## 🚀 Server Startup Flow
### The Code (main.go:60-101)
```go
// Start server in goroutine
serverErrors := make(chan error, 1)
go func() {
log.Printf("✓ Server listening on http://%s:%s", cfg.Server.Host, cfg.Server.Port)
serverErrors <- server.ListenAndServe() // Blocks until server stops
}()
// Setup graceful shutdown
shutdown := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(shutdown, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
// Wait for shutdown signal or server error
select {
case err := <-serverErrors:
// Server stopped unexpectedly
if !errors.Is(err, http.ErrServerClosed) {
log.Fatalf("❌ Server error: %v", err)
}
case sig := <-shutdown:
// User pressed Ctrl+C or system sent SIGTERM
log.Printf("🛑 Shutdown signal received: %v", sig)
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()
if err := server.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
log.Printf("⚠️ Graceful shutdown failed, forcing: %v", err)
server.Close() // Force close if graceful fails
}
}
```
### Visual Flow
```
main() starts
├─→ Load config
├─→ Initialize templates
├─→ Create handlers
├─→ Setup routes
└─→ Create HTTP server
├─→ Create error channel (serverErrors)
├─→ Launch GOROUTINE ──────────────┐
│ │
│ (main thread continues) │ (goroutine: runs in parallel)
│ │
│ ├─→ Log startup messages
│ │
│ └─→ server.ListenAndServe()
│ (BLOCKS here, handling HTTP requests)
├─→ Create shutdown channel
├─→ Setup signal handler (Ctrl+C, SIGTERM)
└─→ SELECT statement (BLOCKS here)
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ │
├─→ Case 1: serverErrors │ Case 2: shutdown signal
│ (server crashed) │ (user pressed Ctrl+C)
│ → Log error │ → Initiate graceful shutdown
│ → Exit │ → Wait max 30s for requests to finish
│ │ → Force close if timeout
└───────────────────────────────┘
```

## 🤔 Why Start Server in a Goroutine?
### The Question
> "Why do we do `go func() { server.ListenAndServe() }()` instead of just `server.ListenAndServe()` directly?"
### The Answer: Blocking vs. Non-Blocking
#### Without Goroutine (WRONG):
```go
func main() {
server := &http.Server{Addr: ":1999"}
log.Println("Starting server...")
server.ListenAndServe() // ← BLOCKS HERE FOREVER
// This code NEVER runs!
setupGracefulShutdown() // ❌ Never reached
waitForSignals() // ❌ Never reached
}
```
**Problem**: `ListenAndServe()` **blocks** (waits forever) handling HTTP requests. The function never returns unless the server crashes. Any code after it is unreachable!
#### With Goroutine (CORRECT):
```go
func main() {
server := &http.Server{Addr: ":1999"}
// Launch server in separate goroutine
serverErrors := make(chan error, 1)
go func() {
log.Println("Starting server...")
serverErrors <- server.ListenAndServe() // Runs in parallel
}()
// Main thread continues immediately!
setupGracefulShutdown() // ✅ Runs
waitForSignals() // ✅ Runs
}
```
**Solution**: The goroutine runs **in parallel** with the main thread. The server handles requests in the goroutine while the main thread sets up shutdown logic.
### What is a Goroutine?
> **Goroutine** = Lightweight thread managed by Go runtime
```go
// Regular function call (synchronous)
doWork() // Wait for doWork to finish before continuing
// Goroutine (asynchronous)
go doWork() // Start doWork in parallel, continue immediately
```
**Key Characteristics**:
-**Lightweight**: ~2KB memory (OS threads: ~2MB)
- 🚀 **Fast**: Cheap to create, Go can run thousands simultaneously
- 🎯 **Scheduled by Go**: Runtime multiplexes goroutines onto OS threads
- 📡 **Communicate via channels**: Don't share memory, share by communicating
---
## 📡 Channel Communication
### What is a Channel?
> **Channel** = Typed conduit through which goroutines communicate
```go
// Create a channel of ints
messages := make(chan int)
// Send value to channel (blocks until someone receives)
messages <- 42
// Receive value from channel (blocks until someone sends)
value := <-messages
```
### Why Channels?
**Problem**: How does the main thread know when the server goroutine encounters an error?
**Solution**: Use a channel to communicate errors from goroutine → main thread
```go
// Main thread
serverErrors := make(chan error, 1) // Buffered channel (capacity 1)
// Goroutine (different thread)
go func() {
err := server.ListenAndServe()
serverErrors <- err // Send error to channel
}()
// Main thread
select {
case err := <-serverErrors: // Receive error from channel
log.Fatalf("Server failed: %v", err)
}
```
### Buffered vs. Unbuffered Channels
```go
// Unbuffered (capacity 0) - default
ch := make(chan int)
// Sender blocks until receiver is ready
// Receiver blocks until sender sends
// Buffered (capacity > 0)
ch := make(chan int, 1)
// Sender doesn't block if buffer has space
// Receiver blocks only if buffer is empty
```
**Why buffered for `serverErrors`?**
```go
serverErrors := make(chan error, 1) // Buffer size 1
```
If the server crashes **before** we reach the `select` statement, the error can be stored in the buffer. Without buffering, the send would block forever (deadlock).
---
## 🛑 Graceful Shutdown Pattern
### The Problem: Abrupt Shutdown
```go
// BAD: Immediate shutdown
func main() {
server.ListenAndServe()
// User presses Ctrl+C
// → Server IMMEDIATELY stops
// → Ongoing requests are KILLED mid-flight
// → Data loss, corrupted responses
}
```
**Consequences**:
- User uploading a file → Upload lost
- Database transaction → Data inconsistent
- API call → Client gets network error
### The Solution: Graceful Shutdown
```go
// GOOD: Graceful shutdown
server.Shutdown(ctx) // Waits for ongoing requests to finish
```
**Process**:
1. Stop accepting new requests
2. Wait for ongoing requests to complete
3. Close idle connections
4. Shut down cleanly
### The Code Breakdown
#### Step 1: Setup Signal Handler
```go
shutdown := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(shutdown, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
```
**What this does**:
- Creates a channel to receive OS signals
- Tells Go: "When user presses Ctrl+C (`SIGINT`) or system sends `SIGTERM`, send signal to this channel"
**Why `SIGTERM`?**
- Docker uses `SIGTERM` to stop containers
- Kubernetes uses `SIGTERM` before killing pods
- Systemd uses `SIGTERM` to stop services
#### Step 2: Wait for Signal
```go
select {
case err := <-serverErrors:
// Server crashed
case sig := <-shutdown:
// Shutdown requested
}
```
**`select` statement**: Waits for **whichever happens first**:
- Server crashes → handle error
- User presses Ctrl+C → initiate shutdown
#### Step 3: Graceful Shutdown with Timeout
```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()
if err := server.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
log.Printf("⚠️ Graceful shutdown failed, forcing: %v", err)
server.Close() // Force close
}
```
**What happens**:
1. Create context with 30-second timeout
2. Call `server.Shutdown(ctx)`:
- Stop accepting new connections
- Wait for active requests to finish (max 30s)
- Close idle connections
3. If timeout expires:
- Graceful shutdown fails
- Force close the server (kill all connections)
---
## 🕒 Context and Timeouts
### What is a Context?
> **Context** = Carries deadlines, cancellation signals, and request-scoped values across API boundaries
```go
// Create context with 5-second timeout
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel() // Always call cancel to release resources
// Use context in operation
err := longRunningOperation(ctx)
if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
log.Println("Operation timed out!")
}
```
### Why Context for Shutdown?
```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()
server.Shutdown(ctx)
```
**Benefits**:
1. **Prevents infinite waiting**: If requests don't finish in 30s, proceed anyway
2. **Resource cleanup**: `defer cancel()` ensures context resources are freed
3. **Cancellation propagation**: All handlers get notified to wrap up
### Context Hierarchy
```
context.Background() ← Root context
└─→ context.WithTimeout(30s) ← Child context
└─→ HTTP request handlers use this context
(when timeout expires, all get cancelled)
```
---
## 🎯 Why This Pattern?
### Comparison
| Approach | Pro | Con |
|----------|-----|-----|
| **No goroutine** | Simple | Can't handle shutdown, server blocks forever |
| **Goroutine without channels** | Server runs in background | Can't detect errors, no communication |
| **Our pattern** | Clean shutdown, error handling, production-ready | Slightly more complex |
### Real-World Scenarios
#### Scenario 1: Server Crash
```
1. Server goroutine encounters error (port already in use)
2. Error sent to serverErrors channel
3. Main thread receives error via select
4. Log error and exit gracefully
```
#### Scenario 2: Graceful Deployment (Kubernetes)
```
1. Kubernetes sends SIGTERM (wants to update pod)
2. Signal handler receives SIGTERM
3. Server stops accepting new requests
4. Waits up to 30s for active requests to finish
5. Closes cleanly
6. Kubernetes starts new pod
→ Zero downtime deployment! ✨
```
#### Scenario 3: Developer Stops Server (Ctrl+C)
```
1. Developer presses Ctrl+C (SIGINT)
2. Signal handler receives SIGINT
3. Ongoing PDF generation continues for up to 30s
4. Server shuts down cleanly
5. No corrupted files or broken requests
```
---
## 💼 Production Best Practices
### 1. **Always Use Timeouts**
```go
server := &http.Server{
Addr: ":1999",
Handler: handler,
ReadTimeout: 15 * time.Second, // Max time to read request
WriteTimeout: 15 * time.Second, // Max time to write response
IdleTimeout: 120 * time.Second, // Max time for keep-alive connections
}
```
**Why?**
- Prevents slow clients from tying up server resources
- Protects against slowloris attacks
- Ensures predictable performance
### 2. **Use Buffered Channels for Errors**
```go
serverErrors := make(chan error, 1) // Buffer size 1
```
**Why?**
- Prevents goroutine deadlock if error occurs before select
- Allows error to be queued even if no receiver yet
### 3. **Always `defer cancel()` with Contexts**
```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel() // ← CRITICAL: Release resources
```
**Why?**
- Prevents context leaks
- Frees timers and goroutines associated with context
- Go vet will warn if you forget
### 4. **Handle Both SIGINT and SIGTERM**
```go
signal.Notify(shutdown, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
```
**Why?**
- `SIGINT` (Ctrl+C): Developer stopping server locally
- `SIGTERM`: System/orchestrator (Docker, K8s) stopping server
- Ensures shutdown works in all environments
### 5. **Have a Force-Close Fallback**
```go
if err := server.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
log.Printf("⚠️ Graceful shutdown failed, forcing: %v", err)
server.Close() // ← Force close if graceful fails
}
```
**Why?**
- If requests don't finish in timeout, force close
- Prevents server hanging indefinitely
- Ensures server always stops eventually
---
## 🧪 Testing Shutdown Logic
### Manual Test
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start server
go run main.go
# Terminal 2: Send request that takes 5 seconds
curl "http://localhost:1999/slow-endpoint"
# Terminal 1: Press Ctrl+C while request is active
# → Server waits for request to finish (up to 30s)
# → Then shuts down cleanly
```
### Simulating SIGTERM (Production)
```bash
# Get process ID
ps aux | grep "go run main.go"
# Send SIGTERM (like Kubernetes would)
kill -TERM <PID>
# Server should shut down gracefully
```

## 📚 Key Concepts Summary
### Goroutines
- **Lightweight threads** managed by Go runtime
- Use `go func()` to run functions concurrently
- Cheap to create (2KB vs. 2MB for OS threads)
### Channels
- **Communication pipes** between goroutines
- Use `<-` to send/receive values
- Buffered channels can store values when no receiver ready
### Select
- **Multiplex** on multiple channel operations
- Blocks until one case can proceed
- Used to wait for first of multiple events
### Context
- **Carries deadlines** and cancellation signals
- Use `WithTimeout` to set operation deadlines
- Always `defer cancel()` to prevent leaks
### Graceful Shutdown
- **Stop accepting** new requests
- **Wait** for active requests to finish (with timeout)
- **Force close** if timeout expires

## 🎓 Interview Talking Points
### "Why do you use goroutines for the HTTP server?"
> "I use a goroutine to run `ListenAndServe()` because it's a blocking call—it runs forever handling requests. By launching it in a goroutine, the main thread remains free to set up graceful shutdown logic. This pattern allows me to handle OS signals like SIGTERM (from Kubernetes) and SIGINT (Ctrl+C) to shut down cleanly, ensuring ongoing requests finish before the server stops."
### "How do you handle server errors in a goroutine?"
> "I use a buffered channel (`make(chan error, 1)`) to communicate errors from the server goroutine back to the main thread. The goroutine sends any error from `ListenAndServe()` to this channel, and the main thread uses a `select` statement to wait for either an error or a shutdown signal, whichever comes first."
### "What is graceful shutdown and why is it important?"
> "Graceful shutdown means stopping the server without killing active requests. When I receive a shutdown signal, I call `server.Shutdown()` with a context that has a 30-second timeout. This stops accepting new connections but waits for ongoing requests to complete naturally. If the timeout expires, I force-close as a fallback. This prevents data loss and gives clients a clean response instead of a broken connection."
### "Why use context with timeout?"
> "Context with timeout ensures graceful shutdown doesn't wait forever. If some requests are hanging, the 30-second timeout ensures the server shuts down eventually. The context also propagates cancellation to all handlers, signaling them to wrap up. Without timeout, a misbehaving request could prevent the server from ever shutting down."

```
## Package Organization Principles
### 1. Use `internal/` for Private Code
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Private to this module
internal/handlers/cv.go
// ❌ BAD: Can be imported by other modules
handlers/cv.go
```
**Why**: `internal/` prevents external packages from importing your code, enforcing API boundaries.
### 2. Group by Feature, Not Layer
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Grouped by domain
internal/
handlers/
cv.go
cv_pages.go
cv_htmx.go
cv_pdf.go
cv_helpers.go
types.go
errors.go
// ❌ BAD: Grouped by type
internal/
controllers/
services/
repositories/
dtos/
```
**Why**: Feature-based organization makes code easier to navigate and refactor.
### 3. Separate Command from Library
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Separate main package
cmd/server/main.go # Entry point, wiring
internal/handlers/ # Business logic
// ❌ BAD: Everything in main package
main.go
handlers.go
middleware.go
```
**Why**: Keeps `main` package small and focused on wiring, makes code reusable and testable.
## File Naming Conventions
### 1. Descriptive, Lowercase, Underscore-Separated
```go
// ✅ GOOD
cv_pages.go
cv_htmx.go
cv_helpers.go
cv_pages_test.go
// ❌ BAD
cvPages.go // camelCase
cv-pages.go // hyphen (not idiomatic)
cvpages.go // too short, unclear
```
### 2. Test Files Mirror Source Files
```go
// Source files
cv_pages.go
cv_htmx.go
// Test files
cv_pages_test.go
cv_htmx_test.go
```
### 3. Group Related Functionality
```go
// Related to CV handler
cv.go // Constructor, shared state
cv_pages.go // Page handlers
cv_htmx.go // HTMX handlers
cv_pdf.go // PDF export
cv_helpers.go // Helper functions
// Shared types and errors
types.go // Request/response types
errors.go // Error handling
```
## Package Naming
### 1. Short, Concise, Lowercase
```go
// ✅ GOOD
package handlers
package middleware
package pdf
// ❌ BAD
package cvHandlers // Don't repeat package name
package cv_handlers // No underscore
package HTTPHandlers // No capitals
```
### 2. No `common`, `util`, `base`
```go
// ❌ BAD: Generic names
package util
package common
package helpers
// ✅ GOOD: Descriptive names
package validation
package templates
package pdf
```
### 3. Singular Names
```go
// ✅ GOOD
package handler // Even if multiple handlers
package model
// ❌ BAD
package handlers // Plural (exception: when package name would conflict)
package models
```
## Code Organization Within Files
### 1. Logical Ordering
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Logical flow
package handlers
// 1. Imports
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
// 2. Package-level constants/variables
const MaxRetries = 3
// 3. Types
type CVHandler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager
}
// 4. Constructor
func NewCVHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager) *CVHandler {
return &CVHandler{tmpl: tmpl}
}
// 5. Public methods (alphabetical or logical order)
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// ...
}
// 6. Private methods (alphabetical or logical order)
func (h *CVHandler) prepareTemplateData(lang string) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
// ...
}
// 7. Helper functions
func validateLanguage(lang string) error {
// ...
}
```
### 2. Group Related Code
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Related functions grouped
func (h *CVHandler) ToggleCVLength(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// ...
}
func (h *CVHandler) ToggleCVIcons(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// ...
}
func (h *CVHandler) ToggleCVTheme(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// ...
}
```
### 3. Separate Public and Private
```go
// Public API
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
func (h *CVHandler) CVContent(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
// Private helpers (lowercase)
func (h *CVHandler) prepareTemplateData(lang string)
func (h *CVHandler) handleError(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error)
```
## Import Organization
### 1. Group Imports
```go
import (
// 1. Standard library
"context"
"fmt"
"net/http"
// 2. External packages
"github.com/chromedp/chromedp"
// 3. Internal packages
"project/internal/middleware"
"project/internal/models/cv"
)
```
### 2. Use Blank Imports Sparingly
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Document why
import (
_ "github.com/lib/pq" // PostgreSQL driver
)
// ❌ BAD: No comment
import (
_ "github.com/lib/pq"
)
```
## Avoiding Circular Dependencies
### Problem
```go
// package a
import "project/internal/b"
// package b
import "project/internal/a"
// Compilation error: import cycle
```
### Solution 1: Extract Interface
```go
// package common
type ServiceA interface {
DoA()
}
// package a
import "project/internal/common"
func NewA(b common.ServiceB) *A {
// Use interface
}
// package b
// No import of package a
```
### Solution 2: Create Third Package
```go
// Before: a ↔ b (circular)
// After: a → shared ← b
//
// shared/ contains types used by both
```
## When to Split a File
### Signs a File is Too Large
1. **More than 500 lines**
2. **Multiple unrelated responsibilities**
3. **Difficult to navigate**
4. **Many scroll actions to find code**
### How to Split
```go
// Before: cv.go (1000+ lines)
// - Constructor
// - Page handlers
// - HTMX handlers
// - PDF handler
// - Helper functions
// After: Split by responsibility
cv.go // Constructor, shared state
cv_pages.go // Page handlers (Home, CVContent)
cv_htmx.go // HTMX handlers (4 toggles)
cv_pdf.go // PDF export
cv_helpers.go // Helper functions
```
## Documentation
### 1. Package Documentation
```go
// Package handlers provides HTTP request handlers for the CV website.
//
// Handlers are organized by resource:
// - CVHandler: CV page rendering and HTMX updates
// - HealthHandler: Health check endpoint
//
// All handlers follow the http.HandlerFunc signature and use
// dependency injection for testability.
package handlers
```
### 2. Exported Function Documentation
```go
// NewCVHandler creates a new CV handler with the given dependencies.
//
// The template manager is used for rendering HTML responses.
// The host parameter is used to construct absolute URLs for SEO.
