# 🎬 Carousel-Style Dashboard Redesign Plan
## Overview
Transform the current dashboard into a **production-ready** horizontal carousel layout like Audiobookshelf/Kavita, with:
- Smart sections (Continue Reading, Recently Added, etc.)
- User collections as sections
- Filter-based smart sections (custom collections with auto-assign rules)
- Separate dashboard per library
- Full accessibility, keyboard nav, and touch gestures
- **SSR-first architecture** (data pre-populated server-side, HTMX for updates)
---
## 🏗️ Architecture Compliance
### Project Guidelines Alignment
This plan **adheres to** all PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md requirements with explicit user approval for backend modifications to improve frontend/mobile experience.
**Key Compliance Points:**
✅ **Full-Stack Task** (backend modifications approved):
- Database schema changes
- New service layer for reusable business logic
- New API endpoints for mobile app compatibility
- Bruno DSL tests for all new endpoints
✅ **Frontend Standards**:
- **TailwindCSS classes ONLY** - no custom CSS
- **TypeScript ONLY** - no JavaScript files
- **Procedural/imperative style** - no OOP (classes, inheritance, this-capture)
- **SSR for initial data** - no AJAX on page load
- **Progressive enhancement** - works without JavaScript
- **HTMX for CRUD operations** (library switching, settings updates)
✅ **Code Organization**:
- **Share handler types with templates** - no duplicate type systems
- **All business logic in services** - reusable for SSR/API/mobile
- **Minimal project structure changes** - contextually appropriate directories
✅ **Database Operations**:
- **Merge into existing schema.sql** - no migration files
- **Atomic schema changes** - complete success or rejection
- **Pre-production app** - database will be recreated after schema changes
- **pgx v5 standards** - proper connection handling
✅ **API Documentation**:
- **Bruno .bru files** for all new endpoints
- **Three-context testing** (no user, user, admin)
- **Backward compatibility** for mobile apps
- **docs/developer/api/** documentation updates
---
## 📋 Implementation Plan
### **Phase 1: Database Schema Changes** (2-3 hours)
#### 1.1 Update Schema File (Not Migrations)
**File: `database/schema/schema.sql`** (MODIFY existing file)
**CRITICAL**: This is a pre-production app. After updating schema.sql, recreate database:
```bash
podman compose down -v # Delete volumes (loses all data)
podman compose up -d # Start fresh with new schema
```
**Add to schema.sql**:
```sql
-- Table: user_dashboard_preferences
CREATE TABLE user_dashboard_preferences (
id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
library_id UUID REFERENCES libraries(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
hidden_sections TEXT[] DEFAULT '{}',
section_order TEXT[] DEFAULT '{}',
items_per_section INT DEFAULT 20,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
UNIQUE(user_id, library_id)
);
-- Index for fast lookups
CREATE INDEX idx_dashboard_prefs_user_library ON user_dashboard_preferences(user_id, library_id);
-- Add column to existing collections table
ALTER TABLE collections ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS show_on_dashboard BOOLEAN DEFAULT false;
-- Index for dashboard queries
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_collections_dashboard ON collections(user_id, show_on_dashboard)
WHERE show_on_dashboard = true;
-- Predefined smart sections (system-level, not user-created)
CREATE TABLE smart_section_types (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
section_key TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
title TEXT NOT NULL,
description TEXT,
icon TEXT,
default_priority INT,
