- Add parameter conversion in CapacitorPlatformService.queueOperation()
- Convert booleans to integers (0/1) for SQLite compatibility
- Convert objects/arrays to JSON strings for database storage
- Handle null/undefined values properly
- Ensure all SQL parameters are SQLite-compatible before queuing
This should resolve the 'SQLite3 can only bind numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, and null'
error by converting all parameters at the platform service level before they reach SQLite.
- Fix generateInsertStatement to convert all values to SQLite-compatible types
- Fix generateUpdateStatement to handle object and boolean conversion
- Manually mark existing migrations as completed to prevent duplicate execution
- Ensure all SQL parameters are converted to supported types: numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, or null
- Convert objects/arrays to JSON strings and booleans to integers (0/1)
This resolves the 'SQLite3 can only bind numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, and null' error
and prevents 'duplicate column name: iViewContent' migration conflicts.
- Updated migration 001_initial to use INSERT OR IGNORE for secret and settings tables
- Prevents unique constraint failures when database already exists from previous runs
- Allows clean migration process without requiring database deletion
- Database initialization now works properly in development environment
Fixes:
- UNIQUE constraint failed: secret.id error resolved
- Migration process now handles existing data gracefully
- Fresh database creation works without conflicts
- Electron app now starts successfully with working database
All major Electron issues resolved:
✅ TypeScript compilation working
✅ SQLite plugin properly configured
✅ UI assets loading correctly
✅ Database migrations successful
✅ App startup and initialization working
- Updated Content Security Policy in setup.ts to allow:
* External stylesheets from Google Fonts (https://fonts.googleapis.com)
* Font loading from Google Fonts CDN (https://fonts.gstatic.com)
* HTTPS resources for better security
- Fixed CSS asset loading issue:
* Main CSS file exists but wasn't being loaded due to missing link tag
* Added manual CSS link injection as temporary fix
* UI now loads properly in Electron context
- Electron app now successfully:
* Loads and displays the user interface
* Initializes SQLite plugin with all 45+ methods available
* Processes database operations correctly
* Handles application startup sequence
Note: Minor SQLite data binding issue remains but core functionality works
- Added Electron dependencies to package.json:
* @capacitor-community/electron ^5.0.1
* electron-builder ^26.0.12
* better-sqlite3-multiple-ciphers ^12.1.1
* electron-json-storage ^4.6.0
- Added Electron development scripts:
* electron:dev - Build and run Electron in development mode
* electron:setup - Initialize Electron environment
* electron:dev-full - Full development workflow script
- Updated .gitignore to exclude sql-wasm.wasm file
- Updated package-lock.json with new dependency resolutions
Note: Main app source files (router, platform service, views) also
have minor modifications from previous development work
- Fixed TypeScript configuration in electron/tsconfig.json:
* Added skipLibCheck: true to resolve node_modules type conflicts
* Added allowSyntheticDefaultImports for better module compatibility
* Disabled strict mode to avoid unnecessary type errors
* Updated TypeScript version to ~5.2.2 for consistency
- Resolved SQLite plugin configuration issue:
* Changed plugin key from 'SQLite' to 'CapacitorSQLite' in capacitor.config.json
* This fixes 'Cannot read properties of undefined (reading electronIsEncryption)' error
* All 45+ SQLite plugin methods now properly registered and available
- Added Electron development scripts:
* electron-dev.sh for streamlined development workflow
* setup-electron.sh for initial Electron environment setup
- Electron app now starts successfully without TypeScript compilation errors
- SQLite plugin fully functional with proper configuration access
Status: Electron platform now working for TimeSafari development
- Add electron platform section to capacitor.config.json
- Configure deep linking with timesafari:// scheme
- Set up build options for macOS, Windows, and Linux
- Configure output directory and file inclusion
- Add platform-specific build targets (DMG, NSIS, AppImage)
- Support both x64 and arm64 architectures for macOS
- Set appropriate app categories for each platform
This enables building TimeSafari as a native desktop application
using Capacitor's Electron platform while maintaining existing
mobile and web functionality.
- Replace manual CSS injection hack with Vite plugin
- Configure Vite to handle both main process and renderer builds
- Update build scripts to work with proper Vite output structure
- Remove fix-inject-css.js post-build script
- Update BUILDING.md documentation
- Add build-modernization-context.md for future reference
Technical changes:
- vite.config.electron.mts: Add electron-css-injection plugin and proper output config
- scripts/build-electron.js: Simplify to work with Vite-generated files
- BUILDING.md: Update Electron build documentation
- doc/build-modernization-context.md: Document context and decisions
Security/maintenance improvements:
- Eliminate manual file manipulation hacks
- Ensure deterministic, reproducible builds
- Centralize build logic in Vite configuration
- Improve developer experience and CI/CD compatibility

- Configure Vite renderer build for relative asset paths and explicit asset directory
- Remove baseURLForDataURL (caused Electron crash)
- Add debug logging for asset/network requests
- App now loads and assets are found, but some stylesheets may still be missing
Next: investigate CSS chunking/code splitting for Electron reliability.
- Fix TypeScript compilation errors in platform services
- Add missing rotateCamera method and isNativeApp property
- Fix index.html path resolution for packaged Electron apps
- Create separate Vite config for Electron renderer process
- Migrate from nostr-tools to @nostr/tools via JSR for ESM compatibility
- Update all Vite configs to handle mixed npm/JSR package management
- Add comprehensive documentation in BUILDING.md
- Fix preload script path resolution in packaged builds
Resolves build failures with deep imports and missing UI in AppImage.
- Add name, description, and agent as optional properties to GenericVerifiableCredential
- Improve type safety and IntelliSense for common claim properties
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing code
- Reduce need for type assertions when accessing claim properties
- Add name, description, and agent as optional properties to GenericVerifiableCredential
- Improve type safety and IntelliSense for common claim properties
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing code
- Reduce need for type assertions when accessing claim properties
- Restore runMigrations functionality for database schema migrations
- Remove indexedDBMigrationService.ts (was for IndexedDB to SQLite migration)
- Recreate migrationService.ts and db-sql/migration.ts for schema management
- Add proper TypeScript error handling with type guards in AccountViewView
- Fix CreateAndSubmitClaimResult property access in QuickActionBvcBeginView
- Remove LeafletMouseEvent from Vue components array (it's a type, not component)
- Add null check for UserNameDialog callback to prevent undefined assignment
- Implement extractErrorMessage helper function for consistent error handling
- Update router to remove database-migration route
The migration system now properly handles database schema evolution
across app versions, while the IndexedDB to SQLite migration service
has been removed as it was specific to that one-time migration.
- Ensures person-to-person gifting won't allow the same entity as giver and recipient
- Disable user item selection if it would create conflict
- Error messaging fallback
