tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 f3235c403c A page opens where you put its tabs

Every tab bar in the app drags into the order you want, and then all three of
them opened on a tab picked in the source anyway: "public" on Charging, "info"
on a car, "personal" in Settings. Dragging Home chargers to the front of the
charging bar rearranged the bar and changed nothing about where the page landed,
which is the opposite of what dragging it there says.

So the front of the bar is now the landing tab, everywhere. An arrangement is
already the statement of what you want to see first; it just wasn't being read
as one. Settings > Appearance overrides it per page for the case where reading
order and landing tab are two different wishes, with "First in the bar" as the
default and the meaning of no override at all.

The rule lives in one place, lib/tabs.js, because it is one rule and three
pages: the saved choice if that tab is actually on the bar, otherwise whatever
leads it. The bar it is given is the one that will really render, hidden tabs
and inapplicable ones already dropped, so a default that no longer has a button
- a tab switched off for that car, Users on a non-admin - falls back to the
front instead of opening nothing. The tab key lists moved there too, since the
picker needs all three and would otherwise have copied them.

Each page starts on no tab and keeps following the profile until the user says
otherwise, rather than guessing and then correcting itself: the arrangement and
the default both arrive with /api/me, which on a hard refresh lands after the
view has mounted. A click ends the following, and so does the start of a drag -
rearranging a bar must not pull the content out from under the pointer. In
Settings ?tab= still wins over both, since that is what /admin redirects to.

Stored as defaultTabs on the profile, one page->tab map validated per page: a
tab that exists but on another page is an error, and an empty value is stored
as an absent key so "no default" has a single representation.

Also adds charger_tab_order and charger_card_order to the PocketBase setup
script. They were never there - the arrangements of the last two commits had no
column to persist into on a freshly set-up server - and default_tabs would have
gone the same way beside them.

Raw Blame History

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).

Browser ─► Web App BFF (:8090) ──/api/*──► API Server (:8080) ─► PocketBase
   │              └── serves embedded Vue SPA
   └──────────────────────────────────────► API Server at another site ─► its PocketBase
                              (added in the app, called straight from the browser)

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).

The base URL each call goes to comes from the active server (see More than one server below); with only the built-in one, that resolves to 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) and which columns the Service history table shows (no File column for somebody who keeps no receipts). 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. Two things can't be switched off: the Information tab, and the service Date — a history with the day taken out stops being one.
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. The page then opens on whichever tab now leads the bar — see below.
Which tab a page opens on — a bar the user dragged says what they want to see first, so every tabbed page (Charging, a car, Settings) opens on the tab that now leads it rather than on a fixed one. Settings › Appearance overrides that per page for the case where the reading order and the landing tab are two different wishes; "First in the bar" is the default and means no override. Stored as defaultTabs on the profile ({"charging": "home", …}), so it follows the user to the next device, and a saved tab that no longer has a button — one switched off for that car, a Users tab on a non-admin — falls back to the front of the bar. /settings?tab= still wins over both.
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.
A build date nobody fully knows — the Build date field picks its own precision: a full date, a month and year, or a year on its own. A car's build date is often only half known — the VIN plate carries a month, the papers a day, a grey import neither — and it is stored as the ISO prefix ("2015", "2015-03") and printed back at exactly that precision rather than padded out to a day nobody supplied. Narrowing the precision keeps what is still true; widening clears the field, since there is nothing to widen it with. First registration still asks for a full date.
Changed parts — every part a service can record sits in one column, not one column each: they are a growing list and a column apiece would widen the table without end. The cell names what was changed (past two, the first and a tally) and opens a panel listing every part with a yes or a no — a dropdown rather than a dialog, so the rows you are comparing it against stay on screen. Both the column and the form's Changed parts section are driven by one list in lib/serviceParts.js, so adding a part is one entry there plus its boolean on the API's service_records collection.

Which parts a car records is the car's too, under the same picker. An EV changes no oil, and a checkbox nobody will ever tick is one more thing to read past on every service. A part switched off leaves the form, the column's summary and the panel together — "I don't record this" means it stops taking up room, not that it takes up room saying nothing. Nothing is written to the records: an edit sends a hidden part's stored boolean straight back, because the API rewrites all of them from the body, so switching the part on again brings the old services' chips back with it.
Arranging the Service history columns — the column headings on that tab drag into any order, saved on drop, and it covers the hidden columns too. Date is arrangeable although it can't be switched off, the same rule Information follows in the tab bar.
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.

More than one server

Two sites, two full DriverVault stacks — and one browser tab. The server picker sits at the bottom of the app rail (after signing in, not on the login screen): it names the server you are reading right now, and switches between them in a click.

The home server is the one that served the app, reached same-origin through the BFF's /api proxy. It is always in the list and can't be removed.
Any other server is added by address — https://garage.example.com; the /api is appended for you if you leave the path off — and is called straight from the browser, not relayed through the BFF. That server therefore has to be reachable from wherever the browser is, which it already is if the phone app talks to it.
A session per server. Each server is its own PocketBase with its own users, so a token can't be carried across: you sign into each one once, and after that switching needs no password. Sessions live in localStorage under cc_session_<id>, the list under cc_servers, the active one under cc_active_server.
Switching goes back to the garage, because record ids belong to the server that issued them — a car page can't survive the change.
An expiring remote session doesn't sign you out of the app: that server's token is dropped, the app falls back to the home server, and the entry stays in the list to sign into again. Only Log out clears every server at once.

The remote server must allow the Web App's origin in CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS (API Server setting, * by default — so this works out of the box, and only needs attention on a server whose list has been narrowed). Nothing needs to be configured on the server you are browsing from.

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, per server, and sent as Authorization on every call; each request is pinned to the server that was active when it went out, so one server's 401 can never drop another's 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.