is_global BOOLEAN DEFAULT false -- true = uses global data (Recently Added), false = per-user
);
-- Insert default sections
INSERT INTO smart_section_types (section_key, title, description, icon, default_priority, is_global) VALUES
('continue-reading', 'Continue Reading', 'Books you''re currently reading', '📖', 1, false),
('in-progress', 'In Progress', 'Books you''ve started but not finished', '📚', 2, false),
('recently-added', 'Recently Added', 'Newly added items to this library', '🆕', 3, true),
('recently-read', 'Recently Read', 'Books you''ve finished', '✅', 4, false),
('unread', 'Not Started', 'Books you haven''t read yet', '📕', 5, false);
```
#### 1.2 Regenerate Database Code
```bash
cd internal/database
sqlc generate
```
Verify:
- ✅ `models.go` has new structs
- ✅ `queries.sql` is ready for new queries
- ✅ No compilation errors
---
### **Phase 2: Service Layer** (3-4 hours)
**File: `internal/services/dashboard_service.go`** (new file)
**COMPLIANCE**: All business logic in reusable service (per guidelines)
```go
package services
import (
"context"
"bookhoard/internal/database"
"github.com/google/uuid"
)
type DashboardService struct {
db *database.Queries
}
// Section data - use handler types, not template types
type Section struct {
ID string `json:"id"`
Type string `json:"type"` // "smart", "collection"
Title string `json:"title"`
Description string `json:"description"`
Icon string `json:"icon"`
Items []MediaItem `json:"items"`
ViewAllURL string `json:"view_all_url"`
Priority int `json:"priority"`
IsHidden bool `json:"is_hidden"`
}
// MediaItem - REUSE existing handler type
type MediaItem = database.MediaItem
// NewDashboardService creates service instance
func NewDashboardService(db *database.Queries) *DashboardService {
return &DashboardService{db: db}
}
// GetSections fetches all sections for dashboard
// REUSABLE by SSR handlers, API endpoints, mobile apps
func (s *DashboardService) GetSections(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID) ([]Section, error) {
// 1. Get user preferences
prefs, _ := s.db.GetDashboardPreferences(ctx, database.GetDashboardPreferencesParams{
UserID: database.SetUUID(userID),
LibraryID: database.SetUUID(libraryID),
})
// 2. Get smart sections (use existing progress API)
smartSections := s.getSmartSections(ctx, userID, libraryID, prefs)
// 3. Get user collections marked for dashboard
collectionSections := s.getCollectionSections(ctx, userID, libraryID, prefs)
// 4. Merge and sort by priority/user order
return s.mergeAndSortSections(smartSections, collectionSections, prefs)
}
func (s *DashboardService) getSmartSections(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, prefs database.UserDashboardPreferences) []Section {
// Use EXISTING APIs:
// - s.db.GetUniversalProgress for Continue Reading, In Progress, Recently Read
// - s.db.ListMediaItems for Recently Added
// NO direct database access - use queries
}
func (s *DashboardService) getCollectionSections(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, prefs database.UserDashboardPreferences) []Section {
// Query collections WHERE show_on_dashboard = true
// For each collection, fetch items using existing GetCollectionItems
}
func (s *DashboardService) mergeAndSortSections(smart, collections []Section, prefs database.UserDashboardPreferences) []Section {
// Merge by priority or user's section_order preference
}
```
**Key Points**:
- ✅ Service layer holds all business logic
- ✅ Reusable by SSR, API, mobile
- ✅ No direct database access from handlers
- ✅ Uses existing database queries
- ✅ Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
---
### **Phase 3: Database Queries** (1-2 hours)
**File: `internal/database/queries/queries.sql`** (ADD to existing file)
```sql
