Go Backend Controller Handlers FAQs

Question 1

Where should error logging occur in this pattern?

Accepted Answer

Errors should be logged within the controller handler using log.ErrorContext before returning the error to the wrapper, ensuring full request context is captured.

Question 2

Can I easily parse JSON bodies from POST requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill utilizes helpers like GetJSONPostDataStruct to automatically decode incoming JSON request bodies into specific Go structs.

Question 3

How does this skill handle user sessions?

Accepted Answer

It includes patterns for accessing session data and loaded user objects directly from the request context using helpers like GetReqSession and GetLoadedUser.

Question 4

What is the standard function signature used by this skill?

Accepted Answer

All handlers use the signature: func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) (*ModelType, int, error). The response writer is typically handled by a wrapper, allowing the function to return data, status codes, and errors directly.

Question 5

How does the skill differentiate between admin and public errors?

Accepted Answer

It provides specific helpers: Admin helpers return full error details for debugging, while Public helpers return sanitized, generic messages to prevent internal system information leakage.
