Changed the 4 default system collection names from kebab-case to Title Case
with spaces for better readability and professional appearance:
Changes:
- "continue-reading" → "Continue Reading"
- "recently-added" → "Recently Added"
- "recently-read" → "Recently Read"
- "not-started" → "Not Started"
Implementation details:
- Collection Name field: Updated to Title Case (user-visible identifier)
- QueryType field: Unchanged, remains kebab-case (internal switch/case logic)
- All map keys updated to use new Title Case names as lookups
- Restore modal option values updated to match new names
Files modified:
- internal/handlers/auth.go: Default collection creation for new users
- internal/handlers/dashboard.go: Restore endpoint validation map
- internal/services/dashboard_service.go: System collection metadata map
- templates/restore_system_collection_modal.templ: Form option values
Benefits:
- Cleaner, more professional display names for end users
- Consistent with existing restore modal UI labels
- Improved user experience with properly formatted collection names
- Internal QueryType identifiers remain unchanged for code logic
The GetPreferences API was returning 404 when no preferences existed
for a library, breaking the dashboard settings modal. Now returns
default preferences (empty hidden_collections, empty collection_order,
20 items_per_section) when no preferences are found, matching the
behavior of the frontend dashboard page.
- Add library_id parameter to BuildSections and getViewAllURL functions
- Update dashboard handler to pass libraryID when building sections
- Add library_id query param support to collection detail page handler
- When library_id is provided, filter collection items by that library
- When no library_id, show all books (backward compatible)
- Reuses GetCollectionItemsForDashboard query for filtered results
- Preserves context when navigating from dashboard to collection detail
Ensure consistent JSON responses by converting nil slices to empty arrays
in the GetPreferences handler. This prevents null values from being
returned to the client for hidden_collections and collection_order fields,
making the API response more predictable and easier to consume.
Update RestoreSystemCollection handler to support form-encoded requests from HTMX:
- Add 'form' struct tags to CollectionName and ResetType fields to enable binding
from both JSON payloads and form submissions (required for HTMX compatibility)
- Add conditional HTMX redirect handling that sets HX-Redirect header when
the request originates from HTMX, directing users to /collections after
successful restoration
This change enables the system collection restore functionality to work seamlessly
with HTMX-based modal forms, improving the user experience by providing proper
navigation after the restore operation completes without requiring JavaScript
redirect logic.
Add comprehensive collection detail page that works for both system collections
(continue-reading, recently-added, not-started) and user collections.
Backend changes:
- Add new /collections/:id route in internal/router/frontend.go
- Fetches collection using GetCollection with UUID parameter
- Determines collection type from QueryType field
- Resolves library_id for system collections
- Converts database.MediaItems to handlers.BookInfo for display
- Renders CollectionDetail template with collection and books data
- Update SectionData struct in internal/handlers/collections.go
- Add CollectionID string field for view all links
- Update BuildSections() in internal/handlers/dashboard.go
- Pass CollectionID to SectionData for proper link generation
- Simplify getViewAllURL() in internal/handlers/dashboard.go
- Return /collections/{collectionID} instead of /section/{type}
- Works uniformly for both system and user collections
Frontend changes:
- Fix CollectionDetail template in templates/collections.templ
- Fix broken div nesting causing compilation error
- Add null check for CoverImagePath to prevent broken images
- Update aspect ratio to modern aspect-[3/4] syntax
- Use responsive widths (w-16 sm:w-20) for mobile/desktop
- Improve card layout with horizontal flex structure
- Add placeholder image fallback for books without covers
- Remove erroneous renderBooks() function call
This change aligns with the backend update where system collections are
now pre-made user collections in the database with query_type fields.
All collections can now use the same CollectionDetail template for a
consistent viewing experience.
- Implement event queue with 3-second debouncing for file system events
- Add configurable polling fallback (default 3 min) via SCAN_POLL_INTERVAL_MINUTES
- Add SyncFilesystemWithDatabase to detect orphaned DB entries and new files
- Integrate utils.ResolveMediaURL for consistent media file path resolution
- Add COOKIE_SECURE env var with SameSite=LaxMode for session cookies
- Update media handler to properly decode URL paths for file serving
- Refactor scanner initialization to accept poll interval configuration
Implement DeleteUser, ResetUserPassword, and UpdateUserAdmin handlers.
Update collections handler to check soft-deleted users. Update dashboard
service to exclude deleted users from statistics.
Add dashboard API endpoints with handler layer:
Step 1: Add SectionData to collections.go
- SectionData struct represents dashboard section (carousel of books)
- Used by: Dashboard handler, Templates (SSR), API JSON responses
- Shared type from collections.go (no duplicate definitions)
- Fields: ID, IsSystem, Title, Description, Icon, Items, ViewAllURL, Priority
Step 2: Create dashboard.go handler
- DashboardHandler struct with injected database and dashboard service
- GetSections: Returns dashboard sections as JSON (mobile apps, web UI TypeScript, plugins)
* Validates library_id parameter
* Fetches user dashboard preferences
* Configurable limit (default 20, max 100)
* Calls service layer for business logic
* Converts service types to handler types for JSON serialization
- UpdatePreferences: Saves dashboard preferences
* Validates library_id
* Upserts user dashboard preferences
- RestoreSystemCollection: Resets system collection to defaults
* Validates collection_name against allowed system collections
* Deletes user's copy (system collection reappears automatically)
- BuildSections: Converts service DashboardSection to handler SectionData
* Converts database.MediaItems to handlers.BookInfo
* Uses shared types from collections.go
- getViewAllURL: Maps system collections to their view-all URLs
- Reuses existing textToString helper from collections.go
Architecture Compliance:
- Generic API handler for reuse by SSR, mobile, plugins
- Uses shared types from collections.go (SectionData, BookInfo)
- IsSystem bool matches database field (no string conversion)
- Single service method returns structured data (simpler, less bugs)
- Handler just converts types (no matching logic needed)
- Reusable by mobile apps, web UI, plugins
