- bookshelf.templ: Fix form field name from "library" to "library_id"
to match the handler's QueryParam("library_id"). Add "All Books"
as the default option in the library filter dropdown. The bookshelf
uses its own inline filter, NOT the universal library switcher.
- collections.templ: Remove @LibrarySwitcher from the collections list
page — collections are not library-specific, so the switcher was
misleading. Fix data-id interpolation bug where {collection.ID} was
rendered as literal text instead of being interpolated.
- series.templ: Replace inline library selector with the universal
@LibrarySwitcher component. SeriesCard links no longer include
library_id since series detail always shows all books.
- dashboard.go: library_id query param is now optional. Empty/missing
library_id is passed as pgtype.UUID{Valid: false} to the service
layer, enabling All Libraries mode.
- series.go: library_id is optional for series listing. GetSeriesBooks
no longer receives a libraryID — it always returns all books in a
series regardless of library.
- collections.go: Restructure GetCollection to handle system
collections (query_type != "") with an optional libraryID. When
libraryID is empty (All Libraries), GetDashboardSections receives
pgtype.UUID{Valid: false} so no library filter is applied.
- dashboard_service.go: Change libraryID parameter from uuid.UUID to
pgtype.UUID across GetDashboardSections, GetDashboardPreferences,
and all helper methods. pgtype.UUID{Valid: false} now signals
"no library filter" (All Libraries), which gets passed through
to sqlc.narg() in the SQL layer.
- series_service.go: Drop libraryID parameter from GetSeriesBooks
entirely. Series are not library-specific — all books in a series
are shown regardless of which library they belong to.
Convert 12 SQL queries to use sqlc.narg('library_id') instead of
direct @library_id parameters. This allows passing a NULL/invalid
pgtype.UUID to mean "no library filter" (i.e., All Libraries),
making the SQL layer correctly handle the optional filter via:
(sqlc.narg('library_id')::uuid IS NULL
OR mi.library_id = sqlc.narg('library_id')::uuid)
Also remove the library_id filter from GetSeriesBooks entirely —
a series is a series regardless of library.
Queries affected:
- GetDashboardSections, GetRecentlyAdded, GetInProgress
- GetHighestRated, GetMostRead, GetAbandonedBooks
- GetLeastRead, GetBooksByTag, GetCollectionItemsForDashboard
- SearchMediaItemsUnified, GetSeriesCardsData
Generated code (queries.sql.go, querier.go) regenerated via sqlc.
Wire up the shared library switcher module on dashboard, collections
list, collection detail, and collection rules pages. All pages use SSR
for initial load and AJAX with fade transitions on library switch.
web/src/collections.ts:
- Add initCollectionsPage() that auto-detects list vs detail page
by checking for #collection-data element
- Collections list: onSwitch fetches /api/collections?library_id=X and
re-renders the grid with per-library book counts
- Collection detail: onSwitch fetches /api/collections/:id?library_id=X
and re-renders the books grid
- Add renderCollectionsGrid() and renderCollectionBooks() with
Alpine.initTree() calls for dynamic content
- Collection cards now link with ?library_id= from selected library
- Update hidden #collection-data data-library-id on switch
web/src/dashboard.ts:
- Replace standalone switchLibrary() with initLibrarySwitcher() +
switchWithTransition() from shared module
- Extract fetchAndRenderSections() helper shared by onSwitch callback,
reloadPage(), and saveDashboardSettings()
- Remove inline #library-select change listener and switch-library
data-action handler (now handled by shared module)
- Scan-complete event handler unchanged (independent incremental logic)
web/src/collection-rules.ts:
- Update backToCollection() to preserve library context by appending
?library_id= from localStorage selectedLibrary key
Replace inline library switcher HTML with shared LibrarySwitcher component
across all collection pages and the dashboard.
templates/collections.templ (Collection):
- Update signature to accept libData []LibraryData, currentLibraryID
- Add @LibrarySwitcher(libData, currentLibraryID) after header
- Change x-init to initCollectionsPage() for unified initialization
templates/collections.templ (CollectionDetail):
- Update signature to accept libData []LibraryData
- Add @LibrarySwitcher(libData, libraryID) after header
- Fix broken "Back to Collections" button: replace non-existent
backToCollections Alpine method with a plain <a href="/collections"> link
- Change x-init to initCollectionsPage() for unified initialization
templates/dashboard.templ:
- Replace 46-line inline sticky library selector (lines 20-66) with
@LibrarySwitcher(libData, currentLibraryID, DashboardActions())
- Dashboard-specific settings and refresh buttons extracted into the
DashboardActions sub-component via the variadic actions parameter
Update frontend route handlers for /collections and /collections/:id
to fetch user-visible libraries and pass libData + currentLibraryID
to templates, enabling the library switcher dropdown.
