Admin Dashboard

The admin dashboard at /admin lets you manage the wine answers collection — the curated reference data that powers the combobox inputs in the tasting creation form.

Access

Navigate to http://localhost:4321/admin (local dev or Docker) or your deployed URL + /admin.

Authentication

The dashboard is protected by a shared secret (ADMIN_SECRET). Enter the secret to log in. The secret is stored in sessionStorage and cleared when the tab closes.

• Local dev / Docker: dev-secret-123 (set in wine-answers-worker/.dev.vars and docker-compose.yml)
• Production: set via the ADMIN_SECRET environment variable on the Wine Answers Worker

If the secret is invalid or expires, write operations return 401 and the dashboard redirects back to the login screen.

Managing answers

Viewing categories

After login you see five category tabs in a sidebar: Color, Region, Grape Variety, Vintage Year, Wine Name. Click a tab to see all answers in that category, along with a count badge.

Adding an answer

Type a new value in the input field at the bottom of the category panel and click Add. The value is appended to the category and the list refreshes automatically. Duplicates are rejected by the worker.

Deleting an answer

Hover over any answer to reveal the delete button (🗑️). Click it to remove the value from the category. The list refreshes automatically after deletion.

How it works

The admin dashboard is a React island (AdminApp) hydrated on a static Astro page. It communicates directly with the Wine Answers Worker via REST API:

Method	Endpoint	Auth required	Description
GET	/answers	No	Fetch all categories and their values
POST	/answers/:category	Yes	Add a value to a category
DELETE	/answers/:category/:value	Yes	Remove a value from a category

Write operations require the Authorization: Bearer <secret> header. Read operations are public.
