- backend.uri prefix (default /backend) mounts the admin API at {prefix}/api/v1
and the embedded SPA shell at {prefix} with an api/ JSON 404 fallback
- cookie transport: an X-Requested-With login sets the HttpOnly summer_admin
cookie and returns no token; the backend guard reads the cookie after Bearer
- CSRF wrapper refuses cookie-only POST/PUT/DELETE without X-Requested-With
- boardwalk package embeds boardwalk/dist, rewrites index.html once per prefix
and sets cache and security headers
- framework admin OpenAPI pipeline (swag, swagger2openapi, openapi-typescript)
with prefix-relative paths and typed envelopes for the tracer routes
- admin/ Vite SPA: login, plugin rail, section panel and read-only list
through the openapi-fetch client typed by the generated schema
SummerCMS (Go)
A Go rewrite of the WinterCMS/OctoberCMS content management framework, built for the Golem15 stack.
SummerCMS keeps what makes WinterCMS productive — plugins that extend each other, YAML-driven admin forms, models/controllers/components, scaffolding commands — and drops the parts that do not survive a compiled language.
Status
Pre-alpha. Planning and research. Nothing runs yet.
Why Go
The first SummerCMS attempt was Scala 3. Three infrastructure modules were built (config, i18n, console) before the effort stalled on ecosystem depth: proven, reusable libraries for things like an OAuth2/OIDC server did not exist, and building them from scratch was out of budget. Go's ecosystem covers every concern in the Illuminate module map with maintained, widely used libraries. See .planning/notes/why-go-not-scala.md and .planning/research/go-ecosystem.md.
v1 target
Port Płytarium (the fonoteka project): a headless WinterCMS backend with a Nuxt 4 frontend, 160 API routes, its own OAuth2 provider, Discogs and AI integrations, queued jobs, realtime notifications, and organization-scoped collections.
Definition of done for v1: vue-fonoteka-app runs unchanged against the Go backend.
See .planning/notes/v1-target-plytarium.md.
Architecture decisions so far
- Compiled plugins, Caddy/xcaddy style: a
plugins/workspace of Go modules, a generated import list, scaffold and rebuild commands, watch-rebuild in dev. - A sandboxed WASM extension API for untrusted third-party extensions comes later, behind a stable core plugin API.
- Headless first. Admin is a schema-driven SPA. Server-rendered themes come with the second port target (keios.eu).
