Get user from database based on cookie and serve login if not logged in To get the user from the database i have to set the cookie first, that was already done in database.MustAcquire, but i thought they were too far apart, even thought they are so related. So, the cookie, and thus the role, is set when getting the user, that is actually the first thing to do once the connection is acquired. However, that way the database package has no knowledge of cookies, and the code that sets the cookie and retrieves the user are next to each other. I applied the same logic to the changes of locale.Match: it has not business knowing that the accept language string comes from a request; it only needs the actual string. Also, the TODO comment about getting the user’s locale made no sense, now, because app already knows that locale, so there is no need to pass the user to the locale package. Getting the locale is done after retrieving the user from the database, for the same reason the connection is Acquired as far up as possible: almost every request will need this value, together with the user and the database connection. I am a bit affraid that i will end up with functions that always expect these three values. Maybe i can put the locale inside user, as it is the user’s locale, after all, no matter if it came from the database or the user agent, but connection and user must be separate, i think. We’ll see. 2023-07-25 23:50:39 +00:00			`<!--`

Split templates and handlers into admin and public I need to check that the user is an employee (or admin) in administration handlers, but i do not want to do it for each handler, because i am bound to forget it. Thus, i added the /admin sub-path for these resources. The public-facing web is the rest of the resources outside /admin, but for now there is only home, to test whether it works as expected or not. The public-facing web can not relay on the user’s language settings, as the guest user has no way to set that. I would be happy to just use the Accept-Language header for that, but apparently Google does not use that header[0], and they give four alternatives: a country-specific domain, a subdomain with a generic top-level domain (gTLD), subdirectories with a gTLD, or URL parameters (e.g., site.com?loc=de). Of the four, Google does not recommend URL parameters, and the customer is already using subdirectories with the current site, therefor that’s what i have chosen. Google also tells me that it is a very good idea to have links between localized version of the same resources, either with <link> elements, Link HTTP response headers, or a sitemap file[1]; they are all equivalent in the eyes of Google. I have choosen the Link response headers way, because for that i can simply “augment” ResponseHeader to automatically add these headers when the response status is 2xx, otherwise i would need to pass down the original URL path until it reaches the template. Even though Camper is supposed to be a “generic”, multi-company application, i think i will stick to the easiest route and write the templates for just the “first” customer.
