tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 cc1dafa9f7 Cars: drag the tabs into order, and a lock for every arrangement
Two things, both about layouts you arrange by dragging.

A car's tab bar now takes a drag: the tabs reorder as the pointer crosses
them and the arrangement saves on drop — or on dragend, since a tab
released in the gap beside the bar never produces a drop and would
otherwise revert on the next load. Same native drag events as the garage
and the Information rows, so also pointer-only, and it needs write access.

The order belongs to the car, like the choice of which tabs show at all,
so everyone it is shared with sees the same bar. It is stored as the full
list of keys, hidden tabs included, so a tab switched off and back on
returns to where it was rather than to the end; a key the stored
arrangement doesn't mention — a tab added in a later release — follows
the arranged ones. Information is arrangeable although it cannot be
switched off, which is why the validation needs arrangeableCarTabs rather
than reusing hideableCarTabs; it is derived from that set so the two
cannot drift as tabs are added. tabOrder rides on the existing PUT
/api/cars/{id}/view, so a tab drag never has to resend what is hidden.
Where the page opens is unchanged: Information, wherever it now sits.

And a padlock in the sidebar, above the theme toggle, holds every
arrangement in the app still at once — the garage, a car's tabs, its
Information rows, the provider's readings. It is a guard against nudging
a layout while reading it, not a permission: it is the user's own setting
and says nothing about what anybody may edit, so locking hides your own
drag handles rather than stopping a co-owner rearranging a shared car.
Stored as dragLocked on the profile, like the theme it sits above, so a
locked account is still locked on the next device — where a folded
provider card stays one browser's reading habit. Unlocked by default, so
nothing changes until it is clicked, and while locked the grab cursor and
the drag hints go with the drag.

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 20.19+ or 22.12+ (Vite 8's floor — Node 18 is end-of-life and will not build) and Go 1.26+ (the go.mod directive). The Docker image builds on node:22-alpine.
  • A running API Server (see ../API Server)

Develop

Two terminals:

# terminal 1 — API Server (see ../API Server/README.md)
cd "../API Server"; .\bin\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 by hand, or import from service — pick a vehicle off a connected manufacturer account and have its details filled in (the button appears only once an account is connected). Shared cars are labelled and gated by your access level. Drag a card to rearrange the garage: the order is saved per user (so it covers shared cars and never reorders anybody else's garage) and applied by the API on every list. Pointer-only — the native drag events it uses don't fire on touch.

  • What a car shows — the gear button in a car's header picks both the sections that car's page shows (connected service, service history, technical checks, maintenance, fuel cost, charging cost, documents, parts, reminders — Fuel cost off on an EV and Charging cost off on a petrol car) and which of the 14 Information rows it lists (no Differential oil on a car without one). It belongs to the car, so everyone it is shared with sees the same page; setting it needs write access. Stored as the hidden sets, so anything added in a later release is on by default, and the Information tab itself can't be switched off.

  • Locking the layout — the padlock in the sidebar, above the theme toggle, holds every arrangement still at once: the garage, a car's tabs, its Information rows, the provider's readings. It is a guard against nudging a layout while reading it, not a permission — it is the user's own setting (dragLocked on the profile, so it follows them to the next device) and says nothing about what they may edit. Unlocked by default; while locked the drag cursor and the hints go too.

  • Arranging the tabs — the tabs themselves drag into any order, saved on drop. A property of the car like the choice of which tabs show, so everyone it is shared with sees the same bar, and it needs write access. It covers the hidden tabs too, so switching one back on returns it to where it was, and Information is arrangeable even though it can't be switched off. Where the page opens is unchanged: Information, wherever it now sits in the bar.

  • Arranging the Information rows — the rows on a car's Information tab drag into any order, saved on drop. Also a property of the car, and it covers the hidden rows too, so switching one back on returns it to where it was. Same native drag events as the garage, so also pointer-only.

  • Arranging the connected service's readings — the headline readings on that tab drag the same way. Only what the provider reported can be arranged, so a reading that turns up later (an EV range on a car that was parked unplugged) joins the end rather than displacing the arrangement.

  • Car detail — all car spec fields (engine / transmission / differential oil, brake fluid, coolant, VIN, fuel type, …) plus tabbed histories, each with an optional file attachment and add/edit/delete gated by your access level:

    • The connected service (e.g. MyToyota) — the first tab, present for a car linked to a manufacturer account: live readings (odometer, fuel, battery, range, position), the vehicle record, and every section the plugin can fetch with its raw response. Offers the provider's odometer when it is ahead of the stored one. Every card below the live readings — the vehicle record and each provider section — folds away, and which ones you folded is remembered per device in localStorage. On an unlinked car the tab instead offers to connect it to a vehicle on your account. Read under your account, so a car shared from someone else shows data only if that vehicle is on your account too.
    • Service history — date, km, computed next date/km, and changed-parts flags.
    • Technical checks — roadworthiness inspections; result, cost, station and the certificate's valid-until, which drives the next-due date.
    • Maintenance — workshop visits and repairs (type/status, workshop, parts, labour + parts cost, invoice, warranty-until).
    • Fuel cost — refills with a summary panel (average / best / worst consumption, cost per km, price per litre), measured between full tanks.
    • Charging cost — the same log for an electric car: charges in kWh with consumption in kWh/100km, km per kWh, cost per km and price per kWh, measured between charges to the car's usual full point. Partial charges still count towards the cost and roll into the next full one, and a charge taken without logging it (flagged on the next session) leaves that window uncomputed rather than reporting an implausible figure.
    • Documents — insurance, registration, road tax, … with a renewal badge.
    • Parts — the per-car parts catalog.
    • Reminders — date/odometer, one-off or recurring; server-derived ones are read-only.

    Also share the car with other users (read/write, owner only); edit/delete controls are hidden for read-only shares.

  • Charging — the EV charging screen for connected Anker Solix chargers: live status and, in own/proxy control mode, start/stop and charge-limit controls driven by the API Server's OCPP Central System.

  • Settings — split into tabs: Personal settings — account (name / email verification / password), appearance (theme light/dark/system, locale, date format, currency, font size), profile (avatar, bio), data export/import, and the account-deletion state machine; Integrations (Toyota, Anker Solix); Users for admins; and Organization (create your own — which makes you its admin — or rename/delete the one you administer).

  • Users — user management (list / create / role / reset password / delete) as the admin-only Settings tab; /admin redirects there for old links.

  • Theming — light/dark/system app-wide (Tailwind v4 class strategy); prefs.js toggles .dark on <html> and applies the saved theme/locale/date/font.

Auth & access

Login proxies to the API Server, which relays PocketBase's own token — there is no JWT the server mints and no server-side session list. The token is stored client-side and sent as Authorization on every call. 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.
