# Server Development Integration Complete ✅
|
||||
# Unified Binary Architecture Complete ✅
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 **What Was Accomplished**
|
||||
|
||||
Successfully integrated the **insertr-server** into the development workflow, making **full-stack development the primary experience** while maintaining simplicity.
|
||||
Successfully refactored **insertr-cli** and **insertr-server** into a **unified `insertr` binary**, creating a **simpler, more maintainable architecture** while preserving all functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 **Unified Development Experience**
|
||||
## 🚀 **Unified Binary Experience**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Primary Commands**
|
||||
### **Single Binary Commands**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./insertr enhance # 🔨 Build-time content injection
|
||||
./insertr serve # 🔌 Runtime API server
|
||||
./insertr --help # 📖 Complete command reference
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Simplified Development**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
just dev # 🔥 Full-stack development (PRIMARY)
|
||||
just demo-only # Demo site only (special cases)
|
||||
just server # API server only (development)
|
||||
just serve # API server only (development)
|
||||
just enhance # Build-time enhancement only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Enhanced Build Pipeline**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
just build # Now builds: Library + CLI + Server (all-in-one)
|
||||
just build # Now builds: Library + Unified Binary (single executable)
|
||||
npm run build # Same - builds complete stack via scripts/build.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Smart Development Features**
|
||||
- **Auto Server Detection**: Library detects development vs production environment
|
||||
- **Helpful Error Messages**: Clear guidance when API server isn't running
|
||||
- **Health Monitoring**: `just server-health` checks API server status
|
||||
- **Enhanced Status**: `just status` shows complete project state including server
|
||||
### **Smart Configuration**
|
||||
- **YAML Configuration**: `insertr.yaml` with smart defaults
|
||||
- **Environment Variables**: `INSERTR_*` prefix for all settings
|
||||
- **CLI Flag Precedence**: Command-line flags override config and env vars
|
||||
- **Database Flexibility**: SQLite for development, PostgreSQL for production
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 **Technical Integration Points**
|
||||
## 📋 **Technical Architecture Changes**
|
||||
|
||||
### **1. Justfile Enhancements**
|
||||
- Added server commands: `server`, `server-build`, `server-dev`, `server-health`
|
||||
- Added unified development: `dev-full` (orchestrates both demo + API server)
|
||||
- Enhanced status command with server information
|
||||
### **1. Unified Command Structure**
|
||||
- **Single Binary**: `insertr` handles both enhance and serve operations
|
||||
- **Cobra CLI**: Professional command structure with subcommands
|
||||
- **Viper Configuration**: YAML + environment + CLI flag precedence
|
||||
- **Shared Database Layer**: Single source of truth for content models
|
||||
|
||||
### **2. Build Script Integration**
|
||||
- `scripts/build.js` now builds server binary alongside library and CLI
|
||||
- Integrated server build into main `npm run build` workflow
|
||||
- Enhanced completion messages with server usage instructions
|
||||
### **2. Preserved Database Architecture**
|
||||
- **sqlc Code Generation**: Maintained type-safe database operations
|
||||
- **Multi-Database Support**: SQLite (development) and PostgreSQL (production)
|
||||
- **Version Control System**: Complete edit history with rollback capabilities
|
||||
- **Database Abstraction**: Runtime database type detection
|
||||
|
||||
### **3. Smart API Client**
|
||||
- Environment detection (localhost = development server, production = same-origin)
|
||||
- Helpful error messages when server unreachable
|
||||
- Development logging for API configuration
|
||||
- Graceful fallback behavior
|
||||
### **3. Enhanced Build Integration**
|
||||
- `scripts/build.js` builds unified binary with embedded library assets
|
||||
- `justfile` updated for unified binary commands
|
||||
- `Air` configuration for hot reload during development
|
||||
- Single binary deployment for all use cases
|
||||
|
||||
### **4. Enhanced Developer Experience**
|
||||
- `npm run dev:check` validates server components
|
||||
- Clear development workflow guidance
|
||||
- Integrated help messages pointing to `just dev-full`
|
||||
### **4. Configuration Flexibility**
|
||||
- **YAML Config**: `insertr.yaml` for declarative configuration
|
||||
- **Environment Variables**: `INSERTR_*` prefixed for all settings
|
||||
- **CLI Precedence**: Command flags override file and env config
|
||||
- **Smart Defaults**: Zero-configuration development workflow
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 **Simplified Development Workflow**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Primary Development (Default)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
just dev # or npm run dev
|
||||
# Starts: API server (8080) + Demo site (3000)
|
||||
# Complete CMS experience with real content persistence
|
||||
# Starts: insertr serve (8080) + Demo site (3000)
|
||||
# Complete CMS experience with unified binary
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Component Development (Special Cases)**
|
||||
### **Build-Time Enhancement**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
just server # API server only
|
||||
just demo-only # Demo site only (no persistence)
|
||||
just enhance # Build-time content injection
|
||||
./insertr enhance demo-site/ --output ./dist --mock
|
||||
./insertr enhance src/ --api https://cms.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ **Verification**
|
||||
### **Production Deployment**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./insertr serve --db "postgresql://user:pass@host/db"
|
||||
./insertr --config production.yaml serve
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All integration points tested and working:
|
||||
- ✅ Server builds via `just build`
|
||||
- ✅ Full-stack development via `just dev`
|
||||
- ✅ API client detects environment correctly
|
||||
- ✅ Enhanced status and check commands work
|
||||
- ✅ Clean, focused development experience
|
||||
## ✅ **Migration Benefits Achieved**
|
||||
|
||||
All functionality preserved with architectural improvements:
|
||||
- ✅ **Single Binary**: No more separate CLI and server binaries
|
||||
- ✅ **Shared Codebase**: Database models, validation, and logic unified
|
||||
- ✅ **Flexible Configuration**: YAML, environment, and CLI flag support
|
||||
- ✅ **Development Workflow**: Hot reload with `air` for unified binary
|
||||
- ✅ **Production Ready**: Same binary handles build-time and runtime
|
||||
- ✅ **Database Architecture**: Preserved sophisticated sqlc multi-DB setup
|
||||
