# ShopDB Flask

A modern rewrite of the classic ASP/VBScript ShopDB application using Flask (Python) and Vue 3. This application manages shop floor machines, PCs, printers, applications, and related infrastructure for manufacturing environments.

## Overview

ShopDB tracks and manages:
- **Machines** - CNC equipment, CMMs, inspection systems, etc.
- **PCs** - Shopfloor computers, engineering workstations
- **Printers** - Network printers with Zabbix supply integration
- **Network devices** - Switches, routers, and the subnet browser
- **Measuring tools** - Gage-lab instruments with calibration tracking
- **Applications** - Software deployed across the shop floor, with per-PC install tracking
- **Employees** - Directory, recognition and training notifications
- **Warranties** - Coverage records with Dell warranty lookups
- **USB devices** - CMMC check-in/out tracking
- **Knowledge Base** - Documentation and troubleshooting guides
- **GE-Enforce manifests** - Imaging/software manifest editing and fleet compliance

## Tech Stack

**Backend:**
- Python 3.12 with Flask
- SQLAlchemy ORM
- MySQL 5.7+ database (5.6 works with extra utf8mb4 config; see docs/DEPLOY.md)
- JWT authentication
- Plugin architecture for extensibility

**Frontend:**
- Vue 3 with Composition API
- Vue Router for navigation
- Pinia for state management
- Vite build system

## Naming Conventions

To maintain consistency with the legacy ShopDB database and codebase, the following naming standards apply:

### Database

- **Table names:** Lowercase, single word, no underscores or dashes
  - Examples: `assets`, `computers`, `printers`, `businessunits`
- **Column names:** Lowercase, single word, no underscores or dashes
  - Examples: `assetid`, `assetnumber`, `hostname`, `isactive`, `createddate`
- **Foreign keys:** Referenced table name + `id`
  - Examples: `locationid`, `vendorid`, `modelnumberid`, `computertypeid`
- **Boolean columns:** Prefixed with `is` or `has`
  - Examples: `isactive`, `isshopfloor`, `iscolor`, `isdhcp`, `islicenced`

### Code

- **Python variables:** Follow database naming where applicable (lowercase, no underscores for model fields)
- **JavaScript variables:** camelCase for local variables, but match API field names from backend
- **Vue components:** PascalCase for component names
- **CSS classes:** Lowercase with dashes for multi-word classes

### API

- **Endpoints:** Lowercase, plural nouns
  - Examples: `/api/machines`, `/api/computers`, `/api/locations`
- **Query parameters:** Lowercase, single word
  - Examples: `?locationid=5`, `?isactive=true`, `?assettype=computer`

## Style Guidelines

- No emojis in code, comments, documentation, or UI
- Keep UI functional and professional
- Dark theme is the default
- Consistent table layouts across all list views

## Setup

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.12
- Node.js 18+
- MySQL 5.7+ (5.6 works with extra utf8mb4 config; see docs/DEPLOY.md)

ShopDB Flask uses MySQL as the canonical database. SQLite is used only for the
test suite (`TestingConfig` in `shopdb/config.py` points at an in-memory
SQLite). Do not run dev or production against SQLite.

### Distribution

The application is distributed through the internal GE Aerospace git server. Clone
it from there; there is no public package or image registry.

### Fast path (Docker)

The Docker image builds the Vue frontend and serves it from the API container,
so a container deploy needs no separate Node build step.

```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: set SECRET_KEY, JWT_SECRET_KEY, DATABASE_URL, CORS_ORIGINS,
# and the MYSQL_* passwords (see docs/CONFIG.md for every variable).

docker compose up -d --build

# Create the schema and seed the platform data (idempotent, safe to re-run):
docker compose exec api flask db upgrade
docker compose exec api flask seed permissions
docker compose exec api flask seed settings
docker compose exec api flask seed reference-data
```

Then browse to the site and complete the first-run setup wizard at `/setup`
(it creates the first admin account and captures site identity). To create the
admin headlessly instead of using the wizard:

```bash
docker compose exec api flask seed admin --username admin --email admin@facility.example.com
```

### Manual path (venv + Node)

```bash
# Backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database credentials and secrets.

export FLASK_APP=shopdb
flask db upgrade
flask plugin upgrade-all      # per-plugin schema (ADR-008)
flask seed permissions
flask seed settings
flask seed reference-data
flask run --port 5001         # MUST be 5001 - the frontend dev server proxies here

# Frontend (separate terminal)
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev          # dev server on :5173
npm run build        # production build into frontend/dist (served by Flask)
```

Complete first-run setup at `/setup`, or run `flask seed admin` for a headless
admin account. The repo ships VS Code config in `.vscode/` (F5 debugs the
backend; a "Dev site" task runs both servers). A fuller day-one walkthrough,
including VS Code and troubleshooting, is the DEVELOPMENT-SETUP page in the
project wiki.

To import a site's legacy data, use the HTTP import surface: an admin API
token plus [docs/IMPORT-API.md](docs/IMPORT-API.md) drive the whole migration
through documented endpoints (`X-Import-Mode` preserves original timestamps).
`scripts/site_imports/wjf/` is the West Jefferson reference loader.

For the full per-site deployment runbook see [docs/DEPLOY.md](docs/DEPLOY.md);
for every environment variable and Setting key see [docs/CONFIG.md](docs/CONFIG.md).

## Configuration

Environment variables (`.env`):

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `DATABASE_URL` | MySQL connection string |
| `SECRET_KEY` | Flask secret key |
| `JWT_SECRET_KEY` | JWT signing key |
| `JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES` | Access token TTL (seconds) |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Logging verbosity |

## API Documentation

The REST API follows standard conventions:

| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| GET | `/api/machines` | List machines (filterable by type) |
| GET | `/api/machines/:id` | Get machine details |
| POST | `/api/machines` | Create machine |
| PUT | `/api/machines/:id` | Update machine |
| DELETE | `/api/machines/:id` | Soft delete machine |

Each asset plugin exposes the same CRUD pattern on its own prefix
(`/api/computers`, `/api/printers`, `/api/network`, `/api/measuringtools`),
and cross-cutting asset endpoints live under `/api/assets`.

Query parameters for list endpoints:
- `page` - Page number (default: 1)
- `perpage` - Items per page
- `sort` - Sort field
- `dir` - Sort direction (asc/desc)
- `search` - Search term
- `assettype` - Filter by asset type (computer, printer, machine, networkdevice, measuringtool)

## Plugin System

ShopDB supports plugins for extending functionality. See `CONTRIBUTING.md` for plugin development guidelines.

The image bundles twelve plugins; only the ones a site installs are loaded:

- **computers** - Shopfloor PCs and workstations, collector fleet ingest
- **employees** - Employee directory
- **geenforce** - GE-Enforce imaging/software manifests and fleet compliance
- **machines** - CNC, CMM, and other shop-floor machines
- **measuringtools** - Gage-lab instruments with calibration tracking
- **knowledgebase** - Documentation and troubleshooting guides
- **network** - Network devices and subnets
- **notifications** - Shopfloor notifications and recognition feed
- **printers** - Extended printer management with Zabbix integration
- **slides** - TV/kiosk slideshows
- **usb** - CMMC USB check-in/out tracking
- **warranty** - Warranty records with Dell lookups

## Legacy Migration

This project replicates functionality from the classic ASP/VBScript ShopDB site. Key mappings:

| Legacy | Modern |
|--------|--------|
| ASP/VBScript | Flask/Python |
| Classic ADO | SQLAlchemy |
| Server-side HTML | Vue 3 SPA |
| Session auth | JWT tokens |
