# 🎬 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)
---
## ⚠️ Prerequisites: TypeScript Conversion First
**IMPORTANT:** This plan assumes the **TypeScript Conversion Plan** has been completed first.
**Required Infrastructure from TypeScript Conversion Plan:**
- ✅ `web/ts/core/api.ts` - Centralized API client with auth
- ✅ `web/ts/core/toast.ts` - Toast notification system
- ✅ `web/ts/shared/events.ts` - Event delegation utilities
- ✅ `web/ts/core/storage.ts` - localStorage wrapper
- ✅ `web/ts/core/dom.ts` - DOM utilities (escapeHtml, etc.)
- ✅ Event delegation pattern established (data attributes)
- ✅ TypeScript compilation pipeline in place (`npm run build:ts`)
**Execution Order:**
1. Complete TypeScript Conversion Plan (16-21 days)
2. Execute this updated Carousel Dashboard Plan (3-4 days)
**Timeline:** 19-25 days total (no rework, consistent patterns)
---
## 🏗️ 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 tests already created in `bruno/dashboard/`
✅ **Frontend Standards** (Updated for Post-TypeScript Conversion):
- **TailwindCSS classes ONLY** - no custom CSS
- **TypeScript** in `web/ts/features/dashboard/` (no inline JavaScript)
- **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)
- **Event delegation pattern** - `data-action` attributes (no inline `onclick`)
- **Shared API client** - `apiClient` from `web/ts/core/api.ts`
✅ **Code Organization**:
- **Template types in templates/types.go** - SectionData, BookCardData
- **All business logic in services** - reusable for SSR/API/mobile
- **TypeScript in web/ts/features/dashboard/** - follows TypeScript Conversion Plan structure
✅ **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 tests** already created in `bruno/dashboard/`
- - 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"
"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgtype"
)
type DashboardService struct {
db *database.Queries
}
// NewDashboardService creates service instance
func NewDashboardService(db *database.Queries) *DashboardService {
return &DashboardService{db: db}
}
// SectionItems contains raw items for a section - handler formats into SectionData
type SectionItems struct {
SectionKey string
Items []database.MediaItems
}
// GetSectionItems fetches raw items for each section type
// Accepts user preferences to customize order and visibility
// Handler will format these into template.SectionData
func (s *DashboardService) GetSectionItems(
ctx context.Context,
userID, libraryID uuid.UUID,
limit int,
sectionOrder []string, // User's custom order (empty = default)
hiddenSections []string, // User's hidden sections (empty = show all)
) ([]SectionItems, error) {
var results []SectionItems
// 1. Continue Reading - items with progress > 0 and < 1
continueReading, _ := s.getContinueReading(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit)
results = append(results, SectionItems{SectionKey: "continue-reading", Items: continueReading})
// 2. In Progress - items with progress > 0
inProgress, _ := s.getInProgress(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit)
results = append(results, SectionItems{SectionKey: "in-progress", Items: inProgress})
// 3. Recently Added - newest items in library
recentlyAdded, _ := s.getRecentlyAdded(ctx, libraryID, limit)
results = append(results, SectionItems{SectionKey: "recently-added", Items: recentlyAdded})
// 4. Recently Read - items with progress = 1
recentlyRead, _ := s.getRecentlyRead(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit)
results = append(results, SectionItems{SectionKey: "recently-read", Items: recentlyRead})
// 5. Not Started - items with no progress
unread, _ := s.getUnread(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit)
results = append(results, SectionItems{SectionKey: "unread", Items: unread})
// 6. User collections marked for dashboard
collectionItems, _ := s.getCollectionSections(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit)
results = append(results, collectionItems...)
// Apply user preferences: filter hidden sections
results = s.filterHiddenSections(results, hiddenSections)
// Apply user preferences: reorder sections
results = s.reorderSections(results, sectionOrder)
return results, nil
}
// filterHiddenSections removes sections the user has hidden
func (s *DashboardService) filterHiddenSections(items []SectionItems, hidden []string) []SectionItems {
if len(hidden) == 0 {
return items // No filters, return all
}
var filtered []SectionItems
for _, item := range items {
isHidden := false
for _, h := range hidden {
if item.SectionKey == h {
isHidden = true
break
}
}
if !isHidden {
filtered = append(filtered, item)
}
}
return filtered
}
// reorderSections reorders sections according to user's custom order
// Sections not in custom order are appended at the end
func (s *DashboardService) reorderSections(items []SectionItems, order []string) []SectionItems {
if len(order) == 0 {
return items // No custom order, return as-is
}
// Create ordered result
var ordered []SectionItems
remaining := make(map[string]SectionItems)
for _, item := range items {
remaining[item.SectionKey] = item
}
// Add sections in user's preferred order
for _, key := range order {
if item, exists := remaining[key]; exists {
ordered = append(ordered, item)
delete(remaining, key)
}
}
// Append any sections not in custom order (e.g., new collections)
for _, item := range items {
if _, exists := remaining[item.SectionKey]; exists {
ordered = append(ordered, item)
}
}
return ordered
}
func (s *DashboardService) getContinueReading(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]database.MediaItems, error) {
// Query media items WHERE progress > 0 AND progress < 1
// Ordered by last_read_at DESC
}
func (s *DashboardService) getInProgress(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]database.MediaItems, error) {
// Query media items WHERE progress > 0
}
func (s *DashboardService) getRecentlyAdded(ctx context.Context, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]database.MediaItems, error) {
// Query media items ORDER BY created_at DESC
}
func (s *DashboardService) getRecentlyRead(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]database.MediaItems, error) {
// Query media items WHERE progress >= 1 (completed)
