Timezone is now sent from the client on each request that needs it,
instead of storing it in the database. This simplifies the model and
allows timezone to be dynamic (useful for traveling users).
Changes:
- Remove timezone field from User entity
- Remove timezone from user registration
- GET /habits/today now requires ?timezone= query param
- Add migration to drop timezone column from database
- Update related tests
- Send verification email before creating user to prevent orphaned accounts
- Detect SMTP authentication errors and fail fast without retries
- Add field-level validation errors for better frontend UX
- Configure docker-compose with explicit environment variables
- Document dollar sign escaping in .env.example (use $$)
- Implement welcome email on successful verification
- Clean up unnecessary comments
Implemented email service infrastructure with SMTP support and optional email verification for self-hosted deployments. Registration flow now supports open/closed modes and hardcoded Apocapoc branding.
Key features:
- Email service with SMTP and template rendering
- Optional email verification (auto-verified without SMTP config)
- Registration modes: open/closed for access control
- Hardcoded Apocapoc branding (AppName, AppURL, DefaultFrom)
- Separate registration and login flows (registration no longer returns tokens)
COUNTER type:
- Only accepts integer values (rejects decimals)
- Auto-increment behavior: each mark adds to existing value
- Supports decrement via negative values (e.g., -2)
- Enforces minimum value of 0 (never negative)
- Default increment is 1 if no value provided
VALUE type:
- Accepts decimal values
- Replaces value (no auto-increment)
IsNegative field:
- New boolean field on Habit entity
- Persisted in database (is_negative column)
- Available in all DTOs and HTTP responses
- Marks habits as "negative" (e.g., candy consumption)
Examples:
- COUNTER: 5 + (-2) = 3, 2 + (-3) = 0, 0 + (-1) = 0
- VALUE: 5000 → 12000 = 12000 (replacement)
Remove soft delete from HabitEntry:
- Eliminate DeletedAt field from entity and database
- Change UnmarkHabit from soft delete to hard delete
- Simplify all queries removing deleted_at checks
- Update migration to remove deleted_at column
Add date filtering and smart pagination to GetHabitEntries:
- Support optional from/to date parameters
- Implement intelligent pagination rules:
* No date range: pagination required
* Date range > 1 year: pagination required
* Date range ≤ 1 year: pagination optional
- Pagination defaults (page=1, limit=50) only when required
- Return metadata with total count, page, and limit
Technical improvements:
- Cleaner codebase without soft delete complexity
- Better performance (no filtering in queries)
- More intuitive API with flexible pagination
- Comprehensive test coverage for validation rules
- Add SQLite and UUID dependencies (go-sqlite3, google/uuid)
- Create database connection with automatic migrations
- Implement UserRepository with full CRUD operations
- Implement HabitRepository with JSON serialization for arrays
- Implement HabitEntryRepository with date range queries
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all repositories
- Fix User entity to default timezone to UTC when empty
- All tests passing with TDD approach (Red-Green-Refactor)
