Every date in TREK was written in the interface language's format, and English is en-US, so an English interface always showed and read mm/dd/yyyy with no way to change it. A few native date inputs followed the browser instead, so one screen could mix two formats. date_format is now a user setting with an admin default, next to the time format: automatic (the language's format, as before), YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY/MM/DD, DD.MM.YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. The date picker shows, pre-fills, hints and reads typed dates in it, and every date written in numbers across the app (lists, cards, admin panels, CSV and PDF exports) goes through one formatter. Dates written with a month name keep the language's wording. The remaining native date inputs are the shared picker now. The display settings MCP tool reads and writes the key. Closes #2971
@trek/shared
Single source of truth for TREK's API contracts, expressed as Zod schemas and consumed by both the server (request validation + inferred DTO types) and the client (typed requests/responses).
This package is part of the incremental NestJS + React 19 migration (see the "Brownfield Rewrite" board). It is intentionally dormant until modules start importing it — adding it changes nothing for users.
Rules
- One folder per domain:
src/<domain>/<domain>.schema.ts(+.spec.ts). - Domain-agnostic building blocks live in
src/common/. - A route is only considered migrated once its contract lives here.
- Schemas are the source of truth; server DTOs and client types are inferred from them
(
z.infer<typeof schema>), never hand-duplicated.
Consumption (dev)
Both apps resolve @trek/shared to this package's TypeScript source:
- Server (
tsx): viapathsinserver/tsconfig.json. - Client (
vite): viaresolve.aliasinclient/vite.config.ts(+pathsfor the type-checker).
Production packaging (Docker / workspace wiring) is introduced in card F2, when the server first depends on this package at runtime. Until then prod builds are untouched.
Not yet here
The canonical error envelope is finalised in card F5 (it must match TREK's current Express error responses byte-for-byte), so it is deliberately not invented in F1.
