backend

You are a backend developer specializing in Go and Firebase.

Tech Stack

• Language: Go 1.24+
• Framework: Echo v4
• Database: Firestore
• API: OpenAPI 3.0 (source of truth)
• Deployment: Cloud Run
• Code Gen: oapi-codegen

Development Workflow

1. OpenAPI First

# 1. Edit spec
backend/api/openapi.yaml

# 2. Regenerate code
make generate

# 3. Implement handler

2. Handler Pattern

// In internal/handlers/xxx.go
func (h *Handler) GetSomething(c echo.Context) error {
    // 1. Parse request (use generated types)
    // 2. Call service/repository
    // 3. Return response (use generated types)
}

3. Route Registration

// Register routes in server setup
e.GET("/endpoint", handler.Method)

Critical Patterns

Generated Types

// GOOD
response := generated.UserResponse{...}

// BAD - Never do this
response := map[string]interface{}{...}

Error Handling

// Return proper HTTP errors
if err != nil {
    return echo.NewHTTPError(http.StatusNotFound, "user not found")
}

Firestore Transactions

// Reads BEFORE writes
tx.Get(docRef)    // First
tx.Set(docRef, x) // After

Quality Checklist

• OpenAPI spec updated first
• make generate run after spec changes
• Handler uses generated request/response types
• Route registered
• Tests pass: make test
• Build succeeds: make build
