Purpose

Shared TypeScript packages used by both Planner and Journal apps. All packages live under packages/ and are published as @trails-cool/<name> within the monorepo via pnpm workspaces.

Requirements

Requirement: Shared types package

The @trails-cool/types package SHALL export TypeScript interfaces for Route, Activity, Waypoint, RouteVersion, and RouteMetadata used by both apps.

Scenario: Import types in Planner

• WHEN the Planner app imports @trails-cool/types
• THEN it has access to the Waypoint, Route, and RouteMetadata interfaces

Scenario: Import types in Journal

• WHEN the Journal app imports @trails-cool/types
• THEN it has access to Route, Activity, RouteVersion, and RouteMetadata interfaces

Requirement: GPX parsing package

The @trails-cool/gpx package SHALL parse GPX XML into structured data (waypoints, tracks, elevation) and generate GPX XML from structured data. It is the sole owner of GPX encoding and decoding — apps do not bundle their own GPX logic.

Scenario: Parse GPX to waypoints

• WHEN the gpx package parses a valid GPX file
• THEN it returns an array of Waypoint objects with lat, lon, and optional name

Scenario: Generate GPX from waypoints

• WHEN the gpx package is given an array of waypoints and a track
• THEN it generates a valid GPX XML string including the custom <extensions> namespace for trails.cool metadata (see docs/gpx-extensions.md)

Scenario: Extract elevation data

• WHEN the gpx package parses a GPX file with elevation data
• THEN it returns elevation gain, loss, and a profile array of distance/elevation pairs

Requirement: FIT encoding package

The @trails-cool/fit package SHALL provide a gpxToFitCourse function that converts a GPX string to a FIT Course binary (Uint8Array) suitable for upload to Wahoo and other head units. It is the sole owner of FIT file generation; apps do not bundle their own FIT encoder. See wahoo-route-push spec for the full round-trip contract.

Scenario: Import gpxToFitCourse in Journal

• WHEN the Journal app imports @trails-cool/fit
• THEN it has access to gpxToFitCourse({ gpx, name }) returning a Uint8Array

Requirement: Map components package

The @trails-cool/map package SHALL provide React/Leaflet components (MapView, RouteLayer) for rendering interactive maps. It re-exports @trails-cool/map-core so consumers only need one import for both components and constants. Interactive Planner-specific features (midpoint handles, no-go drawing, elevation chart) are implemented in the Planner app, not in this package.

Scenario: Render map component

• WHEN the map package's MapView component is rendered with a center and zoom
• THEN a Leaflet map is displayed with the configured base tile layer

Scenario: Display route on map

• WHEN the map package's RouteLayer component receives GeoJSON
• THEN it renders a polyline on the map

Requirement: Map constants package

The @trails-cool/map-core package SHALL provide framework-free map constants and utilities: tile/overlay layer configs, color palettes (surface, highway, smoothness, grade, etc.), POI category definitions, z-index constants, and snap distance. It has zero React/Leaflet dependencies so it can be imported in server-side code, jobs, and tests without pulling in browser globals.

Scenario: Import colors in Journal server code

• WHEN server-side Journal code imports @trails-cool/map-core
• THEN it has access to color maps and tile configs without importing React or Leaflet

Requirement: UI component package

The @trails-cool/ui package SHALL provide shared React components (buttons, layout primitives, form elements) styled with Tailwind CSS, used by both apps.

Requirement: i18n package

The @trails-cool/i18n package SHALL provide react-i18next configuration and translation strings for English (primary) and German.

Scenario: Display German translation

• WHEN a user's browser locale is set to German
• THEN UI strings are displayed in German

Scenario: Fallback to English

• WHEN a user's browser locale is not supported
• THEN UI strings fall back to English

Requirement: API contracts package

The @trails-cool/api package SHALL define shared API contracts: endpoint URL constants, request/response types, pagination shapes, error codes, and API version. Both apps import from this package; neither defines its own duplicate API types.

Requirement: Database package

The @trails-cool/db package SHALL provide the Drizzle ORM schema (all tables across planner.* and journal.* schemas), the database client factory, and migration helpers. The Journal app is the sole runtime consumer; the Planner references only planner.* tables. All schema changes flow through this package.

Requirement: Background jobs package

The @trails-cool/jobs package SHALL provide the pg-boss client factory (createBoss), the worker registration helper, and the JobDefinition type that each job exports. Apps construct boss instances from this package rather than importing pg-boss directly.

Requirement: Sentry configuration package

The @trails-cool/sentry-config package SHALL provide shared Sentry initialisation helpers used by both apps. It sets user context, attaches session IDs as tags, and configures source map upload. Apps call the shared helper from their Sentry entry points rather than configuring Sentry inline.
