Route

/dashboard/create/[type] — dynamic: text, image, video, threads, collection

Renders the correct post-creation form (TextPostForm, ImagePostForm, VideoPostForm, ThreadsPostForm, CollectionPostForm) for the given type. Loads the user's connected accounts (filtered by content-type platforms and active/token health), user settings (date/time format, timezone), and plan limits (resurface, auto-plug). Supports draft prefill (?draft=id), scheduled edit (?scheduled=id), and edit-and-repost (?edit=id).

Access

Auth required: yes
Plan required: any (limits like resurface/auto-plug are feature-flagged by plan)
Who sees this: authenticated users; invalid type → 404 notFound()

Data Flow

What it fetches

Session — auth.api.getSession({ headers }); no session → redirect("/").
Content type — getContentTypeBySlug(typeSlug) from @/lib/content-types; undefined → notFound().
Accounts — db.query.connectedAccounts.findMany for session.user.id, columns: id, platform, platformUsername, profileImageUrl, isActive, tokenExpiresAt, tokenStatus, platformMetadata, isTwitterPremium. Filtered to isActive !== false and platform in contentType.platforms. Sorted by PLATFORMS order. Each account gets tokenExpired from token health (NEVER_EXPIRES_PLATFORMS and skipExpiryDisplay for youtube/tiktok).
User settings — db.query.userSettings.findFirst for userId: use24HourTimeFormat, dateFormat, timezone, subscriptionTier, subscriptionExpiresAt. DateFormat validated (dd/MM/yyyy, MM/dd/yyyy, yyyy-MM-dd); timezone default "UTC". Effective tier: if subscriptionExpiresAt past → "free"; else starter/growth/pro or "free".
Plan limits — getPlanLimits(effectiveTier) for allowResurface, allowAutoPlug; passed to form as allowAutoRepost, allowAutoPlug.

What it mutates

Nothing in the page component. Forms submit via server actions (save draft, schedule, publish, etc.).

Components Used

TextPostForm — type === "text"
ImagePostForm — type === "image"
VideoPostForm — type === "video"
ThreadsPostForm — type === "threads"
CollectionPostForm — type === "collection"

Each form receives: accounts (filtered), use24HourTimeFormat, dateFormat, timezone, draftId, scheduledId, editId, allowAutoRepost, allowAutoPlug, supportedPlatforms.

State

Server-only in the page. Form state lives inside each form component.

Key Business Logic

Slug → form: FORM_MAP[contentType.slug] (text, image, video, threads, collection). Slug comes from URL param type.
Search params: draft, scheduled, edit — each can be string or single-element array; normalized to a single id string or undefined.
Token expiry: YouTube and TikTok skip expiry display; other platforms use tokenStatus and tokenExpiresAt. NEVER_EXPIRES_PLATFORMS never show expired.

URL Params / Search Params

Dynamic: [type] — one of text, image, video, threads, collection. Else 404.
draft — post id to load as draft (prefill form).
scheduled — post id to edit as scheduled (reschedule/edit).
edit — post id to edit and repost (published/partial/failed).
fromComposer — set by composer; forms use it to consume composer payload.

Error States

Invalid type: notFound().
No session: redirect("/").

/dashboard/composer — often the entry with fromComposer=1
/dashboard/create — type selector
/dashboard/posts, /dashboard/posts/[id] — after save or cancel

TODO / Known Issues

eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/purity for const now = Date.now() in the page (used for token expiry display).
