# System Patterns: hosts-go
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Overview
|
|
|
|
The hosts-go application follows a **layered architecture** with clear separation of concerns:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌─────────────────────┐
|
|
│ TUI Layer │ ← Bubble Tea models, views, styles
|
|
├─────────────────────┤
|
|
│ Business Logic │ ← Core domain logic, validation
|
|
├─────────────────────┤
|
|
│ System Interface │ ← File I/O, DNS, permissions
|
|
└─────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key Technical Decisions
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Bubble Tea Framework**
|
|
- **Why**: Provides mature TUI framework with event-driven architecture
|
|
- **Pattern**: Model-View-Update (MVU) pattern for state management
|
|
- **Components**: Main model orchestrates sub-components (list, detail, modal)
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Internal Package Structure**
|
|
```
|
|
internal/
|
|
├── tui/ # UI layer - Bubble Tea components
|
|
├── core/ # Business logic - domain models and operations
|
|
└── utils/ # Shared utilities - helpers and common functions
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Permission Model**
|
|
- **View mode default**: Read-only access, no sudo required
|
|
- **Edit mode explicit**: User must explicitly enter edit mode
|
|
- **Sudo on demand**: Only request elevated permissions when entering edit mode
|
|
- **Graceful fallback**: Handle permission denied gracefully
|
|
|
|
## Design Patterns in Use
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Model-View-Update (MVU)**
|
|
- **Model**: Application state (entries, selection, mode)
|
|
- **View**: Rendering logic (two-pane layout, styles)
|
|
- **Update**: State transitions based on user input
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Command Pattern**
|
|
- **Edit operations**: Encapsulate modifications as commands
|
|
- **Undo support**: Commands can be reversed
|
|
- **Validation**: Commands validate before execution
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Repository Pattern**
|
|
- **HostsRepository**: Abstract file operations
|
|
- **MockRepository**: In-memory implementation for testing
|
|
- **FileRepository**: Actual `/etc/hosts` file operations
|
|
|
|
### 4. **Observer Pattern**
|
|
- **DNS resolution**: Background updates to IP addresses
|
|
- **File watching**: Detect external changes to hosts file
|
|
- **Status updates**: Notify UI of operation progress
|
|
|
|
## Component Relationships
|
|
|
|
### TUI Components
|
|
```
|
|
MainModel
|
|
├── ListModel (left pane)
|
|
│ ├── Entry selection
|
|
│ ├── Sorting controls
|
|
│ └── Status indicators
|
|
├── DetailModel (right pane)
|
|
│ ├── Entry editing
|
|
│ ├── Form validation
|
|
│ └── DNS resolution
|
|
└── ModalModel (overlays)
|
|
├── Configuration
|
|
├── Confirmations
|
|
└── Error dialogs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Core Business Logic
|
|
```
|
|
Manager
|
|
├── HostsParser (read/write hosts file)
|
|
├── DNSResolver (hostname to IP resolution)
|
|
├── Validator (entry validation)
|
|
└── ConfigManager (user preferences)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Critical Implementation Paths
|
|
|
|
### 1. **File Operations**
|
|
```go
|
|
// Atomic file updates with backup
|
|
1. Read current /etc/hosts → backup
|
|
2. Parse entries → validate changes
|
|
3. Write to temporary file → verify
|
|
4. Atomic move temp → /etc/hosts
|
|
5. Remove backup on success
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. **State Management**
|
|
```go
|
|
// Bubble Tea update cycle
|
|
1. User input → Command
|
|
2. Command → State change
|
|
3. State change → View update
|
|
4. View update → Screen render
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. **DNS Resolution**
|
|
```go
|
|
// Background IP resolution
|
|
1. Extract hostnames from entries
|
|
2. Resolve in background goroutines
|
|
3. Compare resolved vs current IPs
|
|
4. Update UI with resolution status
|
|
5. User chooses whether to update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. **Edit Mode Transition**
|
|
```go
|
|
// Permission elevation
|
|
1. User requests edit mode
|
|
2. Check current permissions
|
|
3. Request sudo if needed
|
|
4. Validate file write access
|
|
5. Enable editing controls
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling Strategy
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Graceful Degradation**
|
|
- **No sudo**: Continue in view-only mode
|
|
- **File locked**: Show warning, allow retry
|
|
- **DNS failure**: Show cached/manual IP options
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Validation Layers**
|
|
- **Input validation**: Real-time feedback on forms
|
|
- **Business rules**: Validate complete entries
|
|
- **System constraints**: Check file permissions, IP formats
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Recovery Mechanisms**
|
|
- **Backup restoration**: Automatic rollback on write failures
|
|
- **State recovery**: Restore UI state after errors
|
|
- **User guidance**: Clear error messages with suggested actions
|
|
|
|
## Testing Architecture
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Unit Tests**
|
|
- **Pure functions**: Parser, validator, DNS resolver
|
|
- **Mocked dependencies**: File system, network calls
|
|
- **Edge cases**: Malformed files, network errors
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Integration Tests**
|
|
- **TUI workflows**: Complete user interactions
|
|
- **File operations**: Real file system operations (in temp dirs)
|
|
- **Permission scenarios**: Test sudo/non-sudo paths
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Test Patterns**
|
|
- **Table-driven tests**: Multiple input scenarios
|
|
- **Mock interfaces**: Controllable external dependencies
|
|
- **Golden files**: Expected output comparisons