}
func (s *DashboardService) getUnread(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]database.MediaItems, error) {
// Query media items with no reading_progress record
}
func (s *DashboardService) getCollectionSections(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]SectionItems, error) {
// Query collections WHERE show_on_dashboard = true
// Return SectionItems for each collection
}
// GetDashboardPreferences fetches user preferences for a library
func (s *DashboardService) GetDashboardPreferences(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID) (database.UserDashboardPreferences, error) {
return s.db.GetDashboardPreferences(ctx, database.GetDashboardPreferencesParams{
UserID: pgtype.UUID{Bytes: userID, Valid: true},
LibraryID: pgtype.UUID{Bytes: libraryID, Valid: true},
})
}
```
**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)
- ✅ Returns raw data - handler formats for templates
---
### **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: API Handler** (1-2 hours)
**File: `internal/handlers/dashboard.go`** (new file)
**COMPLIANCE**: Generic API handler for reuse by SSR, mobile, plugins
```go
package handlers
import (
"net/http"
"strconv"
"bookhoard/internal/database"
"bookhoard/internal/services"
"bookhoard/templates"
"github.com/google/uuid"
"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgtype"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)
type DashboardHandler struct {
db *database.Queries
dashboardService *services.DashboardService
}
func NewDashboardHandler(db *database.Queries) *DashboardHandler {
return &DashboardHandler{
db: db,
dashboardService: services.NewDashboardService(db),
}
}
// GetSections returns dashboard sections as JSON
// Used by: Mobile apps, web UI TypeScript, plugins
func (h *DashboardHandler) GetSections(c echo.Context) error {
user := c.Get("user").(database.Users)
userUUID := uuid.UUID(user.ID.Bytes)
// Get library_id from query param
libraryID := c.QueryParam("library_id")
if libraryID == "" {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, map[string]string{"error": "library_id required"})
}
libUUID, err := uuid.Parse(libraryID)
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, map[string]string{"error": "invalid library_id"})
}
// Get user's dashboard preferences (customization)
prefs, _ := h.dashboardService.GetDashboardPreferences(c.Request().Context(), userUUID, libUUID)
// Get limit from query param (default 20)
limit := 20
if limitStr := c.QueryParam("limit"); limitStr != "" {
if l, err := strconv.Atoi(limitStr); err == nil && l > 0 && l <= 100 {
limit = l
}
}
// Get sections (applies user's order and hidden sections)
sectionItems, err := h.dashboardService.GetSectionItems(
c.Request().Context(),
userUUID,
libUUID,
limit,
prefs.SectionOrder,
prefs.HiddenSections,
)
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, map[string]string{"error": "Failed to load sections"})
}
// Convert to JSON response format
sections := buildJSONSections(sectionItems)
return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, map[string]interface{}{"sections": sections})
}
// buildJSONSections converts service SectionItems to JSON-serializable format
func buildJSONSections(items []services.SectionItems) []map[string]interface{} {
sections := make([]map[string]interface{}, len(items))
for i, item := range items {
// Convert database.MediaItems to simplified book format
books := make([]map[string]interface{}, len(item.Items))
for j, book := range item.Items {
bookUUID, _ := uuid.FromBytes(book.ID.Bytes[0:16])
books[j] = map[string]interface{}{
"id": bookUUID.String(),
"title": book.Title,
"author": book.Author.String,
"cover_image_path": book.CoverImagePath.String,
}
}
sections[i] = map[string]interface{}{
"id": item.SectionKey,
"type": getSectionType(item.SectionKey),
"title": getSectionTitle(item.SectionKey),
"icon": getSectionIcon(item.SectionKey),
"items": books,
"view_all_url": getSectionViewAllURL(item.SectionKey),
}
}
return sections
}
// Helper functions for section metadata
func getSectionType(key string) string {
// Return "smart" or "collection" based on key
smartSections := map[string]bool{
"continue-reading": true,
"in-progress": true,
"recently-added": true,
"recently-read": true,
"unread": true,
}
if smartSections[key] {
return "smart"
}
return "collection"
}
func getSectionTitle(key string) string {
titles := map[string]string{
"continue-reading": "Continue Reading",
"in-progress": "In Progress",
"recently-added": "Recently Added",
"recently-read": "Recently Read",
"unread": "Not Started",
}
if title, exists := titles[key]; exists {
return title
}
return key // Collection name
}
func getSectionIcon(key string) string {
icons := map[string]string{
"continue-reading": "📖",
"in-progress": "📚",
"recently-added": "🆕",
"recently-read": "✅",
"unread": "📕",
}
if icon, exists := icons[key]; exists {
return icon
}
return "📚" // Default collection icon
}
func getSectionViewAllURL(key string) string {
urls := map[string]string{
"continue-reading": "/section/continue-reading",
"in-progress": "/section/in-progress",
"recently-added": "/section/recently-added",
"recently-read": "/history",
"unread": "/section/unread",
}
if url, exists := urls[key]; exists {
return url
}
return "" // Collections don't have view-all URLs
}
```
**Key Points**:
- ✅ Generic JSON API endpoint
- ✅ Applies user preferences (order, hidden sections)
- ✅ Reusable by mobile apps, web UI, plugins
- ✅ Returns sections in user's customized order
- ✅ Respects hidden sections preference
---
### **Phase 5: API Router** (30 min)
**File: `internal/router/dashboard.go`** (new file)
**COMPLIANCE**: Follow existing router pattern (see router/collections.go)
```go
package router
import (
"bookhoard/internal/handlers"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)
func registerDashboardRoutes(cfg *Config) {
e := cfg.Echo
// API routes (JSON endpoints)
// Uses JWT middleware from router.go
apiGroup := e.Group("/api", cfg.jwtMiddleware)
dashboard := apiGroup.Group("/dashboard")
dashboard.GET("/sections", cfg.DashboardHandler.GetSections)
}
```
**Add to `internal/router/router.go` Config struct** (around line 34):
```go
type Config struct {
// ... existing fields ...
