Customizing

Startup

Your project has a full CLI interface, run projectforge help to see available options.

When the main HTTP server starts, the code in app/controller/init.go is run. It contains initApp, for system startup logic, and initAppRequest, which is run before each HTTP request.

Services

The main dependencies of the project are in app/state.go, which defines a State object that should almost always be in scope. It contains a Services instance which is where we’ll add all our project-specific dependencies. You can find it in app/services.go.

HTTP Controllers

• All controller actions live in app/controller. Normal HTTP actions should use the controller.Act helper method, which extracts a session and injects dependencies.
• Your method is provided an cutil.PageState which contains user and session information, and includes Title and Data fields, used for HTML title and data repsonses.
• Every action supports content negotiation, you can pass a Content-Type header, or add [?t=json, ?t=yaml, or ?t=xml], to any URL.

CLI Actions

• Start at /app/cmd/run.go; to add your own CLI actions, create a new Coral action in /cmd
