Application Updates: New Features & Improvements

What developments have taken place today?

Today’s work focused on enhancing user administration features within the application, improving data handling, and streamlining the login process. Key changes include:

• New User Search Form: A new form has been introduced in the admin panel to allow administrators to filter users based on criteria like email and sorting options. This improves the efficiency of finding specific users within a large user base.
• User Listing Functionality: A new UserController function, user(), handles the logic for retrieving and displaying a list of users. It leverages pagination to manage datasets effectively and integrates with the repository layer to access user data. The use of GetIntQueryParam() ensures safe retrieval of page and per-page numbers from URL parameters.
• Admin Interface Updates: Significant improvements have been made to the admin interface, including a new admin/users.go.tmpl template that displays user information in a table format with sorting and pagination. A TemplateFunctions.RenderPagination() function has also been added for consistent pagination rendering. The Gin router includes a route /admin/user to handle these requests.
• Domain URL Updates: The application’s domain configuration has been updated to http://localhost:18114, and the header template now dynamically displays a link back to this domain, providing a consistent user experience.
• Website URL History Feature: A new route /admin/website/:id/check-certificate has been added to initiate certificate checks for websites. The WebsiteUrlRepository is updated to include functionality for retrieving website URLs and their associated details. The admin/users.go.tmpl template now includes the newly generated header.
• Dynamic Login Form: The login form has been redesigned using JavaScript event handlers, providing a more interactive user experience with visual feedback during submission. The code handles both successful and failed login attempts, displaying appropriate error messages.
• Mock Database for Testing: A mock implementation of the WebsiteUrlRepository (WebsiteUrlRepositoryMock) has been created to facilitate testing without relying on a live database connection. This simplifies test development and execution.
• ServerTable Component: A new ServerTable component has been introduced, designed to fetch data from a server using an asynchronous callback function. It includes client-side filtering, sorting, pagination, and error handling. The code refactors existing domain listing functionality to use the new ServerTable component.
• Login History Management: A new endpoint /admin has been added to provide access to an administrative interface. This interface allows administrators to manage website URLs and their associated data.

Summary:

These changes represent a significant step towards improving the administration capabilities of the application, enhancing user experience through dynamic forms, and streamlining key operational processes like certificate management and domain URL retrieval. The introduction of mock database functionality and client-side components promotes testability and performance, while the updates to the admin interface provide administrators with greater control and visibility over the system.
