This was a simple update, just missing in the past. I really need to
cleanup the page loading, but that will come when the error displays get
implemented.
The recipe get tags method was failing when a nil recipe is provided.
Not sure when that would happen, but without fixing it, we can just
return nil when a blank recipe is returned.
Still having the stupid ass nil dereferences, I think I might need to
migrate to using success returns instead of pointers. Because they're
fucked. And even more so now.
We can now use environment values to dictate which values are used for
the DB and the domain. This is a simple solution, but for now, it works!
This will merge into master and we can then see it live in action!
This is not perfect, and def not set in stone. But for now, it will
return a JSON page, and not crash. I want this to log the user out,
clear the cookies, and then direct home with a message saying something
went wrong.
I also want it to send me an email with the details, but one step at a
time for now, that is not 100% necessary, I just need to fix the bugs.
I also need to fix the environments.
The application can now be built, tailwind is built, AND templ
components are generated! Which means, we can no longer push the
tailwind generated CSS file OR the templ generated go files!
Plus, this is the first step towards deployment and CI/CD!
This includes backend updates as well as frontend changes! The backend
also includes a new repository to get a list of jobs via their IDs,
which does respect order!
The list displays for users that are logged in and a small message when
the user is not logged in. The last piece is the recipe of the week
segment, which can be as simple as a DB cron-job. But that will require
stored procedures. Need to learn those next.
Though I want to deploy the application soon, so I need to begin working
on that.
This basically marks the favorites page completed. Updating the recipe
repository to allow the search function to accept a userId and favorites
flag. This flag will toggle a "favorites only" search. Which can be used
to replicate the same functionality from the search page in the
favorites page. This later can serve as a baseline for updating to also
work for activity search.
I am starting to think an ORM is a good idea...I heard Gorm is good, but
for now, there is a bit too much tech debt.
This means we need to pass the user id into the various methods that
call it. But, since it is a pointer, we can use nil if we don't have a
user to check with (this is noted in the service).
The frontend is half wired up, just need to update the button. I also
want to update the recipe methods to return the favorite status. This
will follow very similar to the way I updated the tags. Another method
which can be called to attach the favorite state.
The make button is pretty much done, just need to finish up by
rate limiting it. That will take place in the engagement repository.
Sharing works as well, just a UI change, there is no backend yet, maybe
there should be an engagement type for sharing recipes. But not totally
sure.
The viewing is also in a semi-working state. It does not create requests
for users that aren't signed in, which needs to come. With that update
there is a need to update HOW the requests come in, we don't need it
every time we load the page. Maybe just when we click to it, from
somewhere else?
Finally, the favoriting does not totally work. The entry into the
engagement table is complete, but the actual favorites table, favorite
creation, button toggling AND button rendering is not implemented yet.