//
// Example:
//
// tmpl, _ := templates.NewManager(config)
// handler := handlers.NewCVHandler(tmpl, "example.com")
func NewCVHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *CVHandler {
return &CVHandler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}
}
```
### 3. Complex Logic Documentation
```go
// prepareTemplateData loads and processes all data needed for template rendering.
//
// The process involves:
// 1. Load CV and UI data from JSON files
// 2. Calculate experience durations
// 3. Split skills into columns for display
// 4. Build template data map with SEO metadata
func (h *CVHandler) prepareTemplateData(lang string) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
// ...
}
```
## Best Practices Checklist
### Package Structure
- [ ] Use `internal/` for private code
- [ ] Group by feature, not layer
- [ ] Separate `cmd/` from library code
- [ ] Avoid circular dependencies
### File Organization
- [ ] Descriptive, lowercase names
- [ ] Test files mirror source files
- [ ] Related functionality grouped
- [ ] Files < 500 lines
### Code Structure
- [ ] Logical ordering (imports → types → constructor → methods)
- [ ] Public before private
- [ ] Related code grouped
- [ ] Proper documentation
### Naming
- [ ] Short package names (no `util`, `common`)
- [ ] Clear, descriptive file names
- [ ] Consistent naming across project
- [ ] No redundant prefixes
## Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Flat Structure
```go
// BAD: Everything in root
main.go
handlers.go
middleware.go
models.go
utils.go
helpers.go
```
### ❌ Over-Nesting
```go
// BAD: Too many levels
internal/
domain/
services/
cv/
handlers/
http/
v1/
endpoints/
cv.go
```
### ❌ God Packages
```go
// BAD: One package does everything
package app
// 5000 lines of code handling everything
```
## Real-World Example
This project follows these principles:
```
✅ Clear package boundaries
✅ Feature-based organization (handlers, models, middleware)
✅ Test files mirror source files
✅ No circular dependencies
✅ Appropriate use of internal/
✅ Well-documented public API
✅ Logical file naming and organization
```

## Quick Reference
### Code Organization
```
project/
├── cmd/ Main applications
├── internal/ Private application code
│ ├── handlers/ HTTP handlers
│ ├── middleware/ HTTP middleware
│ ├── models/ Data models
│ ├── templates/ Template management
│ └── routes/ Route definitions
├── data/ Static data files
├── templates/ HTML templates
├── static/ Static assets
└── tests/ Test files
```
### Error Handling
```go
// Wrap errors with context
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err)
}
// Use typed errors
func InvalidLanguageError(lang string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeInvalidLanguage,
fmt.Sprintf("Unsupported language: %s", lang),
http.StatusBadRequest,
)
}
```
### Testing
```go
// Table-driven tests
func TestFunction(t *testing.T) {
tests := []struct {
name string
input string
want string
}{
{"case1", "input1", "expected1"},
{"case2", "input2", "expected2"},
}
for _, tt := range tests {
t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
got := Function(tt.input)
if got != tt.want {
t.Errorf("got %v, want %v", got, tt.want)
}
})
}
}
```
### HTTP Handlers
```go
// Use method receivers for related handlers
type CVHandler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager
host string
}
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Handler logic
}
```
### Middleware
```go
// Standard middleware pattern
func MyMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Pre-processing
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
// Post-processing
})
}
```
## Core Principles
### 1. Simplicity
- Clear is better than clever
- Explicit is better than implicit
- Simple solutions over complex ones
### 2. Readability
- Code is read more often than written
- Use descriptive names
- Comment why, not what
### 3. Consistency
- Follow established patterns
- Consistent formatting (gofmt)
- Consistent error handling
### 4. Performance
- Measure before optimizing
- Use profiling tools
- Optimize hot paths only
### 5. Security
- Validate all input
- Use context for timeouts
- Sanitize output
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T ignore errors
data, _ := readFile(path)
// DON'T use panic for flow control
if invalid {
panic("invalid input")
}
// DON'T store context in structs
type Handler struct {
ctx context.Context // Wrong!
}
// DON'T use global mutable state
var globalConfig Config
globalConfig.Timeout = 30
// DON'T return naked values with named returns
func foo() (result string, err error) {
result = "value"
return // Confusing!
}
```
### ✅ DO
```go
// DO handle errors explicitly
data, err := readFile(path)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("read file: %w", err)
}
// DO return errors for exceptional cases
if invalid {
return errors.New("invalid input")
}
// DO pass context as first parameter
func (h *Handler) Process(ctx context.Context, data Data) error {
// Use ctx
}
// DO use dependency injection
func NewHandler(config *Config) *Handler {
return &Handler{config: config}
}
// DO use explicit returns
func foo() (string, error) {
result := "value"
return result, nil
}
```
## Tools & Commands
### Formatting & Linting
```bash
# Format code
go fmt ./...
gofmt -s -w .
# Lint code
golangci-lint run
staticcheck ./...
# Vet code
go vet ./...
```
### Testing
```bash
# Run tests
go test ./...
# Run with coverage
go test -cover ./...
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
go tool cover -html=coverage.out
# Run benchmarks
go test -bench=. ./...
go test -bench=. -benchmem ./...
# Run specific test
go test -run TestFunctionName
```
### Profiling
```bash
# CPU profiling
go test -cpuprofile=cpu.prof -bench=.
go tool pprof cpu.prof
# Memory profiling
go test -memprofile=mem.prof -bench=.
go tool pprof mem.prof
# Live profiling
go tool pprof http://localhost:8080/debug/pprof/profile
```
### Build & Run
```bash
# Build
go build -o app ./cmd/server
# Run
go run ./cmd/server
# Build with optimizations
go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o app ./cmd/server
# Cross-compile
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o app-linux ./cmd/server
```
## Project-Specific Guidelines
### File Naming
- `handler.go``cv.go`, `health.go`
- `handler_pages.go``cv_pages.go`
- `handler_htmx.go``cv_htmx.go`
- `handler_test.go``cv_pages_test.go`
### Handler Organization
```
internal/handlers/
├── cv.go # Constructor
├── cv_pages.go # Page handlers
├── cv_htmx.go # HTMX handlers
├── cv_pdf.go # PDF handler
├── cv_helpers.go # Helper functions
├── types.go # Request/response types
├── errors.go # Error handling
└── *_test.go # Tests mirror source files
```
### Middleware Chain Order
```
Recovery → Logger → SecurityHeaders → Preferences → Router
(outer) (inner)
```
### Context Keys
```go
// Use custom type for context keys
type contextKey string
const PreferencesKey contextKey = "preferences"
```

## Middleware Wrapping Pattern
```go
// Middleware function signature
type Middleware func(http.Handler) http.Handler
// Wrapping example
handler := routes.Setup(cvHandler, healthHandler)
// Returns:
// Recovery(
// Logger(
// SecurityHeaders(
// PreferencesMiddleware(mux)
// )
// )
// )
// Execution flow (unwraps from outside to inside):
Request
enters Recovery
enters Logger
enters SecurityHeaders
enters PreferencesMiddleware
enters mux/handler
handler processes
exits PreferencesMiddleware
exits SecurityHeaders
exits Logger (logs duration)
exits Recovery
Response
```
## Context Flow
```

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Initial Request Context

┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Modified Request Context │
│ │
│ PreferencesKey → &Preferences{ │
│ CVLength: "long", │
│ CVIcons: "show", │
│ CVLanguage: "es", │
│ CVTheme: "default", │
│ ColorTheme: "light", │
│ } │
└──────────────────────────────────────┘
Handler receives request with enriched context
├─→ prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
│ // Retrieves from context
└─→ lang := middleware.GetLanguage(r)
// Helper that calls GetPreferences
```
## Error Handling in Middleware

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

## Performance Characteristics
```
Middleware Performance Impact (per request):
Recovery: ~10 ns (defer overhead)
Logger: ~100 μs (time measurements, string formatting)
SecurityHeaders: ~50 ns (header setting)
Preferences: ~200 μs (cookie parsing, context creation)
Total overhead: ~350 μs per request
Handler time: ~1-5 ms (template rendering)
Total request: ~1.5-5.5 ms

2. TYPE SAFETY
├─ Structured request types
├─ Structured response types
└─ Validation tags
3. ERROR HANDLING
├─ Domain-specific errors
├─ Error codes
└─ Centralized error handler
4. TESTABILITY
├─ Unit tests per file
├─ Integration tests

5. DEPENDENCY INJECTION
├─ Template manager injected
├─ No global state

## Error Handling Best Practices
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Error Handling Best Practices │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1. USE TYPED ERRORS
✓ return InvalidLanguageError(lang)
✗ return errors.New("invalid language")
2. WRAP ERRORS WITH CONTEXT
✓ return fmt.Errorf("failed to load CV: %w", err)
✗ return err
3. LOG BEFORE RESPONDING
✓ log.Printf("[ERROR] %s", err)
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
✗ h.HandleError(w, r, err) // No logging
4. USE APPROPRIATE STATUS CODES
✓ 400 for validation errors
404 for not found
429 for rate limiting
500 for server errors
✗ Always returning 500
5. DON'T LEAK INTERNAL DETAILS
✓ "Failed to generate PDF. Please try again."
✗ "chromedp: chrome crashed at line 42 in generator.go"
6. PROVIDE ACTIONABLE MESSAGES
✓ "Unsupported language: xx (use 'en' or 'es')"
✗ "Invalid input"
7. USE RECOVERY MIDDLEWARE
✓ Catch all panics at middleware level
✗ Let panics crash the server
8. INCLUDE FIELD INFORMATION
✓ error.WithField("lang")
✗ Generic error without field context

## Template Performance
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Template Performance │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Performance Characteristics:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Operation Time Notes │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Template Loading ~50ms On app start │
│ ├─ Parse templates ~40ms Compile Go templates│
│ └─ Cache templates ~10ms Store in map │
│ │
│ Template Rendering ~45ms Per request │
│ ├─ Template lookup ~10ns Map access │
│ ├─ Template execute ~40ms Main cost │
│ ├─ Partial includes ~5ms Include partials │
│ └─ Function calls ~100μs Custom functions │
│ │
│ Hot Reload ~50ms If enabled │
│ └─ Reload all ~50ms Parse again │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Optimization Strategies:
1. Template Caching
└─→ Pre-compile templates at startup
Serve from memory cache
2. Hot Reload (Development Only)
└─→ Reload on every request for dev
Disable in production for speed
3. Minimize Partials
└─→ Balance reusability vs. overhead
Each partial adds ~1ms
4. Pre-calculate Data
└─→ Calculate durations in handler
Split skills before rendering
5. Use Buffer Pool
└─→ Reuse buffers for rendering
Reduce allocations
```
## Template Error Handling
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Template Error Handling │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Error Types:
1. Template Not Found
Error: template "foo.html" not found
Cause: Template doesn't exist in cache
Fix: Create template file, reload
2. Parse Error
Error: template: index.html:42: unexpected "}"
Cause: Syntax error in template
Fix: Check template syntax
3. Execution Error
Error: template: executing "index.html": map has no entry for key "Foo"
Cause: Missing data in template data map
Fix: Ensure all required data passed
4. Function Error
Error: template: function "unknownFunc" not defined
Cause: Custom function not registered
Fix: Register function in FuncMap
Error Flow:
Template Error
├─→ Logged with stack trace
│ log.Printf("[ERROR] Template: %v", err)
├─→ Wrapped in DomainError
│ TemplateError(err)
└─→ Sent as 500 response
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "TEMPLATE_ERROR",
"message": "Failed to render page"
}
}

# Middleware Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
The Middleware Pattern wraps HTTP handlers to add cross-cutting concerns like logging, authentication, error recovery, and request preprocessing. It follows the decorator pattern, allowing you to compose multiple middleware into a chain.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Middleware function signature
type Middleware func(http.Handler) http.Handler
// Middleware wraps a handler
func MyMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Pre-processing (before handler)
// ... do something before
// Call next handler
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
// Post-processing (after handler)
// ... do something after
})
}
```
## Real Implementation from Project
### Preferences Middleware
```go
// internal/middleware/preferences.go
// PreferencesMiddleware reads user preference cookies and stores them in request context
func PreferencesMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Pre-processing: Read cookies
prefs := &Preferences{
CVLength: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-length", "short"),
CVIcons: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-icons", "show"),
CVLanguage: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-language", "en"),
CVTheme: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-theme", "default"),
ColorTheme: getCookieWithDefault(r, "color-theme", "light"),
}
// Migrate old values
if prefs.CVLength == "extended" {
prefs.CVLength = "long"
}
// Store in context
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), PreferencesKey, prefs)
// Call next handler with modified context
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
// No post-processing needed for this middleware
})
}
```
### Recovery Middleware
```go
// internal/middleware/recovery.go
// Recovery catches panics and returns 500 error
func Recovery(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Setup panic recovery
defer func() {
if err := recover(); err != nil {
// Log panic with stack trace
log.Printf("PANIC: %v\n%s", err, debug.Stack())
// Return error response
http.Error(w, "Internal Server Error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
}()
// Call next handler (protected by defer/recover)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
```
### Logger Middleware
```go
// internal/middleware/logger.go
// Logger logs HTTP requests and their duration
func Logger(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Pre-processing: Start timer and log request
start := time.Now()
log.Printf("[%s] %s %s", r.Method, r.URL.Path, r.RemoteAddr)
// Wrap ResponseWriter to capture status code
wrapped := &responseWriter{
ResponseWriter: w,
statusCode: http.StatusOK,
}
// Call next handler
next.ServeHTTP(wrapped, r)
// Post-processing: Log duration and status
duration := time.Since(start)
log.Printf("Completed in %v (status: %d)", duration, wrapped.statusCode)
})
}
// Helper to capture response status
type responseWriter struct {
http.ResponseWriter
statusCode int
}
func (rw *responseWriter) WriteHeader(code int) {
rw.statusCode = code
rw.ResponseWriter.WriteHeader(code)
}
```
## Middleware Composition
### Chaining Middleware
```go
// internal/routes/routes.go
func Setup(cvHandler *handlers.CVHandler, healthHandler *handlers.HealthHandler) http.Handler {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
// Register routes
mux.HandleFunc("/", cvHandler.Home)
mux.HandleFunc("/cv", cvHandler.CVContent)
mux.HandleFunc("/health", healthHandler.Health)
// Compose middleware chain
// Execution order: Recovery → Logger → SecurityHeaders → Preferences → mux
handler := middleware.Recovery(
middleware.Logger(
middleware.SecurityHeaders(
middleware.PreferencesMiddleware(mux),
),
),
)
return handler
}
```
### Route-Specific Middleware
```go
// Apply middleware only to specific routes
func Setup(cvHandler *handlers.CVHandler) http.Handler {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
// Public routes (minimal middleware)
mux.HandleFunc("/", cvHandler.Home)
mux.HandleFunc("/health", healthHandler.Health)
// Protected PDF route (additional middleware)
pdfHandler := middleware.OriginChecker(
middleware.RateLimiter(
http.HandlerFunc(cvHandler.ExportPDF),
3, // 3 requests per minute
),
)
mux.Handle("/export/pdf", pdfHandler)
// Global middleware for all routes
handler := middleware.Recovery(
middleware.Logger(
middleware.PreferencesMiddleware(mux),
),
)
return handler
}
```
## Common Middleware Use Cases
### 1. Authentication
```go
func AuthMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Get token from header
token := r.Header.Get("Authorization")
// Validate token
userID, err := validateToken(token)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Unauthorized", http.StatusUnauthorized)
return
}
// Store user ID in context
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), UserIDKey, userID)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
```
### 2. CORS
```go
func CORS(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Set CORS headers
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, OPTIONS")
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type")
// Handle preflight
if r.Method == "OPTIONS" {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
return
}
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
```
### 3. Request Timeout
```go
func Timeout(duration time.Duration) func(http.Handler) http.Handler {
return func(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Create context with timeout
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.Context(), duration)
defer cancel()
// Create channel for handler completion
done := make(chan struct{})
go func() {
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
close(done)
}()
// Wait for completion or timeout
select {
case <-done:
// Handler completed
case <-ctx.Done():
// Timeout occurred
http.Error(w, "Request Timeout", http.StatusGatewayTimeout)
}
})
}
}
```
### 4. Request ID
```go
func RequestID(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Generate unique ID
requestID := uuid.New().String()
// Add to response header
w.Header().Set("X-Request-ID", requestID)
// Store in context
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), RequestIDKey, requestID)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
```
## Middleware Execution Flow
```
Request
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Recovery Middleware │ ← Outermost (catches all panics)
│ defer/recover │
└─────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Logger Middleware │ ← Logs request + duration
│ Pre: Log request │
│ Post: Log duration │
└─────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Security Middleware │ ← Add security headers
│ Set headers │
└─────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Preferences Middleware │ ← Innermost (closest to handler)
│ Read cookies → context │
└─────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ Handler │ ← Business logic
│ Process request │
└─────────────────────────┘
Response (unwraps in reverse order)
```
## Benefits
1. **Separation of Concerns**: Cross-cutting logic separate from handlers
2. **Composability**: Chain multiple middleware together
3. **Reusability**: Same middleware for multiple routes
4. **Testability**: Easy to test in isolation
5. **Maintainability**: Change behavior without touching handlers
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Keep middleware focused on one concern
func LoggerMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Only logging logic here
log.Printf("[%s] %s", r.Method, r.URL.Path)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
// Use context for request-scoped values
func PreferencesMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
prefs := readPreferences(r)
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), PrefsKey, prefs)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
// Order middleware correctly (outer to inner)
handler := Recovery(Logger(Auth(mux)))
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T mix multiple concerns in one middleware
func BadMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Too much! Logging, auth, CORS, caching...
log.Print(r.URL)
if !checkAuth(r) { return }
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
cached := getCache(r.URL.Path)
// ...
})
}
// DON'T store context in struct
type BadMiddleware struct {
ctx context.Context // Wrong!
}
// DON'T modify original request (use r.WithContext)
func BadMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
r.Header.Set("X-Foo", "bar") // Modifies original!
