# This is NOT the Next.js you know This version has breaking changes — APIs, conventions, and file structure may all differ from your training data. Read the relevant guide in `node_modules/next/dist/docs/` before writing any code. Heed deprecation notices. # PocketBase select fields are not self-service The `order_items.item_status` field is a `select` with a fixed list of values. If you want to set a new value (e.g. `delivery_note` for the new delivery-note flow), you must add it to the schema in the PB admin **first** — the API will 500 with "Failed to update record." otherwise. The local `pb-exports/pb_schema-2.json` is a snapshot for reference only; the source of truth is the running PB instance. If a new code path sets a select value that doesn't exist yet, ask the user to add it via the PB admin before debugging the API. They do this manually (it's a UI-only change in the PB admin). # Reuse existing multi-file fields for new attachment types The `order_items` collection has a multi-file field `order_item_attachements` (`maxSelect: 10`, accepts any MIME). When adding a new document type to attach to an order item (e.g. delivery note PDF), upload the file to this field rather than creating a new attachment collection. The operator queries by some key field on the item (e.g. `delivery_note_number`) to find the items, then reads the attachments off each item. Pattern in code: 1. POST endpoint: generate the PDF, upload via multipart/form-data using the `order_item_attachements` field on each item in the group 2. GET endpoint: query `order_items` by the key field, find a file whose name matches the expected pattern (e.g. `DN26071401.pdf`), stream the bytes back via PB's `/api/files/...` URL 3. Stable filename per document type so the retrieval side can disambiguate from other attachments on the same item # Data access layer discipline The app has two coexisting data layers: - **Legacy**: `src/lib/pb-helpers.ts` — used directly by Server Components under `src/app/(app)/**/page.tsx` and form components. - **Current**: `src/lib/server/*-service.ts` — exposed via `/api/v1/*` route handlers and `/api/mcp`, used by the agent API and external integrations. Both layers read the same PocketBase collections. Pick the right one depending on what you're doing. ## Rules **For new endpoints / features**: put business logic in `src/lib/server/-service.ts` and expose it via a thin `src/app/api/v1///route.ts`. Do NOT extend `pb-helpers.ts`. **For new pages / form components**: call `/api/v1/*` (or have the Server Component call the corresponding `lib/server/*-service.ts` function directly). Do NOT import from `pb-helpers.ts`. **When touching a page that already uses `pb-helpers.ts`**: migrate its data calls to the service layer in the same commit. One resource at a time, no big-bang rewrites. Lowest-risk order: customers → orders → quotes → suppliers → companies → everything else. ## How to spot you're reaching for the legacy layer `pb-helpers.ts` is the file in question. Grep for it: ```bash grep -rn 'from "@/lib/pb-helpers"' src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" ``` Each hit is one caller to migrate when you're in the area. ## Migration cost indicator A single page rewrite is typically: replace `getX(...)` import + call with `await fetch('/api/v1/x?...')` (or a direct service-layer call), then update the page to await. Half-day budget for 5 pages if no weird cross-resource joins are involved.
