# Inline Title Editing — Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Allow users to click the recipe title on the detail page to edit it inline, saving via PATCH to the server.
**Architecture:** Client-side `contenteditable` on the `<h1>` sends `PATCH /recipes/{filename}/title` with JSON body. Server updates the `title:` field in the .cook file's YAML front matter. DOM updates in-place on success — no page reload. Existing fsnotify watcher + SSE handle out-of-band updates for other clients.
**Tech Stack:** Haskell (WAI), blaze-html, vanilla JS, Cooklang .cook file format
---
### Task 1: Add title CSS class to recipe page
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/Roux/Html.hs:1-1032`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add CSS class to the title `<h1>`**
In `renderRecipe`, find the title heading and add a CSS class for JS targeting.
Change:
```haskell
H.h1 $ H.toHtml (titleText recipe)
```
To:
```haskell
H.h1 ! A.class_ "roux-recipe-title" $ H.toHtml (titleText recipe)
```
Make sure `A` is imported from `Text.Blaze.Html5.Attributes` (it already is).
- [ ] **Step 2: Add CSS for editable state**
In the `T.unlines` block inside `H.style` in the `page` function, append these rules after the existing timer animations:
```css
".roux-recipe-title { cursor: pointer; position: relative; }"
".roux-recipe-title:hover::after { content: '\\270E'; font-size: 0.7rem; opacity: 0.3; margin-left: 0.5rem; vertical-align: super; }"
".roux-recipe-title.roux-editing { cursor: text; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgba(184, 92, 56, 0.4); outline: none; }"
".roux-recipe-title.roux-title-error { animation: roux-shake 0.3s ease-in-out; }"
"@keyframes roux-shake { 0%,100% { transform: translateX(0); } 25% { transform: translateX(-4px); } 75% { transform: translateX(4px); } }"
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run `./hs stack build` to confirm compilation**
```bash
cd /work/personal/roux/roux-main && ./hs stack build 2>&1 | tail -20
```
Expected: Build succeeds with no errors or warnings.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add src/Roux/Html.hs
git commit -m "feat: add CSS class and styles for editable recipe title"
```

### Task 2: Add client-side title editing JavaScript
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/Roux/Html.hs`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `titleEditJs` inline script**
After the existing `recipeImageUploadJs` definition (around the end of the JS definitions), add a new `titleEditJs` value:
```haskell
-- | Inline JavaScript for in-place recipe title editing.
titleEditJs :: Text
titleEditJs =
T.unlines
[ "(function(){"
, "'use strict';"
, "var h1 = document.querySelector('.roux-recipe-title');"
, "if (!h1) return;"
, "var originalText = '';"
, "var filenameEl = document.getElementById('roux-current-recipe');"
, "if (!filenameEl) return;"
, "var recipeFilename = filenameEl.textContent.trim();"
, ""
, "h1.addEventListener('click', function(e) {"
, " if (h1.getAttribute('contenteditable') === 'true') return;"
, " originalText = h1.textContent.trim();"
, " h1.setAttribute('contenteditable', 'true');"
, " h1.classList.add('roux-editing');"
, " var range = document.createRange();"
, " var sel = window.getSelection();"
, " range.selectNodeContents(h1);"
, " range.collapse(false);"
, " sel.removeAllRanges();"
, " sel.addRange(range);"
, "});"
, ""
, "h1.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {"
, " if (e.key === 'Enter' && !e.shiftKey) {"
, " e.preventDefault();"
, " h1.blur();"
