CCLI SongSelect Import — Learnings

[2026-05-10] Session Start

Architecture Decisions

• Manual paste + bookmarklet approach (NO server-side scraping — Cloudflare/ToS blocker)
• CcliPasteParser is closure-injectable (mirrors ChurchToolsService pattern for testability)
• All songs upserted via CcliImportService mirroring ProImportService::import() shape
• Translation stored inline on SongSlide.text_content_translated (no separate model)
• default_translation_language = APP-GLOBAL Setting (not per-user)

Key Codebase Facts

• Song.ccli_id is UNIQUE indexed nullable — primary CCLI match key
• SongSlide: text_content (original), text_content_translated (translation)
• Labels are GLOBAL (shared across all songs) — labels table with name + color
• ProImportService::import() is the template for upsert (not upsertSong — that method doesn't exist)
• SettingsController::AGENDA_KEYS constant whitelist for Settings KV
• TranslationService::importFromText distributes lines preserving local slide line counts
• ArrangementDialog.vue lines 488-532 = searchable song select (where CCLI buttons go)

CCLI SongSelect "View Lyrics" Page Format

• Title on first non-empty line
• Section label as standalone line (e.g., "Verse 1", "Chorus")
• Lyrics lines under each section
• Footer: copyright (©), CCLI number (e.g., "CCLI # 1234567"), author

Section Label Regex (English + German + variants)

/^(Verse|Chorus|Bridge|Pre-Chorus|Tag|Ending|Intro|Interlude|Outro|Misc|Strophe|Refrain|Brücke|Vorrefrain|Schluss|Zwischenspiel)\s*(\d+[a-z]?)?(\s*\((?:Repeat|Wdh\.?)\))?(\s*[xX]\s*\d+)?$/i

Language Mapping (EN ↔ DE)

• Verse ↔ Strophe
• Chorus ↔ Refrain
• Bridge ↔ Brücke
• Pre-Chorus ↔ Vorrefrain
• Ending ↔ Schluss
• Interlude ↔ Zwischenspiel

Test Fixture Format

Fixtures are synthetic CCLI-format text files. Format:

Test Song Title
Test Artist

Verse 1
Line 1 of verse
Line 2 of verse

Chorus
Chorus line 1
Chorus line 2

CCLI # 9999001

Fixture Corpus Notes

• Keep fixture titles/artists anonymized and numeric (Test Song N, Test Artist N)
• Include both English and German section labels in the corpus so parser regex coverage stays broad
• Add edge cases for missing footer pieces, whitespace, repeat markers, and suffix labels (2a, x2, (Repeat))

2026-05-10 CCLI Label Utility Notes

• CcliLabels works best with a fixed kind list in regexes; no locale config needed for EN/DE normalization.
• normalizeLabelName() should map only known German kinds and preserve any numeric suffix.
• parseLabel() can stay lightweight by returning null for non-labels and a small array for matched labels.

2026-05-10 Song CCLI Metadata Migration

• Song CCLI metadata belongs on songs as nullable fields: imported_from_ccli_at (timestamp) + ccli_source_url (string 500).
• Factory state helpers can stay tiny; fromCcli() just seeds timestamp + SongSelect URL.
• Inference/LSP can lag after edits; a tiny no-op signature change (fn (): array => [...]) forced the factory diagnostics to refresh cleanly.

2026-05-10 Settings Language Seed

• SettingsController::AGENDA_KEYS drives both the index props and the allowed key values for PATCH updates.
• default_translation_language should be validated as a whitelist value (DE|EN|FR|ES|NL|IT) only when that setting is being updated.
• CcliSettingsSeeder must use Setting::firstOrCreate() so reseeding does not overwrite a user-changed language.

2026-05-10 CcliPasteParser Scaffold

• Mirror ChurchToolsService with nullable Closure constructor injections and default = null values.
• This codebase uses App\Services\DTO\... namespaces/directories for DTOs, so keep the uppercase DTO path aligned with existing services.
• Scaffold tests can verify Laravel container resolution without adding any service provider binding.

2026-05-10 CcliPasteParser Implementation

• Parser trims pasted lines, treats blank lines as separators, extracts first two header lines as title/author, and excludes CCLI metadata from lyric sections.
• EN/DE side-by-side imports merge only adjacent labels with different raw kinds but the same CcliLabels::normalizeLabelName() canonical kind/number, preserving German lyrics in linesTranslated.
• DDEV/Linux path is tests/fixtures/ccli (lowercase); macOS accepted tests/Fixtures/ccli, but tests must use lowercase for container portability.

2026-05-10 CCLI Parser Review Fixes

• CCLI SongSelect metadata can appear as CCLI Song #, CCLI-Nr. or CCLI-Liednummer; extraction must ignore CCLI License/Lizenz numbers.
• Parsed section kind is canonicalized via CcliLabels::normalizeLabelName(), while the original pasted label remains available in label; translation pairing still compares raw label kinds internally.