-- name: GetDashboardPreferences :one
SELECT * FROM user_dashboard_preferences
WHERE user_id = $1 AND library_id = $2;
-- name: UpsertDashboardPreferences :one
INSERT INTO user_dashboard_preferences (user_id, library_id, hidden_sections, section_order, items_per_section)
VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5)
ON CONFLICT (user_id, library_id)
DO UPDATE SET
hidden_sections = EXCLUDED.hidden_sections,
section_order = EXCLUDED.section_order,
items_per_section = EXCLUDED.items_per_section,
updated_at = NOW()
RETURNING *;
-- name: UpdateDashboardPreferences :one
UPDATE user_dashboard_preferences
SET hidden_sections = $2,
section_order = $3,
items_per_section = $4,
updated_at = NOW()
WHERE user_id = $1 AND library_id = $5
RETURNING *;
-- name: GetCollectionsForDashboard :many
SELECT c.* FROM collections c
WHERE c.user_id = $1
AND c.show_on_dashboard = true
ORDER BY c.created_at DESC;
-- name: SetCollectionDashboardVisibility :one
INSERT INTO collections (id, show_on_dashboard)
VALUES ($1, $2)
ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET
show_on_dashboard = EXCLUDED.show_on_dashboard
RETURNING *;
```
Regenerate: `cd internal/database && sqlc generate`
---
### **Phase 4: HTTP Handlers** (2-3 hours)
**File: `internal/handlers/dashboard.go`** (new file)
**COMPLIANCE**: Thin handlers, all logic in service layer
```go
package handlers
import (
"bookhoard/internal/services"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)
type DashboardHandler struct {
db *database.Queries
dashboardSvc *services.DashboardService
}
// NewDashboardHandler creates handler instance
func NewDashboardHandler(db *database.Queries) *DashboardHandler {
return &DashboardHandler{
db: db,
dashboardSvc: services.NewDashboardService(db),
}
}
// GetDashboard renders full dashboard with pre-populated data (SSR)
func (h *DashboardHandler) GetDashboard(c echo.Context) error {
user := MustGetAuthenticatedUser(c)
libraryID := h.getSelectedLibrary(c, user.ID)
// CALL SERVICE (not database directly)
sections, err := h.dashboardSvc.GetSections(c.Request().Context(), user.ID, libraryID)
if err != nil {
return echo.NewHTTPError(http.StatusInternalServerError, "failed to load dashboard")
}
libraries, err := h.db.GetUserVisibleLibraries(c.Request().Context(), user.ID)
if err != nil {
return echo.NewHTTPError(http.StatusInternalServerError, "failed to load libraries")
}
// SSR - pre-populate all data, no client-side API calls
// Use handler types directly (database.Library, etc.) not template types
return c.Render(http.StatusOK, "dashboard", map[string]interface{}{
"User": user,
"Sections": sections,
"Libraries": libraries,
"CurrentLibraryID": libraryID,
})
}
// GetDashboardSections returns partial HTML for HTMX swap
func (h *DashboardHandler) GetDashboardSections(c echo.Context) error {
user := MustGetAuthenticatedUser(c)
libraryID, _ := uuid.Parse(c.QueryParam("library_id"))
sections, err := h.dashboardSvc.GetSections(c.Request().Context(), user.ID, libraryID)
if err != nil {
return echo.NewHTTPError(http.StatusInternalServerError, err.Error())
}
// Return partial template for HTMX
return c.Render(http.StatusOK, "dashboard-sections-partial", sections)
}
// UpdateDashboardPreferences handles settings updates (HTMX POST)
func (h *DashboardHandler) UpdateDashboardPreferences(c echo.Context) error {
user := MustGetAuthenticatedUser(c)
var req struct {
LibraryID string `json:"library_id"`
HiddenSections []string `json:"hidden_sections"`
SectionOrder []string `json:"section_order"`
ItemsPerSection int `json:"items_per_section"`
}
if err := c.Bind(&req); err != nil {
return echo.NewHTTPError(http.StatusBadRequest, "invalid request")
}
// Update via service (through database queries)
// ...
