districtId = null means whole-city
A service area is (cityId, districtId?). districtId = null is the affirmative claim "I cover this
entire city" — not missing data, not "no district".
The consequences reach three other domains:
- Search must match a whole-city area against a district-filtered query, in both directions. A query that drops nulls silently hides every whole-city nurse. See search.md.
is_searchablerequires at least one area covering the queried city — coverage is one of its four conditions. See search.md.- Geography owns the ids and the same null convention. See geography.md.
The client models this as a single control: the coverage editor offers "whole city" as a first-class
choice alongside individual districts, so a nurse can never accidentally express it as an empty district
list. Do not reintroduce a two-step "city, then optionally districts" flow — an empty selection is
ambiguous in a way null is not.
Shape rules the JSON does not express
- A duplicate area is a
409. Adding(city, null)when district rows for that city already exist — or the reverse — is a conflict the server resolves; the client surfaces it rather than pre-checking. - Removing the last area for a city removes the nurse from search in that city in the same
transaction, via
ISearchIndexMaintainer. There is no lag and no reconciliation job. - Coverage is independent of
isAcceptingBookings: a nurse can keep coverage while pausing bookings, and both are conditions ofis_searchable. listis paginated even though the practical row count is small — the platform paginates every unbounded list without exception.
Enums
None. Both fields are geography ids; districtId is nullable and the null is meaningful.
Open REQs
None. REQ-008/REQ-009 concern addresses, not coverage — see addresses.md.