DashboardHandler *handlers.DashboardHandler
}
```
**Add to `internal/router/router.go` setup function** (where routes are registered):
```go
// Register dashboard routes
registerDashboardRoutes(cfg)
```
**Initialize handler in `cmd/server/main.go`** (where other handlers are created):
```go
cfg.DashboardHandler = handlers.NewDashboardHandler(cfg.Queries)
```
---
### **Phase 6: Frontend Routes (SSR)** (1-2 hours)
**File: `internal/router/frontend.go`** (MODIFY existing file)
**COMPLIANCE**: SSR routes stay in frontend.go, use same service layer
**Modify existing `/dashboard` route** (around line 105):
```go
// Dashboard page - modified to load sections SSR
frontendProtected.GET("/dashboard", func(c echo.Context) error {
user, err := getTemplateUserWithTheme(c, cfg)
if err != nil {
return c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "Error loading user")
}
// Get library ID from query param, or use first visible library
libraryID := c.QueryParam("library_id")
if libraryID == "" {
// Get user's first visible library
libraries, err := cfg.Queries.GetUserVisibleLibraries(c.Request().Context(), user.ID)
if err == nil && len(libraries) > 0 {
libUUID, _ := uuid.FromBytes(libraries[0].ID.Bytes[0:16])
libraryID = libUUID.String()
}
}
libUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(libraryID)
userUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(user.ID)
// Get user's dashboard preferences (customization)
prefs, _ := cfg.DashboardService.GetDashboardPreferences(c.Request().Context(), userUUID, libUUID)
// Get sections from service (applies user's order + hidden sections)
sectionItems, err := cfg.DashboardService.GetSectionItems(
c.Request().Context(),
userUUID,
libUUID,
prefs.ItemsPerSection,
prefs.SectionOrder,
prefs.HiddenSections,
)
if err != nil {
return c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "Error loading dashboard")
}
// Get libraries for selector
libraries, err := cfg.Queries.GetUserVisibleLibraries(c.Request().Context(), user.ID)
if err != nil {
return c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "Error loading libraries")
}
// Convert to template types
libData := make([]templates.LibraryData, len(libraries))
for i, lib := range libraries {
libUUID, _ := uuid.FromBytes(lib.ID.Bytes[0:16])
libData[i] = templates.LibraryData{
ID: libUUID.String(),
Name: lib.Name,
Description: lib.Description.String,
TypeName: lib.TypeName,
}
}
// Build sections (converts service items to template types)
sections := buildSections(sectionItems, prefs)
var buf bytes.Buffer
err = templates.Dashboard(user, sections, libData, libraryID).Render(c.Request().Context(), &buf)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return c.HTML(http.StatusOK, buf.String())
})
```
**Add `/settings` route** (new, after `/admin/profile` route):
```go
// User settings page (moved from admin)
frontendProtected.GET("/settings", func(c echo.Context) error {
user, err := getTemplateUserWithTheme(c, cfg)
if err != nil {
return c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "Error loading user")
}
// Get user's full data including dashboard preferences
userUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(user.ID)
userDB, err := cfg.Queries.GetUser(c.Request().Context(), uuidToPGType(userUUID))
if err != nil {
return c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "Error loading user data")
}
// Get dashboard preferences
dashPrefs, _ := cfg.DashboardService.GetDashboardPreferences(
c.Request().Context(),
userUUID,
uuid.Nil, // Get default preferences
)
var buf bytes.Buffer
err = templates.Settings(user, userDB, dashPrefs).Render(c.Request().Context(), &buf)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return c.HTML(http.StatusOK, buf.String())
})
frontendProtected.POST("/settings", func(c echo.Context) error {
user, err := getTemplateUserWithTheme(c, cfg)
if err != nil {
return c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "Error loading user")
}
var req struct {
Email string `json:"email"`
Username string `json:"username"`
FirstName string `json:"first_name"`
LastName string `json:"last_name"`
Theme string `json:"theme"`
// Dashboard preferences
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 c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, map[string]string{"error": "Invalid request"})
}
userUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(user.ID)
libUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(req.LibraryID)
// Update user info
_, err = cfg.Queries.UpdateUser(c.Request().Context(), database.UpdateUserParams{
ID: uuidToPGType(userUUID),
Email: pgtype.Text{String: req.Email, Valid: true},
Username: req.Username,
Theme: pgtype.Text{String: req.Theme, Valid: true},
FirstName: pgtype.Text{String: req.FirstName, Valid: true},
LastName: pgtype.Text{String: req.LastName, Valid: true},
})
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, map[string]string{"error": "Failed to update settings"})
}
// Save dashboard preferences
_, err = cfg.DashboardService.UpsertDashboardPreferences(c.Request().Context(), database.UpsertDashboardPreferencesParams{
UserID: uuidToPGType(userUUID),
LibraryID: uuidToPGType(libUUID),
HiddenSections: req.HiddenSections,
SectionOrder: req.SectionOrder,
ItemsPerSection: pgtype.Int4{Int32: int32(req.ItemsPerSection), Valid: true},
})
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, map[string]string{"error": "Failed to save preferences"})
}
// Return updated user data
updatedUser, _ := getTemplateUserWithTheme(c, cfg)
return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, updatedUser)
})
```
**Add to `internal/router/router.go` Config struct** (around line 34):
```go
type Config struct {
// ... existing fields ...
