<encore_api_schemas>
<overview>
APIs in Encore are regular functions with request and response data types using structs (or pointers to structs) with optional field tags for HTTP message encoding. The same struct can be used for both requests and responses.
</overview>

<parameter_types>
<headers>
<description>Defined by `header` tag in request and response types</description>
<example>
struct {
    Language string `header:"Accept-Language"`
}
</example>
<cookies>
<usage>Set using `header` tag with `Set-Cookie` header name</usage>
<example>
struct {
    SessionID string `header:"Set-Cookie"`
}
</example>
</cookies>
</headers>

<path_parameters>
<description>Specified in //encore:api annotation using :name syntax</description>
<wildcard>Last segment can use *name for wildcard matching</wildcard>
<example>
//encore:api public method=GET path=/blog/:id/*path
func GetBlogPost(ctx context.Context, id int, path string)
</example>
<fallback>
<syntax>path=/!fallback for unmatched requests</syntax>
<usage>Useful for gradual migration of existing services</usage>
</fallback>
</path_parameters>

<query_parameters>
<rules>
- Default for GET/HEAD/DELETE requests
- Parameter names use snake_case by default
- Can use query tag for other methods
- Ignored in response types
</rules>
<example>
struct {
    PageLimit int `query:"limit"`
    Author string // query for GET/HEAD/DELETE, body otherwise
}
</example>
</query_parameters>

<body_parameters>
<rules>
- Default for non-GET/HEAD/DELETE methods
- Uses json tag for field naming
- No forced body parameters for GET/HEAD/DELETE
</rules>
<example>
struct {
    Subject string `json:"subject"`
    Author string
}
</example>
</body_parameters>

</rules>
<example>
struct {
    Header string `header:"X-Header"`
    Nested struct {

    } `json:"nested"`
}
</example>
</nested_fields>
</encore_api_schemas>

<encore_raw_endpoints>
<overview>
Raw endpoints provide lower-level access to HTTP requests when Encore's standard abstraction level is insufficient, such as for webhook handling.

<encore_schema_migrations>
<overview>
Encore uses sequential migration files to manage database schema changes over time. Migrations are tracked and executed automatically during deployment.
</overview>

<migration_system>

- Each file has a sequence number
- Files run in numerical order
- Only new migrations are executed
- Changes tracked by Encore
</workflow>

<file_naming>

- Call API endpoint as regular function
- Automatic type checking and auto-completion
</pattern>

<example>
<code>
import "encore.app/hello"

//encore:api public
func MyOtherAPI(ctx context.Context) error {
    resp, err := hello.Ping(ctx, &hello.PingParams{Name: "World"})
    if err == nil {
        log.Println(resp.Message) // "Hello, World!"
    }
    return err
}
</code>

<encore_middleware>
<overview>
Middleware provides a way to implement reusable code that runs before or after API requests across multiple endpoints. While Encore handles common use cases like logging, authentication, and tracing out-of-the-box, custom middleware remains useful for specific application needs.
</overview>

<implementation>
<basic_structure>
<code>
//encore:middleware global target=all
func ValidationMiddleware(req middleware.Request, next middleware.Next) middleware.Response {
    payload := req.Data().Payload

        if err := validator.Validate(); err != nil {
            err = errs.WrapCode(err, errs.InvalidArgument, "validation failed")
            return middleware.Response{Err: err}

    }
    return next(req)

</code>
</example>
</response_manipulation>
</implementation>

<ordering>
<rules>
- Global middleware runs before service-specific middleware

<encore_validation>
<overview>
Encore provides automatic request validation through built-in middleware, executing validation before reaching API handlers or other middleware.
</overview>

<validation_mechanism>
<implementation>
<interface>
- Request type must implement Validate() error
- Called after payload deserialization
- Must return nil for valid requests
</interface>

<flow>
- Middleware intercepts request
- Deserializes payload
- Calls Validate() if implemented
- Proceeds to handler only if validation passes
</flow>
</validation_mechanism>

<error_handling>
<scenarios>
<errs_error>
<type>*errs.Error</type>
<behavior>Passed through unmodified to caller</behavior>
</errs_error>

