API Improvements & Stability Enhancements Today
What developments have taken place today?
Several commits focused on API improvements, error handling, logging, and schema refinements related to channel management and user data retrieval. These changes aim to enhance the stability, debuggability, and clarity of the codebase.
The first commit updated version identifiers for a subproject, ensuring consistency across references. This is an important maintenance task to prevent integration issues.
A subsequent commit introduced comprehensive logging enhancements within several API methods (ApiHandlerChannel.ListChannels and ApiHandlerChannel.ListUsersInChannel). fmt.Println statements were added to display search parameters and data before database operations, facilitating debugging. Additionally, error messages from database queries are now printed, providing immediate feedback on potential issues.
Further changes refined the handling of user channels and associated data in the API. The operation name was changed from ListUserChannels to ListUsersInChannel to accurately reflect its functionality – retrieving users within a channel. A new error type, ListUsersInChannelBadRequest, was introduced for specific validation errors related to sorting parameters. Validation logic was implemented to restrict allowed sort values and return appropriate errors if invalid inputs are provided. Error handling was improved with more robust checks during channel searches and user-channel saving, returning informative error messages when failures occur.
Schema updates simplified the ApiResponseCountChannel structure by consolidating pagination information into a single data field and refining associated JSON fields. The Channel struct was modified to include additional details like name, type, and privacy settings, streamlining data representation. Corresponding changes were applied to decode and encode functions, ensuring proper data handling. Constants PrivacyPrivate and PrivacyPublic were introduced for representing channel privacy levels enabling more granular filtering of channels based on this setting.
Finally, a commit updated the Git repository URL for the remote daemon client TypeScript project. These combined improvements enhance code clarity, debuggability, error reporting, and overall API robustness. The changes represent a significant step towards a more reliable and maintainable system.