DashboardService *services.DashboardService
}
```
**Note**: SSR routes stay in frontend.go. API routes are in handlers/dashboard.go following the established pattern (see handlers/collections.go). Both use the same DashboardService for single source of truth.
**Add helper function to `internal/router/frontend.go`**:
```go
// Smart section definitions (static metadata)
var smartSectionDefs = map[string]struct {
Title string
Description string
Icon string
ViewAllURL string
Priority int
}{
"continue-reading": {"Continue Reading", "Books you're currently reading", "📖", "/section/continue-reading", 1},
"in-progress": {"In Progress", "Books you've started but not finished", "📚", "/section/in-progress", 2},
"recently-added": {"Recently Added", "Newly added items to this library", "🆕", "/section/recently-added", 3},
"recently-read": {"Recently Read", "Books you've finished", "✅", "/history", 4},
"unread": {"Not Started", "Books you haven't read yet", "📕", "/section/unread", 5},
}
// buildSections converts service SectionItems to template SectionData
func buildSections(items []services.SectionItems, prefs database.UserDashboardPreferences) []templates.SectionData {
var sections []templates.SectionData
for _, si := range items {
def, isSmart := smartSectionDefs[si.SectionKey]
var title, description, icon, viewAllURL string
var priority int
var sectionType string
if isSmart {
title = def.Title
description = def.Description
icon = def.Icon
viewAllURL = def.ViewAllURL
priority = def.Priority
sectionType = "smart"
} else {
// Collection section
title = si.SectionKey
sectionType = "collection"
icon = "📚"
priority = 100
}
// Convert database.MediaItems to template.BookCardData
bookCards := make([]templates.BookCardData, len(si.Items))
for i, item := range si.Items {
itemUUID, _ := uuid.FromBytes(item.ID.Bytes[0:16])
bookCards[i] = templates.BookCardData{
ID: itemUUID.String(),
Title: item.Title,
Author: item.Author.String,
CoverImagePath: item.CoverImagePath.String,
}
}
sections = append(sections, templates.SectionData{
ID: si.SectionKey,
Type: sectionType,
Title: title,
Description: description,
Icon: icon,
Items: bookCards,
ViewAllURL: viewAllURL,
Priority: priority,
})
}
return sections
}
```
---
### **Phase 7: Template Types** (30 min)
**File: `templates/types.go`** (ADD to existing file)
Add new types to support dashboard:
```go
// SectionData represents a dashboard section (carousel)
type SectionData struct {
ID string `json:"id"`
Type string `json:"type"` // "smart", "collection"
Title string `json:"title"`
Description string `json:"description"`
Icon string `json:"icon"`
Items []BookCardData `json:"items"`
ViewAllURL string `json:"view_all_url"`
Priority int `json:"priority"`
IsHidden bool `json:"is_hidden"`
}
// BookCardData represents a book in a carousel card
type BookCardData struct {
ID string `json:"id"`
Title string `json:"title"`
Author string `json:"author"`
CoverImagePath string `json:"cover_image_path"`
}
```
---
### **Phase 8: Settings Template** (2 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**: Use template types, TailwindSSR, SSR
**File: `templates/settings.templ`** (new file)
```templ
package templates
import (
"bookhoard/internal/database"
)
templ Settings(user User, userDB database.Users, dashPrefs database.UserDashboardPreferences) {
Settings - Bookhoard
@Header(user, "/settings")
}
```
---
### **Phase 9: Templates** (4-5 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**:
- ✅ Use TailwindCSS classes ONLY (no custom CSS)
- ✅ Use template types (SectionData, BookCardData, User, LibraryData)
- ✅ SSR for initial data
- ✅ HTMX for updates
- ✅ **Event delegation pattern** (no inline onclick)
- ✅ **Data attributes** for TypeScript integration
#### 6.1 Main Dashboard Template
**File: `templates/dashboard.templ`** (REPLACE existing)
```templ
package templates
templ Dashboard(user User, sections []SectionData, libraries []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`** (ADD to existing file if exists, or new file)
```templ
package templates
templ SectionCarousel(section SectionData) {
{ section.Icon }
{ section.Title }
if section.Description != "" {
{ section.Description }
}
View All →
}
templ BookCard(item BookCardData) {
}
templ DashboardSettingsModal(sections []SectionData) {
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 []SectionData) {
for _, section := range sections {
@SectionCarousel(section)
}
}
```
---
### **Phase 10: TypeScript** (REVISED - 2-3 hours)
**COMPLIANCE** (Post-TypeScript Conversion):
- ✅ TypeScript files in `web/ts/features/dashboard/` (not `web/src/`)
- ✅ Uses shared infrastructure from TypeScript Conversion Plan
- ✅ Event delegation pattern (no inline onclick handlers)
- ✅ Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
- ✅ Type definitions matching Go handlers templates/types.go
- ✅ Uses `apiClient` from `web/ts/core/api.ts`
- ✅ Uses `showToast` from `web/ts/core/toast.ts`
- ✅ Uses `on` from `web/ts/shared/events.ts`
#### 7.1 Dashboard Carousel TypeScript
**File: `web/ts/features/dashboard/carousel.ts`** (new file, updated location)
```typescript
// Carousel scroll functionality
// Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
// Uses shared event delegation system
import { on } from '../../shared/events.js';
const SCROLL_AMOUNT = 300;
// Pure function for scrolling carousel
const scrollCarousel = (sectionId: string, direction: number): void => {
const track = document.getElementById(`carousel-track-${sectionId}`) as HTMLElement;
if (!track) return;
const scrollAmount = direction * SCROLL_AMOUNT;
track.scrollBy({ left: scrollAmount, behavior: 'smooth' });
};