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
```
## Testing Middleware
```go
func TestPreferencesMiddleware(t *testing.T) {
// Create test handler that reads preferences
handler := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
prefs := GetPreferences(r)
if prefs.CVLength != "long" {
t.Errorf("expected long, got %s", prefs.CVLength)
}
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
})
// Wrap with middleware
wrapped := PreferencesMiddleware(handler)
// Create test request with cookie
req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/", nil)
req.AddCookie(&http.Cookie{Name: "cv-length", Value: "long"})
// Execute
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
wrapped.ServeHTTP(w, req)
// Verify
if w.Code != http.StatusOK {
t.Errorf("expected 200, got %d", w.Code)
}
}
```

# Handler Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
The Handler Pattern organizes HTTP endpoint logic into structured, testable components. This project uses a method-based handler approach where related endpoints are grouped as methods on a handler struct.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Handler struct holds dependencies
type Handler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager
db *database.DB
// other dependencies
}
// Constructor with dependency injection
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, db *database.DB) *Handler {
return &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
db: db,
}
}
// HTTP handler methods
func (h *Handler) MethodName(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Handle request
}
```
## Real Implementation from Project
### CVHandler Structure
```go
// internal/handlers/cv.go
// CVHandler handles CV-related HTTP requests
type CVHandler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager // Template renderer
host string // Server host for absolute URLs
}
// NewCVHandler creates a new CV handler with dependencies
func NewCVHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *CVHandler {
return &CVHandler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}
}
```
### Page Handlers
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_pages.go
// Home renders the main CV page
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Get user preferences from context (set by middleware)
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
// Get language from query params, fallback to preference
lang := r.URL.Query().Get("lang")
if lang == "" {
lang = prefs.CVLanguage
}
// Validate language
if err := validateLanguage(lang); err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
return
}
// Prepare template data
data, err := h.prepareTemplateData(lang)
if err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
return
}
// Render template
if err := h.tmpl.Render(w, "index.html", data); err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, TemplateError(err))
return
}
}
// CVContent renders just the CV content (for HTMX partial updates)
func (h *CVHandler) CVContent(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
lang := prefs.CVLanguage
data, err := h.prepareTemplateData(lang)
if err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
return
}
if err := h.tmpl.Render(w, "partials/cv_content.html", data); err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, TemplateError(err))
return
}
}
```
### HTMX Toggle Handlers
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_htmx.go
// ToggleCVLength toggles between short and long CV formats
func (h *CVHandler) ToggleCVLength(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Get current preferences from context
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
currentLength := prefs.CVLength
// Toggle state
newLength := "long"
if currentLength == "long" {
newLength = "short"
}
// Save new preference
middleware.SetPreferenceCookie(w, "cv-length", newLength)
// Render updated content
lang := middleware.GetLanguage(r)
data, err := h.prepareTemplateData(lang)
if err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
return
}
if err := h.tmpl.Render(w, "partials/cv_content.html", data); err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, TemplateError(err))
return
}
}
// ToggleCVIcons toggles icon visibility
func (h *CVHandler) ToggleCVIcons(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Similar pattern: get → toggle → save → render
// ...
}
```
### Helper Methods
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_helpers.go
// prepareTemplateData loads and prepares all data for template rendering
func (h *CVHandler) prepareTemplateData(lang string) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
// Load CV data
cv, err := cvmodel.LoadCV(lang)
if err != nil {
return nil, DataNotFoundError("CV", lang).WithErr(err)
}
// Load UI strings
ui, err := uimodel.LoadUI(lang)
if err != nil {
return nil, DataNotFoundError("UI", lang).WithErr(err)
}
// Calculate experience durations
for i := range cv.Experience {
cv.Experience[i].Duration = calculateDuration(
cv.Experience[i].StartDate,
cv.Experience[i].EndDate,
)
}
// Split skills into columns
skillColumns := splitSkillsIntoColumns(cv.Skills.Technical, 3)
// Build data map
return map[string]interface{}{
"CV": cv,
"UI": ui,
"SkillsColumns": skillColumns,
"PageTitle": fmt.Sprintf("%s - %s", cv.Personal.Name, cv.Personal.Title),
"CanonicalURL": h.getFullURL("/"),
}, nil
}
// getFullURL builds absolute URLs for SEO
func (h *CVHandler) getFullURL(path string) string {
return fmt.Sprintf("http://%s%s", h.host, path)
}
```
## Handler Organization by File
### Separation of Concerns
```
internal/handlers/
├── cv.go Constructor, shared state
├── cv_pages.go Full page renders (Home, CVContent)
├── cv_htmx.go HTMX partial updates (4 toggles)
├── cv_pdf.go PDF export endpoint
├── cv_helpers.go Shared utilities
├── types.go Request/response types
└── errors.go Error handling
```
This separation provides:
1. **Clear boundaries**: Each file has a specific purpose
2. **Easier navigation**: Find code by responsibility
3. **Better testing**: Test files mirror source files
4. **Reduced conflicts**: Multiple developers can work in parallel
## Route Registration
```go
// internal/routes/routes.go
func Setup(cvHandler *handlers.CVHandler, healthHandler *handlers.HealthHandler) http.Handler {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
// Page routes
mux.HandleFunc("/", cvHandler.Home)
mux.HandleFunc("/cv", cvHandler.CVContent)
// HTMX toggle routes
mux.HandleFunc("/toggle/length", cvHandler.ToggleCVLength)
mux.HandleFunc("/toggle/icons", cvHandler.ToggleCVIcons)
mux.HandleFunc("/toggle/theme", cvHandler.ToggleCVTheme)
mux.HandleFunc("/toggle/language", cvHandler.ToggleLanguage)
// PDF export route (with additional middleware)
pdfHandler := middleware.OriginChecker(
middleware.RateLimiter(
http.HandlerFunc(cvHandler.ExportPDF),
3, // 3 requests per minute
),
)
mux.Handle("/export/pdf", pdfHandler)
// Health check
mux.HandleFunc("/health", healthHandler.Health)
// Static files
fs := http.FileServer(http.Dir("static"))
mux.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", fs))
// Apply global middleware
handler := middleware.Recovery(
middleware.Logger(
middleware.SecurityHeaders(
middleware.PreferencesMiddleware(mux),
),
),
)
return handler
}
```
## Handler Benefits
### 1. Dependency Injection
```go
// Dependencies are explicit and injectable
type CVHandler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager // Can be mocked
db *database.DB // Can be mocked
cache *redis.Client // Can be mocked
}
// Easy to test with mocks
func TestHome(t *testing.T) {
mockTmpl := &MockTemplateManager{}
handler := NewCVHandler(mockTmpl, "localhost:8080")
// Test with mock
}
```
### 2. Shared Logic
```go
// Helpers available to all handler methods
func (h *CVHandler) prepareTemplateData(lang string) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
// Reused by Home(), CVContent(), ToggleCVLength(), etc.
}
func (h *CVHandler) HandleError(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error) {
// Centralized error handling for all methods
}
```
### 3. Context Access
```go
// All handler methods have access to:
// - Dependencies (h.tmpl, h.host)
// - Request (r)
// - Response (w)
func (h *CVHandler) AnyMethod(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Can access h.tmpl, h.host, etc.
}
```
## Alternative Handler Patterns
### 1. Function-Based Handlers
```go
// Simple approach for small apps
func Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// No struct, just a function
// Dependencies passed as globals or closures
}
```
**When to use**: Very small apps, simple endpoints
**Drawbacks**: Hard to test, shared logic difficult, no dependency injection
### 2. Handler with Interface
```go
// Interface-based approach
type Handler interface {
Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
Profile(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
}
type CVHandler struct {
// ...
}
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// ...
}
```
**When to use**: Multiple implementations, complex testing
**Drawbacks**: More boilerplate, potentially over-engineered
### 3. Handler with http.Handler Interface
```go
// Implement http.Handler interface directly
type HomeHandler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager
}
func (h *HomeHandler) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Handle request
}
// Register
mux.Handle("/", &HomeHandler{tmpl: tmplManager})
```
**When to use**: When you need to pass handlers around as interfaces
**Drawbacks**: One handler per endpoint, lots of small types
## Testing Handlers
### Unit Test Example
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_pages_test.go
func TestHome(t *testing.T) {
// Setup
cfg := &config.TemplateConfig{
Dir: "../../templates",
PartialsDir: "../../templates/partials",
HotReload: true,
}
tmplManager, err := templates.NewManager(cfg)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
handler := NewCVHandler(tmplManager, "localhost:8080")
// Create test request
req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/?lang=en", nil)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
// Execute
handler.Home(w, req)
// Verify
if w.Code != http.StatusOK {
t.Errorf("expected 200, got %d", w.Code)
}
body := w.Body.String()
if !strings.Contains(body, "<!DOCTYPE html>") {
t.Error("response should be HTML")
}
}
```
### Table-Driven Tests
```go
func TestHome(t *testing.T) {
tests := []struct {
name string
lang string
wantStatus int
wantBody string
}{
{
name: "English version",
lang: "en",
wantStatus: http.StatusOK,
wantBody: "Professional Summary",
},
{
name: "Spanish version",
lang: "es",
wantStatus: http.StatusOK,
wantBody: "Resumen Profesional",
},
{
name: "Invalid language",
lang: "xx",
wantStatus: http.StatusBadRequest,
wantBody: "INVALID_LANGUAGE",
},
}
for _, tt := range tests {
t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/?lang="+tt.lang, nil)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler.Home(w, req)
if w.Code != tt.wantStatus {
t.Errorf("status = %d, want %d", w.Code, tt.wantStatus)
}
if !strings.Contains(w.Body.String(), tt.wantBody) {
t.Errorf("body missing %q", tt.wantBody)
}
})
}
}
```
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Keep handlers focused on HTTP concerns
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Parse request
// Validate input
// Call business logic
// Render response
}
// Extract business logic to helpers
func (h *CVHandler) prepareTemplateData(lang string) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
// This can be tested independently
}
// Use dependency injection
func NewCVHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *CVHandler {
return &CVHandler{tmpl: tmpl, host: host}
}
// Group related handlers
type CVHandler struct {
// CV-related endpoints
}
type UserHandler struct {
// User-related endpoints
}
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T put business logic in handlers
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// 500 lines of business logic here...
}
// DON'T use global state
var globalTemplateManager *templates.Manager
// DON'T mix unrelated endpoints
type Handler struct {
// CV, Users, Orders, Payments all in one struct
}
// DON'T ignore errors
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
data, _ := h.prepareTemplateData(lang) // Ignoring error!
h.tmpl.Render(w, "index.html", data)
}
```
## Handler Testing Checklist
- [ ] Test happy path
- [ ] Test invalid input
- [ ] Test missing data
- [ ] Test error handling
- [ ] Test with different preferences/context
- [ ] Test response headers
- [ ] Test response status codes
- [ ] Test response body content

# Context Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
The Context Pattern uses Go's `context` package to carry request-scoped values, cancellation signals, and deadlines across API boundaries and goroutines. It's the standard way to pass request-specific data through middleware chains to handlers.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Store value in context
ctx := context.WithValue(parentCtx, key, value)
// Retrieve value from context
value := ctx.Value(key)
```
## Real Implementation from Project
### Storing Preferences in Context
```go
// internal/middleware/preferences.go
// PreferencesKey is the context key for user preferences
type contextKey string
const PreferencesKey contextKey = "preferences"
// PreferencesMiddleware reads cookies and stores in context
func PreferencesMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Read user preferences from cookies
prefs := &Preferences{
CVLength: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-length", "short"),
CVIcons: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-icons", "show"),
CVLanguage: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-language", "en"),
CVTheme: getCookieWithDefault(r, "cv-theme", "default"),
ColorTheme: getCookieWithDefault(r, "color-theme", "light"),
}
// Migrate old values
if prefs.CVLength == "extended" {
prefs.CVLength = "long"
}
// Store in context
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), PreferencesKey, prefs)
// Pass modified context to next handler
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
```
### Retrieving Values from Context
```go
// internal/middleware/preferences.go
// GetPreferences retrieves preferences from request context
func GetPreferences(r *http.Request) *Preferences {
// Get value from context
prefs, ok := r.Context().Value(PreferencesKey).(*Preferences)
if !ok {
// Return defaults if not found
return &Preferences{
CVLength: "short",
CVIcons: "show",
CVLanguage: "en",
CVTheme: "default",
ColorTheme: "light",
}
}
return prefs
}
```
### Context Helper Functions
```go
// internal/middleware/preferences.go
// Convenience functions for cleaner code
// GetLanguage retrieves the user's language preference
func GetLanguage(r *http.Request) string {
return GetPreferences(r).CVLanguage
}
// GetCVLength retrieves the CV length preference
func GetCVLength(r *http.Request) string {
return GetPreferences(r).CVLength
}
// GetCVIcons retrieves the icons visibility preference
func GetCVIcons(r *http.Request) string {
return GetPreferences(r).CVIcons
}
// IsLongCV returns true if the user prefers long CV format
func IsLongCV(r *http.Request) bool {
return GetCVLength(r) == "long"
}
// ShowIcons returns true if icons should be visible
func ShowIcons(r *http.Request) bool {
return GetCVIcons(r) == "show"
}
```
### Using Context in Handlers
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_pages.go
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Easy access to preferences via helper
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
lang := prefs.CVLanguage
// Or use specific helpers
if middleware.IsLongCV(r) {
// Show long CV
}
if middleware.ShowIcons(r) {
// Include icons
}
// ...
}
```
## Context Key Best Practices
### Type-Safe Context Keys
```go
// ❌ BAD: String keys can collide
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, "user", user)
// ✅ GOOD: Use custom type for keys
type contextKey string
const UserKey contextKey = "user"
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, UserKey, user)
```
### Why Custom Types?
```go
// With string keys, these collide:
package auth
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, "user", authUser)
package session
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, "user", sessionUser) // Overwrites!
// With custom types, they're distinct:
package auth
type contextKey string
const UserKey contextKey = "user"
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, UserKey, authUser)
package session
type contextKey string
const UserKey contextKey = "user"
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, UserKey, sessionUser) // Different type!
```
## Context for Cancellation
### Handler with Timeout
```go
func (h *Handler) LongOperation(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Create context with timeout
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.Context(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
// Use context in operation
result, err := h.doLongOperation(ctx)
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
http.Error(w, "Operation timed out", http.StatusGatewayTimeout)
return
}
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(result)
}
func (h *Handler) doLongOperation(ctx context.Context) (result interface{}, err error) {
// Check context before expensive operations
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return nil, ctx.Err()
default:
}
// Do work...
return result, nil
}
```
### Database Query with Context
```go
func (h *Handler) GetUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Pass request context to database
user, err := h.db.QueryContext(r.Context(), "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", userID)
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, context.Canceled) {
// Client disconnected
return
}
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(user)
}
```
## Context Values vs. Function Parameters
### When to Use Context
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Request-scoped values
func (h *Handler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r) // From context
userID := middleware.GetUserID(r) // From context
// ...
}
// ✅ GOOD: Cancellation/timeouts
func doWork(ctx context.Context) error {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return ctx.Err()
case <-time.After(1 * time.Second):
return nil
}
}
```
### When to Use Parameters
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Required function inputs
func calculateTotal(price float64, quantity int) float64 {
return price * float64(quantity)
}
// ✅ GOOD: Configuration
func NewHandler(config *Config, db *DB) *Handler {
return &Handler{config: config, db: db}
}
// ❌ BAD: Using context for function parameters
func calculateTotal(ctx context.Context) float64 {
price := ctx.Value("price").(float64) // Wrong!
quantity := ctx.Value("quantity").(int) // Wrong!
return price * float64(quantity)
}
```
## Common Context Patterns
### 1. Authentication
```go
// Middleware stores user in context
func AuthMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
token := r.Header.Get("Authorization")
user, err := validateToken(token)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Unauthorized", http.StatusUnauthorized)
return
}
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), UserKey, user)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
// Handler retrieves user from context
func (h *Handler) Profile(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
user := r.Context().Value(UserKey).(*User)
// Use user...
}
```
### 2. Request ID Tracing
```go
// Middleware generates and stores request ID
func RequestIDMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
requestID := uuid.New().String()
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), RequestIDKey, requestID)
// Add to response header
w.Header().Set("X-Request-ID", requestID)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
// Use in logging
func logError(ctx context.Context, err error) {
requestID := ctx.Value(RequestIDKey).(string)
log.Printf("[%s] ERROR: %v", requestID, err)
}
```
### 3. Database Transaction
```go
func (h *Handler) CreateUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Start transaction
tx, err := h.db.BeginTx(r.Context(), nil)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
defer tx.Rollback()
// Store transaction in context
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), TxKey, tx)
// Call business logic with context
user, err := h.createUserWithTx(ctx, userData)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
// Commit transaction
if err := tx.Commit(); err != nil {
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(user)
}
func (h *Handler) createUserWithTx(ctx context.Context, data UserData) (*User, error) {
// Get transaction from context
tx := ctx.Value(TxKey).(*sql.Tx)
// Use transaction
result, err := tx.ExecContext(ctx, "INSERT INTO users (...) VALUES (...)", ...)
// ...
}
```
## Context Anti-Patterns
### ❌ DON'T Store Context in Struct
```go
// BAD: Context in struct
type Handler struct {
ctx context.Context // Wrong!
}
// GOOD: Pass context as first parameter
func (h *Handler) DoWork(ctx context.Context) error {
// Use ctx here
}
```
### ❌ DON'T Use Context for Optional Parameters
```go
// BAD: Configuration in context
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, "maxRetries", 3)
ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "timeout", 10*time.Second)
doWork(ctx)
// GOOD: Use options pattern or struct
type Options struct {
MaxRetries int
Timeout time.Duration
}
doWork(ctx, Options{MaxRetries: 3, Timeout: 10*time.Second})
```
### ❌ DON'T Pass Context to Constructors
```go
// BAD: Context in constructor
func NewHandler(ctx context.Context, db *DB) *Handler {
return &Handler{ctx: ctx, db: db} // Wrong!
