — every re-fire canceled the pending timer and the last
never issued, so fast typing (the normal kind) never opened the
dropdown while one-shot fill() worked. The debounce moved into the
Alpine component (client-local state, where it belongs); htmx now
executes the bare `search` event immediately.
Also made bundle staleness structurally impossible: each bundle's
script stamp is a content hash computed at startup (templates/
bundles.go), so a rebuild that changes bundle bytes changes its cache
key with no manual ?v=N bump — the manual stamp was how the first
dropdown fix stayed invisible for a deploy. The reader bundle (never
stamped at all) is covered too. HTML pages additionally send
Cache-Control: no-cache (they are dynamic), so a stale page can no
longer reference a stale stamp; /api, /static and /uploads keep their
native caching, pinned by a middleware test.
Search results now show where you are in a book: a completed check at
the 0.999 threshold (same cut as the filter status arms), a partial
progress bar along the cover while mid-read, nothing when you never
opened it. Rendered in BookCard (any grid whose adapter loads viewer
progress) and in the header-search dropdown rows.
The progress rides a LEFT JOIN reading_progress on the SAME user_id
param SearchMediaItemsUnified already binds for library visibility —
one requester param, no new wire inputs, row-neutral join (the table
is UNIQUE per media_item+user). SearchMediaItemsUnifiedRow and BookInfo
gain the keys additively (viewer_percentage null when unknown,
library_name empty on feeds that don't load it); contract_pins.md
carries the changelog entry and the pin tests widen in lockstep.
The header dropdown itself migrates off the innerHTML string renderer
in search.ts (a rendering-ownership violation: a templ twin existed via
the HX-Request branch). The input now hx-gets layout=dropdown and swaps
the new templ SearchResults partial — titles/authors highlighted
server-side (escape-first, safe by construction), rows with the same
progress overlays — while a slim Alpine component owns only
client-local state (min-length gating, open/close, keyboard selection,
htmx lifecycle). web/src/rendering-allowlist.txt drops the search.ts
baseline to zero accordingly.
Integration test pins the per-user join (fresh user sees 1.0/0.42/null
on the fixture; the shared admin sees null everywhere — read-only) and
the dropdown partial's overlays/count/row count.
Search results navigated to /bookshelf with no filters instead of the
selected book's page. Results now link to /media/:id and display cover
thumbnails, with cover URLs resolved server-side via ResolveMediaURL.
Removes the dead selectedBook localStorage plumbing.
On viewports below 970px the header now collapses to a compact bar with
only the Bookhoard logo and a hamburger button. Clicking the hamburger
reveals a slide-down panel containing:
- Full-text search input (wired to the existing debounced search API)
- Navigation links (Library, All Books, Series, Collections, Progress, Devices)
- Collapsible theme switcher with all 7 themes and 4 bookshelf backgrounds
- User section: profile/admin/logout when logged in, inline login form when logged out
Changes:
- templates/header.templ: add hamburger button, mobile panel with all controls,
hide desktop search/theme/user controls below nav breakpoint
- web/src/header.ts: add mobileMenuOpen state to Alpine header component
- web/src/search.ts: refactor initializeSearch to wire both desktop and mobile
search inputs, track active input for results container placement
- tailwind.config.ts: add custom 'nav' screen breakpoint at 970px so the
mobile menu activates before the search bar becomes unusable
- web/static/style.css: rebuilt with new nav breakpoint utility classes
- storage.ts: Centralize ALL_LIBRARIES = "__all__" sentinel constant.
setSelectedLibrary() now writes both localStorage and a cookie
(selectedLibrary, Path=/, SameSite=Lax, max-age=365d). The
sentinel "__all__" is used in both storage mediums — empty strings
are never stored. getSelectedLibrary() maps __all__ back to "".
Cookie enables server-side rendering to read the stored library
selection without access to localStorage.
- library-switcher.ts: Import ALL_LIBRARIES and setSelectedLibrary/
getSelectedLibrary from storage.ts instead of managing localStorage
directly. Remove local constants.
- dashboard.ts: Remove duplicate localStorage.setItem call that was
overwriting the __all__ sentinel with raw empty string. Fix
reloadPage() and scan-complete handler to work with empty libraryId.
openDashboardSettings/saveDashboardSettings show clear messages for
All Libraries mode.
- collections.ts: Remove library switcher initialization from the
collections list page — the list page no longer has a switcher.
- series.ts: Rewrite to use initLibrarySwitcher from library-switcher
module and switchWithTransition for navigation. Series card links
no longer include library_id in their URLs.
- bookshelf.ts: Autocomplete fetch calls handle empty libraryId
correctly for All Libraries mode.
- search.ts, collection-rules.ts: Use setSelectedLibrary() and
getSelectedLibrary() from storage.ts instead of direct localStorage
access.
Since main.js has 'defer' attribute, the DOM is guaranteed to be
ready when modules execute. These wrappers are unnecessary.
dashboard.ts:
- Removed DOMContentLoaded wrapper, code runs directly
- Event delegation setup runs immediately
custom-section-builder.ts:
- Removed DOMContentLoaded wrapper
- initCustomSectionBuilder() called directly
toast.ts:
- Removed DOMContentLoaded wrapper
- initializeToastSystem() called directly at top level
- Removed dead Alpine.data registration (unused)
search.ts:
- Removed DOMContentLoaded wrapper
- initializeSearch exported for use in header
theme.ts:
- Removed DOMContentLoaded wrapper
- Functions now exported for use in header Alpine component
- Wrap all Alpine.data() object literals in arrow functions (() => ({}))
- This fixes "n.bind is not a function" errors when Alpine initializes components
- Alpine.data() requires a factory function, not a plain object
- Ensures each component instance gets its own closure and proper this binding
Fixed 24 TypeScript files:
- admin.ts, analytics.ts, api.ts, api-explorer-docs.ts
- bookshelf.ts, collection-rules.ts, collections.ts, conflicts.ts
- device-management.ts, docs.ts, header.ts, index.ts
- library.ts, linking.ts, login.ts, password_validation.ts
- profile-modal.ts, profile.ts, queue.ts, register.ts
- search.ts, theme.ts, toast-error.ts, toast.ts, unlinked_books.ts
Before: Alpine.data("name", { method1, method2 })
After: Alpine.data("name", () => ({ method1, method2 }))
This is a critical fix for Alpine.js v3+ where components must be
registered as factory functions to ensure proper reactivity and
prevent binding errors during initialization.
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.
