🎬 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:

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
// 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)

-- 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

package handlers

import (
    "net/http"
    "strconv"
    "bookhoard/internal/database"
    "bookhoard/internal/services"
    "bookhoard/templates"

    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 user's dashboard preferences (customization)
    prefs, _ := h.dashboardService.GetDashboardPreferences(c.Request().Context(), userUUID, libUUID)

    }

    // 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{}{

            "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",

    }
    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)

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):

type Config struct {
    // ... existing fields ...
    DashboardHandler *handlers.DashboardHandler
}

Add to internal/router/router.go setup function (where routes are registered):

// Register dashboard routes
registerDashboardRoutes(cfg)

Initialize handler in cmd/server/main.go (where other handlers are created):

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):

// 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):

// 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"`

})

Add to internal/router/router.go Config struct (around line 34):

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:

// Smart section definitions (static metadata)
var smartSectionDefs = map[string]struct {
    Title       string
    Description string
    Icon        string
    ViewAllURL  string
    Priority    int

    "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,

            Priority:    priority,
        })
    }
    
    return sections
}

Phase 7: 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 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

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

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Settings - Bookhoard</title>
    <script src="/static/htmx.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/core/toast.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/core/api.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/shared/events.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/features/settings/settings.js"></script>
    <link href="/static/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

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 12: Documentation (1-2 hours)

COMPLIANCE: Update API documentation for new endpoint

12.1 API Documentation

File: docs/developer/api/dashboard.md (new file)

# 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)

# 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:

# 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)

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)

package handlers

import (
    "testing"

    "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
)

func TestGetSectionType(t *testing.T) {
    t.Run("Smart sections", func(t *testing.T) {

            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"},

        {"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)

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

Summary: Key Changes from Original Carousel Dashboard Plan

✅ What's Unchanged (Phases 1-3, 7-11):

• ✅ Database schema changes
• ✅ Service layer implementation (with user preferences support)
• ✅ Database queries
• ✅ Template types (templates/types.go)
• ✅ Settings template structure
• ✅ SSR approach (frontend.go)
• ✅ HTMX for library switching
• ✅ TypeScript implementation

🔧 What's Changed (Phases 4-6):

1. Template HTML:

• Before: <button onclick="scrollCarousel('{ section.ID }', -1)">
• After: <button data-action="scroll-carousel" data-section-id="{ section.ID }" data-direction="-1">

4. TypeScript Implementation:

1. Architecture - API Handler Separation:

• Before: No JSON API endpoint, SSR only
• After: Generic /api/dashboard/sections endpoint (JSON) for reuse
• Files: internal/handlers/dashboard.go, internal/router/dashboard.go
• Benefit: Single source of truth for web UI, mobile apps, plugins

2. Service Layer - User Preferences:

• Before: Service ignored user's section order and hidden sections
• After: Service accepts sectionOrder and hiddenSections parameters
• Benefit: Customized dashboards for all clients (web, mobile, plugins)

3. Template HTML:**

// ❌ Old pattern
(window as any).scrollCarousel = scrollCarousel;
(window as any).openDashboardSettings = openDashboardSettings;

After (event delegation):

// ✅ New pattern (uses shared on() utility)
on('click', '[data-action="scroll-carousel"]', (target) => {
    scrollCarousel(target.dataset.sectionId, parseInt(target.dataset.direction));
});

on('click', '[data-action="open-dashboard-settings"]', () => {
    openDashboardSettings();
});

5. API Calls:**

• Before: Raw fetch('/settings', { method: 'POST', ... })
• After: await apiClient.post('/settings', data)

6. Type Definitions:**

• Before: Inline types defined in each file
• After: Import shared types or define in web/ts/features/dashboard/types.ts matching Go handlers

7. Error Handling:**

• Before: if (typeof showToast === 'function') { showToast(...) }
• After: import { showToast } from '../../core/toast.js' and use showToast.success(), showToast.error()

Execution Timeline

Recommended Order: TypeScript First

Phase	Duration	Dependencies	Deliverables
TypeScript Conversion	16-21 days	None	All inline JS → TypeScript modules
Dashboard Phase 1-3	6-9 hours	None	Backend (DB, service, queries)
Dashboard Phase 4-6	2-3 hours	Dashboard 1-3	Handler, router, frontend routes
Dashboard Phase 7-9	6-7 hours	TypeScript Conversion	Templates + Settings
Dashboard Phase 10-11	2-3 hours	TypeScript Conversion + Dashboard 1-9	TypeScript modules
Dashboard Phase 12-13	1-2 hours	Dashboard 1-11	Documentation + Bruno tests
Dashboard Phase 14-15	4-6 hours	Dashboard 1-13	Unit tests + Integration tests
Total	23-31 days		Complete TypeScript + Carousel Dashboard + Tests