}
```
**Routes to add to `internal/router/router.go`**:
```go
// Dashboard routes
dashboard := e.Group("/dashboard")
dashboard.GET("", cfg.DashboardHandler.GetDashboard)
dashboard.GET("/sections", cfg.DashboardHandler.GetDashboardSections) // HTMX
dashboard.POST("/preferences", cfg.DashboardHandler.UpdateDashboardPreferences) // HTMX/API
// API for mobile apps
apiDashboard := protected.Group("/api/dashboard")
apiDashboard.GET("/sections", cfg.DashboardHandler.GetDashboardSectionsAPI) // JSON
```
---
### **Phase 5: Bruno API Tests** (1 hour)
**COMPLIANCE**: All new endpoints need Bruno DSL tests
**File: `bruno/dashboard/get-dashboard-sections.bru`** (new file)
```bruno
{
"meta": {
"type": "http",
"name": "Get Dashboard Sections",
"seq": 1
},
"req": {
"method": "GET",
"url": "{{baseUrl}}/api/dashboard/sections?library_id={{libraryId}}",
"headers": [
{
"name": "Authorization",
"value": "Bearer {{userToken}}"
}
]
},
"tests": {
"no_user": { "status": 401 },
"user": { "status": 200, "has": "sections" },
"admin": { "status": 200, "has": "sections" }
}
}
```
Create tests for:
1. ✅ `GET /api/dashboard/sections` (no user, user, admin)
2. ✅ `POST /api/dashboard/preferences` (user, admin)
3. ✅ Verify backward compatibility
---
### **Phase 6: Templates** (4-5 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**:
- ✅ Use TailwindCSS classes ONLY (no custom CSS)
- ✅ Share handler types (no template.*Data types)
- ✅ SSR for initial data
- ✅ HTMX for updates
#### 6.1 Main Dashboard Template
**File: `templates/dashboard.templ`** (REPLACE existing)
```templ
package templates
import (
"bookhoard/internal/handlers"
)
// Use handler types directly
templ Dashboard(user handlers.User, sections []services.Section, libraries []handlers.LibraryData, currentLibraryID string) {
Dashboard - Bookhoard
@Header(user, "/dashboard")
for _, section := range sections {
@SectionCarousel(section)
}
@DashboardSettingsModal(sections)
}
```
#### 6.2 Section Carousel Component
**File: `templates/components.templ`** (new file)
```templ
package templates
templ SectionCarousel(section services.Section) {
{ section.Icon }
{ section.Title }
if section.Description != "" {
{ section.Description }
}
View All →
}
templ BookCard(item handlers.MediaItem) {
}
templ DashboardSettingsModal(sections []services.Section) {
Customize Dashboard
Drag to reorder sections, toggle visibility with the switch.
for _, section := range sections {
}
}
```
#### 6.3 HTMX Partial Template
**File: `templates/dashboard_sections_partial.templ`** (new file)
```templ
package templates
templ DashboardSectionsPartial(sections []services.Section) {
for _, section := range sections {
@SectionCarousel(section)
}
}
```
---
### **Phase 7: TypeScript (Procedural)** (4-5 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**:
- ✅ TypeScript ONLY (no .js files)
- ✅ Procedural/imperative style (no classes, no OOP)
- ✅ Progressive enhancement (works without JS)
- ✅ HTMX for updates
#### 7.1 Carousel Interactions
**File: `web/src/carousel.ts`** (new file)
```typescript
// Procedural style - no classes, no OOP
// Functions that operate on DOM elements
const SCROLL_AMOUNT = 300;
export function scrollCarousel(sectionId: string, direction: number): void {
const track = document.getElementById(`carousel-track-${sectionId}`);
if (!track) return;
const scrollAmount = direction * SCROLL_AMOUNT;
track.scrollBy({ left: scrollAmount, behavior: 'smooth' });
}
export function initializeCarousels(): void {
// Add touch/swipe support
const tracks = document.querySelectorAll('.carousel-track');
tracks.forEach(track => {
let isDown = false;
let startX: number;
let scrollLeft: number;
track.addEventListener('mousedown', (e: MouseEvent) => {
isDown = true;
startX = e.pageX - (track as HTMLElement).offsetLeft;
scrollLeft = track.scrollLeft;
});
track.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
isDown = false;
});
track.addEventListener('mouseup', () => {
isDown = false;
});
track.addEventListener('mousemove', (e: MouseEvent) => {
if (!isDown) return;
e.preventDefault();
const x = e.pageX - (track as HTMLElement).offsetLeft;
const walk = (x - startX) * 2;
track.scrollLeft = scrollLeft - walk;
});
// Touch events for mobile
track.addEventListener('touchstart', (e: TouchEvent) => {
startX = e.touches[0].pageX - (track as HTMLElement).offsetLeft;
scrollLeft = track.scrollLeft;
});
track.addEventListener('touchmove', (e: TouchEvent) => {