<other_errors>
<conversion>
- Converted to *errs.Error
- Code set to InvalidArgument
- Results in HTTP 400 Bad Request
</conversion>
</other_errors>
</scenarios>
</error_handling>
</encore_validation>

<encore_cgo>

<encore_dependency_injection>
<overview>
Dependency Injection simplifies testing by adding dependencies as struct fields instead of direct calls, enabling easy replacement of implementations during testing.
</overview>

<implementation>
<service_struct>
<annotation>//encore:service</annotation>
<example>
<code>
package email

//encore:service
type Service struct {
    sendgridClient *sendgrid.Client
}

func initService() (*Service, error) {
    client, err := sendgrid.NewClient()
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    return &Service{sendgridClient: client}, nil
}
</code>
</example>
</service_struct>

<api_definition>
<code>
//encore:api private
func (s *Service) Send(ctx context.Context, p *SendParams) error {
    // Use s.sendgridClient to send emails
}
</code>
</api_definition>
</implementation>

<testing>
<interface_approach>
<code>
type sendgridClient interface {
    SendEmail(...) // hypothetical signature
}

//encore:service
type Service struct {
    sendgridClient sendgridClient
}
</code>
</interface_approach>

<mocking>
<example>
<code>
func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
    svc := &Service{sendgridClient: &myMockClient{}}
    // Test implementation
}
</code>
</example>
<benefits>
- Easy dependency replacement
- Isolation of functionality
- Simplified testing
</benefits>

<encore_raw_http>
<overview>
Encore provides raw endpoints for cases requiring lower-level HTTP control, such as webhooks or WebSocket implementations. Raw endpoints give direct access to the underlying HTTP request.
</overview>

<endpoint_definition>
<basic_usage>
<description>Define raw endpoints by modifying the encore:api annotation and function signature</description>
<code>
package service

import "net/http"

//encore:api public raw method=POST path=/webhook
func Webhook(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    // Handle raw HTTP request
}
</code>
<note>Uses standard Go HTTP handler interface</note>
</basic_usage>

<path_parameters>
<description>Extract information from URL paths using encore.CurrentRequest</description>
<example>
<code>
//encore:api public raw method=POST path=/webhook/:id
func Webhook(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    id := encore.CurrentRequest().PathParams.Get("id")
    // Process with id
}
</code>
</example>
</path_parameters>
</endpoint_definition>

<use_cases>
<list>
- Webhook handling
- WebSocket implementations
- Custom HTTP request processing
- Third-party integration requirements
</list>
</use_cases>
</encore_raw_http>

<encore_pubsub_outbox>
<overview>
The transactional outbox pattern ensures consistency between database operations and Pub/Sub notifications in event-driven applications using Encore's x.encore.dev/infra/pubsub/outbox package.
</overview>

<concept>
<description>
Translates Pub/Sub topic.Publish calls into database row insertions in an outbox table, which are later published to actual Pub/Sub topics upon transaction commit.
</description>
<benefits>
- Maintains consistency between services
- Reduces architectural complexity
- Preserves type safety
</benefits>
</concept>

<message_publishing>
<topic_binding>
<process>Use Pub/Sub topic references for outbox binding</process>
<note>Message IDs differ from regular Pub/Sub - references outbox row until commit</note>
</topic_binding>

<implementation>
<code>
var SignupsTopic = pubsub.NewTopic[*SignupEvent](/* ... */)
ref := pubsub.TopicRef[pubsub.Publisher[*SignupEvent]](SignupsTopic)
ref = outbox.Bind(ref, outbox.TxPersister(tx))
</code>

<database_schema>
CREATE TABLE outbox (
    id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    topic TEXT NOT NULL,
    data JSONB NOT NULL,
    inserted_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL
);
CREATE INDEX outbox_topic_idx ON outbox (topic, id);
</database_schema>
</implementation>
</message_publishing>

<message_consumption>
<relay>
<description>Polls outbox table and publishes messages to actual Pub/Sub topics</description>
<features>
