Database Documentation

Overview

Changemaker Lite V2 uses a dual ORM architecture with PostgreSQL 16 as the backing database:

• Prisma ORM (Express API, port 4000) — 30 models for auth, influence, map, canvassing, email templates, landing pages, and tracking
• Drizzle ORM (Fastify Media API, port 4100) — 3 models for video library, compilations, and job queue

Both ORMs share the same PostgreSQL database but maintain separate schemas and migration workflows.

Database Architecture

Database: PostgreSQL 16 Connection: DATABASE_URL environment variable Total Models: 33 models organized into 9 groups Migration Tools: Prisma Migrate (main API), Drizzle Kit (media API)

Key Design Patterns

1. Audit Fields — Most models include:

   • createdAt / updatedAt timestamps
   • createdByUserId / updatedByUserId user references
   • Automatic tracking via Prisma middleware

2. Soft Deletes — Some models use status fields instead of hard deletes:

   • User: status (ACTIVE/INACTIVE/SUSPENDED/EXPIRED)
   • Campaign: status (DRAFT/ACTIVE/PAUSED/ARCHIVED)
   • Shift: status (OPEN/FULL/CANCELLED)

3. JSON Fields — Used for flexible schema:

   • permissions (User) — granular per-app permissions
   • offices (Representative) — array of office contact info
   • tags (videos) — array of tag strings
   • geojson (Cut) — GeoJSON polygon coordinates
   • blocks (LandingPage) — GrapesJS editor output

4. Enums — 18 enums for type safety:

   • UserRole, UserStatus, CampaignStatus, GovernmentLevel, EmailMethod, ResponseType, ResponseStatus, SupportLevel, GeocodeProvider, BuildingType, LocationHistoryAction, ShiftStatus, SignupStatus, SignupSource, CutCategory, VisitOutcome, CanvassSessionStatus, TrackPointEvent, EmailTemplateCategory, EditorMode, MkdocsExportMode

5. Cascade Deletes — Foreign keys with onDelete: Cascade:

   • Deleting a Campaign deletes all CampaignEmail, RepresentativeResponse, CustomRecipient, Call records
   • Deleting a Location deletes all Address and LocationHistory records
   • Deleting a Shift deletes all ShiftSignup records
   • Deleting a CanvassSession deletes all CanvassVisit records

6. Indexes — Strategic indexing for performance:

   • All foreign keys indexed (userId, campaignId, locationId, etc.)
   • Composite indexes for common queries (latitude+longitude, locationId+unitNumber, etc.)
   • Unique constraints (email, slug, postalCode, token, etc.)

Model Groups

The database is organized into 9 logical groups:

1. Auth & Users

• User — User accounts with roles (SUPER_ADMIN, INFLUENCE_ADMIN, MAP_ADMIN, USER, TEMP)
• RefreshToken — JWT refresh token storage with rotation

Key Features: bcrypt passwords (12+ chars policy), role-based access control, temp user expiration, email verification

2. Influence

• Campaign — Advocacy campaigns with 12 feature flags
• Representative — Cached representative data from Represent API
• CampaignEmail — Email tracking (SMTP vs MAILTO)
• RepresentativeResponse — Response wall with moderation
• ResponseUpvote — Upvote tracking with IP + user uniqueness
• CustomRecipient — Custom email targets
• PostalCodeCache — Postal code geocoding cache
• EmailLog — Email audit trail
• EmailVerification — Verification token storage
• Call — Phone call tracking

Key Features: Multi-government-level targeting, response moderation workflow (PENDING → APPROVED/REJECTED), BullMQ integration for email queue, upvote deduplication

3. Map — Locations

• Location — Building-level data with lat/lng, NAR integration
• Address — Unit-level data with support levels
• LocationHistory — Audit trail with 7 action types
• Shift — Volunteer shifts with cut relation
• ShiftSignup — Signup tracking
• Cut — GeoJSON polygon overlays
• MapSettings — Singleton for map center/zoom + walk sheet config

Key Features: Building vs unit architecture, multi-provider geocoding (6 providers), NAR 2025 import support, spatial indexing, GeoJSON storage

4. Canvassing

• CanvassSession — Session lifecycle (ACTIVE → COMPLETED/ABANDONED)
• CanvassVisit — Visit recording with 7 outcome types
• TrackingSession — GPS tracking integration
• TrackPoint — GPS breadcrumb trail

Key Features: Walking route algorithm, session abandonment logic (12h timeout), distance calculation, support level tracking

5. Email Templates

• EmailTemplate — Template master with categories
• EmailTemplateVariable — Variable definitions with validation
• EmailTemplateVersion — Version history
• EmailTemplateTestLog — Test email audit

Key Features: Handlebars-style variable interpolation ({{VAR}}), conditional variables, system template protection, version auto-increment

6. Landing Pages

• LandingPage — GrapesJS editor output with MkDocs export
• PageBlock — Reusable block library

Key Features: GrapesJS JSON storage, MkDocs export modes (THEMED vs STANDALONE), SEO metadata, slug-based routing

7. Settings

• SiteSettings — Org branding + theme + SMTP + feature toggles
• MapSettings — Map center/zoom + walk sheet config

Key Features: Singleton pattern, SMTP override hierarchy (SiteSettings → .env), feature flags

8. Media (Drizzle ORM)

Index Strategy Overview

Foreign Key Indexes

All foreign key fields are indexed for join performance:

• userId, campaignId, locationId, addressId, shiftId, cutId, sessionId, templateId, trackingSessionId

Composite Indexes

Strategic multi-column indexes for common query patterns:

• [latitude, longitude] (Location) — spatial queries
• [locationId, unitNumber] (Address) — unit lookups
• [campaignId, status] (RepresentativeResponse) — filtered response lists
• [isActive, lastRecordedAt] (TrackingSession) — active session cleanup
• [templateId, createdAt(sort: Desc)] (EmailTemplateVersion) — version history
• [directoryType, isValid, orientation] (videos) — media library filtering

Unique Constraints

Enforce data integrity:

• email (User)
• slug (Campaign, LandingPage)
• postalCode (PostalCodeCache)
• token (RefreshToken, EmailVerification)
• key (EmailTemplate)
• [responseId, userId] (ResponseUpvote) — prevent duplicate upvotes from logged-in users
• [responseId, upvotedIp] (ResponseUpvote) — prevent duplicate upvotes from same IP
• [shiftId, userEmail] (ShiftSignup) — prevent duplicate shift signups
• [templateId, key] (EmailTemplateVariable) — unique variable keys per template
• [templateId, versionNumber] (EmailTemplateVersion) — sequential version numbers

Foreign Key Conventions

Cascade Deletes

onDelete: Cascade

Used when child records should be deleted with parent:

• RefreshToken → User
• CampaignEmail → Campaign
• RepresentativeResponse → Campaign
• CustomRecipient → Campaign
• Call → Campaign (SetNull)
• Address → Location
• LocationHistory → Location
• ShiftSignup → Shift
• CanvassVisit → Address, CanvassSession
• TrackPoint → TrackingSession
• EmailTemplateVariable → EmailTemplate
• EmailTemplateVersion → EmailTemplate
• EmailTemplateTestLog → EmailTemplate

Set Null

onDelete: SetNull

Used when child records should remain but orphan the reference:

• Campaign.createdByUserId → User
• CampaignEmail.userId → User
• RepresentativeResponse.submittedByUserId → User
• Location.createdByUserId/updatedByUserId → User
• Shift.cutId → Cut
• CanvassSession.shiftId → Shift
• TrackingSession.canvassSessionId → CanvassSession
