Add the skeleton of the web application It does nothing more than to server a single page that does nothing interesting. This time i do not use a router. Instead, i am trying out a technique i have seen in an article[0] that i have tried in other, smaller, projects and seems to work surprisingly well: it just “cuts off” the URI path by path, passing the request from handler to handler until it finds its way to a handler that actually serves the request. That helps to loosen the coupling between the application and lower handlers, and makes dependencies explicit, because i need to pass the locale, company, etc. down instead of storing them in contexts. Let’s see if i do not regret it on a later date. I also made a lot more packages that in Numerus. In Numerus i actually only have the single pkg package, and it works, kind of, but i notice how i name my methods to avoid clashing instead of using packages for that. That is, instead of pkg.NewApp i now have app.New. Initially i thought that Locale should be inside app, but then there was a circular dependency between app and template. That is why i created a separate package, but now i am wondering if template should be inside app too, but then i would have app.MustRenderTemplate instead of template.MustRender. The CSS is the most bare-bones file i could write because i am focusing in markup right now; Oriol will fill in the file once the application is working.

Add the language switched to the public layout The language switcher needs the same information as languageLinks needed, namely the list of locales and the current Path, to construct the URI to all alternate versions. However, in this case i need access to this data in the template context, to build the list of links. At first i use request’s context to hold the list of available locales from application, and it worked, possibly without ill-effects, but i realized that i was doing it just to avoid a new parameter. Or, more precise, an _explicit_ parameter; the context was used to skip the inner functions between app and template.MustRenderPublic, but the parameter was there all the same. Finally, i thought that some handler might want to filter the list of locales to show only the ones that it has a translation of. In that case, i would need to extract the locales from the context, filter it, and create a new request with the updated context. That made little sense, and made me add the explicit locales parameter. Since now the template has the same data as languageLinks, there is little point of having the link in the HTTP response headers, and added the <link> elements to <head>. I thought that maybe i could avoid these <links> as they give the exact same data as the language switch, but Google says nothing of using regular anchors to gather information about localized versions of the document[0], thus i opted to be conservative. One can reason that the <head> has more weight for Google, as most sites with user-generated content, which could contain these anchors, rarely allow users to edit the <head>.

Make home page’s carousel manageable via the database I debated with myself whether to create the home_carousel relation or rather if it would be better to have a single carousel relation for all pages. However, i thought that it would be actually harder to maintain a single relation because i would need an additional column to tell one carrousel from another, and what would that column be? An enum? A foreign key to another relation? home_carousel carries no such issues. I was starting to duplicate logic all over the packages, such as the way to encode media paths or “localization” (l10n) input fields. Therefore, i refactorized them. In the case of media path, i added a function that accepts rows of media, because always need the same columns from the row, and it was yet another repetition if i needed to pass them all the time. Plus, these kind of functions can be called as `table.function`, that make them look like columns from the table; if PostgreSQL implemented virtual generated columns, i would have used that instead. I am not sure whether that media_path function can be immutable. An immutable function is “guaranteed to return the same results given the same arguments forever”, which would be true if the inputs where the hash and the original_filename columns, instead of the whole rows, but i left it as static because i did not know whether PostgreSQL interprets the “same row but with different values” as a different input. That is, whether PostgreSQL’s concept of row is the actual tuple or the space that has a rowid, irrespective of contents; in the latter case, the function can not be immutable. Just to be in the safe side, i left it stable. The home page was starting to grow a bit too much inside the app package, new that it has its own admin handler, and moved it all to a separate package.

However, in this case i need access to this data in the template context, to build the list of links. At first i use request’s context to hold the list of available locales from application, and it worked, possibly without ill-effects, but i realized that i was doing it just to avoid a new parameter. Or, more precise, an _explicit_ parameter; the context was used to skip the inner functions between app and template.MustRenderPublic, but the parameter was there all the same. Finally, i thought that some handler might want to filter the list of locales to show only the ones that it has a translation of. In that case, i would need to extract the locales from the context, filter it, and create a new request with the updated context. That made little sense, and made me add the explicit locales parameter. Since now the template has the same data as languageLinks, there is little point of having the link in the HTTP response headers, and added the <link> elements to <head>. I thought that maybe i could avoid these <links> as they give the exact same data as the language switch, but Google says nothing of using regular anchors to gather information about localized versions of the document[0], thus i opted to be conservative. One can reason that the <head> has more weight for Google, as most sites with user-generated content, which could contain these anchors, rarely allow users to edit the <head>.

Add the skeleton of the web application It does nothing more than to server a single page that does nothing interesting. This time i do not use a router. Instead, i am trying out a technique i have seen in an article[0] that i have tried in other, smaller, projects and seems to work surprisingly well: it just “cuts off” the URI path by path, passing the request from handler to handler until it finds its way to a handler that actually serves the request. That helps to loosen the coupling between the application and lower handlers, and makes dependencies explicit, because i need to pass the locale, company, etc. down instead of storing them in contexts. Let’s see if i do not regret it on a later date. I also made a lot more packages that in Numerus. In Numerus i actually only have the single pkg package, and it works, kind of, but i notice how i name my methods to avoid clashing instead of using packages for that. That is, instead of pkg.NewApp i now have app.New. Initially i thought that Locale should be inside app, but then there was a circular dependency between app and template. That is why i created a separate package, but now i am wondering if template should be inside app too, but then i would have app.MustRenderTemplate instead of template.MustRender. The CSS is the most bare-bones file i could write because i am focusing in markup right now; Oriol will fill in the file once the application is working.