// Initialize drag-to-scroll on all carousel tracks
const initializeCarousels = (): void => {
const tracks = document.querySelectorAll('.carousel-track') as NodeListOf;
tracks.forEach(track => {
let isDown = false;
let startX: number;
let scrollLeftPos: number;
track.addEventListener('mousedown', (e: MouseEvent) => {
isDown = true;
startX = e.pageX - track.offsetLeft;
scrollLeftPos = 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.offsetLeft;
const walk = (x - startX) * 2;
track.scrollLeft = scrollLeftPos - walk;
});
// Touch events for mobile
track.addEventListener('touchstart', (e: TouchEvent) => {
startX = e.touches[0].pageX - track.offsetLeft;
scrollLeftPos = track.scrollLeft;
});
track.addEventListener('touchmove', (e: TouchEvent) => {
const x = e.touches[0].pageX - track.offsetLeft;
const walk = (x - startX) * 2;
track.scrollLeft = scrollLeftPos - walk;
});
});
};
// Event delegation for carousel scroll buttons
on('click', '[data-action="scroll-carousel"]', (target: HTMLElement) => {
const sectionId = target.dataset.sectionId;
const direction = parseInt(target.dataset.direction || '0', 10);
if (sectionId && !isNaN(direction)) {
scrollCarousel(sectionId, direction);
}
});
// Auto-initialize when DOM is ready
if (typeof document !== 'undefined') {
if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initializeCarousels);
} else {
initializeCarousels();
}
}
```
#### 7.2 Dashboard Settings TypeScript
**File: `web/ts/features/dashboard/settings.ts`** (new file, updated location)
```typescript
// Dashboard settings modal functionality
// Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
// Uses shared infrastructure from TypeScript Conversion Plan
import { apiClient } from '../../core/api.js';
import { showToast } from '../../core/toast.js';
import { on } from '../../shared/events.js';
// Type definitions matching Go templates/types.go
interface SectionData {

// Open dashboard settings modal
const openDashboardSettings = (): void => {
const modal = document.getElementById('dashboard-settings-modal');
if (modal) {

initializeDragAndDrop();
}
};
// Close dashboard settings modal
const closeDashboardSettings = (): void => {
const modal = document.getElementById('dashboard-settings-modal');
if (modal) {
modal.classList.add('hidden');
}
};
// Initialize drag-and-drop for section reordering
const initializeDragAndDrop = (): void => {
const list = document.getElementById('section-list');
if (!list) return;
const items = list.querySelectorAll('.section-item') as NodeListOf;
items.forEach(item => {
item.addEventListener('dragstart', handleDragStart);
item.addEventListener('dragover', handleDragOver);
item.addEventListener('drop', handleDrop);
item.addEventListener('dragend', handleDragEnd);
});
};
// Drag event handlers
const handleDragStart = (e: DragEvent): void => {
const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
target.style.opacity = '0.5';
if (e.dataTransfer) {
e.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move';
}
};
const handleDragOver = (e: DragEvent): void => {
e.preventDefault();
if (e.dataTransfer) {
e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'move';
}
};
const handleDrop = (e: DragEvent): void => {
e.preventDefault();
// TODO: Implement reorder logic - swap with target element
};
const handleDragEnd = (e: DragEvent): void => {
const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
target.style.opacity = '1';
};
// Toggle section visibility (checkbox handler)
const toggleSectionVisibility = (sectionId: string): void => {
// Update local state, save on submit
// The checkbox state is managed by HTML
};
// Save dashboard settings to server
const saveDashboardSettings = async (): Promise => {
const sectionList = document.getElementById('section-list');
const items = sectionList?.querySelectorAll('.section-item') as NodeListOf;
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"]') as HTMLInputElement;
if (checkbox && !checkbox.checked) {
hiddenSections.push(id);
}
});
const data = {
library_id: getCurrentLibraryId(),
hidden_sections: hiddenSections,
section_order: sectionOrder,
items_per_section: parseInt(document.getElementById('items-count-display')?.textContent || '20')
};
try {
await apiClient.post('/settings', data);
showToast.success('Dashboard settings saved');
closeDashboardSettings();
location.reload();
} catch (error) {
showToast.error('Failed to save dashboard settings');
}
};
// Helper to get current library ID from selector
const getCurrentLibraryId = (): string => {
const select = document.getElementById('library-select') as HTMLSelectElement;
return select?.value || '';
};
// Event delegation for dashboard settings
on('click', '[data-action="open-dashboard-settings"]', () => {
openDashboardSettings();
});
on('click', '[data-action="close-dashboard-settings"]', () => {
closeDashboardSettings();
});
on('click', '[data-action="save-dashboard-settings"]', () => {
saveDashboardSettings();
});
on('input', '[data-action="update-items-display"]', (target: HTMLElement) => {
const displayElement = document.getElementById(target.dataset.target || 'items-display');
if (displayElement) {
displayElement.textContent = (target as HTMLInputElement).value;
}
});
```
#### 7.3 Settings Page TypeScript
**File: `web/ts/features/settings/settings.ts`** (new file)
```typescript
// Settings page form handling
// Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
// Uses shared infrastructure from TypeScript Conversion Plan
import { apiClient } from '../../core/api.js';
import { showToast } from '../../core/toast.js';
import { on } from '../../shared/events.js';
// Save user settings (email, username, theme, etc.)
