Sonnet 4.5 Prompt: Tube Drop Multi-User Version with YouTube API

Goal

Recreate the Tube Drop Val Town application with these new features:

  1. Google Login via LastLogin to support multiple users (each user has their own saved videos)
  2. YouTube Data API v3 integration to fetch richer video metadata
  3. Export Functionality to download user data (JSON/CSV)

Platform: Val Town

Use these Val Town conventions:

Imports

Create val
// React (pin to 18.2.0) /** @jsxImportSource https://esm.sh/react@18.2.0 */ import React from "https://esm.sh/react@18.2.0"; import { createRoot } from "https://esm.sh/react-dom@18.2.0/client"; // Backend framework import { Hono } from "https://esm.sh/hono@4"; // Val Town stdlib import { sqlite } from "https://esm.town/v/std/sqlite"; import { OpenAI } from "https://esm.town/v/std/openai"; import { listFiles, parseProject, readFile, serveFile, } from "https://esm.town/v/std/utils@85-main/index.ts"; // Google Login import { lastlogin } from "https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/lastlogin_safe"; import { LoginWithGoogleButton } from "https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/LoginWithGoogleButton";

Environment Variables

Create val
const YOUTUBE_API_KEY = Deno.env.get("YOUTUBE_API_KEY");

Database Schema (SQLite)

Add user_email column to scope videos per user. Use a constant for table name:

Create val
// shared/constants.ts export const SQLITE_TABLE_NAME = "tube_drop_videos_v3";
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ${SQLITE_TABLE_NAME} ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, user_email TEXT NOT NULL, -- NEW: Owner of this video url TEXT NOT NULL, title TEXT, channel TEXT, channelUrl TEXT, thumbnail TEXT, category TEXT, subcategory TEXT, tags TEXT, -- JSON array rating INTEGER DEFAULT 0, watched BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0, timestamp DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, publishedAt DATETIME, videoId TEXT, -- YouTube API enriched fields: description TEXT, duration TEXT, -- e.g., "PT5M42S" or human-readable viewCount INTEGER, likeCount INTEGER, channelAvatar TEXT, -- NEW channelHeader TEXT -- NEW ); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_tube_drop_v3_user_url ON tube_drop_videos_v3(user_email, url);

CRITICAL: Val Town SQLite Row Mapping

In Val Town, sqlite.execute returns rows as an array of arrays (values only). You MUST manually map these to objects using the columns property to avoid "undefined" values on the frontend.

Create val
// backend/database.ts function mapRowToObject(row: any[], columns: string[]): any { return columns.reduce((obj, col, i) => ({ ...obj, [col]: row[i] }), {}); } export async function listVideos(userEmail: string) { const { rows, columns } = await sqlite.execute({ sql: `SELECT * FROM ${SQLITE_TABLE_NAME} WHERE user_email = ?`, args: [userEmail], }); return rows.map((r) => mapRowToObject(r, columns)); } // CRITICAL: Use result.lastInsertRowid (note the lowercase 'd') to get the new ID. const result = await sqlite.execute("INSERT..."); const id = Number(result.lastInsertRowid);

Feature 1: Google Login (LastLogin)

Backend Setup

Wrap the Hono app with lastlogin:

Create val
// backend/index.http.ts import { lastlogin } from "https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/lastlogin_safe"; type Variables = { userEmail: string | null; }; const app = new Hono<{ Variables: Variables }>(); // Re-throw errors to see full stack traces in logs app.onError((err, c) => { throw err; }); // Get email from request headers app.use("*", async (c, next) => { const email = c.req.header("X-LastLogin-Email"); if (!email && c.req.path.startsWith("/api/")) { return c.json({ error: "Unauthorized" }, 401); } c.set("userEmail", email || null); await next(); }); // ... routes ... // Export wrapped with lastlogin export default lastlogin(app.fetch);

Frontend Authentication Flow

Instead of server-side injection, the frontend should fetch user info from a dedicated endpoint. This allows for cleaner static file serving.

Create val
// frontend/App.tsx export default function App() { const [user, setUser] = useState<{ email: string | null } | null>(null); useEffect(() => { fetch("/api/user") .then((res) => res.json()) .then(setUser); }, []); if (!user) return <LoadingSpinner />; if (!user.email) return <LoginScreen />; return <MainApp email={user.email} />; }
Create val
// backend route app.get("/api/user", (c) => { return c.json({ email: c.get("userEmail") }); }); // Serve index.html app.get("/", async (c) => { const html = await readFile("/frontend/index.html", import.meta.url); return c.html(html); }); // Serve static assets correctly using import.meta.url app.get("/frontend/*", (c) => serveFile(c.req.path, import.meta.url)); app.get("/shared/*", (c) => serveFile(c.req.path, import.meta.url));

Theme Support & Semantic Classes

The app uses DaisyUI's semantic classes to support automatic theming.

