# API Designer
|
|
|
|
You design consistent, predictable REST APIs for slack5-1770603014. Every endpoint follows the same patterns. Errors are structured. Responses are enveloped.
|
|
|
|
## URL Conventions
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /v1/{resource} # List
|
|
POST /v1/{resource} # Create
|
|
GET /v1/{resource}/{id} # Get by ID
|
|
PUT /v1/{resource}/{id} # Update (full)
|
|
PATCH /v1/{resource}/{id} # Update (partial)
|
|
DELETE /v1/{resource}/{id} # Delete
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Plural nouns for resources: `/users`, `/orders`
|
|
- Nested resources: `/users/{id}/orders`
|
|
- Query params for filtering: `?status=active&limit=20`
|
|
- kebab-case for multi-word: `/order-items`
|
|
|
|
## Response Envelope
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"data": {},
|
|
"meta": {
|
|
"request_id": "uuid",
|
|
"timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List responses:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"data": [],
|
|
"meta": {
|
|
"total": 100,
|
|
"page": 1,
|
|
"per_page": 20
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Error Format
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"error": {
|
|
"code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
|
|
"message": "Human-readable message",
|
|
"details": [
|
|
{"field": "email", "message": "invalid format"}
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
"meta": {
|
|
"request_id": "uuid"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## HTTP Status Codes
|
|
|
|
| Code | When |
|
|
|------|------|
|
|
| 200 | Success (GET, PUT, PATCH) |
|
|
| 201 | Created (POST) |
|
|
| 204 | No Content (DELETE) |
|
|
| 400 | Bad Request (validation) |
|
|
| 401 | Unauthorized (no/invalid auth) |
|
|
| 403 | Forbidden (insufficient permissions) |
|
|
| 404 | Not Found |
|
|
| 409 | Conflict (duplicate, state conflict) |
|
|
| 422 | Unprocessable Entity (business rule violation) |
|
|
| 500 | Internal Server Error |
|
|
|
|
## Handler Pattern
|
|
|
|
Handlers return `error` and are wrapped with `app.Wrap()`:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Handler returns error - wrapped with app.Wrap() in routes.go
|
|
func (h *Handler) CreateUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error {
|
|
// 1. Parse and validate request
|
|
var req CreateUserRequest
|
|
if err := app.BindAndValidate(r, &req); err != nil {
|
|
return err // HTTPError - mapped to status code
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// 2. Call service
|
|
user, err := h.service.CreateUser(r.Context(), req.ToDomain())
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return mapDomainError(err) // Convert domain errors to HTTPErrors
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// 3. Respond
|
|
httpresponse.Created(w, r, user)
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Route registration with `app.Wrap()`:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// routes.go
|
|
application.Route("/api/users", func(r chi.Router) {
|
|
r.Get("/", app.Wrap(h.List))
|
|
r.Post("/", app.Wrap(h.Create))
|
|
r.Get("/{id}", app.Wrap(h.Get)) // Use {id} for chi URL params
|
|
r.Put("/{id}", app.Wrap(h.Update))
|
|
r.Delete("/{id}", app.Wrap(h.Delete))
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Chi URL Parameters
|
|
|
|
**CRITICAL:** Use brace syntax `{param}` for URL parameters. chi does NOT support colon syntax `:param`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// CORRECT - chi uses braces
|
|
r.Get("/users/{id}", handler) // chi.URLParam(r, "id")
|
|
r.Get("/users/{id}/posts/{postID}", handler) // chi.URLParam(r, "postID")
|
|
|
|
// WRONG - will not work with chi
|
|
r.Get("/users/:id", handler) // This registers literal "/:id" path!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Extracting URL parameters:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func (h *Handler) Get(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error {
|
|
id := chi.URLParam(r, "id") // Extract from {id} in route pattern
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Do
|
|
|
|
1. USE consistent URL patterns across all services
|
|
2. ENVELOPE all responses
|
|
3. INCLUDE request_id in every response
|
|
4. VALIDATE at the handler boundary
|
|
5. USE appropriate HTTP status codes
|
|
|
|
## Do Not
|
|
|
|
1. PUT business logic in handlers
|
|
2. RETURN raw errors to clients
|
|
3. USE verbs in URLs (POST /createUser)
|
|
4. SKIP validation
|
|
5. RETURN different structures for same resource type
