Adds a Bulk add box to /admin (collapsed by default). You paste a Markdown table or CSV and see a preview with a status for every row. Then you create the rows marked new. Existing slugs are never overwritten.

How the format is chosen (fixed rule, no guessing)

  1. Markdown if the first line starts with |, or if it contains | and the next line is a GFM delimiter row (---|---).
  2. Otherwise TSV if the first line contains a tab. This covers pastes from Google Sheets or Excel.
  3. Otherwise CSV. Quoted fields are supported ("one, two", "").

The preview page shows which format it detected ("Read as Markdown table").

Columns

  • If there's a header row, columns are matched by name: short/slug → slug, target/url/link → URL, note → notes. Order doesn't matter.
  • Without a header, columns are read as slug, URL, notes. A row with a single cell is a bare URL and gets a random slug.
  • Cells are cleaned up before use:
    • t.string.sg/foo, https://t.string.sg/foo/ and /foo all become slug foo.
    • <url>, [text](url) and `code` wrappers are removed.
  • A row whose slug cell is written as ~strikethrough~ is skipped. That's how salistoyshop was marked in the original table.

Row statuses

Each row is one of: new, already exists, repeated above, invalid slug, invalid URL, struck out. Only rows marked new are created.

Flow

  1. Preview: POST /admin/bulk shows the statuses and doesn't write anything. The pasted text stays in an editable box so you can fix rows and preview again.
  2. Create: POST /api/links/bulk parses the same text again and creates the new rows in one batch with INSERT … ON CONFLICT(slug) DO NOTHING. It then redirects to /admin?bulk=N&skipped=M.
  3. Limits: a paste can have at most 500 rows, and both routes require login like the rest of /admin.

Files

  • src/bulk.ts: format detection, parsing and row statuses. Pure functions with no I/O.
  • src/db.ts: existingSlugs() (queries in chunks of 100 bound parameters, D1's limit) and createLinks() (batch insert).
  • src/slugs.ts: validTargetUrl moved here from api.ts so the bulk parser can use it. No change in behaviour.
  • src/admin/pages.ts and src/admin/layout.ts: the paste box, preview page, success message and styles.

Testing

  • npm run typecheck passes.
  • npm test: all 80 tests pass, including new ones in test/bulk.test.ts. The main fixture is the original chat table, verbatim.
  • End to end on wrangler dev with a local D1:
    • The preview flagged an existing slug, a slug repeated within the paste, and a struck-out row.
    • "Create 2 links" created exactly those 2, and /bulk-one redirected to its new target.
    • A CSV of bare URLs got random slugs.
    • A request without a login cookie got a 401.
  • Screenshots at 390px and 1100px wide: no horizontal page scroll.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added bulk link creation from Markdown tables, CSV, or TSV, with automatic format detection and a preview of each row’s status.
    • Create links only for new slugs; existing links remain unchanged. Struck-through rows are skipped.
    • Added a confirmation showing how many links were created and how many rows were skipped.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the dashboard guide with bulk link creation instructions.

Format is chosen by a fixed rule: Markdown if the first line starts with
'|' or is a pipe header followed by a GFM delimiter row; otherwise TSV if
the first line has a tab, else CSV. Columns map by header name, or are
read as slug, url, notes. Struck-out (~slug~) rows are skipped and
existing slugs are never overwritten.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The admin dashboard now accepts Markdown tables and CSV/TSV input for bulk link creation. It previews row statuses and creates new links without overwriting existing slugs.

Changes

Bulk Link Import

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse and plan bulk rows
src/bulk.ts, src/slugs.ts, test/bulk.test.ts
Detects and parses Markdown, CSV, and TSV input. Plans row statuses using URL and slug validation. Tests cover formats, parse errors, and planning statuses.
Preview bulk rows in the admin
src/admin/pages.ts, src/db.ts, src/admin/layout.ts, README.md
Adds an admin preview with row details and create or skip counts. Looks up existing slugs. Documents the input formats and adds interface styles.
Create new links from submitted rows
src/api.ts, src/db.ts
Adds POST /links/bulk and database insertion for new rows. Existing slug conflicts are skipped rather than overwritten.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 82db3

Bulk add can create links that differ from what the preview showed. This happens when the pasted text is edited after Preview, or when a CSV note spans multiple lines. Existing links are never overwritten. Address both issues before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 82db3

Bulk creation remains password-protected and cannot overwrite existing slugs. The main remaining risks concern processing oversized pastes and safely retrying imports with generated slugs. These are limited by the existing administrator boundary, but deployment-level resource and interruption guarantees are not established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The new bulk routes materialize the request body and split all rows and cells before enforcing the 500-row limit. This adds authenticated parsing and allocation amplification beyond the existing single-link path: an oversized paste can consume substantial request resources before rejection. Authentication limits reachability to administrators; platform limits and broader availability impact are not established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new write amplification is confined to authenticated administrators and the existing global link store. One accepted submission can create up to 500 active links consumed by public redirects. No new tenant-crossing authority, secret binding, or separate data store is evidenced.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller with administrator credentials can submit oversized bulk text that reaches full-body parsing and cell allocation before row-limit rejection. This supports a bounded resource-containment concern, not a verified unauthenticated attack or proven service-wide outage; external limits remain unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Authentication middleware precedes both router mounts and verifies the signed session cookie before allowing access. Unauthenticated API requests receive 401 responses. Session cookies use Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite=Lax attributes.
  • observed — Bulk fields pass through shared URL and slug validation and bound SQL parameters. Preview text, slugs, URLs, and notes use Hono HTML interpolation rather than raw HTML insertion; escaping depends on the external template helper.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The preview creates no persistent reservation, and creation recomputes eligibility against current state. Slug conflicts terminate as skipped rows without overwriting the winner. Successful responses count actual inserts, not merely preview eligibility.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Enforce a request-byte limit before body materialization, and bound cell size and parsing work before constructing the complete table. Confirm the effective deployment limits for both bulk routes.
  • proposed — If bulk imports must support safe retries after a lost response, bind generated slugs to a durable import identity and define recovery behavior. Otherwise, explicitly document that resubmitting blank-slug rows can create additional links.