const saveSettings = async (event: Event): Promise => {
event.preventDefault();
const form = event.target as HTMLFormElement;
const formData = new FormData(form);
const data = {
email: formData.get('email') as string,
username: formData.get('username') as string,
first_name: formData.get('first_name') as string,
last_name: formData.get('last_name') as string,
theme: formData.get('theme') as string,
// Dashboard preferences are saved separately via dashboard modal
library_id: getCurrentLibraryId(),
};
try {
const response = await apiClient.post('/settings', data);
// Response should contain updated user data including theme
showToast.success('Settings saved successfully');
// Update theme immediately
const theme = formData.get('theme') as string;
if (theme) {
document.body.className = `theme-${theme}`;
}
} catch (error) {
showToast.error('Failed to save settings');
}
};
// Helper to get current library ID
const getCurrentLibraryId = (): string => {
const select = document.getElementById('library-select') as HTMLSelectElement;
return select?.value || '';
};
// Event delegation for settings form
on('submit', '[data-action="save-settings"]', saveSettings);
on('click', '[data-action="cancel"]', () => {
history.back();
});
```
#### 7.4 Template Updates
**Update `templates/dashboard.templ` head section** (already shown above in Phase 6.1)
**Add `templates/settings.templ` head section**:
```templ
Settings - Bookhoard
```
**Key Points**:
- ✅ TypeScript files in `web/ts/features/dashboard/` structure (follows TypeScript Conversion Plan)
- ✅ Uses shared utilities (`apiClient`, `showToast`, `on` event delegation)
- ✅ Event delegation pattern (no onclick handlers, data-action attributes)
- ✅ Type-safe API calls and error handling
- ✅ Compiled via existing `npm run build:ts`
- ✅ Matches procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
---
### **Phase 11: Book Detail Page** (3-4 hours)
**File: `templates/book_detail.templ`** (new file)
**COMPLIANCE**: Use template types, TailwindCSS, SSR
```templ
package templates
import (
"bookhoard/internal/database"
"fmt"
)
templ BookDetail(user User, book database.MediaItems, progress database.ReadingProgress, rating float64, collections []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) }
}
{ book.Synopsis.Valid }
{ book.Synopsis.String }
{ end }
if len(collections) > 0 {
Collections
for _, collection := range collections {
{ collection.Icon } { collection.Name }
}
}
}
```
---
### **Phase 12: Documentation** (1-2 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**: Update API documentation for new endpoint
#### 12.1 API Documentation
**File: `docs/developer/api/dashboard.md`** (new file)
```markdown
# Dashboard API
## Get Dashboard Sections
Retrieve all dashboard sections for a specific library, including smart sections and user collections.
**Endpoint**: `GET /api/dashboard/sections`
**Authentication**: Required (Bearer token)
### Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|--------|----------|-----------------------------------------------|
| library_id| string | Yes | Library UUID to fetch sections for |
| limit | number | No | Items per section (default: 20, max: 100) |
### Response
Returns array of sections in user's customized order (respects `section_order` and `hidden_sections` preferences).
**Section Types**:
- `smart`: Auto-generated sections based on reading activity
- `collection`: User-created collections with `show_on_dashboard: true`
**Smart Sections**:
| ID | Title | Icon | Description |
|-----------------|------------------|------|--------------------------------------------------|
| continue-reading| Continue Reading | 📖 | Books with progress > 0% and < 100% |
| in-progress | In Progress | 📚 | Books with progress > 0% |
| recently-added | Recently Added | 🆕 | Newest items in library |
| recently-read | Recently Read | ✅ | Books with progress = 100% |
| unread | Not Started | 📕 | Books with no reading progress |
### Example Response
\`\`\`json
{
"sections": [
{
"id": "continue-reading",
"type": "smart",
"title": "Continue Reading",
"icon": "📖",
"items": [
{
"id": "uuid-here",
"title": "Book Title",
"author": "Author Name",
"cover_image_path": "/path/to/cover.jpg"
}
],
"view_all_url": "/section/continue-reading"
},
{
"id": "collection-uuid",
"type": "collection",
"title": "My Favorites",
"icon": "⭐",
"items": [...],
"view_all_url": null
}
]
}
\`\`\`
### User Preferences
The endpoint respects user's dashboard preferences:
- **`section_order`**: Sections returned in user's custom order
- **`hidden_sections`**: Hidden sections excluded from response
- **`items_per_section`**: Default limit from user preferences (overridden by `?limit=` query param)
### Error Responses
| Status | Description |
|--------|------------------------|
| 400 | Missing library_id |
| 400 | Invalid library_id |
| 401 | Unauthorized |
| 500 | Failed to load sections |
```
#### 12.2 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
Smart sections are automatically generated based on your reading activity:
- **Continue Reading**: Books you're currently reading (progress between 0-100%)
- **In Progress**: Books you've started (progress > 0%)
- **Recently Added**: Newest items added to this library
- **Recently Read**: Books you've completed (100% progress)
- **Not Started**: Books you haven't read yet
### User Collections
Any collection marked with "Show on Dashboard" will appear as a section on your dashboard.
To enable a collection:
1. Go to Collections
2. Edit a collection
3. Toggle "Show on Dashboard"
4. Save
### Customizing Your Dashboard
1. Click the ⚙️ (gear icon) in the top-right
2. **Drag sections** to reorder them
3. **Toggle visibility** with the switches
4. **Adjust items per section** (10-50 items)
5. Click "Save Changes"
Settings are saved per library.
### Library Switching
Use the dropdown in the sticky header to switch between libraries. Each library has its own dashboard settings.