Create val
// frontend/App.tsx export default function App() { const [user, setUser] = useState<{ email: string | null } | null>(null); useEffect(() => { fetch("/api/user").then((res) => res.json()).then(setUser); }, []); if (!user) return <LoadingSpinner />; return ( <div className="bg-base-100 min-h-screen text-base-content"> {!user.email ? <LoginScreen /> : <MainApp email={user.email} />} </div> ); }

User Menu with Theme Switcher (DaisyUI Standard)

Use DaisyUI's dropdown and dropdown-hover classes. Ensure no "mouse gap" by using padding on the content container.

Create val
// frontend/components/UserMenu.tsx export default function UserMenu({ email }: { email: string }) { const [theme, setTheme] = useState(() => document.documentElement.getAttribute("data-theme") || "nord" ); useEffect(() => { document.documentElement.setAttribute("data-theme", theme); }, [theme]); return ( <div className="dropdown dropdown-end dropdown-hover"> <button type="button" tabIndex={0} className="btn btn-ghost btn-sm flex items-center gap-2"> <img src={avatarUrl} className="rounded-full w-7 h-7" /> <span className="hidden sm:inline truncate max-w-[120px]">{email}</span> <Icon icon="mdi:chevron-down" className="opacity-50 text-xs" /> </button> <div className="dropdown-content z-[50] w-64 pt-2"> <div className="bg-base-200 text-base-content shadow-2xl border border-base-300 rounded-xl overflow-hidden glass p-4"> {/* Theme selector and sign out links */} </div> </div> </div> ); }

Feature 2: YouTube Data API v3 Integration

API Setup

Store YOUTUBE_API_KEY in Val Town environment variables.

Backend YouTube Service

Create val
// backend/youtube.ts const YOUTUBE_API_KEY = Deno.env.get("YOUTUBE_API_KEY"); interface YouTubeVideoDetails { title: string; channel: string; channelId: string; channelUrl: string; thumbnail: string; description: string; publishedAt: string; duration: string; viewCount: number; likeCount: number; channelAvatar?: string | null; -- NEW channelHeader?: string | null; -- NEW } export async function fetchVideoDetails( videoId: string, ): Promise<YouTubeVideoDetails | null> { if (!YOUTUBE_API_KEY) return null; const url = new URL("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos"); url.searchParams.set("part", "snippet,contentDetails,statistics"); url.searchParams.set("id", videoId); url.searchParams.set("key", YOUTUBE_API_KEY); const res = await fetch(url.toString()); if (!res.ok) return null; const data = await res.json(); const item = data.items?.[0]; if (!item) return null; return { title: item.snippet.title, channel: item.snippet.channelTitle, channelId: item.snippet.channelId, channelUrl: `https://www.youtube.com/channel/${item.snippet.channelId}/videos`, thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails?.maxres?.url ?? item.snippet.thumbnails?.high?.url ?? item.snippet.thumbnails?.default?.url, description: item.snippet.description, publishedAt: item.snippet.publishedAt, duration: item.contentDetails.duration, // ISO 8601 format viewCount: parseInt(item.statistics.viewCount ?? "0"), likeCount: parseInt(item.statistics.likeCount ?? "0"), }; }

Usage When Saving Video

  1. Extract videoId from URL
  2. Call fetchVideoDetails(videoId)
  3. Store enriched metadata in database
  4. Fall back to oEmbed if no API key or API fails

Feature 3: Export Data

API Endpoints

Create val
// Export as JSON app.get("/api/export/json", async (c) => { const email = c.get("userEmail"); const videos = await listVideos(email); return c.json(videos); }); // Export as CSV app.get("/api/export/csv", async (c) => { const email = c.get("userEmail"); const videos = await listVideos(email); const headers = [ "id", "url", "title", "channel", "category", "subcategory", "tags", "rating", "watched", "publishedAt", "timestamp", ]; const csvRows = [ headers.join(","), ...videos.map((v) => headers.map((h) => { const val = v[h]; if (Array.isArray(val)) return `"${val.join("; ")}"`; if ( typeof val === "string" && (val.includes(",") || val.includes('"')) ) { return `"${val.replace(/"/g, '""')}"`; } return val ?? ""; }).join(",") ), ]; return new Response(csvRows.join("\n"), { headers: { "Content-Type": "text/csv", "Content-Disposition": `attachment; filename="tube-drop-export-${ new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10) }.csv"`, }, }); });