const x = e.touches[0].pageX - (track as HTMLElement).offsetLeft;
const walk = (x - startX) * 2;
track.scrollLeft = scrollLeft - walk;
});
});
}
// Initialize on DOM ready
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initializeCarousels);
```
#### 7.2 Dashboard Settings
**File: `web/src/dashboard-settings.ts`** (new file)
```typescript
// Procedural functions for modal and settings
export function openDashboardSettings(): void {
const modal = document.getElementById('dashboard-settings-modal');
if (modal) {
modal.classList.remove('hidden');
initializeDragAndDrop();
}
}
export function closeDashboardSettings(): void {
const modal = document.getElementById('dashboard-settings-modal');
if (modal) {
modal.classList.add('hidden');
}
}
function initializeDragAndDrop(): void {
const list = document.getElementById('section-list');
if (!list) return;
const items = list.querySelectorAll('.section-item');
items.forEach(item => {
item.addEventListener('dragstart', handleDragStart);
item.addEventListener('dragover', handleDragOver);
item.addEventListener('drop', handleDrop);
item.addEventListener('dragend', handleDragEnd);
});
}
function handleDragStart(e: DragEvent): void {
const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
target.style.opacity = '0.5';
}
function handleDragOver(e: DragEvent): void {
e.preventDefault();
}
function handleDrop(e: DragEvent): void {
e.preventDefault();
const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
// Reorder logic...
}
function handleDragEnd(e: DragEvent): void {
const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
target.style.opacity = '1';
}
export function toggleSectionVisibility(sectionId: string): void {
// Update local state, save on submit
}
export function saveDashboardSettings(): void {
const sectionList = document.getElementById('section-list');
const items = sectionList?.querySelectorAll('.section-item');
const sectionOrder: string[] = [];
const hiddenSections: string[] = [];
items?.forEach(item => {
const id = item.getAttribute('data-section-id');
if (!id) return;
sectionOrder.push(id);
const checkbox = item.querySelector('input[type="checkbox"]');
if (checkbox && !(checkbox as HTMLInputElement).checked) {
hiddenSections.push(id);
}
});
const data = {
library_id: getCurrentLibraryId(),
hidden_sections: hiddenSections,
section_order: sectionOrder,
items_per_section: parseInt((document.getElementById('items-count-display') as HTMLElement).textContent)
};
fetch('/api/dashboard/preferences', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(() => {
closeDashboardSettings();
location.reload(); // Or HTMX refresh
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Failed to save settings:', error);
showToast('Failed to save settings', 'error');
});
}
function getCurrentLibraryId(): string {
const select = document.getElementById('library-select') as HTMLSelectElement;
return select?.value || '';
}
```
**Build setup**:
```json
// package.json - add TypeScript build
{
"scripts": {
"build:carousel": "esbuild web/src/carousel.ts --bundle --minify --outfile=web/static/carousel.js",
"build:dashboard-settings": "esbuild web/src/dashboard-settings.ts --bundle --minify --outfile=web/static/dashboard-settings.js"
}
}
```
---
### **Phase 8: Book Detail Page** (3-4 hours)
**File: `templates/book_detail.templ`** (new file)
**COMPLIANCE**: Use handler types, TailwindCSS, SSR
```templ
package templates
templ BookDetail(user handlers.User, book handlers.MediaItem, progress handlers.ReadingProgress, rating float64, collections []handlers.CollectionData) {
{ book.Title } - Bookhoard
@Header(user, "")
@if book.CoverImagePath.Valid {

} @else {

}
{ book.Title }
@if book.Author.Valid {
by { book.Author.String }
}
@if progress.Percentage > 0 {
Reading Progress
{ fmt.Sprintf("%.0f%%", progress.Percentage) }
}
Details
@if book.Series.Valid {
| Series |
{ book.Series.String } |
}
@if book.Genre.Valid {
| Genre |
{ book.Genre.String } |
}
| Pages |
{ book.PageCount.Int32 } |
@if book.Description.Valid {
Synopsis
{ book.Description.String }
}
}
```
---
### **Phase 9: Documentation** (1-2 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**: Update documentation per guidelines
#### 9.1 User Documentation
**File: `docs/user/dashboard.md`** (new file)
```markdown
# Dashboard
The Bookhoard dashboard provides a Carousel-style horizontal carousel interface for browsing your book library.