/collections handler:
- Fetch GetUserVisibleLibraries for the current user
- Derive currentLibraryID from query param, falling back to first library
- Convert to []templates.LibraryData and pass to Collection template
/collections/:id handler:
- Fetch GetUserVisibleLibraries alongside existing book fetching
- Pass libData to CollectionDetail template alongside existing libraryID
- Refactored to use shared libraryID variable across system/user paths
Add optional library_id query parameter support to GetCollections and
GetCollection API handlers for library-scoped book filtering.
GetCollections (GET /api/collections?library_id=X):
- When library_id is provided, include per-library book_count in the
response by querying GetCollectionItemsForDashboard for each collection
- When omitted, returns all collections as before (backward compatible)
- Added BookCount field to CollectionResponse struct
GetCollection (GET /api/collections/:id?library_id=X):
- System collections (non-empty QueryType): uses DashboardService to
fetch library-scoped sections, matching the existing SSR handler logic
- User collections: uses GetCollectionItemsForDashboard for
library-filtered results, excluding soft-deleted items
- When library_id is omitted, returns all books as before
Add reusable library switcher infrastructure that can be used across
dashboard, collections list, and collection detail pages.
New files:
- templates/library_switcher.templ: Shared LibrarySwitcher component
with variadic actions slot for page-specific buttons (e.g. dashboard
settings/refresh). Includes DashboardActions sub-component.
- web/src/library-switcher.ts: Shared module providing:
- initLibrarySwitcher(): syncs dropdown with localStorage, attaches
change listener with configurable onSwitch callback
- switchWithTransition(): generic fade-out -> spinner -> fetch ->
fade-in transition used by all pages
- getCurrentLibraryId(): reads "selectedLibrary" from localStorage
Modified:
- web/src/main.ts: import new library-switcher module
- web/src/types/api.d.ts: add book_count field to CollectionData
Tests were deleting the development admin user, causing ON DELETE SET NULL
to cascade and set created_by_admin_id to NULL on all libraries.
- test_helpers: skip deletion of testuser@tests.bookhoard.internal
- sync_integration_test: use test-sync% prefix for isolated test data
The uploads/ directory is bind-mounted at runtime via docker-compose and
should not be copied into the Docker build context. This was slowing down
builds and including potentially large media files in the context.
When a scan completes, dynamically update the dashboard carousels instead of
requiring a full page reload:
- Listen for bookhoard:scan-complete custom event dispatched by header
- Fetch updated sections from /api/dashboard/sections
- Diff existing book cards by data-media-item-id attribute
- Prepend new items to carousel tracks (afterbegin) to match API sort order
- Create entirely new section DOM for sections that don't yet exist on page
- Remove 'No items' placeholder when items are added
- Scroll carousel to left (scrollLeft=0) so newly prepended items are visible
Also:
- Extract renderSectionHTML() helper from renderDashboardCollections() for reuse
- Add data-media-item-id attribute to book card template for DOM diffing
- Add diagnostic console.log statements for debugging scan-complete flow
Add a scan progress indicator to the header that shows during library scans:
- Spinning SVG icon next to the BookHoard title
- Percentage display during active scans
- Dispatches bookhoard:scan-complete custom DOM event on window when scan
finishes, enabling other components (dashboard) to react without polling
- Auto-resets progress display after 3 seconds
- Uses WebSocket pub/sub via addListener/removeListener with cleanup on
header element removal
Replace the single-listener createWebSocket pattern with a pub/sub model
using addListener/removeListener. This allows multiple components (header
spinner, dashboard refresh) to subscribe to WebSocket messages independently
without clobbering each other's handlers.
- Maintain a Set of message listeners
- Auto-connect on first addListener, auto-disconnect when last listener removed
- Retain reconnect logic with configurable delay
The MessageTypeScanComplete constant existed but was never actually sent by
the worker. This meant the frontend had no way to know when a scan finished.
- After a JobTypeScan completes, broadcast scan_complete to the job's user
via WebSocket ConnectionManager
- Includes job_id, files_scanned, new_items, and errors in the payload
- Only broadcasts for JobTypeScan (not other job types) when connManager
is available and job.UserID is set
When an admin was deleted, the ON DELETE SET NULL foreign key would set
created_by_admin_id to NULL on all their libraries. This caused the scanner
to fail to find an admin ID for broadcasting scan-complete WebSocket messages.