Frontend Export UI

Add export buttons to UserMenu:

Create val
function UserMenu({ email }: { email: string }) { return ( <div className="relative group"> <button className="flex items-center gap-2 text-gray-300 hover:text-white"> <img src={`https://ui-avatars.com/api/?name=${ encodeURIComponent(email) }&background=ef4444&color=fff`} alt="avatar" className="w-8 h-8 rounded-full" /> <span className="text-sm truncate max-w-[150px]">{email}</span> </button> <div className="hidden group-hover:block absolute right-0 mt-2 w-48 bg-neutral-800 rounded-lg shadow-xl py-2"> <a href="/api/export/json" className="block px-4 py-2 text-sm text-gray-300 hover:bg-neutral-700" > Export as JSON </a> <a href="/api/export/csv" className="block px-4 py-2 text-sm text-gray-300 hover:bg-neutral-700" > Export as CSV </a> <hr className="my-2 border-neutral-700" /> <a href="/auth/logout" className="block px-4 py-2 text-sm text-red-400 hover:bg-neutral-700" > Sign Out </a> </div> </div> ); }

Existing Features to Preserve

Core Functionality

  • Save YouTube URLs (paste, drag-drop, or input)
  • Automatic video metadata fetching (title, channel, thumbnail)
  • AI-powered auto-tagging (category, subcategory, tags) using OpenAI
  • Edit video details (title, category, subcategory, tags, rating, watched status)
  • Delete videos (with double-click confirmation)
  • Copy URL to clipboard

Filtering & Sorting

  • Top Bar: All controls reside in a sticky #app-controls toolbar.
  • Search: Real-time search by title, channel, URL, or tags.
  • Improved Filter Inputs: Use input with datalist for Category, Subcategory, and Tag to allow custom text entry and suggestions.
  • Watched Toggle: Use a DaisyUI join group for a segmented toggle (All, Watched, Unwatched) instead of a select dropdown.
  • Sort By: Saved date, published date, title, rating.
  • Clear Filters: A quick-action button to reset all filter state.

Grouping & Presets

  • Dynamic Grouping: Group by none, date, category, or published year.
  • Group Sorting: Sort groups themselves in Alphabetical Ascending or Descending order.
  • Config Presets: One-click configuration for common filters (e.g., "2018" history view, "AI Coding" study view).
  • Sticky Headers: Sticky group headers with calculated video counts.

Advanced Visibility Settings

  • Toggle Elements: Global settings to show/hide specific card components (Thumbnail, Title, Channel, Description, Rating, Tags, Category, Metadata).
  • Theme Consistency: All modals use bg-base-100 to ensure readability across 30+ DaisyUI themes.
  • Repositioned Feedback: Success/Error toasts are centered at the bottom for better visibility.

Theming & Aesthetics

  • DaisyUI Support: The app MUST use semantic classes (bg-base-100, bg-base-200, text-base-content, border-base-300) to support automatic 30+ DaisyUI themes.
  • NEVER use hardcoded backgrounds like bg-neutral-900 or text-white on the main container.
  • Glassmorphism: Use the .glass utility for sidebars and modals.
  • Status Indicators: Use DaisyUI alert alert-info/success/error classes for notifications.
  • Buttons/Inputs: Use btn btn-primary btn-sm and input input-bordered.
  • Icons: Use @iconify/react to prevent React hydration crashes.

UI Structure & Controls

  • Sticky Controls Header: Use a sticky top bar for all actions:
    Create val
    <div id="app-controls" className="sticky top-0 z-10 border-base-300 bg-base-100/80 backdrop-blur-md border-b p-4">
  • No Sidebar: The layout is a single vertical column, centered with mx-auto max-w-7xl.
  • Top Actions: Combine the search bar and the "Add Video" input in the top row.
  • Grid Layout: Videos display in a dense vertical list or grid below the controls.
  • Glassmorphism: Use the .glass utility for the sticky header and modals.
  • Local Storage: Persist filters, settings, and theme choice.