## Sections
### Smart Sections
**Continue Reading**: Books you're currently reading, sorted by last read time.
**In Progress**: Books you've started but haven't finished.
**Recently Added**: Newest items added to your library (global across all users).
**Recently Read**: Books you've completed (100% progress).
**Not Started**: Books with no reading progress.
### User Collections
Any collection marked with "Show on Dashboard" will appear as a section.
### Customizing Your Dashboard
1. Click the ⚙️ (gear icon) in the top-right
2. Drag sections to reorder
3. Toggle visibility with switches
4. Adjust items per section (10-50)
5. Click "Save Changes"
### Library Switching
Use the dropdown in the sticky header to switch between libraries. Settings are per-library.
```
#### 9.2 API Documentation
**File: `docs/developer/api/dashboard/sections.md`** (new file)
```markdown
# Get Dashboard Sections
Returns all dashboard sections for the specified library.
## Endpoint
`GET /api/dashboard/sections`
## Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| library_id | string | Yes | Library UUID |
## Response
```json
{
"sections": [
{
"id": "continue-reading",
"type": "smart",
"title": "Continue Reading",
"icon": "📖",
"items": [...],
"view_all_url": "/section/continue-reading"
}
]
}
```
## Examples
See `bruno/dashboard/get-dashboard-sections.bru`
```

### **Phase 10: Testing & Verification** (2-3 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**: Follow testing guidelines from test_helpers.go
#### 10.1 Integration Tests
**File: `cmd/server/tests/dashboard_test.go`** (new file)
**Pattern**: Call `setupTestServer(t)` ONCE, use `t.Run()` for subtests
```go

#### 10.2 Bruno API Tests
**Files Created** (`bruno/dashboard/`):
All Bruno files follow proper format (matching existing project files):
- ✅ Proper `meta` block with `name` (NO quotes around name value)
- ✅ Valid method blocks (get/post/put) with url, headers, body/query
- ✅ Tests block with `test()` function syntax (not assert blocks)
- ✅ Snake_case variables from environment (`base_url`, `user_token`, `library_id`)
- ✅ Proper `auth: inherit` for authenticated endpoints
- ✅ Balanced braces
- ✅ `docs` block with API documentation
**File Examples**:
**`get-dashboard-sections.bru`**:
```bru
meta {
name: Get Dashboard Sections
type: http
seq: 1
}
get {
url: {{base_url}}/api/dashboard/sections
body: none
auth: inherit
query: {
library_id: "{{library_id}}"
}
}
tests {
test("status must be 200 with auth", function() {
expect(res.status).to.eql(200);
});
test("response has sections array", function() {
const body = JSON.parse(res.body);
expect(body).to.have.property("sections");
expect(body.sections).to.be.an("array");
});
}
```
**Key Bruno Requirements** (matching existing files):
- ❌ `name: "Get Dashboard"` (wrong - has quotes)
- ✅ `name: Get Dashboard` (correct - no quotes)
- ❌ `{{baseUrl}}` (wrong - camelCase)
- ✅ `{{base_url}}` (correct - snake_case)
- ❌ `assert { assertions: [...] }` (wrong - old format)
- ✅ `test("name", function() { expect(...).to.eql(...) })` (correct)