- On admin deletion, reassign all libraries and media items to the next admin
- Prevents created_by_admin_id from ever being NULL on active libraries
- Uses new ReassignLibraries and ReassignMediaItems DB queries
AllowedExtensions in Go was the intended single source of truth for library
type file extensions, but it was never synced to the database. This caused
missing extensions like .pdf for manga to be absent from library_types.
- Add SyncAllowedExtensions() to sync Go AllowedExtensions map to DB
- Call SyncAllowedExtensions() from cmd/server/main.go on startup
- Ensure .pdf is included in manga extensions
The root cause of scanner failures in Podman containers was NOT that
inotify doesn't work through bind mounts (it does — same kernel, same
inodes). The real bug was SetFolders() only watching root directories.
Linux has no recursive inotify — every subdirectory must be added
individually to the watcher.
Changes:
- SetFolders() now walks all subdirectories and adds each to the watcher
(same approach as Audiobookshelf/Kavita)
- Remove broken mtime-based detection: seedDirectoryMtimes,
pollDirectoryChanges, detectChangedRoots, checkDirectoryMtimes,
SyncFilesystemWithDatabase — all unreliable in container overlay mounts
- Replace StartPolling with startBackupScan: enqueues full JobTypeScan
every 5 minutes (down from 30) as a safety-net fallback
- enqueueLibraryScan() sets job.UserID from admin ID so the worker can
broadcast WebSocket messages
- performInitialScan() sets job.UserID for the same reason
- Add [WATCHER] prefix logging to all fsnotify event loop messages
- Add defense-in-depth: fallback to GetFirstAdmin() when library has
no created_by_admin_id (NULL from test cleanup)
- Fix processDirectoryScanJob to use prefix-match (GetLibraryByFolderPathPrefix)
- Fix nil context panic: all jobs now set Context: context.Background()
- Remove mtime-related tests; update default interval test from 30m to 5m
The created_at column stores file modification time (intentional for preserving
original metadata), but this makes 'Recently Added' sorting unreliable for
imported files. Add imported_at column that records the actual database insert
timestamp.
Changes:
- Add imported_at TIMESTAMPTZ column to media_items (nullable)
- Update GetRecentlyAddedItems to sort by imported_at DESC NULLS LAST first
- Add ReassignLibraries and ReassignMediaItems queries for admin deletion handover
- Add SyncLibraryTypeExtensions query for startup extension sync
- Update all media_items SELECT queries to include imported_at column
Podman rootless containers with overlay storage do not propagate inotify
events through bind mounts, making the fsnotify file watcher ineffective.
This caused new files added on the host to go undetected until the
5-minute full-filesystem-walk polling fallback caught them.
Add a lightweight directory mtime polling mechanism that runs every 10
seconds, checking stat() on all subdirectories under watched library
folders against a cached mtime value. When a directory's mtime changes
(indicating files were added/removed/renamed), it feeds into the existing
markDirectoryDirty() → processDirtyDirectories() → job queue pipeline.
Changes:
- Add dirMtimes cache + mutex to MediaScanner struct
- Add seedDirectoryMtimes() to populate cache on startup (prevents
false-positive flood on first poll)
- Add pollDirectoryChanges() goroutine (10s ticker) and
checkDirectoryMtimes() (walks directories, compares mtimes)
- Launch mtime poller from WatchChanges() alongside existing goroutines
- Rename StartPolling logs to [ORPHAN-CLEANUP] to clarify its role
- Change default poll interval from 60s → 30m (new file detection now
handled by the fast mtime poll; full sync focuses on orphan cleanup)
- Update GetScanSettings default from 60 → 1800 seconds
- Add 5 tests: seed cache, skip nonexistent, detect new dir, skip
unchanged, detect modified dir
Expected result: new files detected in ~20 seconds (10s poll + 10s
debounce) regardless of inotify/container support.
Reverts generated Go template files from templ v0.3.1020 back to
v0.3.1001 output. Changes include filename path prefix adjustments
(admin_library.templ → templates/admin_library.templ) and attribute
handling differences (ResolveAttributeValue → JoinStringErrs + EscapeString).
Remove 185 binary files (169 CMaps + 16 standard fonts) from git
tracking. These are build artifacts copied from
node_modules/@bookhoard/foliate-js at build time and should not be
version-controlled.
