Copied as much as i could from Numerus, and made as few modifications as
i could to adapt to this code base; it is, quite frankly, a piece of
shit.
We need to be able to create invoices from scratch “just in case”,
apparently, but it is not yet possible to create an invoice from a
booking.
Debian’s pgtype version is 1.10.0, but pgtype did not add RecordArray
type until 1.11.0, thus could not compile the application with
Debian 12.
I just copied the code from 1.11.0 without any modification besides
adding the reference to the pgtype package to types and functions.
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.
