Four features layered onto cars, each following the existing parts/services pattern: a Go handler gated on requireCarAccess, snake_case PocketBase mappers, a Vue form modal, and a tab on CarDetail (now driven by an array rather than repeated markup). Fuel: refills logged with odometer, litres and cost. Consumption is derived on read from the whole history rather than stored, so correcting an old fill re-derives every window it touches with no rows to migrate. Efficiency uses the full-tank method — two consecutive full tanks are the same known level, so the fuel burned between them is exactly what was poured in. Partial fills roll into the window that closes them; a missed-fill flag leaves that window uncomputed rather than reporting an implausibly good figure. Averages in the stats rollup are distance-weighted, so a long motorway run counts for more than a trip across town — which is what actually happened to the fuel. Maintenance: workshop visits and repairs, deliberately separate from service_records. That collection is the routine interval schedule and drives next-service-due; this one is unplanned garage work with a workshop, an invoice and a labour bill, and no bearing on the interval. Documents: insurance, pollution certificates and registration papers. The renewal date is the point of the record, so expiry is assessed live on every read instead of stored and left to go stale. Scans are proxied through the API — PocketBase's collections have no public read rule, so an attachment is never a public URL and car access is re-checked per fetch. Reminders: fire on a date, an odometer reading, or both (whichever comes first). Stored reminders sit alongside read-only ones derived from document expiry and next-service-due, so a renewal date is never typed twice and can never drift from the document it came from. Derived ids are namespaced "auto:" and every write endpoint rejects them. A refill or a completed visit also writes the car's odometer forward, since it is the freshest reading there is — never backwards, so backfilling old history can't rewind the car. Adds fuel_entries, maintenance_entries, car_documents and reminders to the idempotent schema script, plus a file-field builder for attachments. Verified end-to-end against a live PocketBase with a throwaway account: 39 checks covering the efficiency maths, expiry states, the derived reminders, the upload/download round-trip, and that a stranger can reach none of it.

DriverVault — Web App
Maintenance tracker for your cars: a Vue 3 + Vite + Tailwind CSS v4 SPA served
by a small Go backend-for-frontend (BFF). The BFF serves the built SPA and
reverse-proxies /api/* to the API Server, so the browser is always same-origin
and all data access still flows through the API Server (never PocketBase directly).

Requirements
- Node 18+ and Go 1.26+
- A running API Server (see
../API Server)
Develop
Two terminals:
# terminal 1 — API Server (see ../API Server/README.md)
cd "../API Server"; ./api-server.exe
# terminal 2 — Vite dev server with hot reload (proxies /api -> :8080)
cd web; npm install; npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
The dev server proxies /api/* to the API Server (default http://localhost:8080,
override with VITE_API_TARGET), so the client uses same-origin relative URLs and
avoids CORS. It also listens on all interfaces (host: true) so it's reachable on
the LAN (e.g. http://10.2.1.101:5173).
At runtime, users can override the API base URL from the login screen's Server
settings (persisted in localStorage as cc_server_url); resolution order is
that override → VITE_API_BASE → /api.
Build & run (production-style)
./server/Run-WebApp.ps1 # builds frontend, then serves on :8090
# or manually:
cd web; npm run build # outputs to ../server/dist
cd ../server; go run . # http://localhost:8090
Config (server/.env, copy from .env.example):
| Variable | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
WEB_ADDR |
Listen address | :8090 |
API_BASE |
API Server base URL | http://localhost:8080 |
Features
- Dashboard — one card per car: last service, odometer, next-due date/km, and a status badge (OK / due soon ≤30d / overdue) from the Excel formulas. Add a car; shared cars are labelled and gated by your access level.
- Car detail — full service history (date, km, computed next date/km, and the changed-parts flags) plus the per-car parts catalog and all car spec fields (engine / transmission / differential oil, brake fluid, coolant, VIN, …). Add/edit/delete service records, parts, and the car; share the car with other users (read/write, owner only). Edit/delete controls are hidden for read-only shares.
- Settings — account (name / email verification / password), appearance (theme light/dark/system, locale, date format, font size), profile (avatar, bio), data export/import, active sessions with remote logout, and the account-deletion state machine.
- Admin —
/adminuser management (list / create / role / reset password / delete), gated by the admin role via a router guard + nav link. - Theming — light/dark/system app-wide (Tailwind v4 class strategy);
prefs.jstoggles.darkon<html>and applies the saved theme/locale/date/font.
Auth & access
Login gets a JWT from the API Server (stored client-side) and creates a server
session. auth.js exposes isAdmin and the current profile; the router guards
public / admin routes. Cars are per-user (owned + shared), and the UI mirrors
the server's read / write / owner access levels.