- ✅ Use `auth: inherit` instead of manual Authorization headers
- ✅ Include `docs` block with API documentation
- ✅ Include `settings` block with `encodeUrl: true` and `timeout: 0`
**Complete Bruno Files Created**:
1. `get-dashboard-sections.bru` - Get sections for library
2. `update-preferences.bru` - Update user dashboard preferences
3. `get-sections-by-library.bru` - Filter sections by library
4. `create-collection-with-dashboard.bru` - Create collection with `show_on_dashboard: true`
5. `update-collection-visibility.bru` - Toggle collection dashboard visibility
**All 5 files validated successfully** ✅
#### 10.3 Important: Test Helper Guidelines
**From PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md**:
✅ **ALWAYS use `setupTestServer()` helper**:
- Call it ONCE per test function (not in subtests)
- Uses `max_conns=1` to prevent connection exhaustion
- Automatic cleanup via `t.Cleanup()` (no defer needed)
- Returns `*TestServerSetup` with DB, Server, Config
❌ **NEVER create separate database pools per test**:
- 78 tests × 4 connections (default) = 312 connections > PostgreSQL's 100 limit
- That's why we use `max_conns=1` in test configuration
✅ **Share one test setup across all subtests**:
```go
func TestDashboard(t *testing.T) {
setup := setupTestServer(t) // ✅ ONCE
token := loginTestUser(t, setup.Server, setup.DB)
t.Run("Subtest1", func(t *testing.T) { /* use setup */ })
t.Run("Subtest2", func(t *testing.T) { /* use setup */ })
}
```
❌ **NEVER call setupTestServer() in loops**:
```go
// ❌ WRONG - creates multiple DB pools
for _, tc := range cases {
setup := setupTestServer(t) // DON'T DO THIS
}
```
✅ **DO**:
```go
func TestFeature(t *testing.T) {
setup := setupTestServer(t) // ✅ ONCE per function
token := loginTestUser(t, setup.Server, setup.DB)
t.Run("Subtest1", func(t *testing.T) {
// Use setup, token
})
t.Run("Subtest2", func(t *testing.T) {
// Use same setup, token
})
}
```
❌ **DON'T**:
```go
func TestFeature(t *testing.T) {
t.Run("Subtest1", func(t *testing.T) {
setup := setupTestServer(t) // ❌ Creates extra DB connections
})
t.Run("Subtest2", func(t *testing.T) {
setup := setupTestServer(t) // ❌ Exhausts connection pool
})
}
```
**Three-Context Testing**:
```go
t.Run("WithoutAuth", func(t *testing.T) {
// No Authorization header → expect 401
})
t.Run("WithRegularUser", func(t *testing.T) {
token := loginRegularUser(t, setup.Server, setup.DB)
// Regular user context → expect 200/403 depending on endpoint
})
t.Run("WithAdmin", func(t *testing.T) {
token := loginTestUser(t, setup.Server, setup.DB)
// Admin context → expect 200
})
```
#### 10.4 Verification Checklist
Before committing:
```bash
# 1. Run verification script
bash scripts/verify-guidelines.sh
# 2. Build affected packages
go build ./internal/handlers
go build ./internal/services
go build ./templates
# 3. Run tests
go test ./cmd/server/tests/... -v -run TestDashboard
# 4. Check for TypeScript
# No .js files allowed, only .ts
# 5. Check for custom CSS
# Should only use TailwindCSS classes
# 6. Verify docs render
# Visit /docs endpoint and search for "dashboard"
```
