Documents already carried a single optional file: upload, download, detach,
access-checked on every request and proxied through this server, so PocketBase's
files are never public URLs. Service records, workshop visits, refills and
catalog parts all want the same thing — a receipt, an invoice, a photo of the
box — so extend it to them.
Rather than copy the document handlers four more times, lift them into one
shared layer. Every attachable collection has a car relation and a file field,
which is what lets a single set of handlers authorize and serve all of them. An
upload finishes by delegating to the collection's own GET handler, so the
response carries the full record — derived fields and all — exactly as a re-read
would. The web side gets the same treatment: one picker component and one
upload-after-save helper behind all five forms. Net effect is five features for
about the cost of the one that was already there.
Alongside:
- parts gain a notes field
- Reminders moves behind Parts catalog in the car detail tabs
- the changed-part labels spell out in full ("Oil & Oil filter" rather than
"Oil & filter"), and the form and table now agree
The PocketBase schema must be migrated before the new attachments work:
scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs adds the file fields and parts.notes. It is
additive and safe to re-run.