}
// GOOD: Accept context in methods
func NewHandler(db *DB) *Handler {
return &Handler{db: db}
}
func (h *Handler) DoWork(ctx context.Context) error {
// Use ctx here
}
```
## Testing with Context
```go
func TestHandler(t *testing.T) {
// Create test context with values
ctx := context.Background()
ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, PreferencesKey, &Preferences{
CVLength: "long",
})
// Create request with context
req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/", nil)
req = req.WithContext(ctx)
// Test handler
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler.Home(w, req)
// Verify
if w.Code != http.StatusOK {
t.Errorf("expected 200, got %d", w.Code)
}
}
```
## Context Rules
1. **Always pass context as first parameter**: `func DoWork(ctx context.Context, ...)`
2. **Never store context in struct**: Pass it to methods
3. **Always call cancel**: `defer cancel()` after `context.WithTimeout/WithCancel`
4. **Check context.Done()**: In long-running operations
5. **Use custom types for keys**: Avoid string collisions
6. **Provide defaults**: When retrieving values from context
## Related Patterns
- **Middleware Pattern**: Sets context values
- **Handler Pattern**: Reads context values
- **Error Wrapping**: Context cancellation errors

# Error Wrapping Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
Error Wrapping adds context to errors as they propagate up the call stack, creating a chain of errors that preserves both the original error and contextual information. Go 1.13+ provides `fmt.Errorf` with `%w` verb and `errors.Unwrap` for this pattern.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Wrap error with context
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err)
}
// Unwrap to get original error
originalErr := errors.Unwrap(wrappedErr)
// Check if error chain contains specific error
if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
// Handle not found
}
// Extract error of specific type from chain
var domainErr *DomainError
if errors.As(err, &domainErr) {
// Use domain error
}
```
## Real Implementation from Project
### Basic Error Wrapping
```go
// internal/models/cv/cv.go
func LoadCV(lang string) (*CV, error) {
// Build file path
filePath := fmt.Sprintf("data/cv-%s.json", lang)
// Read file
data, err := os.ReadFile(filePath)
if err != nil {
// Wrap with context
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to read CV file: %w", err)
}
// Parse JSON
var cv CV
err = json.Unmarshal(data, &cv)
if err != nil {
// Wrap with more context
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to parse CV JSON: %w", err)
}
// Validate
if err := cv.Validate(); err != nil {
// Wrap validation error
return nil, fmt.Errorf("CV validation failed: %w", err)
}
return &cv, nil
}
```
### Domain Error Type
```go
// internal/handlers/errors.go
// DomainError represents application-level errors
type DomainError struct {
Code ErrorCode // Machine-readable error code
Message string // Human-readable message
Err error // Underlying error
StatusCode int // HTTP status code
Field string // Field that caused error
}
// Error implements error interface
func (e *DomainError) Error() string {
if e.Err != nil {
return fmt.Sprintf("%s: %v", e.Message, e.Err)
}
return e.Message
}
// Unwrap returns the underlying error
func (e *DomainError) Unwrap() error {
return e.Err
}
// WithErr adds underlying error
func (e *DomainError) WithErr(err error) *DomainError {
e.Err = err
return e
}
// WithField adds field information
func (e *DomainError) WithField(field string) *DomainError {
e.Field = field
return e
}
```
### Error Constructors
```go
// internal/handlers/errors.go
// InvalidLanguageError creates a language validation error
func InvalidLanguageError(lang string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeInvalidLanguage,
fmt.Sprintf("Unsupported language: %s (use 'en' or 'es')", lang),
http.StatusBadRequest,
).WithField("lang")
}
// DataNotFoundError creates a data not found error
func DataNotFoundError(dataType, lang string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeDataNotFound,
fmt.Sprintf("%s data not found for language: %s", dataType, lang),
http.StatusInternalServerError,
)
}
// PDFGenerationError creates a PDF generation error
func PDFGenerationError(err error) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodePDFGeneration,
"Failed to generate PDF. Please try again.",
http.StatusInternalServerError,
).WithErr(err)
}
```
### Error Handling Chain
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_pages.go
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Validate language
if err := validateLanguage(lang); err != nil {
// err is already a DomainError
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
return
}
// Load CV data
cv, err := cvmodel.LoadCV(lang)
if err != nil {
// Wrap in DomainError with context
domErr := DataNotFoundError("CV", lang).WithErr(err)
h.HandleError(w, r, domErr)
return
}
// Render template
if err := h.tmpl.Render(w, "index.html", data); err != nil {
// Wrap template error
domErr := TemplateError(err)
h.HandleError(w, r, domErr)
return
}
}
```
### Centralized Error Handler
```go
// internal/handlers/errors.go
// HandleError processes errors and sends appropriate HTTP response
func (h *CVHandler) HandleError(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error) {
// Try to cast to DomainError
var domErr *DomainError
if errors.As(err, &domErr) {
// Handle domain error
h.handleDomainError(w, r, domErr)
return
}
// Check for specific errors
if errors.Is(err, context.Canceled) {
// Client disconnected
log.Printf("Request canceled: %v", err)
return
}
if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
// Timeout
domErr := NewDomainError(
ErrCodeTimeout,
"Request timed out",
http.StatusGatewayTimeout,
)
h.handleDomainError(w, r, domErr)
return
}
// Generic error
log.Printf("Unhandled error: %v", err)
domErr := NewDomainError(
ErrCodeInternalError,
"An unexpected error occurred",
http.StatusInternalServerError,
)
h.handleDomainError(w, r, domErr)
}
func (h *CVHandler) handleDomainError(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, domErr *DomainError) {
// Log error with code
log.Printf("[ERROR] %s: %s", domErr.Code, domErr.Message)
if domErr.Err != nil {
log.Printf("[ERROR] Underlying: %v", domErr.Err)
}
// Build error response
response := NewErrorResponse(
string(domErr.Code),
domErr.Message,
)
if domErr.Field != "" {
response.Error.Field = domErr.Field
}
// Send JSON response
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.WriteHeader(domErr.StatusCode)
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(response)
}
```
## Error Chain Example
### Full Error Propagation
```
1. File system error (os.ReadFile)
2. Wrapped by model (LoadCV)
"failed to read CV file: open data/cv-xx.json: no such file"
3. Wrapped by handler (Home)
DataNotFoundError("CV", "xx").WithErr(err)
4. Handled by error handler
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "DATA_NOT_FOUND",
"message": "CV data not found for language: xx"
}
}
```
### Error Chain in Code
```go
// Layer 1: File system
_, err := os.ReadFile("data/cv-xx.json")
// err = &fs.PathError{Op:"open", Path:"data/cv-xx.json", Err:syscall.ENOENT}
// Layer 2: Model
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to read CV file: %w", err)
}
// err = "failed to read CV file: open data/cv-xx.json: no such file or directory"
// Layer 3: Handler
if err != nil {
domErr := DataNotFoundError("CV", lang).WithErr(err)
}
// domErr = &DomainError{
// Code: "DATA_NOT_FOUND",
// Message: "CV data not found for language: xx",
// Err: [wrapped error from model],
// StatusCode: 500,
// }
// Layer 4: Error handler
h.HandleError(w, r, domErr)
// Logs full chain, sends user-friendly JSON
```
## Using errors.Is and errors.As
### errors.Is - Check Error Type
```go
func handleError(err error) {
// Check if error is or wraps specific error
if errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist) {
fmt.Println("File not found")
return
}
if errors.Is(err, context.Canceled) {
fmt.Println("Request canceled")
return
}
if errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) {
fmt.Println("No data found")
return
}
fmt.Println("Unknown error:", err)
}
```
### errors.As - Extract Error Type
```go
func handleError(err error) {
// Extract DomainError from chain
var domErr *DomainError
if errors.As(err, &domErr) {
fmt.Printf("Domain error: code=%s, status=%d\n",
domErr.Code, domErr.StatusCode)
return
}
// Extract PathError from chain
var pathErr *fs.PathError
if errors.As(err, &pathErr) {
fmt.Printf("Path error: op=%s, path=%s\n",
pathErr.Op, pathErr.Path)
return
}
fmt.Println("Unknown error:", err)
}
```
## Custom Error Types
### Sentinel Errors
```go
// Define sentinel errors for comparison
var (
ErrNotFound = errors.New("not found")
ErrUnauthorized = errors.New("unauthorized")
ErrInvalidInput = errors.New("invalid input")
)
// Use in code
if user == nil {
return ErrNotFound
}
// Check with errors.Is
if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
// Handle not found
}
```
### Error with Context
```go
// ValidationError includes field information
type ValidationError struct {
Field string
Message string
Value interface{}
}
func (e *ValidationError) Error() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("validation failed for %s: %s (value: %v)",
e.Field, e.Message, e.Value)
}
// Usage
if len(name) == 0 {
return &ValidationError{
Field: "name",
Message: "name is required",
Value: name,
}
}
```
## Error Wrapping Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Add context when wrapping
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to process user %d: %w", userID, err)
}
// Use %w for wrapping (preserves error chain)
return fmt.Errorf("database query failed: %w", err)
// Wrap at each layer
func LoadUser(id int) (*User, error) {
data, err := readFile(fmt.Sprintf("users/%d.json", id))
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("load user %d: %w", id, err)
}
// ...
}
// Create custom errors with context
func InvalidEmailError(email string) error {
return fmt.Errorf("invalid email format: %s", email)
}
// Check errors with errors.Is
if errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist) {
// Handle file not found
}
// Extract errors with errors.As
var domErr *DomainError
if errors.As(err, &domErr) {
// Use domain error
}
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T use %v (loses error chain)
return fmt.Errorf("failed: %v", err) // Wrong!
return fmt.Errorf("failed: %w", err) // Correct
// DON'T ignore errors
data, _ := readFile(path) // Wrong!
// DON'T return generic errors
if invalid {
return errors.New("error") // Too generic!
}
// DON'T compare errors with ==
if err == someError { // Wrong! Use errors.Is
// ...
}
// DON'T type assert directly
domErr := err.(*DomainError) // Wrong! Use errors.As
```
## Error Logging
### Structured Logging
```go
func (h *Handler) processRequest(r *http.Request) error {
err := h.doWork()
if err != nil {
// Log with context
log.Printf("[ERROR] Request processing failed: %v", err)
// Log underlying errors
var domErr *DomainError
if errors.As(err, &domErr) {
log.Printf("[ERROR] Code: %s, Status: %d",
domErr.Code, domErr.StatusCode)
if domErr.Err != nil {
log.Printf("[ERROR] Underlying: %v", domErr.Err)
}
}
return err
}
return nil
}
```
### Stack Traces
```go
// For panics (recovered in middleware)
func Recovery(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
defer func() {
if err := recover(); err != nil {
// Log with stack trace
log.Printf("PANIC: %v\n%s", err, debug.Stack())
http.Error(w, "Internal Server Error",
http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
}()
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
```
## Testing Error Handling
```go
func TestLoadCV_FileNotFound(t *testing.T) {
// Test error wrapping
_, err := LoadCV("nonexistent")
// Check error occurred
if err == nil {
t.Fatal("expected error, got nil")
}
// Check error message contains context
if !strings.Contains(err.Error(), "failed to read CV file") {
t.Errorf("error missing context: %v", err)
}
// Check error chain contains specific error
if !errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist) {
t.Error("error should wrap os.ErrNotExist")
}
}
func TestHandleError_DomainError(t *testing.T) {
// Create domain error
domErr := InvalidLanguageError("xx")
// Test handling
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/", nil)
handler.HandleError(w, req, domErr)
// Verify response
if w.Code != http.StatusBadRequest {
t.Errorf("status = %d, want %d", w.Code, http.StatusBadRequest)
}
var response APIResponse
json.NewDecoder(w.Body).Decode(&response)
if response.Success {
t.Error("expected success=false")
}
if response.Error.Code != "INVALID_LANGUAGE" {
t.Errorf("code = %s, want INVALID_LANGUAGE", response.Error.Code)
}
}
```

# Dependency Injection Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
Dependency Injection (DI) is a pattern where dependencies are provided to a component rather than the component creating them itself. In Go, this is typically done through constructor functions that accept dependencies as parameters.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Define dependencies as interfaces (optional but recommended)
type Database interface {
Query(query string) (Result, error)
}
// Component accepts dependencies via constructor
type Service struct {
db Database
logger Logger
config *Config
}
// Constructor injects dependencies
func NewService(db Database, logger Logger, config *Config) *Service {
return &Service{
db: db,
logger: logger,
config: config,
}
}
```
## Real Implementation from Project
### Handler with Dependencies
```go
// internal/handlers/cv.go
// CVHandler handles CV-related HTTP requests
type CVHandler struct {
tmpl *templates.Manager // Injected template manager
host string // Injected host configuration
}
// NewCVHandler creates a new CV handler with injected dependencies
func NewCVHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *CVHandler {
return &CVHandler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}
}
// Methods use injected dependencies
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Use injected template manager
if err := h.tmpl.Render(w, "index.html", data); err != nil {
// ...
}
// Use injected host for absolute URLs
canonicalURL := fmt.Sprintf("http://%s/", h.host)
}
```
### Template Manager with Dependencies
```go
// internal/templates/manager.go
// Manager handles template rendering
type Manager struct {
templates map[string]*template.Template
config *config.TemplateConfig // Injected configuration
mu sync.RWMutex
}
// NewManager creates template manager with injected config
func NewManager(config *config.TemplateConfig) (*Manager, error) {
m := &Manager{
templates: make(map[string]*template.Template),
config: config, // Store injected config
}
// Use config to load templates
if err := m.loadTemplates(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return m, nil
}
// Methods use injected config
func (m *Manager) loadTemplates() error {
// Use injected config
files, err := filepath.Glob(m.config.Dir + "/*.html")
// ...
}
```
### Main Function - Wiring Dependencies
```go
// main.go
func main() {
// Load configuration
cfg := config.Load()
// Create template manager (with config dependency)
tmplManager, err := templates.NewManager(cfg.Templates)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Create handlers (with template manager dependency)
cvHandler := handlers.NewCVHandler(tmplManager, cfg.Server.Host)
healthHandler := handlers.NewHealthHandler()
// Setup routes (with handler dependencies)
handler := routes.Setup(cvHandler, healthHandler)
// Start server
server := &http.Server{
Addr: cfg.Server.Port,
Handler: handler,
}
log.Printf("Server starting on %s", cfg.Server.Port)
if err := server.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
```
## Benefits of Dependency Injection
### 1. Testability
```go
// Without DI: Hard to test
type Handler struct {
// Creates dependencies internally
}
func NewHandler() *Handler {
db := database.Connect("prod-db") // Can't mock!
return &Handler{db: db}
}
// With DI: Easy to test
type Handler struct {
db Database // Interface
}
func NewHandler(db Database) *Handler {
return &Handler{db: db}
}
// Test with mock
func TestHandler(t *testing.T) {
mockDB := &MockDatabase{}
handler := NewHandler(mockDB)
// Test with mock
}
```
### 2. Flexibility
```go
// Switch implementations without changing handler code
// Production
realDB := &PostgresDB{conn: conn}
handler := NewHandler(realDB)
// Testing
mockDB := &MockDB{}
handler := NewHandler(mockDB)
// Development
localDB := &SQLiteDB{path: "dev.db"}
handler := NewHandler(localDB)
```
### 3. Explicit Dependencies
```go
// Clear what a component needs
func NewService(
db Database,
cache Cache,
logger Logger,
config *Config,
) *Service {
// Dependencies are explicit and visible
return &Service{
db: db,
cache: cache,
logger: logger,
config: config,
}
}
```
## Constructor Patterns
### 1. Simple Constructor
```go
// Direct initialization
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *Handler {
return &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}
}
```
### 2. Constructor with Validation
```go
// Validate dependencies
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) (*Handler, error) {
if tmpl == nil {
return nil, errors.New("template manager is required")
}
if host == "" {
return nil, errors.New("host is required")
}
return &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}, nil
}
```
### 3. Constructor with Options
```go
// Options pattern for many optional dependencies
type HandlerOptions struct {
Host string
Timeout time.Duration
MaxRetries int
}
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, opts *HandlerOptions) *Handler {
// Apply defaults
if opts == nil {
opts = &HandlerOptions{
Host: "localhost:8080",
Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
MaxRetries: 3,
}
}
return &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: opts.Host,
timeout: opts.Timeout,
maxRetries: opts.MaxRetries,
}
}
```
### 4. Functional Options
```go
// Functional options pattern
type HandlerOption func(*Handler)
func WithTimeout(d time.Duration) HandlerOption {
return func(h *Handler) {
h.timeout = d
}
}
func WithLogger(logger Logger) HandlerOption {
return func(h *Handler) {
h.logger = logger
}
}
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, opts ...HandlerOption) *Handler {
h := &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
timeout: 30 * time.Second, // Default
}
// Apply options
for _, opt := range opts {
opt(h)
}
return h
}
// Usage
handler := NewHandler(
tmplManager,
WithTimeout(10*time.Second),
WithLogger(logger),
)
```
## Interface-Based DI
### Define Interfaces
```go
// Define interface for dependencies
type TemplateRenderer interface {
Render(w io.Writer, name string, data interface{}) error
}
type DataLoader interface {
LoadCV(lang string) (*CV, error)
LoadUI(lang string) (*UI, error)
}
// Handler depends on interfaces, not concrete types
type Handler struct {
tmpl TemplateRenderer
data DataLoader
}
func NewHandler(tmpl TemplateRenderer, data DataLoader) *Handler {
return &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
data: data,
}
}
```
### Benefits of Interfaces
```go
// Easy to mock for testing
type MockRenderer struct {
RenderCalled bool
RenderError error
}
func (m *MockRenderer) Render(w io.Writer, name string, data interface{}) error {
m.RenderCalled = true
return m.RenderError
}
// Test with mock
func TestHandler(t *testing.T) {
mock := &MockRenderer{}
handler := NewHandler(mock, nil)
// Test
handler.Home(w, r)
// Verify
if !mock.RenderCalled {
t.Error("expected Render to be called")
}
}
```
## Dependency Injection Patterns
### 1. Constructor Injection (Most Common in Go)
```go
type Service struct {
db Database
}
func NewService(db Database) *Service {
return &Service{db: db}
}
```
### 2. Method Injection (Less Common)
```go
type Service struct {
// No db field
}
func (s *Service) Process(db Database, data Data) error {
// db passed per-method call
return db.Save(data)
}
```
### 3. Property Injection (Avoid in Go)
```go
// Not idiomatic Go
type Service struct {
DB Database // Public field set after construction
}
service := &Service{}
service.DB = db // Set dependency manually - DON'T DO THIS
```
## Testing with Dependency Injection
### Mock Dependencies
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_pages_test.go
func TestHome(t *testing.T) {
// Create real template manager for test
cfg := &config.TemplateConfig{
Dir: "../../templates",
PartialsDir: "../../templates/partials",
HotReload: true,
}
tmplManager, err := templates.NewManager(cfg)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
// Inject into handler
handler := handlers.NewCVHandler(tmplManager, "localhost:8080")
// Test
req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/?lang=en", nil)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler.Home(w, req)
// Verify
if w.Code != http.StatusOK {
t.Errorf("expected 200, got %d", w.Code)
}
}
```
### Test Doubles
```go
// Create test double that implements interface
type StubRenderer struct {
rendered bool
data interface{}
}
func (s *StubRenderer) Render(w io.Writer, name string, data interface{}) error {
s.rendered = true
s.data = data
fmt.Fprintf(w, "<html>Test</html>")
return nil
}
func TestWithStub(t *testing.T) {
stub := &StubRenderer{}
handler := NewHandler(stub, "test:8080")
handler.Home(w, req)
if !stub.rendered {
t.Error("expected template to be rendered")
}
}
```
## Dependency Injection Containers
Go doesn't have built-in DI containers like some languages, but libraries exist:
### Wire (Google)
```go
// wire.go
//go:build wireinject
import "github.com/google/wire"
func InitializeHandler() (*handlers.CVHandler, error) {
wire.Build(
config.Load,
templates.NewManager,
handlers.NewCVHandler,
)
return &handlers.CVHandler{}, nil
}
// Wire generates code at compile time
```
### Dig (Uber)
```go
import "go.uber.org/dig"
func main() {
container := dig.New()
// Register constructors
container.Provide(config.Load)
container.Provide(templates.NewManager)
container.Provide(handlers.NewCVHandler)
// Invoke
err := container.Invoke(func(h *handlers.CVHandler) {
// Use handler
})
}
```
### Manual Wiring (Recommended for Simple Apps)
```go
// main.go - Manual wiring is clear and simple
func main() {
cfg := config.Load()
tmpl, _ := templates.NewManager(cfg.Templates)
handler := handlers.NewCVHandler(tmpl, cfg.Server.Host)
// Clear dependency graph
}
```
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Accept dependencies via constructor
func NewHandler(db Database, logger Logger) *Handler {
return &Handler{db: db, logger: logger}
}
// Depend on interfaces, not concrete types
type Handler struct {
db Database // Interface
}
// Make dependencies explicit
func NewService(db Database, cache Cache, queue Queue) *Service {
// All dependencies visible in signature
}
// Validate dependencies
func NewHandler(db Database) (*Handler, error) {
if db == nil {
return nil, errors.New("database is required")
}
return &Handler{db: db}, nil
}
// Keep constructors simple
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *Handler {
return &Handler{tmpl: tmpl, host: host}
}
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T create dependencies inside components
func NewHandler() *Handler {
db := connectDatabase() // Wrong! Hard to test
return &Handler{db: db}
}
// DON'T use global variables
var globalDB Database
func (h *Handler) Save() {
globalDB.Save() // Wrong! Hidden dependency
}
// DON'T make dependencies public
type Handler struct {
DB Database // Wrong! Should be private
}
// DON'T over-complicate with DI containers for simple apps
// Manual wiring in main() is often clearer
```
## Circular Dependencies
### Problem
```go
// ServiceA depends on ServiceB
type ServiceA struct {
b *ServiceB
}
// ServiceB depends on ServiceA
type ServiceB struct {
a *ServiceA
}
// Can't construct either!
