neon 6440281e65 fix(books): count played read-along narration in continue listening
Continue Listening listed only books with audiobook progress, so a book
whose only audio is a read-along EPUB never appeared there, on the web,
on the phone or in the car, however much of its narration was heard.

The shelf now also takes read-along EPUBs whose narration progress was
saved by playing it, which is when its seconds are set. Reading on any
device carries the narration marker along and clears the seconds, so a
book only read stays in Continue Reading. A book with both an audiobook
and narration under way is listed once, at its latest listening.

The web and the iOS Home shelf show these as ordinary book cards. iOS
CarPlay builds before this change leave them out of Continue, which
there lists only audiobooks; the current build plays their narration.

BookOrbit - Server

NestJS 12 backend running on Fastify.

Running

From the repo root: pnpm dev (starts both server and client).

Server only: pnpm start:dev (from this directory).

The server loads environment variables from .env in this directory. See .env.example for all available options.

API docs

OpenAPI docs are disabled by default. Enable them with SWAGGER_ENABLED=true:

SWAGGER_ENABLED=true pnpm start:dev

Then open:

Dev watch uses a Nest config without the Swagger metadata generator so the server does not restart immediately after startup. Full build output still uses the standard Nest config and generates src/metadata.ts for enriched docs.

Module structure

Each feature is a self-contained NestJS module under src/modules/:

src/modules/
├── auth/           Authentication (JWT, OIDC, password reset)
├── book/           Book CRUD, cover images, file serving
├── library/        Library management
├── scanner/        File system scanning, metadata extraction
├── collection/     User book collections
├── smart-scope/           Saved search/filter views
├── user/           User management
├── role/           Roles and permissions (RBAC)

├── kobo/           Kobo device sync
├── annotation/     Highlights and annotations
├── bookmark/       Reading position bookmarks
├── reader-preferences/  Per-user reader settings

├── seed/           Database seeding
└── app-settings/   Global application settings

Database

Schema files live in src/db/schema/, one per domain. Migrations are generated by Drizzle Kit.

pnpm db:generate add_some_column   # generate migration from schema diff
pnpm db:migrate                     # apply pending migrations
pnpm db:studio                      # open Drizzle Studio (DB browser)

Testing

pnpm test           # unit tests
pnpm test:watch     # unit tests in watch mode
pnpm e2e:run        # app-smoke end-to-end test from server package
pnpm test:cov       # unit tests with coverage

For suite-based e2e runs, run from the repository root:

pnpm run e2e:list
pnpm run e2e:all
pnpm run e2e:run -- scanner-scenarios

Quality

pnpm type-check      # TypeScript checks (no emit)
pnpm lint:check      # Non-mutating lint checks
pnpm lint:fix        # Auto-fix lint issues
pnpm format:check    # Prettier check
pnpm format          # Prettier write

Key conventions

  • Constructor injection with @Inject(DB) for the Drizzle instance.
  • Config via @nestjs/config named configs (appConfig, dbConfig, authConfig, storageConfig, mailerConfig). Never read process.env directly in services.
  • DTOs use class-validator decorators. Global ValidationPipe rejects unknown fields.
  • Throw NestJS HttpException subclasses (NotFoundException, ForbiddenException, etc.) - never raw Error.
  • All user-owned data is scoped by userId. Service methods check ownership.
