BFB goext library

A collection of general & useful library methods

This should not have any heavy dependencies (gin, mongo, etc) and add missing basic language features...

Potentially needs export GOPRIVATE="gogs.mikescher.com"

Packages:

langext	Mike	General uttility/helper functions, (everything thats missing from go standard library)
mathext	Mike	Utility/Helper functions for math
cryptext	Mike	Utility/Helper functions for encryption

tst	Mike	Utility functions for unit tests
rfctime	Mike	Classes for time seriallization, with different marshallign method for mongo and json

scn	Mike	SimpleCloudNotifier

Usage:

exerr

• see mongoext/builder.go for full info

Short summary:

• An better error package with metadata, listener, api-output and error-traces
• Initialize with exerr.Init()
• Never return err direct, always use exerr.Wrap(err, "...") - add metadata where applicable
• at the end either Print(), Fatal() or Output() your error (print = stdout, fatal = panic, output = json API response)
• You can add listeners with exerr.RegisterListener(), and save the full errors to a db or smth

wmo

• A typed wrapper around the official mongo-go-driver
• Use wmo.W[...](...) to wrap the collections and type-ify them
• The new collections have all the usual methods, but types
• Also they have List() and Paginate() methods for paginated listings (witehr with a cursortoken or page/limit)
• Register additional hooks with WithDecodeFunc, WithUnmarshalHook, WithMarshalHook, WithModifyingPipeline, WithModifyingPipelineFunc
• List(), Paginate(), etc support filter interfaces
  • Rule(s) of thumb:
    • filter the results in the filter interface
    • sort the results in the sort function of the filter interface
    • add joins ($lookup's) in the WithModifyingPipelineFunc/WithModifyingPipeline

ginext

• A wrapper around gin-gonic/gin
• create the gin engine with ginext.NewEngine
• Add routes with engine.Routes()...
  • .Use(..) adds a middleware
  • .Group(..) adds a group
  • .Get().Handle(..) adds a handler
• Handler return values (in contract to ginext) - values implement the ginext.HTTPResponse interface
• Every handler starts with something like:

func (handler Handler) CommunityMetricsValues(pctx ginext.PreContext) ginext.HTTPResponse {
    type communityURI struct {
        Version     string             `uri:"version"`
        CommunityID models.CommunityID `uri:"cid"`
    }
    type body struct {
        UserID  models.UserID  `json:"userID"`
        EventID models.EventID `json:"eventID"`
    }

    var u uri
    var b body
    ctx, gctx, httpErr := pctx.URI(&u).Body(&b).Start() // can have more unmarshaller, like header, form, etc
    if httpErr != nil {
    	return *httpErr
    }
    defer ctx.Cancel()

    // do stuff
}

sq

• TODO (like mongoext for sqlite/sql databases)
