CODE_CONVENTIONS.md sets out the conventions for Go code in this
repository: naming, layout, comments, errors, logging, configuration and
tests. .golangci.json enables the linters that check the parts that can be
checked (each limited to the rules the conventions use); the rest is
applied by hand.
Applied across the codebase:
- Naming: full-word names in application code, initialisms in one case
(BuyerID, PrintJSON, PrintYAML, ocdsGetBuyerID), no names shadowing
built-ins (min/max are minGap/maxGap), mustRaw renamed rawJSON as it
returns nil rather than panicking, and config.ConfigLevelToLogLevel
renamed LevelToLogLevel.
- Layout: lines kept to 80 characters where possible, assignments taken
out of if and for statements that don't fit, wrapped arguments all on
one line or one per line, steps separated by blank lines, no else after
a return, function and struct literals wrapped.
- Comments: doc comments on every exported name (including each section's
Map, Flatten, TypeOf, ValueOf and SetValue), section banners, British
spelling.
- Errors: a created error starts with its package name, a wrapping error
adds only what was being done, sentinels in one commented var block,
errors.Is and errors.As in place of == and type assertions, and no
err := shadowing of a named result. That fixes the mock server losing
its access log's close error.
- Logging: the fetcher passes its workers an untagged logger, so
findatender's lines are tagged with their own component rather than
with fetcher's as well; cmd/mock-fts logs "stopped" with slog.
- Configuration: util.WithTimeout (moved from the websocket package)
applies a timeout of 0 or less as no limit, used for the websocket
write and ping, TCP close and tcpserver shutdown timeouts; every setting
documents what 0 or empty means, including the rate limit rule's keys
in internal/config/README.md.
- Tests: related tests merged into table-driven ones with named cases.
Separately from CODE_CONVENTIONS.md, internal/store/README.md gains a soft
SQL style convention for the queries in internal/store/queries.go, and the
queries are reformatted to follow it.
Short and single-letter names in application code become full words (tests
keep theirs). Wrapped calls, signatures and composite literals put one item
per line, and one-line function bodies are expanded. Exported names and
groups of constants get doc comments, and comments refer to the renamed
identifiers.
which runs a plain TCP server for receiving websocket hub clients, with
server config, CSRF and rate limit middleware.
- internal/websocket: Hub pushing messages to WebSocket clients (ServeHTTP,
example.com/ws upgrade with optional CSRF check) and plain TCP clients (ServeTCP,
newline-delimited JSON envelopes); ping/pong keepalive, per-client message
rate limit, slow consumer handling, graceful Shutdown, debug logging of
messages sent and received
- internal/websocket/tcpserver: standalone TCP server for a hub, with accept
back-off, a per-IP connection limit (server.websocket.connection_limit) and
graceful shutdown
- internal/cli/wsserve: `wsserve` command running the TCP server, with
--listen/--host/--port overrides
- internal/middleware: keyed token bucket rate limiter, real client IP from
trusted proxies
- internal/httpx: RFC 9457 problem responses, request IDs in context
- internal/config: server section (host, port, shutdown timeout, rate limiter
idle TTL, websocket); util.ByteSize settings (e.g. "32KiB"); lists of
sections as single keys; empty lists stored as nil; isExplicitlySet for
printLoadedConfig; JobSearchConfigSource renamed to JSCSourcesSource;
TestSections checks every section's methods
- internal/util: ByteSize, parsed and formatted with go-humanize
- logging: LogToFile shadowed the package-level fileLogger, so
IsFileLogger was always false and Shutdown never closed the file
- logging: replace IsJSONHandler's unsafe reflection into slog
internals with a *slog.JSONHandler type check
- cli: fail if the log file can't be opened instead of silently
logging to the terminal; return the log shutdown error from Finish
- build.sh: -X flags used the wrong module path, so the version, build
time and commit were never stamped
