# 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](../party/README.md) for config, [surf](../surf/README.md) for routes and middleware, [lagoon](../lagoon/README.md) for migrations, [cabana](../cabana/README.md) for admin controllers, [conga](../conga/README.md) 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), 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`), create, update and delete hooks (`pact.FormBeforeCreate`, `pact.FormAfterUpdate`, `pact.FormBeforeDelete` and their siblings), 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:

```go
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`:

```go
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)},
	}
}
```

## Dependencies

- SummerCMS modules: [bonfire](../bonfire/README.md) (the command type in `pact.HasCommands`).
- Third-party: `github.com/go-gormigrate/gormigrate/v2`, `gorm.io/gorm`.
- Standard library: `context`, `io/fs`, `net/http`, `time`.

## Testing

```sh
go test ./modules/pact/...
```

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