Overview

lagoon is the WinterCMS models and migrations counterpart: it opens the one *sql.DB pool (pgx stdlib driver) that GORM and the rest of the application share, runs each plugin's gormigrate set in its own history table, and ports the Eloquent model conventions that WinterCMS plugins rely on, such as $fillable, $hidden, $jsonable, encrypted casts and Laravel-style validation rules. Its attach subpackage ports WinterCMS's system_files attachments, storing originals and lazily generated thumbnails in a gocloud.dev blob bucket. The application binary gets the migrate and key commands from lagoon.RuntimeCommands.

Features

• One shared pool: lagoon.Open, lagoon.Use and lagoon.OpenFromApp return a *sql.DB and a *gorm.DB built on that same pool; lagoon.Publish makes both available on the backpack.App.
• Database check at connect time: lagoon.CheckLocale refuses a database whose default collation is not the ICU pl-PL locale, so ordering matches the database default without per-query COLLATE.
• Per-plugin migrations: lagoon.Migrate runs the framework's system_files set (attach.Migrations), backend admin identity set (lagoon.BackendAdminMigrations) and job-queue set (lagoon.QueueMigrations: River's schema pinned at lagoon.RiverSchemaVersion, then the lagoon.JobsTable record table, under the lagoon.QueueHistoryID history), then every pact.HasMigrations set in plugin activation order, each in its own summer_migrations_<plugin_id> history table (lagoon.HistoryTableName). lagoon.RollbackLast and lagoon.Status cover rollback and history.
• Mass assignment: lagoon.Fill copies only allow-listed keys onto a model by GORM column name and silently drops the rest, logging each dropped key once outside production. A json.Number (from a decoder using UseNumber) fills integer, unsigned and float fields. A value that does not fit its column (a fraction, an exponent or an overflow for an integer field, or a value of the wrong type) is a lagoon.FillTypeError naming the key, so a caller can answer it as a validation failure on that field. lagoon.HasFillable and lagoon.HasHidden are the Go forms of $fillable and $hidden.
• Validation: lagoon.Validate accepts Laravel-style rule strings (required, nullable, integer, numeric, between, min, max, in, unique, boolean, email, confirmed, different, mimes) and returns a field-to-messages map, translated through phrasebook when a translator is given. Unknown rule tokens are an error.
• Safe ordering: lagoon.OrderBy appends an ORDER BY only for an allow-listed column and an asc or desc direction.
• Pagination: lagoon.Paginate builds a lagoon.Page with data and meta (current_page, last_page, per_page, total).
• Column types: lagoon.Encrypted stores AES-256-GCM ciphertext under a key derived from app.key, decrypts with previous keys during rotation, and always redacts itself in JSON and string output; lagoon.Jsonable stores JSON as TEXT and keeps SQL NULL distinct from an empty value.
• Lifecycle and relations: hook interfaces matching GORM's native method names (lagoon.HasBeforeCreate, lagoon.HasBeforeSave, lagoon.HasBeforeDelete, lagoon.HasAfterDelete) plus lagoon.HasBeforeValidate; lagoon.WithSoftDeleteCascade runs a cascade inside the parent delete; lagoon.RegisterJoinTable wires pivot models with business columns.
• Imports from Laravel: lagoon.DecryptLaravelPayload decrypts Laravel encrypted payloads with the old application key, for one-off data imports.
• Attachments (attach): the attach.File model for system_files rows, WinterCMS-compatible partitioned storage keys (attach.BlobKey, attach.PartitionDirectory), on-demand thumbnails through attach.File.Thumb, static serving with an optional is_public gate (attach.StaticHandlerPublic), and a two-phase delete that removes blobs only after the database transaction commits (attach.DeleteForOwner, attach.DeleteKeys).

Usage

Open the shared pool once at boot and publish it, so plugins and handlers reuse the same handles:

sqlDB, gdb, err := lagoon.OpenFromApp(ctx, app)
if err != nil {
	return err
}
if err := lagoon.Publish(app, sqlDB, gdb); err != nil {
	return err
}

A model uses the column types and helpers directly:

type Post struct {
	ID       uint                      `gorm:"column:id;primaryKey"`
	Title    string                    `gorm:"column:title"`
	Tags     lagoon.Jsonable[[]string] `gorm:"column:tags"`
	APIToken lagoon.Encrypted          `gorm:"column:api_token"`
}

func (Post) Fillable() []string { return []string{"title"} }

func createPost(ctx context.Context, gdb *gorm.DB, tr *phrasebook.Translator, input map[string]any) (map[string][]string, error) {
	var post Post
	rules := map[string]string{"title": "required|max:255|unique:posts"}
	if errs, err := lagoon.Validate(ctx, gdb, &post, rules, input, tr); err != nil || errs != nil {
		return errs, err
	}
	if err := lagoon.Fill(&post, post.Fillable(), input, false); err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	post.APIToken = lagoon.NewEncrypted("change-me")
	return nil, gdb.Create(&post).Error
}

A plugin ships its schema as an ordered gormigrate set; migrate runs it after the framework sets:

func (p *Plugin) Migrations() []*gormigrate.Migration {
	return []*gormigrate.Migration{{
		ID: "202601010001_create_posts",
		Migrate: func(tx *gorm.DB) error {
			return tx.Exec(`CREATE TABLE posts (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, title TEXT NOT NULL, tags TEXT, api_token TEXT)`).Error
		},
		Rollback: func(tx *gorm.DB) error {
			return tx.Exec(`DROP TABLE IF EXISTS posts`).Error
		},
	}}
}

Configuration

Keys are read from the compass config; the SUMMER_ environment overlay maps a double underscore to a dot, for example SUMMER_DATABASE__DSN to database.dsn.

Key	Default	Controls
database.dsn	none (required)	Postgres connection string used by lagoon.OpenFromApp and every database command.
app.key	none (required)	Base64 encoding of 32 random bytes; the source of the lagoon.Encrypted column key. Generate one with key:generate.
app.previous_keys	empty	List of earlier base64 keys still accepted when decrypting, for key rotation.
storage.uploads.bucket_url	none (required by attach.OpenBucket)	Uploads bucket URL, file:// or mem://.
storage.uploads.public_path_prefix	/storage/uploads	URL prefix used when building public file and thumbnail URLs.

database:
  dsn: postgres://acme:<secret>@127.0.0.1:5432/acme?sslmode=disable
app:
  key: <base64 key from key:generate>
storage:
  uploads:
    bucket_url: file:///var/lib/acme/uploads

CLI commands

lagoon.RuntimeCommands adds these commands to the application binary. All of them except key:generate open the database through lagoon.OpenFromApp, so they need database.dsn and app.key.

Command	Flags	Description
migrate	none	Runs the framework migrations, then each plugin's migrations in dependency order.
migrate:rollback	--plugin <id>	Rolls back the last migration of the given plugin; without the flag, of the last activated plugin that has migrations.
migrate:status	none	Prints a table of plugin, history table and applied migration IDs.
key:generate	none	Prints a fresh base64 32-byte key for app.key; writes nothing.

Testing

go test ./modules/lagoon/...

The database tests in lagoon and lagoon/attach start a postgres:16-alpine container, initialised with the ICU pl-PL locale, through testcontainers-go, so they need a running Docker daemon. They are skipped by go test -short ./modules/lagoon/..., which runs only the unit tests.
