I implemented the Valuer and Scanner interfaces to InputField and
SelectField for better passing values between the database and Go. I
had a conflict with the Value name and renamed the struct member to Val.
I also had to change the attributes array to be of type
template.HTMLAttr or html/template would replace `form="newtax"`
attribute to `zgotmplz="newtax"` because it deems it “unsafe”. I do
not like having to use template.HTMLAttr when assigning values, but
i do not know what else i can do now.
I have been thinking about that, and it does not make that much sense to
have the titles in the Go source anymore: most of them are static text
that i have to remember to set in the controller each time, and when
the time come i have to face a dynamic title i am sure i will manage
with only the template capabilities—worst comes worst, i can always
define a function.
On the other hand, there is no way i can define a template without its
title and i know that everytime that template is used, no matter what
controller rendered it, it will always have that title.
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.
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.