Changes:
- Remove web/static/vendor/pdfjs/ from git (169 cmap files + 16
standard font files)
- Add web/static/vendor/ to .gitignore
- Drop CJK cmap copying from build scripts — the app is English-only
and CJK support can be re-added later if needed (saves ~1.7MB in
the container image)
- Update all three build scripts (build:ts, build:ts:dev,
build:ts:watch) to copy only standard_fonts/ from node_modules
- Remove cMapUrl from reader.ts PDF config since we no longer ship
cmaps
- Keep standardFontDataUrl pointing to the build-copied fonts which
are needed for PDFs with non-embedded standard fonts (Helvetica,
Times, Courier, etc.)
The postgres container was being healthchecked every 5s which is
aggressive for a database, especially on slower machines or under load.
The bookhoard service was checked every 10s.
- Increase postgres healthcheck interval from 5s to 30s
- Add start_period: 10s to postgres to give it time to initialize
before healthcheck failures count against retries
- Increase bookhoard healthcheck interval from 10s to 30s
templ v0.3.1020 generates different code than v0.3.1001 (uses
ResolveAttributeValue for attribute handling). Regenerated all 33
_templ.go files to match the new runtime.
Newer templ generates ResolveAttributeValue calls that don't exist in
v0.3.1001 runtime, causing Docker build failures ("undefined:
templ.ResolveAttributeValue"). Pin templ CLI version in Dockerfile to
match go.mod instead of using @latest.
Also updated local templ CLI to v0.3.1020 to match.
ErrorToast used Go string literal '{ message }' instead of templ
interpolation, so the actual error message was never shown — just the
literal text "{ message }" appeared in the toast.
Replace the comma-separated text input for tags in the metadata editor
with a badge-based tag picker:
- Current tags shown as removable pill badges (✕ button per tag)
- Autocomplete input queries existing tags via shared tag-dropdown module
- Results shown as inline dropdown (not absolute, avoids overflow clipping
from the modal's overflow-y-auto content area)
- Keyboard navigation: ArrowUp/Down, Enter to select, comma to add new,
Escape to close
- Supports adding new tags not in the database (type + Enter/comma)
- Hidden data-editor-tag spans seed initial tags from server-side render
- collectFormData() now accepts editorTags array, skips the removed
tags text input
The HTML <datalist> approach for tag autocomplete was unreliable across
browsers — showed empty suggestions or no dropdown at all.
Replace with a custom Alpine.js dropdown:
- New tag-dropdown.ts shared module: searchTagSuggestions() queries
/api/media-items/search?tags=...&library_id=... and returns results
- Bookshelf: absolute-positioned dropdown below tags_filter input, shows
tag name + book count per suggestion
- Keyboard navigation: ArrowUp/Down to highlight, Enter to select,
Escape to close
- Click suggestion to populate the filter input
- Add clickable tag badges between comic badges and synopsis, linking to
/tags/detail?name=<tag>&library_id=<id> for browsing books by tag
- Add Contributors as comma-separated row in the metadata grid
- Add data-library-id attribute to body for tag autocomplete API calls
- Fix series badge link: append &library_id= so /series/detail works
when navigated from book detail page (was returning empty/404)
FieldValue struct had no json tags, so Go marshaled fields as uppercase
(Value, Count, Score) but frontend expected lowercase (value, count).
This caused all autocomplete dropdowns (tags, author, series, language)
to silently fail — tagSuggestions[].value was undefined, crashing
toLowerCase() calls and producing empty dropdowns.
Replace the single-purpose SeriesDetail template with a parameterized
BrowseDetail component that accepts badge icon/label, title, page title,
back URL/label, empty state icon/message, and book list. Both series
detail and new tag detail pages use the same template with different
params, eliminating duplication.
Series detail: 📚 Series, back to /series, "All Series"
Tag detail: 🏷️ Tag, back to /bookshelf, "Bookshelf"
Deleted series_detail.templ and series_detail_templ.go.
Updated frontend.go series route to call BrowseDetail with series params.
Added /tags/detail route calling BrowseDetail with tag params.
Replace placeholder toast with full metadata editor Alpine data component:
- Modal show/hide (showMetadataEditor, hideMetadataEditor)
- Accordion section toggle
- Cover upload via FileReader preview
- Cover generation via dynamic cover-generator import
- Cover removal with placeholder fallback
- saveMetadata(): collects form data, sends PUT as JSON or multipart
depending on whether a cover file is present
- Back button fix: skip overwriting sessionStorage back URL when
referrer is the current page (preserves navigation after page reload)
New cover-generator.ts module that dynamically imports foliate-js/view.js
only when cover generation is requested, keeping it out of the main bundle.
