From 33310be68544d3381ac6e9899790f4a106e17e8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ivar Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 14:22:23 +0200 Subject: refactor: convert admin handlers to Gin context-based signatures - Remove old ServeHTTP method (no longer needed with Gin routing) - Update all 6 handler methods to use *gin.Context instead of http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request - Convert handler signatures: handleList, handleNew, handleNewPost, handleEdit, handleDelete - Remove render() helper (use c.HTML() directly) - Update renderError() to accept gin.Context instead of http.ResponseWriter - Update postFromForm() to extract form data from gin.Context using c.PostForm() - Update main.go to use adminSrv.NewServer() and adminSrv.Engine() - All handlers now use Gin methods: c.HTML(), c.PostForm(), c.Param(), c.Redirect() - Path parameters now extracted via c.Param("slug") instead of function arguments - HTTP status codes and error handling fully migrated to Gin patterns Build verified: go build ./cmd/nebbet succeeds Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 --- .../plans/2026-04-03-gin-migration-plan.md | 739 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 739 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-03-gin-migration-plan.md (limited to 'docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-03-gin-migration-plan.md') diff --git a/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-03-gin-migration-plan.md b/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-03-gin-migration-plan.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6b95cac --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-03-gin-migration-plan.md @@ -0,0 +1,739 @@ +# Gin Migration Implementation Plan + +> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. + +**Goal:** Migrate the nebbet admin server from `net/http` to Gin with RESTful routes and middleware-based auth. + +**Architecture:** Replace the manual `ServeHTTP` handler with Gin's declarative routing. The `Server` struct gains a `*gin.Engine` field. Auth becomes reusable middleware. Route handlers update their signatures to use `*gin.Context`.