```
### Solution: Interfaces
```go
// Break cycle with interface
type BInterface interface {
DoB()
}
type ServiceA struct {
b BInterface // Depends on interface
}
type ServiceB struct {
// No dependency on A
}
func (b *ServiceB) DoB() {}
// Can construct
b := &ServiceB{}
a := &ServiceA{b: b}
```

# Template Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
The Template Pattern (not to be confused with Go's `html/template` package) defines the skeleton of an algorithm in a method, deferring some steps to subclasses or functions. In Go, this is often implemented through interfaces and composition rather than inheritance.
In this project's context, we also use Go's template system which provides a different kind of template pattern for rendering HTML.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Abstract template algorithm
type Processor interface {
Process() error
Validate() error
Transform() error
Save() error
}
// Concrete implementation
type DataProcessor struct {
// fields
}
func (p *DataProcessor) Process() error {
// Template method defines the algorithm
if err := p.Validate(); err != nil {
return err
}
if err := p.Transform(); err != nil {
return err
}
return p.Save()
}
// Steps can be customized
func (p *DataProcessor) Validate() error {
// Custom validation
}
```
## Real Implementation: Template Manager
### Template Manager Structure
```go
// internal/templates/manager.go
// Manager handles template rendering
type Manager struct {
templates map[string]*template.Template
config *config.TemplateConfig
mu sync.RWMutex
}
// NewManager creates and initializes template manager
func NewManager(config *config.TemplateConfig) (*Manager, error) {
m := &Manager{
templates: make(map[string]*template.Template),
config: config,
}
// Load templates on initialization
if err := m.loadTemplates(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return m, nil
}
```
### Template Loading Algorithm
```go
// loadTemplates follows a template algorithm pattern
func (m *Manager) loadTemplates() error {
// Step 1: Find template files
files, err := filepath.Glob(m.config.Dir + "/*.html")
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("glob templates: %w", err)
}
// Step 2: For each template file
for _, file := range files {
name := filepath.Base(file)
// Step 3: Create new template
tmpl := template.New(name)
// Step 4: Add custom functions
tmpl = tmpl.Funcs(m.customFunctions())
// Step 5: Parse main template
tmpl, err = tmpl.ParseFiles(file)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("parse template %s: %w", name, err)
}
// Step 6: Parse partials
partialsPattern := filepath.Join(m.config.PartialsDir, "*.html")
tmpl, err = tmpl.ParseGlob(partialsPattern)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("parse partials: %w", err)
}
// Step 7: Cache template
m.templates[name] = tmpl
}
log.Printf("Loaded %d templates", len(m.templates))
return nil
}
```
### Template Rendering Algorithm
```go
// Render follows a consistent algorithm for all templates
func (m *Manager) Render(w io.Writer, name string, data interface{}) error {
// Step 1: Acquire read lock
m.mu.RLock()
defer m.mu.RUnlock()
// Step 2: Hot reload check (development)
if m.config.HotReload {
// Temporarily upgrade to write lock
m.mu.RUnlock()
m.mu.Lock()
m.loadTemplates() // Reload templates
m.mu.Unlock()
m.mu.RLock()
}
// Step 3: Get template from cache
tmpl, ok := m.templates[name]
if !ok {
return fmt.Errorf("template not found: %s", name)
}
// Step 4: Execute template
err := tmpl.Execute(w, data)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("template execution: %w", err)
}
return nil
}
```
### Custom Functions
```go
// customFunctions returns template helper functions
func (m *Manager) customFunctions() template.FuncMap {
return template.FuncMap{
// String manipulation
"lower": strings.ToLower,
"upper": strings.ToUpper,
"title": strings.Title,
// Date formatting
"formatDate": func(date string) string {
if date == "" {
return "Present"
}
t, err := time.Parse("2006-01", date)
if err != nil {
return date
}
return t.Format("Jan 2006")
},
// Collections
"join": strings.Join,
// Conditionals
"eq": func(a, b interface{}) bool {
return a == b
},
// HTML
"safe": func(s string) template.HTML {
return template.HTML(s)
},
}
}
```
## Template Method Pattern Example
### Data Processing Pipeline
```go
// DataProcessor defines template method
type DataProcessor struct {
data []byte
}
// Process is the template method (algorithm skeleton)
func (p *DataProcessor) Process() error {
// Step 1: Validate
if err := p.Validate(); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("validation: %w", err)
}
// Step 2: Parse
parsed, err := p.Parse()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("parsing: %w", err)
}
// Step 3: Transform
transformed, err := p.Transform(parsed)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("transform: %w", err)
}
// Step 4: Save
if err := p.Save(transformed); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("save: %w", err)
}
return nil
}
// Customizable steps
func (p *DataProcessor) Validate() error {
if len(p.data) == 0 {
return errors.New("empty data")
}
return nil
}
func (p *DataProcessor) Parse() (interface{}, error) {
var result interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal(p.data, &result)
return result, err
}
func (p *DataProcessor) Transform(data interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
// Transform logic
return data, nil
}
func (p *DataProcessor) Save(data interface{}) error {
// Save logic
return nil
}
```
### Interface-Based Template Method
```go
// Define steps as interface
type Validator interface {
Validate() error
}
type Parser interface {
Parse([]byte) (interface{}, error)
}
type Transformer interface {
Transform(interface{}) (interface{}, error)
}
// Pipeline uses interfaces for customization
type Pipeline struct {
validator Validator
parser Parser
transformer Transformer
}
func NewPipeline(v Validator, p Parser, t Transformer) *Pipeline {
return &Pipeline{
validator: v,
parser: p,
transformer: t,
}
}
// Process is template method
func (p *Pipeline) Process(data []byte) (interface{}, error) {
// Fixed algorithm, customizable steps
if err := p.validator.Validate(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
parsed, err := p.parser.Parse(data)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
result, err := p.transformer.Transform(parsed)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return result, nil
}
```
## Template Pattern in Handler Processing
### Request Processing Template
```go
// Handler follows template method for all requests
func (h *CVHandler) processRequest(
w http.ResponseWriter,
r *http.Request,
templateName string,
) error {
// Step 1: Get preferences (same for all)
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
// Step 2: Validate language (same for all)
lang := r.URL.Query().Get("lang")
if lang == "" {
lang = prefs.CVLanguage
}
if err := validateLanguage(lang); err != nil {
return err
}
// Step 3: Prepare data (same algorithm, different data)
data, err := h.prepareTemplateData(lang)
if err != nil {
return err
}
// Step 4: Render template (different template name)
if err := h.tmpl.Render(w, templateName, data); err != nil {
return TemplateError(err)
}
return nil
}
// Handlers use the template
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
if err := h.processRequest(w, r, "index.html"); err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
}
}
func (h *CVHandler) CVContent(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
if err := h.processRequest(w, r, "partials/cv_content.html"); err != nil {
h.HandleError(w, r, err)
}
}
```
## Function-Based Template Pattern
### Using Higher-Order Functions
```go
// Template function accepts customization functions
func ProcessWithTemplate(
validate func() error,
transform func() (interface{}, error),
save func(interface{}) error,
) error {
// Template algorithm
if err := validate(); err != nil {
return err
}
data, err := transform()
if err != nil {
return err
}
return save(data)
}
// Usage with closures
err := ProcessWithTemplate(
func() error {
// Custom validation
return validateInput(input)
},
func() (interface{}, error) {
// Custom transformation
return transformData(input)
},
func(data interface{}) error {
// Custom save
return db.Save(data)
},
)
```
## Template Caching Pattern
### Cache Management
```go
// Template cache with thread-safe access
type TemplateCache struct {
templates map[string]*template.Template
mu sync.RWMutex
}
// Get retrieves from cache (or loads if missing)
func (c *TemplateCache) Get(name string) (*template.Template, error) {
// Try read lock first
c.mu.RLock()
tmpl, ok := c.templates[name]
c.mu.RUnlock()
if ok {
return tmpl, nil
}
// Not found, load with write lock
c.mu.Lock()
defer c.mu.Unlock()
// Double-check after acquiring write lock
if tmpl, ok := c.templates[name]; ok {
return tmpl, nil
}
// Load template
tmpl, err := template.ParseFiles(name)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
// Cache it
c.templates[name] = tmpl
return tmpl, nil
}
```
## Benefits
1. **Consistency**: Algorithm is consistent across all uses
2. **Customization**: Steps can be customized without changing algorithm
3. **Code Reuse**: Common algorithm logic is reused
4. **Maintainability**: Changes to algorithm are centralized
5. **Testability**: Steps can be tested independently
## Real-World Use Cases
### 1. HTTP Request Processing
```go
// All requests follow same template
func (h *Handler) handleRequest(
w http.ResponseWriter,
r *http.Request,
process func() (interface{}, error),
) {
// 1. Authentication
user := authenticate(r)
// 2. Authorization
if !authorize(user, r) {
http.Error(w, "Forbidden", http.StatusForbidden)
return
}
// 3. Process (customizable)
result, err := process()
if err != nil {
h.handleError(w, err)
return
}
// 4. Respond
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(result)
}
```
### 2. Data Migration
```go
// Migration template
type Migration interface {
Up() error
Down() error
}
type MigrationRunner struct {
migrations []Migration
}
func (r *MigrationRunner) Run() error {
for _, m := range r.migrations {
// Template: Begin → Execute → Commit/Rollback
tx := db.Begin()
if err := m.Up(); err != nil {
tx.Rollback()
return err
}
tx.Commit()
}
return nil
}
```
### 3. Test Setup/Teardown
```go
// Test template
type TestCase struct {
Name string
Setup func() error
Run func() error
Teardown func() error
}
func RunTestCase(tc *TestCase) error {
// Template algorithm
if err := tc.Setup(); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("setup: %w", err)
}
err := tc.Run()
// Always teardown, even on error
if teardownErr := tc.Teardown(); teardownErr != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("teardown: %w", teardownErr)
}
return err
}
```
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Define clear algorithm skeleton
func (p *Processor) Process() error {
if err := p.step1(); err != nil {
return err
}
if err := p.step2(); err != nil {
return err
}
return p.step3()
}
// Use interfaces for flexibility
type Step interface {
Execute() error
}
// Document the template algorithm
// Process executes the full processing pipeline:
// 1. Validate input
// 2. Transform data
// 3. Save result
func (p *Processor) Process() error {
// ...
}
// Make steps testable independently
func TestValidate(t *testing.T) {
p := &Processor{}
err := p.Validate()
// test validation logic
}
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T make algorithm too rigid
// Allow customization where appropriate
// DON'T mix concerns
// Keep template method focused on algorithm,
// not implementation details
// DON'T over-complicate
// If algorithm is simple, don't force template pattern
```
## Testing Template Methods
```go
func TestTemplateManager_Render(t *testing.T) {
// Test template algorithm
cfg := &config.TemplateConfig{
Dir: "testdata/templates",
PartialsDir: "testdata/partials",
HotReload: false,
}
manager, err := NewManager(cfg)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
// Test each step
t.Run("LoadTemplates", func(t *testing.T) {
if len(manager.templates) == 0 {
t.Error("expected templates to be loaded")
}
})
t.Run("Render", func(t *testing.T) {
var buf bytes.Buffer
data := map[string]string{"name": "Test"}
err := manager.Render(&buf, "test.html", data)
if err != nil {
t.Errorf("render failed: %v", err)
}
if buf.Len() == 0 {
t.Error("expected rendered output")
}
})
}
```

# Singleton Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
The Singleton Pattern ensures that a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it. In Go, this is typically achieved through package-level variables and `sync.Once` for thread-safe initialization.
## Pattern Structure
```go
var (
instance *Singleton
once sync.Once
)
func GetInstance() *Singleton {
once.Do(func() {
instance = &Singleton{
// initialization
}
})
return instance
}
```
## Real Implementation: Configuration Singleton
### Configuration Loading
```go
// internal/config/config.go
var (
instance *Config
once sync.Once
)
// Config holds application configuration
type Config struct {
Server ServerConfig
Templates TemplateConfig
}
// Load returns singleton configuration instance
func Load() *Config {
once.Do(func() {
instance = &Config{
Server: ServerConfig{
Host: getEnvOrDefault("HOST", "localhost"),
Port: getEnvOrDefault("PORT", ":8080"),
},
Templates: TemplateConfig{
Dir: getEnvOrDefault("TEMPLATE_DIR", "templates"),
PartialsDir: getEnvOrDefault("PARTIALS_DIR", "templates/partials"),
HotReload: getBoolEnv("HOT_RELOAD", true),
},
}
})
return instance
}
func getEnvOrDefault(key, defaultValue string) string {
if value := os.Getenv(key); value != "" {
return value
}
return defaultValue
}
```
### Template Manager Singleton
```go
// In a larger application, template manager might be singleton
var (
templateManager *templates.Manager
tmplOnce sync.Once
)
func GetTemplateManager() (*templates.Manager, error) {
var err error
tmplOnce.Do(func() {
cfg := Load() // Get config singleton
templateManager, err = templates.NewManager(cfg.Templates)
})
return templateManager, err
}
```
## Thread-Safe Singleton
### Using sync.Once
```go
// sync.Once guarantees initialization happens exactly once
type Database struct {
conn *sql.DB
}
var (
db *Database
once sync.Once
)
func GetDatabase() (*Database, error) {
var err error
once.Do(func() {
db = &Database{}
db.conn, err = sql.Open("postgres", "connection-string")
if err != nil {
db = nil // Reset on error
}
})
if db == nil {
return nil, err
}
return db, nil
}
```
### Thread-Safety Comparison
```go
// ❌ NOT thread-safe
var instance *Singleton
func GetInstance() *Singleton {
if instance == nil { // Race condition!
instance = &Singleton{}
}
return instance
}
// ✅ Thread-safe with mutex (but slower)
var (
instance *Singleton
mu sync.Mutex
)
func GetInstance() *Singleton {
mu.Lock()
defer mu.Unlock()
if instance == nil {
instance = &Singleton{}
}
return instance
}
// ✅ Thread-safe with sync.Once (best)
var (
instance *Singleton
once sync.Once
)
func GetInstance() *Singleton {
once.Do(func() {
instance = &Singleton{}
})
return instance
}
```
## Singleton vs Package-Level Variables
### Simple Package-Level Variable
```go
// For simple, non-lazy initialization
package logger
var std = New(os.Stdout, InfoLevel)
func Info(msg string) {
std.Log(InfoLevel, msg)
}
func Debug(msg string) {
std.Log(DebugLevel, msg)
}
```
### When to Use Singleton vs Package Variable
**Use Singleton (sync.Once) when:**
- Initialization is expensive
- Initialization might fail
- Need lazy initialization
- Need thread-safe initialization
**Use Package Variable when:**
- Initialization is cheap
- Initialization always succeeds
- Want immediate initialization
- Simple, stateless utility
## Singleton Use Cases
### 1. Configuration
```go
// config/config.go
var (
cfg *Config
once sync.Once
)
func Load() *Config {
once.Do(func() {
cfg = &Config{}
// Load from file, env, etc.
cfg.loadFromEnv()
cfg.loadFromFile()
})
return cfg
}
```
### 2. Database Connection Pool
```go
// database/db.go
var (
pool *sql.DB
once sync.Once
)
func GetPool() (*sql.DB, error) {
var err error
once.Do(func() {
pool, err = sql.Open("postgres", getConnectionString())
if err != nil {
return
}
pool.SetMaxOpenConns(25)
pool.SetMaxIdleConns(5)
err = pool.Ping()
if err != nil {
pool.Close()
pool = nil
}
})
if pool == nil {
return nil, err
}
return pool, nil
}
```
### 3. Logger
```go
// logger/logger.go
var (
logger *Logger
once sync.Once
)
type Logger struct {
writer io.Writer
level Level
}
func Get() *Logger {
once.Do(func() {
logger = &Logger{
writer: os.Stdout,
level: InfoLevel,
}
})
return logger
}
// Convenience functions
func Info(msg string) {
Get().Log(InfoLevel, msg)
}
func Error(msg string) {
Get().Log(ErrorLevel, msg)
}
```
### 4. Cache
```go
// cache/cache.go
var (
cache *Cache
once sync.Once
)
type Cache struct {
data map[string]interface{}
mu sync.RWMutex
}
func Get() *Cache {
once.Do(func() {
cache = &Cache{
data: make(map[string]interface{}),
}
})
return cache
}
func Set(key string, value interface{}) {
c := Get()
c.mu.Lock()
defer c.mu.Unlock()
c.data[key] = value
}
func Retrieve(key string) (interface{}, bool) {
c := Get()
c.mu.RLock()
defer c.mu.RUnlock()
val, ok := c.data[key]
return val, ok
}
```
## Anti-Pattern: Global State
### Problem
```go
// ❌ BAD: Mutable global state
var Config = &AppConfig{
Timeout: 30,
}
func main() {
Config.Timeout = 60 // Mutating global state
// Hard to test, unpredictable behavior
}
```
### Solution: Immutable Singleton
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Immutable singleton
var (
config *Config
once sync.Once
)
func GetConfig() *Config {
once.Do(func() {
config = &Config{
Timeout: 30,
}
})
return config // Read-only access
}
// To change config, create new instance
func WithTimeout(timeout int) *Config {
old := GetConfig()
return &Config{
Timeout: timeout,
// Copy other fields from old
}
}
```
## Testing Singletons
### Problem with Testing
```go
// Singleton makes testing difficult
func TestFeature(t *testing.T) {
instance := GetInstance()
instance.value = "test1"
// Test 1 passes
// But now instance.value is "test1" for next test!
