Inventarr

This is an inventory management system for tracking details on my components, tools, ingredients, etc.

I recently ran into two problems:

• I couldn't find a component I knew I had.
• I ordered redundant components that I had forgotten I had.

This is wasteful. I need a better way to track what I have and therefore what I need.

I intend to share this inventory management system with a Project Tracker and Recipe List project I'm working on next.

I consider items to be in a hierarchy of locations. Rooms have Chests. Chests have Pockets. Pockets have Items. I needed, I could expand this to Buildings have Rooms, but I don't need to go that far at this time for a personal inventory management tool.

I'm also considering this to be a fun way to practice some React.

Road Map

• Basic Backend
  • CRUD for Rooms
  • CRUD for Chests
  • CRUD for Pocketss
  • CRUD for Items
• Basic Frontend
  • Add Banner to shoot updates to
  • View
  • Create
    • TODO: Add information to banner
  • Modify
    • TODO: Support Item Types in Modify Item
    • TODO: Add information to banner
  • Delete
    • TODO: Refresh ListX Components after clicking Delete
    • TODO: Add information to banner
  • Share Data via Env Var and Config
• Advanced Backend
  • Upload/Retrieve images on Items
    • TODO: Route for getting thumbnails, maybe add a query to /photo
  • Create Thumbnails
  • Copy Chests (Create a duplicate with same count and types of pockets, but new ids)
  • Support Labels
    • Generate QR Code
      • QR Code is stringified JSON like { "type": "item", "id": 1 }
    • Generate Message
    • Handle min/max for labels
    • Handle text resizing
  • Support Inventory Checking
    • New route that takes in the scan of a qr and returns full data
      • Data will be different for different types
  • Search fields in Tables
    • Search Items
    • Search Pockets, useful???
    • Search Chests, useful???
    • Search Rooms, useful???
  • Consume Items
    • Unit conversion (useful for ingredients)
  • ???
• Advanced Frontend
  • Show photos in table
  • Search fields in tables
    • TODO: Why do some images not update between searches? (Issue was table used index as key instead of item id)
    • TODO: Handle bad requests better, like if the string isn't stringified json.
    • TODO: Add information to banner
  • Sortable table
  • Inventory checks
  • Support Create Thumbnails, meaning use thumbnails instead of full images
  • Support Copy Chests
  • Support Labels
    • Update Create
    • Update Modify
    • Handle min/max for labels
      • Should height be unbounded?
  • Scan, support inventory checking
    • New page that has an input for the value of a qrcode
      • Will display data differently depending on the type
      • Will select the input so a new entry will override and kick off new data pull
    • TODO: Add information to banner
  • Convert Docker Compose to Kubernetes.
    • Research options: Kompose
    • TODO: Clean up artifacts using proper .dockerignore
  • ???
