🎬 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 tests already created in bruno/dashboard/

✅ Frontend Standards:

• TailwindCSS classes ONLY - no custom CSS
• Inline JavaScript - matches existing dashboard.templ pattern
• 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:

• Template types in templates/types.go - SectionData, BookCardData
• 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 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:

podman compose down -v  # Delete volumes (loses all data)
podman compose up -d    # Start fresh with new schema

Add to schema.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

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)

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
// Handler will format these into template.SectionData
func (s *DashboardService) GetSectionItems(ctx context.Context, userID, libraryID uuid.UUID, limit int) ([]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...)
    
    return results, nil
}

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)

-- 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: Routes (1-2 hours)

File: internal/router/frontend.go (MODIFY existing file)

COMPLIANCE: Add inline routes following existing pattern

Modify existing /dashboard route (around line 105):

// 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()
        }
    }

    // Get sections from service
    libUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(libraryID)
    userUUID, _ := uuid.Parse(user.ID)
    sectionItems, err := cfg.DashboardService.GetSectionItems(c.Request().Context(), userUUID, libUUID, 20)
    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
    sections := buildSections(sectionItems, database.UserDashboardPreferences{})

    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):

// 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):

type Config struct {
    // ... existing fields ...
    DashboardService *services.DashboardService
}

Note: No separate handler file needed. Following existing pattern, routes are inline in frontend.go and call service methods directly.

Add helper function to internal/router/frontend.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 5: Template Types (30 min)

File: templates/types.go (ADD to existing file)

Add new types to support dashboard:

// 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 5: Settings Template (2 hours)

COMPLIANCE: Use template types, TailwindCSS, SSR

File: templates/settings.templ (new file)

package templates

import (
    "bookhoard/internal/database"
)

templ Settings(user User, userDB database.Users, dashPrefs database.UserDashboardPreferences) {
    <!DOCTYPE html>

Phase 6: 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

Phase 7: TypeScript (2-3 hours)

COMPLIANCE:

• ✅ TypeScript files in web/src/ (no JavaScript)
• ✅ Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
• ✅ Progressive enhancement (works without JS)
• ✅ Matches existing pattern (toast.ts, theme.ts)
• ✅ Compiled via existing tsc setup (tsconfig.json)

7.1 Carousel TypeScript

File: web/src/carousel.ts (new file)

// Carousel scroll functionality
// Matches pattern from toast.ts - IIFE with window export

const SCROLL_AMOUNT = 300;

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' });
};

const initializeCarousels = (): void => {
    const tracks = document.querySelectorAll('.carousel-track') as NodeListOf<HTMLElement>;

    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', () => {

        });

        track.addEventListener('mouseup', () => {

        });

        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;

};

// Auto-initialize when DOM is ready
if (typeof document !== 'undefined') {
    if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initializeCarousels);
    } else {
        initializeCarousels();
    }
}

// Export to window for onclick handlers
(window as any).scrollCarousel = scrollCarousel;

7.2 Dashboard Settings TypeScript

File: web/src/dashboard-settings.ts (new file)

// Dashboard settings modal functionality
// Matches pattern from toast.ts - IIFE with window export

const openDashboardSettings = (): void => {
    const modal = document.getElementById('dashboard-settings-modal');
    if (modal) {
        modal.classList.remove('hidden');
        initializeDragAndDrop();

};

const initializeDragAndDrop = (): void => {
    const list = document.getElementById('section-list');
    if (!list) return;

    const items = list.querySelectorAll('.section-item') as NodeListOf<HTMLElement>;

    items.forEach(item => {
        item.addEventListener('dragstart', handleDragStart);
        item.addEventListener('dragover', handleDragOver);
        item.addEventListener('drop', handleDrop);
        item.addEventListener('dragend', handleDragEnd);
    });
};

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();
    // Reorder logic - swap with target element
};

const handleDragEnd = (e: DragEvent): void => {
    const target = e.target as HTMLElement;
    target.style.opacity = '1';
};

const toggleSectionVisibility = (sectionId: string): void => {
    // Update local state, save on submit
};

const saveDashboardSettings = (): void => {
    const sectionList = document.getElementById('section-list');
    const items = sectionList?.querySelectorAll('.section-item') as NodeListOf<HTMLElement>;

    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')
    };

    fetch('/settings', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(data)
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(() => {
        closeDashboardSettings();
        location.reload();
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error('Failed to save settings:', error);
        if (typeof showToast === 'function') {
            showToast('Failed to save settings', 'error');
        }
    });
};

const getCurrentLibraryId = (): string => {
    const select = document.getElementById('library-select') as HTMLSelectElement;
    return select?.value || '';
};

// Export to window for onclick handlers
(window as any).openDashboardSettings = openDashboardSettings;
(window as any).closeDashboardSettings = closeDashboardSettings;
(window as any).toggleSectionVisibility = toggleSectionVisibility;
(window as any).saveDashboardSettings = saveDashboardSettings;

7.3 Template Updates

Update templates/dashboard.templ head section to load compiled JS:

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Dashboard - Bookhoard</title>
    <script src="/static/htmx.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/toast.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/theme.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/carousel.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/dashboard-settings.js"></script>
    <link href="/static/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

Key Points:

• ✅ TypeScript files compiled via existing npm run build:ts
• ✅ No separate build step needed
• ✅ Matches existing pattern (toast.ts, theme.ts)
• ✅ Functions exported to window for onclick handlers

**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.

10.2 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:

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:

// ❌ WRONG - creates multiple DB pools
for _, tc := range cases {
    setup := setupTestServer(t)  // DON'T DO THIS
}

✅ DO:

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:

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:

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
})

10.2 Verification Checklist

Before committing:

# 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"