}
```
### Solution: Reset for Tests
```go
// Add reset function for tests
func ResetForTest() {
once = sync.Once{}
instance = nil
}
func TestFeature(t *testing.T) {
defer ResetForTest()
instance := GetInstance()
instance.value = "test1"
// Test with clean state
}
```
### Alternative: Dependency Injection
```go
// Instead of singleton, use DI for testability
type Handler struct {
config *Config // Injected, not singleton
}
func NewHandler(config *Config) *Handler {
return &Handler{config: config}
}
// Easy to test with different configs
func TestHandler(t *testing.T) {
testConfig := &Config{Timeout: 10}
handler := NewHandler(testConfig)
// Test with test config
}
```
## Singleton Variations
### 1. Eager Initialization
```go
// Initialize at package load time
var instance = &Singleton{
// initialization
}
func GetInstance() *Singleton {
return instance
}
```
### 2. Lazy Initialization
```go
// Initialize on first use
var (
instance *Singleton
once sync.Once
)
func GetInstance() *Singleton {
once.Do(func() {
instance = &Singleton{}
})
return instance
}
```
### 3. With Error Handling
```go
var (
instance *Singleton
once sync.Once
err error
)
func GetInstance() (*Singleton, error) {
once.Do(func() {
instance, err = initialize()
})
return instance, err
}
func initialize() (*Singleton, error) {
s := &Singleton{}
if err := s.connect(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return s, nil
}
```
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Use sync.Once for thread-safety
var once sync.Once
// Make fields private
type Singleton struct {
privateField string
}
// Provide accessor methods
func (s *Singleton) GetValue() string {
return s.privateField
}
// Handle initialization errors
func GetInstance() (*Singleton, error) {
var err error
once.Do(func() {
instance, err = newSingleton()
})
return instance, err
}
// Document singleton nature
// GetDatabase returns the singleton database connection pool.
// Thread-safe and initialized lazily on first call.
func GetDatabase() *Database {
// ...
}
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T use mutable global state
var GlobalConfig Config // Mutable!
// DON'T forget thread-safety
if instance == nil { // Race condition!
instance = &Singleton{}
}
// DON'T make everything a singleton
// Only use for truly global, single-instance resources
// DON'T ignore errors in initialization
once.Do(func() {
instance, _ = newSingleton() // Ignoring error!
})
```
## When NOT to Use Singleton
1. **Testing is Important**: Dependency injection is better
2. **Multiple Instances Needed**: Use factory pattern
3. **State Changes**: Avoid mutable singletons
4. **Simple Utilities**: Use package functions
5. **Request-Scoped**: Use context pattern
## Alternatives to Singleton
### Dependency Injection
```go
// Better for testability
type Handler struct {
config *Config // Injected
db *DB // Injected
}
func NewHandler(config *Config, db *DB) *Handler {
return &Handler{config: config, db: db}
}
```
### Context Values
```go
// For request-scoped "singletons"
ctx := context.WithValue(ctx, ConfigKey, config)
// Retrieve in handler
config := ctx.Value(ConfigKey).(*Config)
```
### Package Functions
```go
// For stateless utilities
package mathutil
func Max(a, b int) int {
if a > b {
return a
}
return b
}
// No singleton needed
```

# Factory Pattern in Go
## Pattern Overview
The Factory Pattern provides an interface for creating objects without specifying the exact class of object that will be created. In Go, this is typically implemented through constructor functions that encapsulate complex object creation logic.
## Pattern Structure
```go
// Factory function
func NewObject(config Config) (*Object, error) {
// Complex initialization logic
obj := &Object{
field1: config.Value1,
field2: config.Value2,
}
// Validation
if err := obj.validate(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
// Setup
if err := obj.initialize(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return obj, nil
}
```
## Real Implementation: Error Factories
### Domain Error Constructors
```go
// internal/handlers/errors.go
// NewDomainError is the base error factory
func NewDomainError(code ErrorCode, message string, statusCode int) *DomainError {
return &DomainError{
Code: code,
Message: message,
StatusCode: statusCode,
}
}
// Specific error factories
func InvalidLanguageError(lang string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeInvalidLanguage,
fmt.Sprintf("Unsupported language: %s (use 'en' or 'es')", lang),
http.StatusBadRequest,
).WithField("lang")
}
func InvalidLengthError(length string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeInvalidLength,
fmt.Sprintf("Invalid CV length: %s (use 'short' or 'long')", length),
http.StatusBadRequest,
).WithField("length")
}
func PDFGenerationError(err error) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodePDFGeneration,
"Failed to generate PDF. Please try again.",
http.StatusInternalServerError,
).WithErr(err)
}
func DataNotFoundError(dataType, lang string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeDataNotFound,
fmt.Sprintf("%s data not found for language: %s", dataType, lang),
http.StatusInternalServerError,
)
}
```
### Response Factories
```go
// internal/handlers/types.go
// NewAPIResponse creates a success response
func NewAPIResponse(data interface{}) *APIResponse {
return &APIResponse{
Success: true,
Data: data,
Meta: &MetaInfo{
Timestamp: time.Now(),
},
}
}
// NewErrorResponse creates an error response
func NewErrorResponse(code, message string) *APIResponse {
return &APIResponse{
Success: false,
Error: &ErrorInfo{
Code: code,
Message: message,
},
Meta: &MetaInfo{
Timestamp: time.Now(),
},
}
}
// NewPDFExportRequest creates a validated PDF export request
func NewPDFExportRequest() *PDFExportRequest {
return &PDFExportRequest{
Lang: "en",
Length: "short",
Icons: "show",
Version: "with_skills",
}
}
```
## Handler Factories
### CVHandler Factory
```go
// internal/handlers/cv.go
// NewCVHandler creates a new CV handler with all dependencies
func NewCVHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, host string) *CVHandler {
return &CVHandler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}
}
// With validation
func NewCVHandlerWithValidation(
tmpl *templates.Manager,
host string,
) (*CVHandler, error) {
if tmpl == nil {
return nil, errors.New("template manager is required")
}
if host == "" {
return nil, errors.New("host is required")
}
return &CVHandler{
tmpl: tmpl,
host: host,
}, nil
}
```
### Template Manager Factory
```go
// internal/templates/manager.go
// NewManager creates and initializes a template manager
func NewManager(config *config.TemplateConfig) (*Manager, error) {
// Validate config
if config == nil {
return nil, errors.New("config is required")
}
if config.Dir == "" {
return nil, errors.New("template directory is required")
}
// Create manager
m := &Manager{
templates: make(map[string]*template.Template),
config: config,
}
// Load templates
if err := m.loadTemplates(); err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("load templates: %w", err)
}
log.Printf("Template manager initialized with %d templates", len(m.templates))
return m, nil
}
```
## Factory with Options Pattern
### Functional Options
```go
// Option function type
type HandlerOption func(*Handler)
// Option constructors
func WithTimeout(d time.Duration) HandlerOption {
return func(h *Handler) {
h.timeout = d
}
}
func WithMaxRetries(n int) HandlerOption {
return func(h *Handler) {
h.maxRetries = n
}
}
func WithLogger(logger Logger) HandlerOption {
return func(h *Handler) {
h.logger = logger
}
}
// Factory with options
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, opts ...HandlerOption) *Handler {
h := &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
timeout: 30 * time.Second, // Defaults
maxRetries: 3,
logger: &DefaultLogger{},
}
// Apply options
for _, opt := range opts {
opt(h)
}
return h
}
// Usage
handler := NewHandler(
tmplManager,
WithTimeout(10*time.Second),
WithMaxRetries(5),
WithLogger(customLogger),
)
```
### Options Struct
```go
// Options struct approach
type HandlerOptions struct {
Timeout time.Duration
MaxRetries int
Logger Logger
}
// DefaultOptions provides sensible defaults
func DefaultOptions() *HandlerOptions {
return &HandlerOptions{
Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
MaxRetries: 3,
Logger: &DefaultLogger{},
}
}
// Factory with options
func NewHandler(tmpl *templates.Manager, opts *HandlerOptions) *Handler {
if opts == nil {
opts = DefaultOptions()
}
return &Handler{
tmpl: tmpl,
timeout: opts.Timeout,
maxRetries: opts.MaxRetries,
logger: opts.Logger,
}
}
// Usage
handler := NewHandler(tmplManager, &HandlerOptions{
Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
MaxRetries: 5,
})
```
## Abstract Factory Pattern
### Database Factory
```go
// Database interface
type Database interface {
Query(query string) (Result, error)
Close() error
}
// Concrete implementations
type PostgresDB struct {
conn *sql.DB
}
type MySQLDB struct {
conn *sql.DB
}
type SQLiteDB struct {
conn *sql.DB
}
// Factory function
func NewDatabase(dbType, connString string) (Database, error) {
switch dbType {
case "postgres":
conn, err := sql.Open("postgres", connString)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return &PostgresDB{conn: conn}, nil
case "mysql":
conn, err := sql.Open("mysql", connString)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return &MySQLDB{conn: conn}, nil
case "sqlite":
conn, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", connString)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return &SQLiteDB{conn: conn}, nil
default:
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unsupported database type: %s", dbType)
}
}
// Usage
db, err := NewDatabase("postgres", "connection-string")
```
## Factory with Builder Pattern
### Request Builder
```go
// Builder pattern for complex object construction
type RequestBuilder struct {
req *http.Request
err error
}
// NewRequestBuilder creates a new request builder
func NewRequestBuilder(method, url string) *RequestBuilder {
req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, nil)
return &RequestBuilder{
req: req,
err: err,
}
}
// Builder methods
func (b *RequestBuilder) WithHeader(key, value string) *RequestBuilder {
if b.err != nil {
return b
}
b.req.Header.Set(key, value)
return b
}
func (b *RequestBuilder) WithBody(body io.Reader) *RequestBuilder {
if b.err != nil {
return b
}
b.req.Body = io.NopCloser(body)
return b
}
func (b *RequestBuilder) WithContext(ctx context.Context) *RequestBuilder {
if b.err != nil {
return b
}
b.req = b.req.WithContext(ctx)
return b
}
// Build finalizes and returns the request
func (b *RequestBuilder) Build() (*http.Request, error) {
return b.req, b.err
}
// Usage
req, err := NewRequestBuilder("POST", "https://api.example.com").
WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json").
WithBody(bytes.NewBuffer(data)).
WithContext(ctx).
Build()
```
## Factory Method Pattern
### Data Loader Factory
```go
// Loader interface
type DataLoader interface {
Load(lang string) (interface{}, error)
}
// Concrete loaders
type CVLoader struct{}
func (l *CVLoader) Load(lang string) (interface{}, error) {
return cvmodel.LoadCV(lang)
}
type UILoader struct{}
func (l *UILoader) Load(lang string) (interface{}, error) {
return uimodel.LoadUI(lang)
}
// Factory method
func NewLoader(loaderType string) (DataLoader, error) {
switch loaderType {
case "cv":
return &CVLoader{}, nil
case "ui":
return &UILoader{}, nil
default:
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unknown loader type: %s", loaderType)
}
}
// Usage
loader, err := NewLoader("cv")
if err != nil {
return err
}
data, err := loader.Load("en")
```
## Factory Registry Pattern
### Handler Registry
```go
// Handler factory registry
type HandlerFactory func() http.Handler
var handlerRegistry = make(map[string]HandlerFactory)
// Register handler factory
func RegisterHandler(name string, factory HandlerFactory) {
handlerRegistry[name] = factory
}
// Get handler from registry
func GetHandler(name string) (http.Handler, error) {
factory, ok := handlerRegistry[name]
if !ok {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("handler not found: %s", name)
}
return factory(), nil
}
// Register handlers at init
func init() {
RegisterHandler("home", func() http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(handleHome)
})
RegisterHandler("about", func() http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(handleAbout)
})
}
// Usage
handler, err := GetHandler("home")
```
## Real-World Factory Examples
### 1. HTTP Client Factory
```go
// NewHTTPClient creates configured HTTP client
func NewHTTPClient(timeout time.Duration, maxRetries int) *http.Client {
return &http.Client{
Timeout: timeout,
Transport: &http.Transport{
MaxIdleConns: 100,
MaxIdleConnsPerHost: 10,
IdleConnTimeout: 90 * time.Second,
},
}
}
// With retry logic
func NewRetryableHTTPClient(timeout time.Duration, maxRetries int) *http.Client {
client := NewHTTPClient(timeout, maxRetries)
// Wrap with retry logic
return client
}
```
### 2. Logger Factory
```go
// Logger factory with different outputs
func NewLogger(output string) (*log.Logger, error) {
switch output {
case "stdout":
return log.New(os.Stdout, "[APP] ", log.LstdFlags), nil
case "stderr":
return log.New(os.Stderr, "[APP] ", log.LstdFlags), nil
case "file":
f, err := os.OpenFile("app.log", os.O_CREATE|os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return log.New(f, "[APP] ", log.LstdFlags), nil
default:
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unknown output: %s", output)
}
}
```
### 3. Middleware Factory
```go
// Middleware factory
func NewAuthMiddleware(tokenValidator TokenValidator) func(http.Handler) http.Handler {
return func(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
token := r.Header.Get("Authorization")
if err := tokenValidator.Validate(token); err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Unauthorized", http.StatusUnauthorized)
return
}
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
}
// Usage
authMiddleware := NewAuthMiddleware(&JWTValidator{})
handler := authMiddleware(myHandler)
```
## Benefits
1. **Encapsulation**: Complex creation logic is hidden
2. **Consistency**: All objects created the same way
3. **Flexibility**: Easy to change implementation
4. **Testability**: Easy to create test objects
5. **Validation**: Centralized validation in factory
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
```go
// Validate inputs in factory
func NewHandler(config *Config) (*Handler, error) {
if config == nil {
return nil, errors.New("config is required")
}
return &Handler{config: config}, nil
}
// Return errors for creation failures
func NewDatabase(connString string) (*Database, error) {
db, err := sql.Open("postgres", connString)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("open database: %w", err)
}
return &Database{db: db}, nil
}
// Provide sensible defaults
func NewHandler(opts *Options) *Handler {
if opts == nil {
opts = DefaultOptions()
}
return &Handler{opts: opts}
}
// Use descriptive factory names
func NewRetryableHTTPClient(...) *http.Client
func NewCachedDatabase(...) *Database
func NewBufferedWriter(...) *Writer
```
### ❌ DON'T
```go
// DON'T return panics from factories
func NewHandler() *Handler {
config := loadConfig()
if config == nil {
panic("no config") // Wrong! Return error
}
return &Handler{config: config}
}
// DON'T ignore errors
func NewHandler() *Handler {
db, _ := connectDB() // Wrong! Handle error
return &Handler{db: db}
}
// DON'T make factories too complex
func NewHandler(...20 parameters...) *Handler {
// Too many parameters! Use options pattern
}
```
## Testing Factories
```go
func TestNewHandler(t *testing.T) {
t.Run("Valid config", func(t *testing.T) {
config := &Config{Timeout: 10}
handler, err := NewHandler(config)
if err != nil {
t.Errorf("unexpected error: %v", err)
}
if handler == nil {
t.Error("expected handler, got nil")
}
})
t.Run("Nil config", func(t *testing.T) {
handler, err := NewHandler(nil)
if err == nil {
t.Error("expected error for nil config")
}
if handler != nil {
t.Error("expected nil handler")
}
})
}
```

## When to Use Each Pattern
### Middleware Pattern
✓ Cross-cutting concerns (logging, auth, CORS)
✓ Request/response modification
✓ Chain-of-responsibility needs
✗ Business logic (use handlers instead)
### Handler Pattern
✓ HTTP request handling
✓ Route-specific logic
✓ Organizing endpoints by resource
✗ Generic utilities (use packages instead)
### Context Pattern
✓ Request-scoped values (user, preferences)
✓ Cancellation signals
✓ Deadlines and timeouts
✗ Function parameters (use explicit params)
### Error Wrapping
✓ Adding context to errors
✓ Preserving error chains
✓ Debug information
✗ Simple errors (use errors.New)
### Dependency Injection
✓ Decoupling components
✓ Testing with mocks
✓ Configuration flexibility
✗ Simple functions (use direct calls)
### Template Pattern
✓ Flexible rendering
✓ HTML generation
✓ Hot reload in development
✗ JSON APIs (use direct encoding)
### Singleton Pattern
✓ Shared resources (DB, cache)
✓ Configuration managers
✓ Template engines
✗ Stateless utilities (use packages)
### Factory Pattern
✓ Complex object creation
✓ Consistent initialization
✓ Error construction
✗ Simple structs (use literals)
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
### ❌ Global State
```go
// BAD: Mutable global variable
var globalConfig Config
// GOOD: Pass as dependency
func NewHandler(config *Config) *Handler
```
### ❌ Panic for Flow Control
```go
// BAD: Using panic for expected errors
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// GOOD: Return errors
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err)
}
```
### ❌ Ignoring Errors
```go
// BAD: Ignoring error
_ = json.Unmarshal(data, &result)
// GOOD: Handle error
if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &result); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("unmarshal: %w", err)
}
```
### ❌ Context in Structs
```go
// BAD: Storing context in struct
type Handler struct {
ctx context.Context
}
// GOOD: Pass context as first parameter
func (h *Handler) Handle(ctx context.Context, w, r)
```
### ❌ Naked Returns
```go
// BAD: Naked return with named results
func process() (result string, err error) {
result = "foo"
return // Confusing!
}
// GOOD: Explicit return
func process() (string, error) {
result := "foo"
return result, nil
}
```

## 🔴 The Problem
### Current State
The file `internal/models/cv.go` (301 lines) contains **two completely different concerns**:
1. **Domain Models (lines 13-158)**: Business logic and CV data structures
- `CV`, `Personal`, `Experience`, `Education`, `Skills`, `Language`, `Project`, etc.
- Represents the **core business domain** of a curriculum vitae
- Data that comes from `data/cv-{lang}.json`
2. **Presentation Models (lines 160-215)**: UI configuration and translations
- `UI`, `InfoModal`, `ShortcutsModal`, `TechStack`, `ShortcutGroup`, etc.
- Represents **user interface state** and internationalization
- Data that comes from `data/ui-{lang}.json`
### Why Is This a Problem?
```go
// Current: Everything mixed together
package models
type CV struct { ... } // Business domain
type Experience struct { ... } // Business domain
type UI struct { ... } // Presentation layer!?
type InfoModal struct { ... } // Presentation layer!?
```
**Violations**:
-**Single Responsibility Principle**: One file doing two jobs
-**Separation of Concerns**: Business logic mixed with UI logic
-**Scalability**: Hard to grow either domain independently
-**Testability**: Can't test CV logic without UI types in scope
-**Clarity**: New developers confused about boundaries
---
## 🎯 Why This Matters
### 1. **Separation of Concerns** (Fundamental Design Principle)
> "A module should be responsible to one, and only one, actor." - Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob)
In our case, we have **two actors**:
- **Business stakeholders**: Care about CV data structure, validation, completeness
- **UI/UX designers**: Care about modal content, keyboard shortcuts, translations
Mixing these concerns means:
- Changes to UI translations force recompilation of CV business logic
- Testing CV data loading requires UI types in memory
- Can't reason about one domain without understanding the other
### 2. **Go's Package Philosophy**
Go encourages **small, focused packages** that do one thing well:
```go
// Go standard library examples
import "net/http" // HTTP client/server
import "encoding/json" // JSON encoding
import "html/template" // HTML templating
// NOT like this (anti-pattern):
import "net/everything" // HTTP, WebSocket, RPC, all mixed
```
**Key Insight**: Go packages are the **primary means of abstraction**. Unlike Java/C# where classes are primary, in Go you think in packages.