Supports all media types:
- PDF (fixed_layout): renders page 1 to canvas via view.renderer
- EPUB/CBZ (reflowable): extracts book.cover blob from parsed metadata
- Falls back to canvas-to-JPEG conversion for non-JPEG sources
- Replace showMetadataEditorPlaceholder() toast with showMetadataEditor()
that opens the metadata editor modal
- Add data-format-group attribute to body for client-side cover generation
- Include @MetadataEditorModal(book) in the page modals section
Add textToString, tagSliceToString, stringSliceToString, and
formatDateForInput to convert pgtype/[]string values into HTML input
value attributes for the metadata editor form fields.
foliate-js could not locate cmaps and standard_fonts at runtime because
no explicit paths were provided to the PDF.js config. This caused
rendering failures for PDFs using CJK fonts or standard PDF fonts.
Changes:
- Pass cMapUrl and standardFontDataUrl to view.open() in reader.ts
- Pin foliate-js fork to commit 74c317d in package.json for reproducibility
- Update build:ts script to copy cmaps/ and standard_fonts/ to
web/static/vendor/pdfjs/ during build
updateMediaItem (used by force rescan) was missing 22 fields including
Language, Genre, PageCount, CopyrightYear, GoodreadsID, and all 14 new
columns from the SQL query fix. Now wires all 37 UpdateMediaItemParams.
Also adds hasSiblingBookFile() early exit in processMediaFile: if a file
is an image (jpg/png/webp/etc) and its directory contains an actual book
file (epub/pdf/cbz/etc), skip importing the image as a standalone media
item. This prevents cover images and interior art from appearing as
duplicate library entries.
The UpdateMediaItem SQL query only SET 23 of 37 media_items columns,
causing all 3 call sites (admin PUT, bulk update, force rescan) to
silently NULL out the 14 unwired fields on every update.
Added: manga_type, reading_direction, series_count, volume, imprint,
age_rating, web_url, metadata_notes, community_rating, story_arc,
is_black_and_white, alternate_info, scan_information, summary.
Regenerated sqlc Go code (queries.sql.go) with 37-param
UpdateMediaItemParams struct.
Remove the library selector dropdown from the series detail page
since the page is scoped to the library from the browse page.
Replace it with a simple '← All Series' back link in the sticky bar.
Add title attributes to the shared BookCard template so the full
book title and author are visible on hover (useful for truncated
text with line-clamp).
Create a new /series/detail?name=X&library_id=Y SSR page that shows
all books in a specific series, replacing the broken approach of
linking to /bookshelf?series_filter=X (the bookshelf SSR handler
ignores all filter query params).
The series detail page features:
- Back link to /series browse page
- Library selector dropdown (full page navigation on change)
- Series name header with book count badge
- Book grid using the shared BookCard template
- Empty state for series with no books
Update all links to point to the new page:
- Series cards on /series browse page
- Series badge on book detail page
- JS-rendered cards in series.ts switchLibrary
Add seriesDetailPage Alpine component for the detail page's
library switcher (simple navigation, no AJAX needed).
The TestGetSeries_SpecialCharactersInName test was failing with a 400
status because the series name 'Series: Book & Other (Vol. 1)' was
interpolated directly into the URL without encoding. The ampersand was
parsed as a query parameter delimiter, corrupting the request.
Use url.QueryEscape() to properly encode the name parameter.
Unit tests:
- series_service_test.go: test continueSeriesRowToMediaItems conversion
with valid fields, null fields, and comprehensive field mapping
- series_test.go: test handler initialization and textToString helper
Integration tests (series_integration_test.go):
- GET /api/series: requires library_id, rejects invalid UUID, returns
empty array for empty library, pagination params, limit clamped to
100, response structure validation, special characters in names
- GET /api/series/books: requires library_id and name, handles
nonexistent series, unauthorized access
- Restore Continue Series system collection
- Dashboard sections include all 5 collections (including continue-series)
Update test helpers:
- Add SeriesHandler to setupTestServer router config
- Add 5th Continue Series collection to createDefaultCollectionsForUser
- Update dashboard integration test for 5 collections
Create web/src/series.ts with Alpine component implementing the same
switchLibrary pattern as the dashboard:
- Fetch /api/series on library change instead of full page reload
- Fade out/in transition with loading spinner
- Re-render series grid and pagination from JSON response
- Save selected library to localStorage
Import series.ts in main.ts.
Add stacked-cascade CSS to input.css for multi-cover series cards:
- Covers cascade from top-left to bottom-right with increasing z-index
- Front cover sits at bottom-right (highest z-index)
- Separate layout rules for 1-7 covers with rotation offsets
- Hover lift effect on series cards