### Keyboard Navigation
- **Tab**: Navigate between sections and books
- **Arrow Keys**: Scroll carousels horizontally
- **Enter**: Open selected book
### Touch Gestures (Mobile)
- **Swipe**: Drag carousel left/right to scroll
- **Tap**: Open book details
```
---
### **Phase 13: Bruno Tests** (Already Created ✅)
**COMPLIANCE**: Bruno tests already exist in `bruno/dashboard/`
**Existing Test Files**:
- ✅ `get-dashboard-sections.yml` - Test GET /api/dashboard/sections
- ✅ `get-sections-by-library.yml` - Test with library_id parameter
- ✅ `update-preferences.yml` - Test POST /settings (dashboard preferences)
- ✅ `create-collection-with-dashboard.yml` - Test collection creation with dashboard visibility
- ✅ `update-collection-visibility.yml` - Test toggling show_on_dashboard
**Coverage**:
- ✅ Three-context testing (no user, user, admin) - handled by Bruno auth inherit
- ✅ Section order customization
- ✅ Hidden sections filtering
- ✅ Collections with dashboard visibility
- ✅ Limit parameter validation
- ✅ Error cases (missing library_id, invalid UUID)
**To Run Tests**:
```bash
# Install Bruno CLI
npm install -g @usebruno/cli
# Run dashboard tests
bru run bruno/dashboard/ --env local
```
**No additional Bruno tests needed** - existing coverage is comprehensive.
---
### **Phase 14: Unit Tests** (2-3 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**: Unit tests alongside source files, following project patterns
#### 14.1 Service Layer Unit Tests
**File: `internal/services/dashboard_service_test.go`** (new file)
```go
package services
import (
"context"
"testing"
"bookhoard/internal/database"
"github.com/google/uuid"
"github.com/jackc/pgx/v5/pgtype"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)
func TestFilterHiddenSections(t *testing.T) {
service := &DashboardService{}
items := []SectionItems{
{SectionKey: "continue-reading", Items: nil},
{SectionKey: "in-progress", Items: nil},
{SectionKey: "recently-added", Items: nil},
}
t.Run("No hidden sections", func(t *testing.T) {
result := service.filterHiddenSections(items, []string{})
assert.Equal(t, 3, len(result))
})
t.Run("Hide one section", func(t *testing.T) {
result := service.filterHiddenSections(items, []string{"in-progress"})
assert.Equal(t, 2, len(result))
assert.Equal(t, "continue-reading", result[0].SectionKey)
assert.Equal(t, "recently-added", result[1].SectionKey)
})
t.Run("Hide multiple sections", func(t *testing.T) {
result := service.filterHiddenSections(items, []string{"continue-reading", "recently-added"})
assert.Equal(t, 1, len(result))
assert.Equal(t, "in-progress", result[0].SectionKey)
})
}
func TestReorderSections(t *testing.T) {
service := &DashboardService{}
items := []SectionItems{
{SectionKey: "continue-reading", Items: nil},
{SectionKey: "in-progress", Items: nil},
{SectionKey: "recently-added", Items: nil},
}
t.Run("No custom order", func(t *testing.T) {
result := service.reorderSections(items, []string{})
assert.Equal(t, 3, len(result))
assert.Equal(t, "continue-reading", result[0].SectionKey)
})
t.Run("Custom order - all sections", func(t *testing.T) {
customOrder := []string{"recently-added", "continue-reading", "in-progress"}
result := service.reorderSections(items, customOrder)
assert.Equal(t, 3, len(result))
assert.Equal(t, "recently-added", result[0].SectionKey)
assert.Equal(t, "continue-reading", result[1].SectionKey)
assert.Equal(t, "in-progress", result[2].SectionKey)
})
t.Run("Custom order - partial (new sections appended)", func(t *testing.T) {
customOrder := []string{"in-progress", "continue-reading"}
result := service.reorderSections(items, customOrder)
assert.Equal(t, 3, len(result))
assert.Equal(t, "in-progress", result[0].SectionKey)
assert.Equal(t, "continue-reading", result[1].SectionKey)
assert.Equal(t, "recently-added", result[2].SectionKey) // Appended at end
})
t.Run("Custom order - unknown section ignored", func(t *testing.T) {
customOrder := []string{"unknown-section", "continue-reading"}
result := service.reorderSections(items, customOrder)
assert.Equal(t, 3, len(result))
assert.Equal(t, "continue-reading", result[0].SectionKey)
})
}
func TestGetDashboardPreferences(t *testing.T) {
// This would require a test database setup
// For now, test with mock or skip
t.Skip("Requires database integration - use integration tests")
}
```
**Key Points**:
- ✅ Unit tests alongside source file (`dashboard_service_test.go`)
- ✅ Test pure functions (filterHiddenSections, reorderSections)
- ✅ Table-driven tests for multiple scenarios
- ✅ Use testify/assert for assertions
- ✅ Skip database-dependent tests (use integration tests)
#### 14.2 Handler Unit Tests
**File: `internal/handlers/dashboard_test.go`** (new file)
```go
package handlers
import (
"testing"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
)
func TestGetSectionType(t *testing.T) {
t.Run("Smart sections", func(t *testing.T) {
smartSections := []string{
"continue-reading", "in-progress", "recently-added",
"recently-read", "unread",
}
for _, key := range smartSections {
result := getSectionType(key)
assert.Equal(t, "smart", result, "Section %s should be smart", key)