### 3. **Dependency Management**
```
Current (Bad):
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ internal/handlers/cv.go │
│ (imports "models" - gets BOTH │
│ CV domain AND UI presentation)│
└─────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ internal/models/cv.go │
│ CV domain + UI presentation │
│ (300+ lines, mixed concerns) │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
Future (Good):
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ internal/handlers/cv.go │
│ (imports BOTH packages, but │
│ can choose what to import) │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
▼ ▼
┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐
│ models/cv│ │ models/ui│
│ (domain)│ │ (present)│
└──────────┘ └──────────┘
```
**Benefits**:
- Handlers can import just `models/cv` if they don't need UI
- PDF generator doesn't need to know about modals
- API endpoints can return CV data without UI overhead
### 4. **Testing Independence**
```go
// With separated packages, you can test CV logic without UI:
// cv/loader_test.go
func TestLoadCV(t *testing.T) {
cv, err := cv.LoadCV("en")
// Test ONLY CV business logic
// No UI types needed, faster compilation
}
// ui/loader_test.go
func TestLoadUI(t *testing.T) {
ui, err := ui.LoadUI("en")
// Test ONLY UI translations
// No CV types needed
}
```
### 5. **Scalability**
As the project grows:
```
CV domain might add:
- Validation logic
- Export formats (PDF, Word, LinkedIn)
- Version control
- Analytics
- Recommendations engine
UI domain might add:
- More modals
- Theme configurations
- Accessibility settings
- User preferences
- A/B testing configs
With separation: Each grows independently
Without separation: 1000+ line monolithic file
```

## 💡 The Solution
### Target Package Structure
```
internal/models/
├── cv/ # CV Domain Package
│ ├── cv.go # Core CV types (CV, Personal, etc.)
│ ├── loader.go # LoadCV() + data loading logic
│ └── loader_test.go # Unit tests for CV loading
├── ui/ # UI Presentation Package
│ ├── ui.go # UI types (UI, InfoModal, etc.)
│ ├── loader.go # LoadUI() + data loading logic
│ └── loader_test.go # Unit tests for UI loading
└── cv.go (DEPRECATED) # Optional compatibility layer
```
### Why This Structure?
#### 1. **Package Names Reveal Intent**
```go
import "github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models/cv"
import "github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models/ui"
```
Just from the import, you know:
- `cv` = Business domain logic
- `ui` = Presentation layer logic
#### 2. **File Names Are Self-Documenting**
```
cv/loader.go → "This loads CV data"
ui/loader.go → "This loads UI translations"
```
No need to read 300 lines to find what you need.
#### 3. **Tests Live Alongside Code** (Go Convention)
```
cv/cv.go → CV type definitions
cv/loader.go → CV loading logic
cv/loader_test.go → Tests for loader.go
```
Go's tooling expects `*_test.go` files in the same directory as the code they test.

## 🏗️ Deep Dive: Go Package Philosophy
### What Makes a Good Go Package?
#### Principle 1: **Cohesion**
> "Things that change together should be packaged together."
**Good**: All CV types in one package (they change when business requirements change)
**Bad**: CV types mixed with UI types (they change for different reasons)
#### Principle 2: **Minimal API Surface**
> "Export only what's necessary."
```go
// cv/loader.go
// Exported (public API)
func LoadCV(lang string) (*CV, error) { ... }
// Unexported (internal helper)
func findDataFile(filename string) (string, error) { ... }
func replaceYearPlaceholder(url, year string) string { ... }
```
**Why unexport helpers?**
- Smaller public API = easier to maintain
- Can refactor internals without breaking clients
- Forces callers to use the high-level `LoadCV()` interface
#### Principle 3: **No Circular Dependencies**
Go compiler **forbids** package cycles:
```go
// This will NOT compile:
package cv
import "ui" // cv depends on ui
package ui
import "cv" // ui depends on cv
// ERROR: import cycle not allowed
```
**Our design avoids this**:
```
handlers → cv
handlers → ui
cv → (nothing)
ui → (nothing)
```
Clean one-way dependency flow!
#### Principle 4: **Package Names Are Part of the API**
```go
// BAD: Stutter
cv.CVLoader() // "CV" mentioned twice
cv.LoadCVData() // Redundant
// GOOD: Clear, concise
cv.LoadCV() // Package name + function name = clear intent
ui.LoadUI() // Same pattern
```
When you import `cv`, it's obvious everything in it relates to CV domain.

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Clear separation of concerns
- ✅ Can import `cv` without `ui` (and vice versa)
- ✅ Independent testing of each domain
- ✅ Easier to navigate and understand
- ✅ Scales as project grows

---
## 🔧 Implementation Steps
### Phase 1: Create New Package Structure ✅
```bash
mkdir -p internal/models/cv
mkdir -p internal/models/ui
```
### Phase 2: Extract CV Domain Types ✅
**File: `internal/models/cv/cv.go`**
- Move: `CV`, `Personal`, `Experience`, `Education`, `Skills`, `SkillCategory`, `Language`, `Project`, `Award`, `Certification`, `Course`, `Reference`, `Other`, `Meta`
- Keep: JSON tags, struct tags, comments
**File: `internal/models/cv/loader.go`**
- Move: `LoadCV()` function
- Move: `findDataFile()` helper
- Move: `replaceYearPlaceholder()` helper
- Add: Package-level documentation
### Phase 3: Extract UI Presentation Types ✅
**File: `internal/models/ui/ui.go`**
- Move: `UI`, `InfoModal`, `TechStack`, `ShortcutsModal`, `ShortcutsSections`, `ShortcutGroup`, `ShortcutItem`
**File: `internal/models/ui/loader.go`**
- Move: `LoadUI()` function
- Duplicate: `findDataFile()` helper (or create shared util)
### Phase 4: Update Handler Imports 🔄
**File: `internal/handlers/cv.go`**
```go
// Before:
import "github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models"
// After:
import (
cvmodel "github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models/cv"
uimodel "github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models/ui"
)
```
**Why the aliases?**
- `cvmodel` and `uimodel` prevent shadowing of `cv` and `ui` variables
- Common Go pattern when package name conflicts with variable names
### Phase 5: Create Tests ✅
**File: `internal/models/cv/loader_test.go`**
- Test `LoadCV()` for both languages
- Test error cases (invalid language, missing file)
- Test year placeholder replacement
**File: `internal/models/ui/loader_test.go`**
- Test `LoadUI()` for both languages
- Test error cases
### Phase 6: Validation 🔄
```bash
# Compile check
go build ./...
# Run tests
go test ./internal/models/cv/...
go test ./internal/models/ui/...
# Start server
make run
# Test endpoints
curl http://localhost:1999/?lang=en
curl http://localhost:1999/?lang=es
```

## 🧪 Testing Strategy
### Test Organization
```
Frontend Tests (EXISTING - DON'T TOUCH):
tests/
├── mjs/
│ ├── 01-*.test.mjs # E2E tests
│ ├── 29-pdf-toast-*.test.mjs
│ └── ...
└── (Bun/JavaScript tests for full UX)
Backend Tests (NEW - GO TESTS):
internal/
├── models/
│ ├── cv/
│ │ ├── cv.go
│ │ ├── loader.go
│ │ └── loader_test.go # Unit tests for CV package
│ └── ui/
│ ├── ui.go
│ ├── loader.go
│ └── loader_test.go # Unit tests for UI package
└── handlers/
├── cv.go
└── cv_test.go # Integration tests for handlers
```
### Test Types
#### 1. **Unit Tests** (Fast, Isolated)
```go
// internal/models/cv/loader_test.go
func TestLoadCV_ValidLanguage(t *testing.T) {
cv, err := LoadCV("en")
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("LoadCV failed: %v", err)
}
if cv.Personal.Name == "" {
t.Error("Expected CV to have a name")
}
}
```
**Purpose**: Test individual functions in isolation
#### 2. **Integration Tests** (Medium Speed)
```go
// internal/handlers/cv_test.go
func TestHomeHandler_ReturnsCV(t *testing.T) {
req := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "/?lang=en", nil)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler.Home(w, req)
if w.Code != 200 {
t.Errorf("Expected 200, got %d", w.Code)
}
}
```
**Purpose**: Test how components work together
#### 3. **E2E Tests** (Existing, Don't Touch)
```javascript
// tests/mjs/01-*.test.mjs
test('CV loads in English', async () => {
await page.goto('http://localhost:1999/?lang=en');
await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('CV');
});
```
**Purpose**: Test full user experience (UI + backend + interactions)
### Why This Separation?
| Test Type | Speed | Scope | When to Run |
|-----------|-------|-------|-------------|
| **Go Unit** | ⚡ Fast (ms) | Single function | Every save, pre-commit |
| **Go Integration** | 🏃 Medium (100ms) | Multiple components | Pre-push, CI |
| **E2E Frontend** | 🐌 Slow (seconds) | Full application | Pre-deploy, nightly |
**Philosophy**:
- **Unit tests**: Catch bugs early, run constantly
- **Integration tests**: Verify components work together
- **E2E tests**: Ensure user experience is intact
---
## 📚 Lessons Learned
### 1. **Go Package Design Is an Art**
Creating packages isn't about file organization—it's about **domain boundaries**.
**Bad approach**: "Let's split cv.go because it's too long"
**Good approach**: "Let's separate CV domain from UI domain because they have different responsibilities"
### 2. **Duplication vs. Abstraction**
We duplicated `findDataFile()` in both `cv/loader.go` and `ui/loader.go`.
**Why?**
- It's a small function (17 lines)
- Creates **package independence** (no shared dependencies)
- Avoids premature abstraction
**Rule of thumb**: "Duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction." - Sandi Metz
### 3. **Import Aliases Save Pain**
```go
// Without aliases (BAD):
import "github.com/.../models/cv"
func Home() {
cv, _ := cv.LoadCV("en") // ERROR: cv.cv? Confusing!
}
// With aliases (GOOD):
import cvmodel "github.com/.../models/cv"
func Home() {
cv, _ := cvmodel.LoadCV("en") // Clear!
}
```
### 4. **Tests Are Part of the Public API**
In Go, tests live alongside the code. This forces you to think about:
- What's exported (public)?
- What's unexported (private)?
- How will clients use this package?
### 5. **Refactoring Is Iterative**
We could further refactor:
- Split `cv/cv.go` into multiple files (`personal.go`, `experience.go`, etc.)
- Extract validation logic
- Add builder patterns
But we stopped here because:
- ✅ Addresses the immediate problem (mixed concerns)
- ✅ Provides clear boundaries
- ✅ Leaves room for future improvements
- ✅ Doesn't over-engineer

## 🎓 Key Takeaways for Job Interviews
### When Asked About Go Package Design:
**Question**: "How do you organize Go code?"
**Answer Framework**:
1. **Start with the domain**: What are the core concepts? (CV, UI, etc.)
2. **Identify responsibilities**: What changes together? What changes for different reasons?
3. **Create boundaries**: Packages represent domain boundaries, not file organization
4. **Follow Go idioms**: Small, focused packages with clear names
5. **Avoid circular dependencies**: Design for one-way dependency flow
### Example Response:
> "In my CV project, I refactored a monolithic `models/cv.go` file that mixed business domain (CV data) with presentation logic (UI translations). I split it into two packages: `models/cv` for the business domain and `models/ui` for presentation.
>
> This followed Go's philosophy of small, focused packages and made the code more testable—I could now test CV logic without importing UI types. The key insight was recognizing these were two different domains with different change drivers: CV structure changes when business requirements change, while UI changes when designers update the interface.
>
> I also ensured no circular dependencies by having both packages be leaf nodes in the dependency graph, with handlers orchestrating both."
### When Asked About Refactoring:
**Question**: "Tell me about a significant refactoring you did."
**Answer Framework**:
1. **Identify the problem**: What was wrong? Why did it matter?
2. **Design the solution**: What principles guided your approach?
3. **Execute incrementally**: How did you minimize risk?
4. **Validate the change**: How did you ensure it worked?
5. **Measure the impact**: What improved?
**Metrics for this refactoring**:
- Lines per file: 300+ → ~100 (more manageable)
- Test isolation: Impossible → Easy (independent domains)
- Compilation time: Unchanged (actually slightly faster with parallel compilation)
- Maintainability: Improved (clear boundaries)
---
## 📈 Next Steps
### Potential Future Improvements
1. **Further file splitting**:
```
cv/
├── cv.go # Core CV type
├── personal.go # Personal info types
├── experience.go # Work experience types
├── skills.go # Skills types
└── loader.go # Data loading
```
2. **Add validation**:
```go
// cv/validation.go
func (cv *CV) Validate() error {
if cv.Personal.Name == "" {
return errors.New("name is required")
}
// ...
}
```
3. **Introduce interfaces**:
```go
type CVRepository interface {
LoadCV(lang string) (*CV, error)
SaveCV(cv *CV, lang string) error
}
```
4. **Add builders**:
```go
cv := cv.NewBuilder().
WithPersonal(personal).
WithExperience(experiences).
Build()
```
But remember: **Don't over-engineer**. Add complexity only when you need it.

# Refactoring #3: Handler Split - From Monolith to Focused Files
**Date**: 2024-11-20
**Type**: Code Organization, Maintainability
## Problem Statement
After implementing shared utilities and validation (Refactoring #2), the handler file remained problematic:
- **Single Monolithic File**: `internal/handlers/cv.go` was 1,001 lines
- **Mixed Concerns**: Page rendering, PDF export, HTMX toggles, and helpers all in one file
- **Difficult Navigation**: Finding specific functionality required scrolling through hundreds of lines
- **Poor Separation**: No clear boundaries between different types of handlers
## Solution
Split the monolithic handler into focused files by responsibility:
1. **cv.go** (29 lines) - CVHandler struct + constructor only
2. **cv_pages.go** (290 lines) - Page rendering handlers
3. **cv_pdf.go** (153 lines) - PDF export handler
4. **cv_htmx.go** (218 lines) - HTMX toggle handlers
5. **cv_helpers.go** (385 lines) - Helper functions
## Architecture
### Before (Monolithic)
```

└── Cookie helpers:

└── setPreferenceCookie()
```
## Benefits
### 1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
Each file now has ONE clear purpose:
**cv.go** - Defines the handler structure
```go
// CVHandler handles CV-related requests
// Methods are split across multiple files for better organization:
// - cv_pages.go: Page rendering (Home, CVContent, DefaultCVShortcut)
// - cv_pdf.go: PDF export (ExportPDF)
// - cv_htmx.go: HTMX toggles (ToggleLength, ToggleIcons, SwitchLanguage, ToggleTheme)
// - cv_helpers.go: Helper functions (skills, dates, git, templates, cookies)
type CVHandler struct {
templates *templates.Manager
pdfGenerator *pdf.Generator
serverAddr string
}
```
### 2. Improved Discoverability
**Easy to find functionality:**
- Need to modify page rendering? → `cv_pages.go`
- PDF generation issue? → `cv_pdf.go`
- HTMX toggle not working? → `cv_htmx.go`
- Helper function bug? → `cv_helpers.go`
### 3. Reduced Cognitive Load
**Before**: Navigate 1,001 lines to understand one feature
**After**: Open the relevant ~150-400 line file
### 4. Better Code Organization
**cv_helpers.go** groups helpers by category with clear section markers:
```go
// ==============================================================================
// SKILLS HELPERS
// ==============================================================================
// splitSkills splits skill categories between left and right sidebars
func splitSkills(skills []cvmodel.SkillCategory) (left, right []cvmodel.SkillCategory) {
// ...
}
// ==============================================================================
// DATE/DURATION HELPERS
// ==============================================================================
// calculateYearsOfExperience calculates years since April 1, 2005
func calculateYearsOfExperience() int {
// ...
}
```
### 5. Parallel Development
Multiple developers can now work on different handler concerns without conflicts:
- Developer A: Adds new HTMX toggle → edits `cv_htmx.go`
- Developer B: Modifies PDF export → edits `cv_pdf.go`
- Developer C: Adds page handler → edits `cv_pages.go`
No merge conflicts!
### 6. Testability
Each file can have focused tests:
- `cv_pages_test.go` - Page rendering tests
- `cv_pdf_test.go` - PDF generation tests
- `cv_htmx_test.go` - HTMX toggle tests
- `cv_helpers_test.go` - Helper function tests
### 7. Documentation Clarity
Each file's purpose is immediately clear from its name and can have targeted documentation.
## Implementation Details
### Why These Groupings?
**cv_pages.go** - All handlers that render full pages or page sections
- `Home()` - Complete HTML page
- `CVContent()` - HTMX content swap
- `DefaultCVShortcut()` - Special PDF shortcut URLs
**cv_pdf.go** - PDF generation is complex enough to warrant its own file
- Handles multiple query parameters (lang, length, icons, version)
- Manages PDF generation with chromedp
- Complex filename generation logic
**cv_htmx.go** - All HTMX interactivity handlers
- Similar patterns (toggle states, cookies, out-of-band swaps)
- All follow same structure: read state → toggle → save → render
**cv_helpers.go** - All supporting functions
- Organized by category with section markers
- Pure functions (no HTTP request/response handling)
- Reusable across handlers
### Go Package Benefits
All files are in the same package (`package handlers`), so:
- ✅ Methods can be split across files (Go allows this!)
- ✅ Helper functions accessible without imports
- ✅ No circular dependency issues
- ✅ Same namespace, better organization
## Code Metrics
### File Sizes
| File | Lines | Purpose | Complexity |
|------|-------|---------|------------|
| cv.go | 29 | Struct + constructor | Very Low |
| cv_pages.go | 290 | Page rendering | Medium |
| cv_pdf.go | 153 | PDF export | Medium |
| cv_htmx.go | 218 | HTMX toggles | Low |
| cv_helpers.go | 385 | Helper functions | Low-Medium |
| **Total** | **1,075** | | **Average** |
### Reduction Achievement
- **Original**: 1 file × 1,001 lines = **1,001 lines**
- **New**: 5 files × 215 lines avg = **1,075 lines**
- **Net Change**: +74 lines (+7.4%)
The slight increase is due to:
- Comments documenting each file's purpose
- Section markers in cv_helpers.go for better organization
- More descriptive comments at file level
**Trade-off**: +74 lines for dramatically improved maintainability and organization.
### Maintainability Index
**Before**:
- 1,001 lines to search through
- 19 functions mixed together
- No clear organization
**After**:
- 29-385 lines per file
- 3-9 functions per file (focused)
- Clear organization by responsibility
## Testing
### All Tests Pass
```bash
$ go test ./...
ok github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/fileutil 0.432s
ok github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/handlers 0.789s
ok github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/lang 0.326s
ok github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models/cv 0.463s
ok github.com/juanatsap/cv-site/internal/models/ui 0.315s
```
### Verification
1. **Build**: ✅ `go build` succeeds
2. **Tests**: ✅ All unit tests pass
3. **Server**: ✅ Server starts and renders pages
4. **Endpoints**: ✅ All HTTP endpoints functional
## Why This Approach?
### Alternative Considered: Separate Packages
Could we split into separate packages?
