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.

Replace type="text/css" with media="screen" The type is actually no necessary for rel="stylesheet", and this stylesheet is only meant for screen interfaces, not the default “all”.

Show request errors as a toast Or at least they will once we add the required CSS, but there is at least the JavaScript behaviour in place now.

Add the logout button Conceptually, to logout we have to “delete the session”, thus the best HTTP verb would be `DELETE`. However, there is no way to send a `DELETE` request with a regular HTML form, and it seems that never will be[0]. I could use a POST, optionally with a “method override” technique, but i was planing to use HTMx anyway, so this was as good an opportunity to include it as any. In this application i am not concerned with people not having JavaScript enabled, because it is for a customer that has a known environment, and we do not have much time anyway. Therefore, i opted to forgo progressive enhancement in cases like this: if `DELETE` is needed, use `hx-delete`. Unfortunately, i can not use a <form> with a hidden <input> for the CSRF token, because `DELETE` requests do not have body and the value should be added as query parameters, like a form with GET method, but HTMx does the incorrect thing here: sends the values in the request’s body. That’s why i have to use a custom header and the `hx-header` directive to include the CSRF token. Then, by default HTMx targets the triggered element for swap with the response from the server, but after a logout i want to redirect the user to the login form again. I could set the hx-target to button to replace the whole body, or tell the client to redirect to the new location. I actually do not know which one is “better”. Maybe the hx-target is best because then everything is handled by the client, but in the case of logout, since it is possible that i might want to load scripts only for logged-in users in the future, i opted for the full page reload. However, HTMx does not want to reload a page that return HTTP 401, hence i had to include the GET method to /login in order to return the login form with a response of HTTP 200, which also helps when reloading in the browser after a failed login attempt. I am not worried with the HTTP 401 when attempting to load a page as guest, because this request most probably comes from the browser, not HTMx, and it will show the login form as intended—even though it is not compliant, since it does not return the WWW-Authenticate header, but this is the best i can do given that no cookie-based authentication method has been accepted[1].

Add profile form, inside a user menu This is the first form that uses HTMx, and can not return a 400 error code because otherwise HTMx does not render the content. Since now there are pages that do not render the whole html, with header and body, i need a different layout for these, and moved the common code to handle forms and such a new template file that both layouts can use. I also need the request in template.MustRender to check which layout i should use. Closes #7.