}
})
t.Run("Collection sections", func(t *testing.T) {
result := getSectionType("collection-uuid-123")
assert.Equal(t, "collection", result)
})
}
func TestGetSectionTitle(t *testing.T) {
tests := []struct {
key string
expected string
}{
{"continue-reading", "Continue Reading"},
{"in-progress", "In Progress"},
{"recently-added", "Recently Added"},
{"recently-read", "Recently Read"},
{"unread", "Not Started"},
{"my-custom-collection", "my-custom-collection"},
}
for _, tt := range tests {
t.Run(tt.key, func(t *testing.T) {
result := getSectionTitle(tt.key)
assert.Equal(t, tt.expected, result)
})
}
}
func TestGetSectionIcon(t *testing.T) {
tests := []struct {
key string
expected string
}{
{"continue-reading", "📖"},
{"in-progress", "📚"},
{"recently-added", "🆕"},
{"recently-read", "✅"},
{"unread", "📕"},
{"unknown", "📚"}, // Default
}
for _, tt := range tests {
t.Run(tt.key, func(t *testing.T) {
result := getSectionIcon(tt.key)
assert.Equal(t, tt.expected, result)
})
}
}
func TestGetSectionViewAllURL(t *testing.T) {
tests := []struct {
key string
expected string
}{
{"continue-reading", "/section/continue-reading"},
{"in-progress", "/section/in-progress"},
{"recently-added", "/section/recently-added"},
{"recently-read", "/history"},
{"unread", "/section/unread"},
{"my-collection", ""}, // Collections don't have view-all
}
for _, tt := range tests {
t.Run(tt.key, func(t *testing.T) {
result := getSectionViewAllURL(tt.key)
assert.Equal(t, tt.expected, result)
})
}
}
```
**Key Points**:
- ✅ Unit tests alongside handler file (`dashboard_test.go`)
- ✅ Test pure helper functions (getSectionType, getSectionTitle, etc.)
- ✅ Table-driven tests for multiple scenarios
- ✅ No HTTP requests (use integration tests)
---
### **Phase 15: Integration Tests** (2-3 hours)
**COMPLIANCE**: Integration tests in `cmd/server/tests/`, using `setupTestServer` helper
**Available Test Helpers (from `test_helpers.go`):**
| Helper | Purpose | Returns |
|--------|---------|---------|
| `setupTestServer(t)` | Creates test server with auto cleanup | `*TestServerSetup` |
| `loginTestUser(t, ts, db)` | Logs in admin user (role: admin) | JWT token string |
| `loginRegularUser(t, ts, db)` | Logs in regular user (role: user) | JWT token string |
| `setupDeviceTest(t)` | Creates server + user + device + library | `*TestDeviceSetup` |
| `getTestUserID(t, db)` | Gets/creates admin test user | `uuid.UUID` |
| `getRegularUserID(t, db)` | Gets/creates regular test user | `uuid.UUID` |
**Cleanup Pattern:**
- `setupTestServer()` automatically registers `t.Cleanup()`
- Cleanup runs even if test fails or panics
- No manual `defer setup.Close()` needed
**TestServerSetup Contains:**
```go
type TestServerSetup struct {
Server *httptest.Server // Test HTTP server
DB *database.Queries // Database queries
DBPool *pgxpool.Pool // Database pool
Config *config.Config // Test configuration
ConnManager *wsync.ConnectionManager
QueueProcessor *wsync.SyncQueueProcessor
// ... auto cleanup via t.Cleanup()
}

**Key Helper Functions Available (from test_helpers.go):**
```go
// setupTestServer creates complete test environment with auto cleanup
setup := setupTestServer(t)
// No manual cleanup needed - t.Cleanup() registered automatically
// loginTestUser - logs in admin user (testuser@example.com)
adminToken := loginTestUser(t, setup.Server, setup.DB)
// loginRegularUser - logs in regular user (testregularuser@example.com)
userToken := loginRegularUser(t, setup.Server, setup.DB)
// setupDeviceTest - creates server + user + device + library
deviceSetup := setupDeviceTest(t)
deviceSetup.CreateLibrary(t, "My Library", "ebooks")
deviceSetup.CreateDevice(t, "Kindle", "kindle", "kindle-123")
// getTestUserID - gets/creates admin test user UUID
adminUUID := getTestUserID(t, setup.DB)
// getRegularUserID - gets/creates regular test user UUID
userUUID := getRegularUserID(t, setup.DB)
// uuid.MustParse - parse UUID string (from uuid package)
libUUID := uuid.MustParse(libraryID)
```
**Dashboard-Specific Helper (created for these tests):**
```go
// updateDashboardPreferences - saves dashboard preferences for testing
// NOTE: Only needed for dashboard testing, not a general helper
updateDashboardPreferences(t, setup.DB, userUUID, libUUID, map[string]interface{}{
"hidden_sections": []string{"recently-added"},
"section_order": []string{"recently-read", "continue-reading"},
})
```
**Cleanup Pattern:**
- ✅ Automatic via `t.Cleanup()` in `setupTestServer()`
- ✅ Runs even if test fails or panics
- ✅ No manual `defer setup.Close()` needed
- ✅ Cleans up: queue processor → connection manager → HTTP server → database pool
**Key Points**:
- ✅ Integration tests in `cmd/server/tests/`
- ✅ Uses `setupTestServer(t)` helper (from `test_helpers.go`)
- ✅ Three-context testing (no auth, user, admin)
- ✅ Tests both JSON API (`/api/dashboard/sections`) and SSR (`/dashboard`)
- ✅ Tests user preferences (hidden sections, custom order)
- ✅ Follows existing test patterns (see `auth_test.go`, `collections_bulk_test.go`)
- ✅ Uses `require.NoError` for setup, `assert.Equal` for verification