```
internal/
├── handlers/pages/
├── handlers/pdf/
├── handlers/htmx/
└── handlers/helpers/
```
**Why NOT:**
- Creates circular dependencies (pages need helpers, helpers need CVHandler)
- More complex imports
- Breaks Go's "methods on types" pattern (can't split CVHandler methods across packages)
**Why Single Package:**
- ✅ Methods can be defined in any file
- ✅ Helpers accessible without imports
- ✅ Single namespace, no confusion
- ✅ Go's design encourages this pattern
### Go Best Practices
This approach follows **Go best practices**:
1. **Package organization by feature, not by layer**
- All CV handler code stays in `handlers` package
- Files split by sub-feature (pages, PDF, HTMX, helpers)
2. **Methods split across files**
- Go allows defining methods on a type in any file in the same package
- CVHandler methods spread across multiple files naturally
3. **Clear file naming**
- Prefix indicates grouping: `cv_pages.go`, `cv_pdf.go`, `cv_htmx.go`
- Easy to find related functionality
## Interview Talking Points
### 1. Code Organization
"I refactored a 1,001-line monolithic handler into 5 focused files (29-385 lines each), improving discoverability and maintainability while following Go's single-package-multiple-files pattern."
### 2. Single Responsibility Principle
"Each file now has one clear purpose: cv_pages handles page rendering, cv_pdf manages PDF export, cv_htmx handles interactivity, and cv_helpers provides reusable functions."
### 3. Maintainability Over Brevity
"I accepted a 7.4% line increase to gain dramatically improved organization. The trade-off of 74 extra lines for better maintainability was worth it."
### 4. Go Package Patterns
"I kept all files in one package to avoid circular dependencies and leverage Go's ability to split methods across files, rather than forcing artificial package boundaries."
### 5. Parallel Development
"The split enables multiple developers to work on different handler concerns without conflicts, improving team velocity."
### 6. Progressive Refactoring
"This is refactoring #3 in a series: #1 separated domain models, #2 added shared utilities and validation, #3 organized handlers. Each step builds on the previous, improving the codebase incrementally."
## Future Improvements
1. **Extract Duplicate Logic**: `Home()` and `CVContent()` have similar data preparation - could use `prepareTemplateData()`
2. **Handler Tests**: Add focused tests for each handler file
3. **Middleware Extraction**: Cookie handling could become middleware
4. **Request/Response Types**: Define structs for common request/response patterns
5. **Error Handling**: Centralize error response formatting

# Refactoring #4: Handler Improvements - Quality, Type Safety & Testing
**Date**: 2024-11-20
**Type**: Code Quality, Type Safety, Testing, Architecture
## Problem Statement
After splitting the monolithic handler (Refactoring #3), several opportunities for improvement remained:
1. **Broken Pre-Commit Hook**: Regex pattern incompatible with Go's RE2 engine
2. **Code Duplication**: `Home()` and `CVContent()` duplicated 60+ lines of data preparation
3. **Weak Type Safety**: Manual query parameter parsing with repetitive validation
4. **No Middleware**: Cookie handling duplicated across handlers
5. **Missing Tests**: No tests for page and HTMX handlers (only PDF/security tests)
## Solution
Implemented five complementary improvements in a single comprehensive refactoring:
### 1. Fix Pre-Commit Hook (5 min)
**Problem**: Hook used Perl-style negative lookahead `(?!PDF)` unsupported by Go
**Fix**: Remove regex filter - PDF tests already marked with `+build integration` tag
```bash
# Before (BROKEN)
go test -short -run '^((?!PDF).)*$' ./... # ❌ Fails with regex error
# After (WORKING)
go test -short ./... # ✅ Integration tests excluded by default
```
### 2. Extract Duplicate Logic (15 min)
**Problem**: `Home()` and `CVContent()` duplicated data preparation
**Solution**: Use existing `prepareTemplateData()` helper
**Before** (60 lines duplicated × 2 = 120 lines):
```go
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Load CV data
cv, err := cvmodel.LoadCV(lang)
// ...
// Load UI translations
ui, err := uimodel.LoadUI(lang)
// ...
// Calculate durations
for i := range cv.Experience {
cv.Experience[i].Duration = calculateDuration(...)
}
// ... 50 more lines
}
func (h *CVHandler) CVContent(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// IDENTICAL 60 lines duplicated!
}
```
**After** (10 lines each):
```go
func (h *CVHandler) Home(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Prepare template data using shared helper
data, err := h.prepareTemplateData(lang)
if err != nil {
HandleError(w, r, DataLoadError(err, "CV"))
return
}
// Add preference-specific fields
data["CVLengthClass"] = cvLengthClass
data["ShowIcons"] = (cvIcons == "show")
data["ThemeClean"] = (cvTheme == "clean")
// ...
}
```
**Savings**: 100+ lines eliminated, single source of truth
### 3. Request/Response Types (30 min)
**Problem**: Repetitive manual parameter parsing and validation
**Solution**: Create typed request structs with validation methods
**Created**: `internal/handlers/types.go`
```go
// PDFExportRequest represents all parameters for PDF export
type PDFExportRequest struct {
Lang string // "en" or "es"
Length string // "short" or "long"
Icons string // "show" or "hide"
Version string // "with_skills" or "clean"
}
// ParsePDFExportRequest parses and validates PDF export parameters
func ParsePDFExportRequest(r *http.Request) (*PDFExportRequest, error) {
req := &PDFExportRequest{
Lang: r.URL.Query().Get("lang"),
Length: r.URL.Query().Get("length"),
Icons: r.URL.Query().Get("icons"),
Version: r.URL.Query().Get("version"),
}
// Set defaults
if req.Lang == "" { req.Lang = "en" }
// ...
// Validate all fields
if req.Lang != "en" && req.Lang != "es" {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unsupported language: %s", req.Lang)
}
// ...
return req, nil
}
```
**Usage**:
```go
// Before (38 lines of validation)
func (h *CVHandler) ExportPDF(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
lang := r.URL.Query().Get("lang")
if lang == "" { lang = "en" }
if lang != "en" && lang != "es" {
HandleError(w, r, BadRequestError("Unsupported language"))
return
}
// ... 30 more lines of validation
}
// After (3 lines)
func (h *CVHandler) ExportPDF(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
req, err := ParsePDFExportRequest(r)
if err != nil {
HandleError(w, r, BadRequestError(err.Error()))
return
}
// Use req.Lang, req.Length, req.Icons, req.Version
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Self-documenting code (struct shows all valid parameters)
- Centralized validation logic
- Easy to add new parameters
- Type-safe access
### 4. Middleware Extraction (20 min)
**Problem**: Cookie handling duplicated across handlers
**Solution**: Extract preference middleware
**Created**: `internal/middleware/preferences.go`
```go
// Preferences holds user preference values from cookies
type Preferences struct {
CVLength string // "short" or "long"
CVIcons string // "show" or "hide"
CVLanguage string // "en" or "es"
CVTheme string // "default" or "clean"
ColorTheme string // "light" or "dark"
}
// PreferencesMiddleware reads preferences from cookies and stores in context
func PreferencesMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
prefs := &Preferences{
CVLength: getPreferenceCookie(r, "cv-length", "short"),
CVIcons: getPreferenceCookie(r, "cv-icons", "show"),
CVLanguage: getPreferenceCookie(r, "cv-language", "en"),
CVTheme: getPreferenceCookie(r, "cv-theme", "default"),
ColorTheme: getPreferenceCookie(r, "color-theme", "light"),
}
// Migrate old values
if prefs.CVLength == "extended" { prefs.CVLength = "long" }
// ...
// Store in context
ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), PreferencesKey, prefs)
next.ServeHTTP(w, r.WithContext(ctx))
})
}
// GetPreferences retrieves preferences from context
func GetPreferences(r *http.Request) *Preferences {
prefs, ok := r.Context().Value(PreferencesKey).(*Preferences)
if !ok {
return &Preferences{ /* defaults */ }
}
return prefs
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Read cookies once per request (not multiple times)
- Centralized migration logic for old preference values
- Context-based access (no global state)
- Reusable across handlers
- Ready to integrate when routes are updated
### 5. Handler Tests (45 min)
**Problem**: Only PDF and security tests existed
**Solution**: Comprehensive test coverage for page and HTMX handlers
**Created**:
- `internal/handlers/cv_pages_test.go` - 190 lines, 3 test functions, 15+ test cases
- `internal/handlers/cv_htmx_test.go` - 325 lines, 5 test functions, 20+ test cases
**Test Coverage**:
**cv_pages_test.go**:
```go
// TestHome - Full page rendering
- Default language (English)
- Explicit English
- Explicit Spanish
- Invalid language (400 error)
// TestCVContent - HTMX content swaps
- Default/English/Spanish languages
- Invalid language handling
// TestDefaultCVShortcut - PDF shortcuts
- Valid shortcut URLs (current year, both languages)
- Invalid year/language/format (404 errors)
- Skips PDF generation in short mode
```
**cv_htmx_test.go**:
```go
// TestToggleLength - CV length toggle
- Toggle short long
- Toggle long short
- Migration from "extended" "long"
// TestToggleIcons - Icon visibility toggle
- Toggle show hide
- Toggle hide show
- Migration from "true"/"false" "show"/"hide"
// TestSwitchLanguage - Language switching
- Switch to English/Spanish
- Invalid language (400 error)
- Cookie persistence
// TestToggleTheme - Theme toggle
- Toggle default clean
- Toggle clean default
// TestHTMXHandlersRequirePost - Method validation
- ToggleLength rejects GET (405)
- ToggleIcons rejects GET (405)
- ToggleTheme rejects GET (405)
```

# Refactoring #5: Architectural Enhancements - Types, Errors & Performance
**Date**: 2024-11-20
**Type**: Architecture, Type Safety, Error Handling, Performance
**Builds on**: Refactoring #4 (Handler Improvements)
## Problem Statement
After completing the middleware integration (Refactoring #4), the "Future Improvements" section identified 5 additional enhancements to improve code quality, maintainability, and performance:
1. **No Response Types**: Inconsistent API response formats
2. **Missing Validation Tags**: Manual validation not declarative
3. **Limited Context Helpers**: Only GetPreferences(), handlers needed more convenience functions
4. **Generic Error Types**: No domain-specific error codes
5. **No Benchmark Tests**: No performance regression detection
## Solution
Implemented all 5 remaining Future Improvements in a single cohesive enhancement:
---
## 1. Response Types (30 min)
### Problem
Inconsistent API response formats across endpoints, no standardized structure for JSON responses.
### Solution
Created structured response types in `internal/handlers/types.go`:
```go
// APIResponse is a standardized response wrapper
type APIResponse struct {
Success bool `json:"success"`
Data interface{} `json:"data,omitempty"`
Error *ErrorInfo `json:"error,omitempty"`
Meta *MetaInfo `json:"meta,omitempty"`
}
// ErrorInfo provides structured error information
type ErrorInfo struct {
Code string `json:"code"` // Error code (e.g., "INVALID_LANGUAGE")
Message string `json:"message"` // Human-readable error message
Field string `json:"field,omitempty"` // Field that caused the error
Details string `json:"details,omitempty"` // Additional error details
}
// MetaInfo provides metadata about the response
type MetaInfo struct {
Timestamp int64 `json:"timestamp,omitempty"` // Unix timestamp
Version string `json:"version,omitempty"` // API version
RequestID string `json:"request_id,omitempty"` // Request tracking ID
}
```
### Helper Functions
```go
// Success response
func SuccessResponse(data interface{}) *APIResponse
// Error responses
func NewErrorResponse(code, message string) *APIResponse
func ErrorResponseWithField(code, message, field string) *APIResponse
```
### Usage Example
```go
// Success case
response := SuccessResponse(map[string]interface{}{
"status": "ok",
"count": 100,
})
// Error case
response := NewErrorResponse("INVALID_LANGUAGE", "Unsupported language: fr")
```
### Benefits
- ✅ Consistent API response structure
- ✅ Self-documenting response format
- ✅ Easy to extend with metadata
- ✅ Clear error information
---
## 2. Validation Tags (10 min)
### Problem
Manual validation scattered across parse functions, not declarative or self-documenting.
### Solution
Added struct validation tags to all request types:
```go
// LanguageRequest with validation tags
type LanguageRequest struct {
Lang string `validate:"required,oneof=en es"`
}
// PDFExportRequest with comprehensive validation
type PDFExportRequest struct {
Lang string `validate:"required,oneof=en es"`
Length string `validate:"required,oneof=short long"`
Icons string `validate:"required,oneof=show hide"`
Version string `validate:"required,oneof=with_skills clean"`
}
```
### Before (Manual Validation)
```go
func ParsePDFExportRequest(r *http.Request) (*PDFExportRequest, error) {
req := &PDFExportRequest{...}
// Manual validation (repetitive)
if req.Lang != "en" && req.Lang != "es" {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unsupported language: %s", req.Lang)
}
if req.Length != "short" && req.Length != "long" {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unsupported length: %s", req.Length)
}
// ... more manual validation
return req, nil
}
```
### After (Declarative Validation)
```go
// Validation rules are self-documenting in struct tags
type PDFExportRequest struct {
Lang string `validate:"required,oneof=en es"`
Length string `validate:"required,oneof=short long"`
Icons string `validate:"required,oneof=show hide"`
Version string `validate:"required,oneof=with_skills clean"`
}
// Ready for go-playground/validator integration
// validate := validator.New()
// err := validate.Struct(req)
```
### Benefits
- ✅ Self-documenting validation rules
- ✅ Centralized validation logic
- ✅ Ready for validator library integration
- ✅ Easier to add new validation rules
---
## 3. Context Helper Functions (20 min)
### Problem
Handlers accessed preferences verbosely: `prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r); lang := prefs.CVLanguage`
### Solution
Created 13 convenience functions in `internal/middleware/preferences.go`:
#### Getter Functions
```go
func GetLanguage(r *http.Request) string // Get language preference
func GetCVLength(r *http.Request) string // Get CV length preference
func GetCVIcons(r *http.Request) string // Get icon visibility preference
func GetCVTheme(r *http.Request) string // Get CV theme preference
func GetColorTheme(r *http.Request) string // Get color theme preference
```
#### Boolean CV Helpers
```go
func IsLongCV(r *http.Request) bool // True if long CV format
func IsShortCV(r *http.Request) bool // True if short CV format
```
#### Boolean Icon Helpers
```go
func ShowIcons(r *http.Request) bool // True if icons should be visible
func HideIcons(r *http.Request) bool // True if icons should be hidden
```
#### Boolean Theme Helpers
```go
func IsCleanTheme(r *http.Request) bool // True if clean theme selected
func IsDefaultTheme(r *http.Request) bool // True if default theme selected
```
#### Boolean Mode Helpers
```go
func IsDarkMode(r *http.Request) bool // True if dark mode enabled
func IsLightMode(r *http.Request) bool // True if light mode enabled
```
### Usage Example
```go
// Before (verbose)
prefs := middleware.GetPreferences(r)
if prefs.CVLength == "long" {
// do something
}
if prefs.CVIcons == "show" {
// do something else
}
// After (concise)
if middleware.IsLongCV(r) {
// do something
}
if middleware.ShowIcons(r) {
// do something else
}
```
### Benefits
- ✅ Reduced boilerplate in handlers
- ✅ More readable code
- ✅ Type-safe boolean helpers
- ✅ Single source of truth for preference logic
---
## 4. Typed Errors (40 min)
### Problem
Generic error handling without domain-specific error codes, difficult to programmatically handle errors.
### Solution
Created comprehensive typed error system in `internal/handlers/errors.go`:
#### Error Codes
```go
type ErrorCode string
const (
ErrCodeInvalidLanguage ErrorCode = "INVALID_LANGUAGE"
ErrCodeInvalidLength ErrorCode = "INVALID_LENGTH"
ErrCodeInvalidIcons ErrorCode = "INVALID_ICONS"
ErrCodeInvalidTheme ErrorCode = "INVALID_THEME"
ErrCodeInvalidVersion ErrorCode = "INVALID_VERSION"
ErrCodeTemplateNotFound ErrorCode = "TEMPLATE_NOT_FOUND"
ErrCodeTemplateRender ErrorCode = "TEMPLATE_RENDER"
ErrCodeDataLoad ErrorCode = "DATA_LOAD"
ErrCodePDFGeneration ErrorCode = "PDF_GENERATION"
ErrCodeMethodNotAllowed ErrorCode = "METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED"
ErrCodeUnauthorized ErrorCode = "UNAUTHORIZED"
ErrCodeForbidden ErrorCode = "FORBIDDEN"
ErrCodeRateLimitExceeded ErrorCode = "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED"
)
```
#### DomainError Type
```go
// DomainError represents a domain-specific error
type DomainError struct {
Code ErrorCode
Message string
Err error
StatusCode int
Field string // Optional field that caused the error
}
// Implements error interface
func (e *DomainError) Error() string {
if e.Err != nil {
return fmt.Sprintf("%s: %v", e.Code, e.Err)
}
return fmt.Sprintf("%s: %s", e.Code, e.Message)
}
// Unwrap returns the underlying error (error chain support)
func (e *DomainError) Unwrap() error {
return e.Err
}
```
#### Fluent Builders
```go
// WithError adds an underlying error
func (e *DomainError) WithError(err error) *DomainError {
e.Err = err
return e
}
// WithField adds field information
func (e *DomainError) WithField(field string) *DomainError {
e.Field = field
return e
}
```
#### Domain-Specific Constructors
```go
func InvalidLanguageError(lang string) *DomainError {
return NewDomainError(
ErrCodeInvalidLanguage,
fmt.Sprintf("Unsupported language: %s (use 'en' or 'es')", lang),
http.StatusBadRequest,
).WithField("lang")
}
func InvalidLengthError(length string) *DomainError
func InvalidIconsError(icons string) *DomainError
func InvalidThemeError(theme string) *DomainError
func InvalidVersionError(version string) *DomainError
func PDFGenerationError(err error) *DomainError
func MethodNotAllowedError(method string) *DomainError
func RateLimitError() *DomainError
```
### Usage Example
```go
// Before (generic error)
return fmt.Errorf("unsupported language: %s", lang)
// After (typed error)
return InvalidLanguageError(lang)
// Returns: DomainError{
// Code: "INVALID_LANGUAGE",
// Message: "Unsupported language: fr (use 'en' or 'es')",
// StatusCode: 400,
// Field: "lang"
// }
// Error chaining
return PDFGenerationError(err).WithError(originalError)
```
### Benefits
- ✅ Programmatic error handling with error codes
- ✅ Better error context (field, underlying error)
- ✅ Error chain support (Unwrap)
- ✅ Consistent error messages
- ✅ Self-documenting error types
