Plugin Implementation
Main Plugin Structure
go
// main.go
package main
import (
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
"github.com/1340691923/ElasticView/pkg/plugin"
)
type MyPlugin struct {
plugin.BasePlugin
config *Config
}
// Config represents plugin configuration
type Config struct {
APIKey string `json:"api_key"`
RefreshInterval int `json:"refresh_interval"`
}
// Init initializes the plugin
func (p *MyPlugin) Init() error {
// Load configuration
if err := p.LoadConfig(&p.config); err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
}
// Routes defines HTTP routes
func (p *MyPlugin) Routes(router *gin.RouterGroup) {
api := router.Group("/api")
{
api.GET("/status", p.getStatus)
api.GET("/data", p.getData)
api.POST("/data", p.createData)
}
}
func main() {
plugin.Register(&MyPlugin{})
}HTTP Handlers
Request Handlers
go
func (p *MyPlugin) getStatus(c *gin.Context) {
status := map[string]interface{}{
"status": "active",
"version": "1.0.0",
}
c.JSON(200, status)
}
func (p *MyPlugin) getData(c *gin.Context) {
// Get data logic
data := []map[string]interface{}{
{"id": 1, "name": "Item 1"},
{"id": 2, "name": "Item 2"},
}
c.JSON(200, gin.H{
"data": data,
})
}
func (p *MyPlugin) createData(c *gin.Context) {
var req map[string]interface{}
if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&req); err != nil {
c.JSON(400, gin.H{"error": "Invalid request"})
return
}
// Create data logic
c.JSON(201, gin.H{
"message": "Data created successfully",
"data": req,
})
}Database Integration
Data Models
go
type Data struct {
ID uint `gorm:"primarykey" json:"id"`
Name string `gorm:"not null" json:"name"`
Type string `gorm:"not null" json:"type"`
Value string `gorm:"type:text" json:"value"`
CreatedAt time.Time `json:"created_at"`
}Configuration Management
go
type Config struct {
APIKey string `json:"api_key"`
RefreshInterval int `json:"refresh_interval"`
DatabaseURL string `json:"database_url"`
}
func (p *MyPlugin) LoadConfig(config interface{}) error {
return p.BasePlugin.LoadConfig(config)
}Error Handling
go
func (p *MyPlugin) handleError(c *gin.Context, err error) {
c.JSON(500, gin.H{
"error": "Internal server error",
"message": err.Error(),
})
}Testing
Unit Tests
go
func TestGetStatus(t *testing.T) {
plugin := &MyPlugin{}
router := gin.New()
router.GET("/status", plugin.getStatus)
req := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "/status", nil)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
router.ServeHTTP(w, req)
assert.Equal(t, 200, w.Code)
}Best Practices
Code Organization
- Follow Go conventions and best practices
- Use dependency injection for better testability
- Implement proper error handling
Performance
- Use connection pooling for databases
- Implement caching for frequently accessed data
- Use goroutines for concurrent operations
Security
- Validate all inputs
- Use parameterized queries
- Implement proper authentication
Next Steps
- Package & Publish - Deploy your plugin
- Plugin API - API reference
- Frontend Development - Build the UI
