Project Overview

Terminal Coffee Shop is a terminal-based e-commerce app for ordering coffee, built with Go and the Bubbletea TUI framework. It runs as an SSH server (Wish framework) with a REST API backend (Chi router), SQLite database (GORM), and JWT authentication.

Build & Run Commands

# Build and run SSH server (TUI)
go build -o terminalshop && ./terminalshop
# Connect: ssh localhost -p 23457

# Quick run without building
go run main.go

# Run API server (separate process, port 8080)
go run main.go          # from api/ directory

Test Commands

# Run all tests
go test ./...

# Run a single test by name
go test ./api/handlers/ -run TestGetHealth

# Run tests in a specific package
go test ./pkg/database/

# Run tests with verbose output
go test -v ./...

# Run tests with coverage
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
go tool cover -func=coverage.out

Project Structure

• main.go -- SSH server entry point (Wish framework)
• api/ -- REST API server: handlers/, middleware/, routes/
• pkg/api/ -- API client used by TUI
• pkg/auth/ -- JWT + SSH key authentication
• pkg/config/ -- Environment configuration
• pkg/database/ -- SQLite connection, migrations, seeding
• pkg/models/ -- GORM data models (Coffee, User, CartItem)
• pkg/tui/ -- Bubbletea TUI components
• pkg/utils/ -- Standard API response helpers
• pkg/validate/ -- Generic validators; pkg/validation/ -- request validation
• terminal-shop-source/ -- Reference implementation (read-only, do not modify)

Code Style

Imports

Three groups separated by blank lines: (1) stdlib, (2) external packages, (3) internal packages.

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
    "gorm.io/gorm"

    "terminalShop/pkg/database"
    "terminalShop/pkg/models"
)

Naming Conventions

• Types/exports: PascalCase (ProductHandler, JWTManager)
• Local variables: camelCase
• Constructors: New<Type> (NewModel, NewJWTManager, NewClient)
• Files: snake_case.go (ssh_auth.go, shipping_form.go)
• JSON tags: snake_case (json:"roast_type", json:"created_at")
• Error codes: PascalCase constants (ErrCodeValidation)

Error Handling

• Messages are lowercase, no trailing punctuation
• Wrap errors with %w: fmt.Errorf("failed to create user: %w", err)
• Use guard clauses with early returns in handlers
• API errors use: utils.RespondError(w, statusCode, "ERROR_CODE", "message", details)
• API success uses: utils.RespondSuccess(w, statusCode, data)

Comments

• Doc comments start with the name of the thing: // GenerateToken generates a new JWT token for a user
• Complete sentences with proper punctuation
• Every exported type and function should have a doc comment

Struct Tags

Always include json tags. Use GORM tags for database models.

type Coffee struct {
    ID        uint    `gorm:"primaryKey" json:"id"`
    Name      string  `gorm:"size:255;not null" json:"name"`
    RoastType string  `gorm:"size:50;not null" json:"roast_type"`
    Price     float64 `gorm:"not null" json:"price"`
}

Function Ordering in Files

1. Exported types and constants
2. Constructors (New...)
3. Public methods (alphabetically)
4. Private methods
5. Helpers

Context

Always pass context.Context as the first parameter in functions that need it.

Testing Patterns

• Use stdlib testing package with t.Errorf/t.Fatalf (no testify)
• HTTP tests use httptest.NewRequest and httptest.NewRecorder
• Test DB setup: create temp SQLite file, connect, migrate, seed, defer cleanup
• Always defer os.Remove(testDB) and defer database.ResetForTesting()
• Test functions named Test<FunctionName> or Test<FunctionName><Scenario>

TUI Architecture (Bubbletea / Elm Architecture)

• All state lives in Model struct in pkg/tui/model.go
• Views follow left-panel + right-panel layout with lipgloss.JoinHorizontal()
• Right panel auto-updates based on cursor position (no Enter/ESC to view details)
• Left panel width is 18 chars; right panel fills remaining space
• Each view has a builder: BuildShopView(), BuildCartView(), BuildAccountView()
• Styling: active=#FFFFFF bold, inactive=#666666, accent=#4682B4
• Cart uses map[int]*CartItem -- always sort via GetCartItemsSlice() before display
• Reset ScrollOffset = 0 when switching views

Commit Messages

Use conventional commits: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:, chore:.

Important Notes

• The terminal-shop-source/ directory is a read-only reference -- do not modify it
• Environment config goes in .env (copy from .env.example); never commit .env
• Read CLAUDE.md for detailed architecture decisions and common gotchas
• Read MODELS.md for complete API specs, database schema, and design patterns
