Architecture

Simple Layer Architecture

Layer Architecture with full features

core-go/search

• Build the search model at http handler
• Build dynamic SQL for search
  • Build SQL for paging by page index (page) and page size (limit)
  • Build SQL to count total of records

Search users: Support both GET and POST

POST /users/search

Request: POST /users/search

In the below sample, search users with these criteria:

• get users of page "1", with page size "20"
• email="tony": get users with email starting with "tony"
• dateOfBirth between "min" and "max" (between 1953-11-16 and 1976-11-16)
• sort by phone ascending, id descending

{
    "page": 1,
    "limit": 20,
    "sort": "phone,-id",
    "email": "tony",
    "dateOfBirth": {
        "min": "1953-11-16T00:00:00+07:00",
        "max": "1976-11-16T00:00:00+07:00"
    }
}

GET /users/search?page=1&limit=2&email=tony&dateOfBirth.min=1953-11-16T00:00:00+07:00&dateOfBirth.max=1976-11-16T00:00:00+07:00&sort=phone,-id

In this sample, search users with these criteria:

• get users of page "1", with page size "20"
• email="tony": get users with email starting with "tony"
• dateOfBirth between "min" and "max" (between 1953-11-16 and 1976-11-16)
• sort by phone ascending, id descending

Response:

• total: total of users, which is used to calculate numbers of pages at client
• list: list of users

{
    "list": [
        {
            "id": "ironman",
            "username": "tony.stark",
            "email": "tony.stark@gmail.com",
            "phone": "0987654321",
            "dateOfBirth": "1963-03-24T17:00:00Z"
        }
    ],
    "total": 1
}

API Design

Common HTTP methods

• GET: retrieve a representation of the resource
• POST: create a new resource
• PUT: update the resource
• PATCH: perform a partial update of a resource, refer to core-go/core and core-go/sql
• DELETE: delete a resource

API design for health check

To check if the service is available.

Request: GET /health

Response:

{
    "status": "UP",
    "details": {
        "sql": {
            "status": "UP"
        }
    }
}

API design for users

Resource: users

Get all users

Request: GET /users

Response:

[
    {
        "id": "spiderman",
        "username": "peter.parker",

    "email": "james.howlett@gmail.com",

    "dateOfBirth": "1974-11-16T16:59:59.999Z"
}

Response: 1: success, 0: duplicate key, -1: error

1

Update one user by id

Request: PUT /users/:id

PUT /users/wolverine

{
    "username": "james.howlett",
    "email": "james.howlett@gmail.com",
    "phone": "0987654321",
    "dateOfBirth": "1974-11-16T16:59:59.999Z"
}

Response: 1: success, 0: not found, -1: error

1

Patch one user by id

Perform a partial update of user. For example, if you want to update 2 fields: email and phone, you can send the request body of below.

Request: PATCH /users/:id

PATCH /users/wolverine

{
    "email": "james.howlett@gmail.com",
    "phone": "0987654321"
}

Response: 1: success, 0: not found, -1: error

Problems for patch

If we pass a struct as a parameter, we cannot control what fields we need to update. So, we must pass a map as a parameter.

type UserService interface {
    Update(ctx context.Context, user *User) (int64, error)
    Patch(ctx context.Context, user map[string]interface{}) (int64, error)
}

We must solve 2 problems:

1. At http handler layer, we must convert the user struct to map, with json format, and make sure the nested data types are passed correctly.
2. At repository layer, from json format, we must convert the json format to database format (in this case, we must convert to column)

Solutions for patch

At http handler layer, we use core-go/core, to convert the user struct to map, to make sure we just update the fields we need to update

import "github.com/core-go/core"

func (h *UserHandler) Patch(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    var user User
    userType := reflect.TypeOf(user)
    _, jsonMap := core.BuildMapField(userType)
    body, _ := core.BuildMapAndStruct(r, &user)
    json, er1 := core.BodyToJson(r, user, body, ids, jsonMap, nil)

    result, er2 := h.service.Patch(r.Context(), json)
    if er2 != nil {
        http.Error(w, er2.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
        return
    }
    respond(w, result)
}

Delete a new user by id

Request: DELETE /users/:id

DELETE /users/wolverine

Response: 1: success, 0: not found, -1: error

Common libraries

• core-go/health: include HealthHandler, HealthChecker, SqlHealthChecker
• core-go/config: to load the config file, and merge with other environments (SIT, UAT, ENV)
• core-go/log: logging
• core-go/middleware: middleware log tracing

core-go/health

To check if the service is available, refer to core-go/health

Request: GET /health

Response:

{
    "status": "UP",
    "details": {
        "sql": {
            "status": "UP"
        }
    }
}

To create health checker, and health handler

    db, err := sql.Open(conf.Driver, conf.DataSourceName)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    sqlChecker := s.NewSqlHealthChecker(db)
    healthHandler := health.NewHealthHandler(sqlChecker)

To handler routing

    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/health", healthHandler.Check).Methods("GET")

core-go/config

To load the config from "config.yml", in "configs" folder

package main

import "github.com/core-go/config"

type Root struct {
    DB DatabaseConfig `mapstructure:"db"`
}

type DatabaseConfig struct {
    Driver         string `mapstructure:"driver"`
    DataSourceName string `mapstructure:"data_source_name"`
}

func main() {
    var conf Root
    err := config.Load(&conf, "configs/config")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

core-go/log & core-go/middleware

import (
    "github.com/core-go/config"
    "github.com/core-go/log"
    m "github.com/core-go/middleware"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func main() {
    var conf app.Root
    config.Load(&conf, "configs/config")

    r := mux.NewRouter()

    log.Initialize(conf.Log)
    r.Use(m.BuildContext)
    logger := m.NewStructuredLogger()
    r.Use(m.Logger(conf.MiddleWare, log.InfoFields, logger))
    r.Use(m.Recover(log.ErrorMsg))
}

To configure to ignore the health check, use "skips":

middleware:
  skips: /health
