PocketBase Collection Schemas

All userId fields are type text (not relation). PocketBase 0.39.1.

services

Fields: id, userId, name, description, price, category, duration, maintenanceInterval, createdAt, updatedAt, recommendation, explanation, technicianNotes

Critical: The legacy import stores technician narratives in explanation, NOT description. When loading services for display in the Settings catalog, map explanation → description UI field. The QuoteGenerator already reads explanation directly.

settings

Fields: id, userId, name, data (JSON)

All business settings go into the data JSON field. When creating: { userId, name: 'businessSettings', data: { businessName, ... } }. When updating: { data: { businessName, ... } }. When loading: read from record.data.businessName (not record.businessName). Include fallback to top-level for backward compatibility.

service_advisors

Fields: id, name, email, phone, userId (text)

API rules (must be set after creation): listRule: "userId = @request.auth.id", viewRule: "userId = @request.auth.id", createRule: "@request.auth.id != ''", updateRule: "userId = @request.auth.id", deleteRule: "userId = @request.auth.id"

repairOrders (spq-v2)

Fields: id, status (TEXT), userId (TEXT), customerName, customerEmail, customerPhone, vehicleInfo, vin, mileage, roNumber, notes, services (TEXT — JSON array stored as string), writeupTime (TEXT — ISO timestamp), promisedTime (TEXT — ISO timestamp), estimatedTime (TEXT — hours as decimal string, e.g. "1.5"), completedTime (TEXT — ISO timestamp), financial (JSON blob), advisorName, total (NUMERIC), tax (NUMERIC), shopCharges (NUMERIC), warranty (TEXT/"bool"), lastModified, createdAt, updatedAt, customerId, workStatus

⚠️ Critical: Field name mismatch. The React frontend uses estimatedDuration (minutes number) but PB stores estimatedTime (hours as TEXT string like "1.5"). Always normalize in both directions:

On load (fetchOrders): estimatedDuration = Math.round(parseFloat(item.estimatedTime) * 60);
On save (handleSave / handleAddTime): estimatedTime: (estimatedDuration / 60).toFixed(1);

Custom fields: There is no customerType or estimatedDuration column. Store extra fields in the financial JSON blob:

Read: item.financial?.customerType
Write: pb.collection('repairOrders').update(id, { financial: JSON.stringify({ ...existing, customerType: 'waiter' }) })

Creating collections via API

POST to /api/collections with fields array (not schema). PocketBase 0.39.x uses fields. Example:

{
  "name": "service_advisors",
  "type": "base",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "name", "type": "text", "required": true},
    {"name": "userId", "type": "text", "required": true}
  ]
}

Superuser auth: POST /api/collections/_superusers/auth-with-password with { "identity": "email", "password": "..." }. Returns { token, record }. Use token in Authorization header.
