server

cmd/server

Description

The cmd/server directory implements the backend web server for the LaunchRail application. It is responsible for handling HTTP requests, serving API endpoints for accessing simulation data, and potentially managing simulation control functionalities. The server is built using the Gin web framework.

Key Components

• Main Server (main.go):

  • Initializes and configures the Gin HTTP server.
  • Defines API routes and associates them with their respective handlers.
  • Manages server dependencies, such as application configuration (config.Config) and data access layers (e.g., DataHandler for interacting with internal/storage).
  • May handle serving static assets or UI templates (the previous README mentioned templ for templates and static and templates directories, though these are not directly within this package's file listing, their serving would be configured here).

• Request Handlers (handlers.go):

  • Contains the logic for processing incoming HTTP requests for various API endpoints.
  • Includes handlers like ListRecordsAPI for retrieving lists of simulation records, with support for pagination using limit and offset query parameters. Responses for record listings include a total count of available records (as per memory 92749e42-4c6b-4a4e-96c0-43f1cb9fd624).
  • Interacts with a DataHandler to fetch or modify data.

• Handler Tests (handlers_test.go):

  • Provides unit tests for the request handlers to ensure their correctness (as detailed in memory 0aa1abbe-9f85-4b0c-a7a5-3c5529a0fe3e).
  • Uses net/http/httptest and testify for creating test servers and making assertions.
  • Includes setup functions like setupTestServer to initialize a test Gin engine and DataHandler with temporary storage for isolated testing.

Core Functionalities

• API Endpoints: Exposes a RESTful API for clients to interact with simulation data.
  • Example: Listing simulation records with pagination.
• Data Management: Facilitates access to simulation records stored by the system.
• Web Framework: Utilizes the Gin framework for robust and efficient request routing and handling.

Technical Details

• Framework: Gin Web Framework
• Testing: net/http/httptest, github.com/stretchr/testify
• Data Interaction: Through a DataHandler interface, likely interacting with components from the internal/storage package.