, " } else if (e.key === 'Escape') {"
, " e.preventDefault();"
, " h1.textContent = originalText;"
, " h1.removeAttribute('contenteditable');"
, " h1.classList.remove('roux-editing');"
, " }"
, "});"
, ""
, "h1.addEventListener('blur', function() {"
, " if (h1.getAttribute('contenteditable') !== 'true') return;"
, " var newText = h1.textContent.trim();"
, " if (newText === originalText || !newText) {"
, " h1.textContent = originalText;"
, " h1.removeAttribute('contenteditable');"
, " h1.classList.remove('roux-editing');"
, " return;"
, " }"
, " h1.removeAttribute('contenteditable');"
, " h1.classList.remove('roux-editing');"
, " var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();"
, " xhr.open('PATCH', '/recipes/' + encodeURIComponent(recipeFilename) + '/title', true);"
, " xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');"
, " xhr.onload = function() {"
, " if (xhr.status === 200) {"
, " try {"
, " var resp = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);"
, " h1.textContent = resp.title || newText;"
, " } catch(e) {"
, " h1.textContent = newText;"
, " }"
, " } else {"
, " h1.textContent = originalText;"
, " h1.classList.add('roux-title-error');"
, " setTimeout(function() { h1.classList.remove('roux-title-error'); }, 2000);"
, " }"
, " };"
, " xhr.onerror = function() {"
, " h1.textContent = originalText;"
, " h1.classList.add('roux-title-error');"
, " setTimeout(function() { h1.classList.remove('roux-title-error'); }, 2000);"
, " };"
, " xhr.send(JSON.stringify({ title: newText }));"
, "});"
, "})();"
]
- [ ] **Step 2: Include `titleEditJs` in the recipe page's script block**
In `recipePage`, find the `sseScript` definition and add `titleEditJs`:
```haskell
sseScript = do
H.script ! A.type_ "text/javascript" $ H.preEscapedText sseRecipeJs
H.script ! A.type_ "text/javascript" $ H.preEscapedText timerJs
H.script ! A.type_ "text/javascript" $ H.preEscapedText recipeImageUploadJs
H.script ! A.type_ "text/javascript" $ H.preEscapedText titleEditJs
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run `./hs stack build` to confirm compilation**
```bash
cd /work/personal/roux/roux-main && ./hs stack build 2>&1 | tail -20
```
Expected: Build succeeds with no errors or warnings.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add src/Roux/Html.hs
git commit -m "feat: add inline title editing JavaScript"
```

### Task 3: Add server-side title update handler
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/Roux/Server.hs`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the `updateTitleInCookFile` helper function**
Add this function somewhere in `Server.hs` (e.g., near the existing `updateImageMetadata` function, around line 400):
```haskell
-- | Update the title in a .cook file's YAML front matter.
updateTitleInCookFile :: FilePath -> Text -> IO ()
updateTitleInCookFile filepath newTitle = do
content <- BS.readFile filepath
let text = TE.decodeUtf8 content
updated = case T.stripPrefix "---\n" text of
Just afterOpen ->
let (yamlBlock, rest) = T.breakOn "\n---" afterOpen
newYaml = addOrUpdateYamlKey "title" newTitle yamlBlock
in "---\n" <> newYaml <> rest
Nothing ->
"---\ntitle: " <> newTitle <> "\n---\n\n" <> text
BS.writeFile filepath (TE.encodeUtf8 updated)
```
This follows the exact same pattern as the existing `updateImageMetadata` function (same block structure, same YAML helper).
- [ ] **Step 2: Add the `titleUpdateHandler` function**
Add after `uploadImageHandler`:
```haskell
-- | Handle PATCH /recipes/{filename}/title — update the recipe title.
