### API Development Notes
start command `task go:run`
1. API Server does not auto reload. You'll need to restart the server after making changes.
2. Unit tests should be written in Go, however end-to-end or user story tests should be written in TypeScript using the client library in the frontend directory.

### Frontend Development Notes
start command `task: ui:dev`
1. The frontend is a Vue 3 app with Nuxt.js that uses Tailwind and DaisyUI for styling.
2. We're using Vitest for our automated testing. you can run these with `task ui:watch`.
3. Tests require the API server to be running and in some cases the first run will fail due to a race condition. If this happens just run the tests again and they should pass.

## Quick Start
Using the CSV import is the recommended way for adding items to the database. It is always going to be the fastest way to import any large amount of items and provides the most flexibility when it comes to adding items.

**Current Limitations**
- Imports only supports importing items, locations, and labels
- Imports only support importing items, locations, and labels
- Imports and Exports do not support attachments. Attachments must be uploaded after import
- CSV Exports do not support nested path exports (e.g. `Home / Office / Desk`) and will only export the Items direct parent, (though imports _do_ support nested paths)
- Cannot specify item-to-item relationships (e.g. `Item A` is a child of `Item B`)

Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project, I've tried to keep the following principles in mind:
- _Simple_ - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container, or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice.
- _Blazingly Fast_ - Homebox is written in Go which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.
- _Blazingly Fast_ - Homebox is written in Go, which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.
- _Portable_ - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup.
## Project Status
Homebox is currently in early-active development and is currently in **beta** stage. This means that the project may still be unstable and clunky. Overall we are striving to not introduce any breaking changes and have checks in place to ensure migrations and upgrades are smooth. However, we do not guarantee that there will be no breaking changes. We will try to keep the documentation up to date as we make changes.

## Why Not Use Something Else?
There are a lot of great inventory management systems out there, but none of them _really_ fit my needs as a home user. Snipe-IT is a fantastic product that has so many robust features and management options that it's easy to become overwhelmed and confused. I wanted something that was simple and easy to use that didn't require a lot of cognitive overhead to manage. I primarily built this to organize my IOT devices and save my warranty and documentation information in a central, searchable location.

### Spreadsheet
That's a fair point. If your needs can be fulfilled by a Spreadsheet, I'd suggest using that instead. I've found spreadsheets get pretty unwieldy when you have a lot of data and it's hard to keep track of what's where. I also wanted to be able to search and filter my data in a more robust way than a spreadsheet can provide. I also wanted to leave to door open for more advanced features in the future like maintenance logs, moving label generators, and more.

### Snipe-It?
Snipe-It is the gold standard for IT management. If your use-case is to manage consumables and IT physical infrastructure I highly suggest you look at Snipe-It over Homebox, it's just more purpose built for that use case. Homebox is, in contrast, purpose built for the home user, which means that we try to focus on keeping things simple and easy to use. Lowering the friction for creating items and managing them is a key goal of Homebox which means you lose out on some of the more advanced features. In most cases this is a good trade-off.

### 2. Auto Incrementing IDs with Reset
In some cases you may want to skip some items such as consumables, or items that are loosely tracked. In this case, we recommend that you leave auto-incrementing ID's enabled _however_ when you create a new item that you want to skip, you can go to that item and reset the ID to 0. This will remove it from the auto-incrementing sequence and the next item will receive the next available ID.

If you're migrating from an older version there is a action on the users profile page to assign IDs to all items. This will assign the next available ID to all items in the order of creation. You should _only_ do this once during the migration process. You should be especially cautious of this action if you're using the reset feature described in option number 2

## QR Codes

Homebox has a built-in QR code generator that can be used to generate QR codes for your items. This is useful for tracking items with a mobile device. You can generate a QR code for any item by clicking the QR code icon in the top right of the item details page. The same can be done for the Labels and Locations page. Currently support is limited to generating one off QR Codes.

Currently, support is limited to generating one-off QR Codes.
However, the API endpoint is available for generating QR codes on the fly for any item (or any other data) if you provide a valid API key in the query parameters. An example url would look like `/api/v1/qrcode?data=https://homebox.fly.dev/item/{uuid}`. Currently the easiest way to get an API token is to use one from an existing URL of the QR Code in the API key, but this will be improved in the future.
