This commit introduces a refactoring in various page templates to use a central, common 'head' section, stored under utilsHead.html. This head section contains common metadata, styles, and scripts. This change enhances code reusability and standardizes the head section across different pages for consistent user experience and ease of future potential changes. Also, some minimal adjustments were made in the navigation and link routing for more user-friendly URL paths. Lastly, the server's listening interface was updated to only listen on the localhost.
super_build.bat script was removed because it became unnecessary after transitioning to a Docker-based build process which provides cross-platform build capability more efficiently (and Windows scripting sucks). Also added templ_static_files_validator.sh that validates existence of files linked in HTML within the specified directory. Can be useful when working on frontend to make sure static files will load properly.
All instances of the term "article" were replaced with "post" in variable names, type names, function names, etc. This was primarily to ensure consistent naming and reduce confusion going forward. The term "post" was chosen as it's a more commonly used term for the involved operations in the context of content management and blogging platforms. All tests were also updated to reflect these changes.
Implemented a new 'Posts' page which has been added to the main navigation. This includes:
- Adding the 'posts.html' template with basic HTML and related CSS/JS
- Updating the 'componentNavbar.html' template to include a link to the new Posts page
- Writing the 'GetPostsPage' function in 'api/page.go' to handle requests for the Posts page
- Modifying the 'home.html' template to provide a link towards the Posts Page
- Adding an associated route in 'api/page.go'.
Renamed the 'Article' domain to 'Post' in order to better reflect the purpose and utility of the object. The change involved renaming all related use cases, classes, and other references from 'Article' to 'Post' and updating all functions and data types to work with Posts instead of Articles.
Simplified the code for creating and returning user and article entities in userRepository.go and articleRepository.go. Direct function calls to domain.FromDb(...) were replaced with the more descriptive mapping functions mapUserToDomain(...) and mapArticleToDomain(...). This ensures better code readability and understanding and provides a single, consistent way to map database entities to domain entities.
Introduced a Dockerfile and compose.yml to allow the application to run inside a Docker container. This removes the need for local system-level dependencies and offers a more predictable environment for the app. README.md was updated to include Docker-related instructions and an additional environment variable `DOCKER_DB_FOLDER` was added on top of existing ones for Docker support.
This commit adds a line to set the "DB_FILE" environment variable in tests. This ensures that tests are always using "test.db" for database related operations, aligning testing environment accurately which guarantees consistent results.
This commit enhances the user experience in two ways:
1. The feedback messages within the setup1.html file have been updated for both the username and password fields. The new messages better inform users about the rules for valid input— stating that the username must be 3-20 characters long and the password must contain at least eight characters.
2. The password validation process has been adjusted. Now, only the confirm password field gets marked as invalid when the entered passwords don't match. This helps users understand exactly which field needs correction.
Changes have been made to support environment specific database file handling. By introducing a new environment variable "DB_FILE", the application's runtime now reads the database file path from the environment. In addition, subdirectories will now be automatically created if they don't exist and more detailed error messages will be printed in case of a failure. Environment variable setup and project building instructions were also updated in the README file.