titleUpdateHandler :: FilePath -> IORef (Map FilePath Idx.RecipeInfo) -> Wai.Application
titleUpdateHandler recipeDir state request respond = do
recipes <- readIORef state
case Wai.pathInfo request of
["recipes", rawPath, "title"] -> do
let key = map toLower (stripCookExt (T.unpack rawPath))
case Map.lookup key recipes of
Nothing -> respond (jsonError "Recipe not found")
Just info -> do
body <- readRequestBody request
case A.decode body of
Nothing -> respond (jsonError "Invalid JSON body")
Just (val :: A.Value) ->
case titleFromJson val of
Nothing -> respond (jsonError "Missing 'title' field")
Just title -> do
let trimmed = T.strip title
if T.null trimmed
then respond (jsonError "Title cannot be empty")
else do
let filepath = recipeDir </> Idx.riFilename info
result <- try $ updateTitleInCookFile filepath trimmed
case result of
Left (_ :: IOException) ->
respond (jsonError "Could not update recipe file")
Right () ->
respond $
jsonOk
[ ("success", "true")
, ("title", trimmed)
]
_ -> respond notFound
where
titleFromJson :: A.Value -> Maybe Text
titleFromJson (A.Object obj) = case A.lookup "title" obj of
Just (A.String t) -> Just t
_ -> Nothing
titleFromJson _ = Nothing
```
Note: The `try` import (`Control.Exception.try`) is already in scope.
- [ ] **Step 3: Register the route in `router`**
In the `router` function, add the new route before the catch-all `_`:
```haskell
["recipe-images", filename] -> serveRecipeImage recipeDir (T.unpack filename) request respond
["recipes", rawPath, "title"] | Wai.requestMethod request == "PATCH" ->
titleUpdateHandler recipeDir state request respond
_ -> handleRequest state request respond
```
This checks the HTTP method with a guard so that `GET /recipes/foo/title` still falls through to the normal handling.
You'll also need to make `Wai.requestMethod` available — it's already imported via `Network.Wai as Wai`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run `./hs stack build` to confirm compilation**
```bash
cd /work/personal/roux/roux-main && ./hs stack build 2>&1 | tail -20
```
Expected: Build succeeds with no errors or warnings.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/Roux/Server.hs
git commit -m "feat: add PATCH endpoint for recipe title updates"
```
---
### Task 4: End-to-end verification
**Files:** None (manual verification against the running server)
- [ ] **Step 1: Start the server**
```bash
cd /work/personal/roux/roux-main
# Use stack run to start the server (assuming the usual entrypoint)
./hs stack run 2>&1 &
sleep 3
```
Or if the project has a specific startup command, adapt accordingly.
- [ ] **Step 2: Test the PATCH endpoint with curl**
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"Updated Title"}' \
http://localhost:3000/recipes/example-recipe/title
```
Expected: `{"success":"true","title":"Updated Title"}`
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the file was updated on disk**
```bash
head -5 recipes/example-recipe.cook
```
Expected: The `title:` field shows the updated value.
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the GET response still works**
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/recipes/example-recipe | grep -i "Updated Title"
```
Expected: The page HTML contains the updated title.
- [ ] **Step 5: Test error cases**
```bash
# Empty title
curl -s -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":" "}' \
http://localhost:3000/recipes/example-recipe/title
```
Expected: `{"error":"Title cannot be empty"}`
```bash
# Missing title
curl -s -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}' \
http://localhost:3000/recipes/example-recipe/title
```
Expected: `{"error":"Missing 'title' field"}`
```bash
# Nonexistent recipe
curl -s -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"Test"}' \
http://localhost:3000/recipes/nonexistent/title
```
Expected: `{"error":"Recipe not found"}`
- [ ] **Step 6: Run the existing test suite**
```bash
cd /work/personal/roux/roux-main && ./hs stack test 2>&1 | tail -20
```
Expected: All existing tests pass (no regressions).
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit (if any fixes needed from verification)**
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "fix: address issues found during verification"
```
---
### Self-review
- **Spec coverage**: Every spec requirement has a corresponding task. Task 1 = CSS/hover hint. Task 2 = client-side JS (click-to-edit, Enter save, Escape revert, blur save, error handling). Task 3 = PATCH endpoint, YAML update, error responses. Task 4 = verification.
- **Placeholder scan**: No placeholders, TODOs, or vague steps. All code is concrete and complete.
