jordi fita mas 5a199a3d8e Add the contact relation and a rough first form 2023-01-29 15:14:31 +01:00
jordi fita mas 1712a81dfc Move the /profile under the company router
This is not necessary per se, but it makes my life easier because that
way i know which company the user was when she went to its profile and
can “return” back in the menu and future nav items.

jordi fita mas 0a58e2699e Use a select for company’s country field
At first we thought that a regular text field would do, because we were
afraid that a dropdown would be worse from the point of view of user
experience, but then we realized that we need the country code for VAT
and phone validation, and we can not expect users to input that, of
course.

I had to add the first “i18n table” to the database with the name of all
countries in both Catalan and Spanish and Catalan; English is the
default.  For now i think i do not need a view that would select the
name based on the locale of the current request, because currently i do
not plan on adding any other such table —the currency uses the code and
the symbol, thus no need for localization.

However, now i need the language tag from the locale in order to get the
correct translation, and gotext does not give me any way to access the
inner language.  Thus the need for our Locale type.

jordi fita mas 627841d4dd Add the company relation and read-only form to edit
I do not have more time to update the update to the company today, but i
believe this is already a good amount of work for a commit.

The company is going to be used for row level security, as users will
only have access to the data from companies they are granted access, by
virtue of being in the company_user relation.

I did not know how add a row level security policy to the company_user
because i needed the to select on the same relation and this is not
allowed, because it would create an infinite loop.

Had to add the vat, pg_libphonenumber, and uri extensions in order to
validate VAT identification numbers, phone numbers, and URIs,
repectively.  These libraries are not in Debian, but i created packages
for them all in https://dev.tandem.ws/tandem.

jordi fita mas 5505fa41c3 Use “layouts” for the common HTML between pages
Had to call xgettext on Go source files because now the title comes from
there, as i assume i will have titles like "Invoice #INVxxxx" that have
to come from the database that the template does not know.

jordi fita mas ea9e830a75 Add user_profile view to update the profile with form
Since users do not have access to the auth scheme, i had to add a view
that selects only the data that they can see of themselves (i.e., no
password or cookie).

I wanted to use the `request.user.id` setting that i set in
check_cookie, but this would be bad because anyone can change that
parameter and, since the view is created by the owner, could see and
*change* the values of everyone just by knowing their id.  Thus, now i
use the cookie instead, because it is way harder to figure out, and if
you already have it you can just set to your browser and the user is
fucked anyway; the database can not help here.

I **am** going to use the user id in row level security policies, but
not the value coming for the setting but instaed the one in the
`user_profile`, since it already is “derived” from the cookie, that’s
why i added that column to the view.

The profile includes the language, that i do not use it yet to switch
the locale, so i had to add a relation of the available languages, for
constraint purposes.  There is no NULL language, and instead i added the
“Undefined” language, with ‘und’ tag’, to represent “do not know/use
content negotiation”.

The languages in that relation are the same i used to have inside
locale.go, because there is no point on having options for languages i
do not have the translation for, so i now configure the list of
available languages user in content negotiation from that relation.

Finally, i have added all font from RemixIcon because that’s what we
used in the design and i am going to use quite a lot of them.

There is duplication in the views; i will address that in a different
commit.

jordi fita mas 052c9c8caa Add a function to set request settings and the role
I did not like the idea that it was the Go server who should set values
such as request.user or set the role, because this is mostly something
that only the database wants for itself, such as when calling logout.  I
am also planning to use these setings for row security with the user’s
id, that the Go application has no need for, but with the current
approach i would need to return it from check_cookie so that it can
return it back to the database when acquiring the connection.

I would have used the same function to set the settings and the role,
but security definer functions—obviously in retrospect—can not set the
role, because then could switch to any role of the user that defined the
function, not the roles they are member of.  Thus, a new function.

I did not want to do that every time i needed the database connection
within the same request, because it would perform the same operations
each time—it is the same cookie, afterall—, so new connections are
request scoped and passed along in the context.

jordi fita mas e38420697b Add Catalan and Spanish translation with gotext[3]
I had to choose between [1], [2], and [3].

As far as i could find, [1] is not easy to work with templates[4] and at
the moment is not maintained[5].

Both [2] and [3] use the same approach to be used from within templates:
you have to define a FuncMap with template functions that call the
message catalog.  Also, both libraries seems to be reasonably
maintained, and have packages in Debian’s repository.

However, [2] repeats the same mistakes that POSIX did with its
catalogs—using identifiers that are not the strings in the source
language—, however this time the catalogs are written in JSON or YAML!
This, somehow, makes things worse….

[3], the one i settled with, is fine and decently maintained.  There are
some surprising things, such as to be able to use directly the PO file,
and that it has higher priority over the corresponding MO, or that the
order of parameters is reversed in respect to gettext.  However, it uses
a saner format, and is a lot easier to work with than [3].

The problem, of course, is that xgettext does not know how to find
translatable strings inside the template.  [3] includes a CLI tool
similar to xgettext, but is not a drop-in replacement[6] and does not
process templates.

The proper way to handle this would be to add a parser to xgettext, but
for now i found out that if i surround the call to the translation
functions from within the template with parentheses, i can trick
xgettext into believing it is parsing Scheme code, and extracts the
strings successfully—at least, for what i have tried.  Had to add the
keyword for pgettext, because Schemed does not have it, but at least i
can do that with command line parameters.

For now i left only Spanish and Catalan as the two available languages,
even though the source text is written in English, because that way i
can make sure i do not leave strings untranslated.

jordi fita mas f1bf1f896d Implement login cookie, its verification, and logout
At first i thought that i would need to implement sessions, the ones
that keep small files onto the disk, to know which user is talking to
the server, but then i realized that, for now at least, i only need a
very large number, plus the email address, to be used as a lookup, and
that can be stored in the user table, in a separate schema.

Had to change login to avoid raising exceptions when login failed
because i now keep a record of login attemps, and functions are always
run in a single transaction, thus the exception would prevent me to
insert into login_attempt.  Even if i use a separate procedure, i could
not keep the records.

I did not want to add a parameter to the logout function because i was
afraid that it could be called from separate users.  I do not know
whether it is possible with the current approach, since the settings
variable is also set by the same applications; time will tell.

jordi fita mas ab6c0079c9 Set search_path on each new connection, and role on each acquisition
The whole application will need the same search_path, so it is wasteful
to do that in each handler.

It is possible to pass the search path as a parameter to the database’s
connection string, but then everyone would need to remember to do that,
and update the configuration in case i add another schema.

Similarly, i need to change the user’s role to match her
permissions—which are not in yet—, but this time i need it each time a
handler requests a connection from the pool, because each time the
connection is returned to the pool i reset the role back to the initial,
that hopefully will be authenticator.

jordi fita mas 989cdd7da7 Move source file to the root of pkg
I do not yet know how i will need to organize them, if indeed i need to
organize them to a finer granularity than single files, so there is no
point on doing Java-like packages.
