pact

Capability interfaces that compiled plugins implement to contribute routes, config, migrations, middleware, commands, admin screens, translations, mail templates, jobs and scheduled commands.

import "git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/pact"

Overview

pact is the contract layer between plugins and the framework. It holds interfaces and plain data types, with no behaviour of its own. A plugin opts into a capability by implementing one of the Has* interfaces, and the framework package that owns the capability discovers it with a type assertion (party for config, surf for routes and middleware, lagoon for migrations, cabana for admin controllers, conga for jobs and schedules). It replaces the register*() methods of a WinterCMS PluginBase (registerPermissions, registerNavigation, registerSettings and so on) with small, separately implementable interfaces.

Features

• Plugin capability interfaces: pact.HasRoutes, pact.HasConfig, pact.HasMigrations, pact.HasCommands, pact.HasModels, pact.HasJobs, pact.HasSchedule, pact.HasLang, pact.HasLangOverrides and pact.HasMailTemplates.
• HTTP contracts: the pact.Router group builder (implemented by surf), the pact.Middleware type, and named, parameterized (name:param) and house-envelope middleware through pact.HasMiddleware, pact.HasMiddlewareFactories and pact.HasHouseMiddleware.
• Backend registration data: pact.Permission, pact.NavigationItem and pact.SettingsItem, exposed through pact.HasPermissions, pact.HasNavigation and pact.HasSettings.
• Admin controller contracts: pact.AdminController, pact.HasAdminControllers, pact.AdminAssets (embedded Winter-shaped admin YAML), pact.AdminPermissioned and pact.AdminRecordSource.
• Admin extension contracts, so a plugin extends the compiled admin SPA without a Node build: pact.AdminClientAssets (per-controller JS and CSS from the plugin's embedded assets/ tree, Winter's addJs/addCss), pact.HasAdminActions with pact.AdminAction, pact.AdminActionInput and pact.AdminActionResult (named toolbar and widget actions whose routes, CSRF check, permissions and record scoping the framework owns), pact.HasAdminBulkActions with pact.AdminBulkAction, pact.AdminBulkActionInput and pact.AdminBulkActionResult (named actions on the rows selected in a list, which receive records the framework loaded through the list scope, never ids), pact.HasAdminRecordActions with pact.AdminRecordAction, pact.AdminRecordActionInput and pact.AdminRecordActionResult (named actions on one record, each with an Applies rule for the record's state), and pact.AdminPartialData (the curated view model a partial template renders).
• Optional admin hooks a controller or model can implement: list and form query scoping (pact.ListExtendQuery, pact.FormExtendQuery), list row states (pact.ListRowStates with the fixed pact.RowState set pact.RowStateDeleted, pact.RowStateNegative and pact.RowStateDisabled), create, update and delete hooks (pact.FormBeforeCreate, pact.FormAfterUpdate, pact.FormBeforeDelete and their siblings), form-only fields that reach those hooks without being model columns (pact.FormVirtualFields), validation rules per operation for admin saves (pact.FormRules), relation hooks (pact.RelationExtendManageQuery, pact.RelationExtendOptionsQuery, pact.RelationBeforeLink), relation child hooks around creating, updating and deleting a related record (pact.RelationBeforeCreate, pact.RelationAfterCreate, pact.RelationBeforeUpdate, pact.RelationAfterUpdate, pact.RelationBeforeDelete, pact.RelationAfterDelete), filter scopes (pact.FilterScope, pact.FilterOptions) and dropdown options (pact.DropdownOptionsProvider).
• A background job contract (pact.Job, pact.JobArgs) that does not depend on any queue library.
• A schedule contract: pact.HasSchedule returns pact.ScheduledCommand entries (a registered command name, its arguments and a pact.Cadence built with pact.Daily, pact.DailyAt or pact.Every), the Go form of WinterCMS registerSchedule. It does not depend on any queue library either.
• pact.OptionalMessage, a service an optional plugin can publish so others integrate with it without importing its package.
• pact.HasModels and pact.OptionalMessage are declared for plugins to implement, but no framework package consumes them yet.

Usage

A plugin declares its capabilities by implementing the interfaces and asserting them at compile time:

package blog

import (
	"net/http"

	"git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/pact"
)

var (
	_ pact.HasRoutes      = (*Plugin)(nil)
	_ pact.HasPermissions = (*Plugin)(nil)
)

type Plugin struct{}

func (p *Plugin) Routes(r pact.Router) error {
	r.Group("/api/blog", []string{"auth"}, func(r pact.Router) {
		r.Get("/posts", listPosts)
		r.Get("/posts/{id}", showPost)
		r.Where("id", "[0-9]+")
	})
	return nil
}

func (p *Plugin) Permissions() []pact.Permission {
	return []pact.Permission{
		{Code: "acme.blog.access_posts", Tab: "Blog", Label: "Manage posts"},
	}
}

func listPosts(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {}
func showPost(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)  {}

A plugin schedules one of its registered commands by implementing pact.HasSchedule:

var _ pact.HasSchedule = (*Plugin)(nil)

func (p *Plugin) Schedule() []pact.ScheduledCommand {
	return []pact.ScheduledCommand{
		{Command: "blog:prune-drafts", Cadence: pact.Daily()},
		{Command: "blog:ping", Args: []string{"--quiet"}, Cadence: pact.Every(15 * time.Minute)},
	}
}

API reference

pact.HasRoutes	Declares HTTP routes on a pact.Router.
pact.Middleware	A named func(http.Handler) http.Handler wrapper.
pact.HasMiddleware	Registers named middleware.
pact.HasMiddlewareFactories	Registers parameterized middleware resolved from name:param at wrap time.
pact.HasHouseMiddleware	Registers middleware tagged as envelope and error handling, which raw groups refuse.
pact.HasConfig	Ships default YAML config, merged under the plugin ID.
pact.HasMigrations	Ships an ordered gormigrate set, run with a per-plugin history table.

pact.Cadence	Opaque run frequency with IsZero, Interval (24h for daily cadences) and At (hour and minute of a daily cadence).
pact.Daily	Cadence at 00:00 every day in the app timezone (Laravel ->daily()).

pact.AdminActionInput	What an action receives: widget field, optional record id and scoped record, and the fill snapshot.
pact.AdminActionResult	What an action returns: a message for the toast and the fill write-back values.
pact.HasAdminActions	Registers a controller's actions for toolbar.buttons and type: widget fields.

pact.HasAdminRecordActions	Registers a controller's record actions for the recordActions list of config_form.yaml.

pact.FilterScope	Model scopes a list filter may call, limited to an exact allow list.
pact.FilterOptions	Serves the choices of a scope filter. The admin controller may implement it and is asked first, so choices can be read from the database; otherwise the model is asked.
pact.RelationBeforeLink	Optional controller hook that checks or fills pivot columns before a relation link is written.

Testing

go test ./modules/pact/...

The tests are compile-time interface checks and need no external services.