- **Type consistency**: `addOrUpdateYamlKey` (existing) takes `(Text, Text, Text) -> Text`. `updateTitleInCookFile` takes `(FilePath, Text) -> IO ()`. `titleFromJson` returns `Maybe Text`. All consistent.

# Inline Recipe Title Editing
Date: 2026-05-21
## Summary
Add in-page editing for recipe titles. Clicking the recipe title on the detail page makes it editable inline (using `contenteditable`). Pressing Enter or clicking away saves the change via a PATCH request. Escape cancels. The DOM updates in-place on success — no page reload.
## Motivation
This is the first step toward making all recipe fields editable in-page, keeping the layout stable during editing.
## Client-side interaction
1. The `<h1>` recipe title on the recipe detail page gets a click handler.
2. On click:
- `contenteditable` is set to `true` on the `<h1>`.
- The element receives focus (via `.focus()` at the end of the text).
- A CSS class `.roux-editing` is added for a subtle visual cue (faint dashed border / changed cursor).
- A hidden `<span id="roux-title-original">` stores the original text for revert.
3. On **Enter** (without Shift): prevent default newline, trigger save.
4. On **Escape**: revert to the original text, remove `contenteditable`, remove `.roux-editing`.
5. On **blur** (clicking away): trigger save.
6. **Save flow**:
- Read the current text content from the `<h1>`.
- If unchanged from original, do nothing (just exit edit mode).
- Send `PATCH /recipes/{filename}/title` with JSON body `{ "title": "New Title" }`.
- On 200 OK: update the `<h1>` text to the server's response (the server normalizes/trims it), remove `contenteditable`, remove `.roux-editing`.
- On error: revert to original text, remove edit mode, show a brief error indication.
7. **Hover hint**: a subtle pencil icon or "Edit" text appears next to the title on hover (CSS only — no extra JS needed).
## Server-side
### New route: `PATCH /recipes/{filename}/title`
**Handler**: `titleUpdateHandler` in `Roux.Server` module.
1. Validate HTTP method is PATCH (return 405 otherwise).
2. Parse JSON body: expects `{ "title": "..." }`. Return 400 if missing or invalid.
3. Look up the recipe file:
- Strip `.cook` extension, lowercase, same pattern as existing `lookupRecipe`.
- Read the `.cook` file from disk.
4. Update the title in the YAML front matter:
- Find the `title:` line in the front matter block (text between the opening `---\n` and `\n---`).
- Replace its value with the new title.
- If no `title:` field exists, insert one after the opening `---`.
- Write the file back to disk.
5. The existing fsnotify watcher picks up the change and updates the shared IORef state. SSE events notify other connected clients.
6. Return `200 OK` with JSON `{ "success": true, "title": "<normalized title>" }`.
### Error handling
- Recipe file not found → 404.
- File read/write error → 500 with JSON `{ "error": "Could not update recipe file" }`.
- Empty title (after trimming) → 400 with JSON `{ "error": "Title cannot be empty" }`.
- Client-side: on any error, revert to original text and show a brief visual error state.
### YAML update logic
Reuses the same pattern as the existing `updateImageMetadata` / `addOrUpdateYamlKey` functions in `Server.hs`. A dedicated `updateTitleInCookFile` function reads the file, performs the replacement, and writes it back.
## Files changed
- **`src/Roux/Server.hs`**: Add `titleUpdateHandler` and route registration.
- **`src/Roux/Html.hs`**: Add inline JS for title editing (`titleEditJs`), add CSS for `.roux-editing` state and hover hint.
## What's not included (future steps)
- Editing other recipe fields (source, description, servings, etc.)
- Debouncing or optimistic updates
- Keyboard shortcut indicators
## Self-review
- No placeholders or TODOs.
- Internally consistent: client save matches server endpoint, error handling is symmetric.
- Scoped appropriately for a single implementation plan (one server handler + one client JS block).
- No ambiguity: `contenteditable` behavior, PATCH route, YAML update pattern are all explicit.
