Summary of Changes

Hello @stewartmbofana, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the MongoDB recipe by optimizing its connection setup and refining the implementation of its CRUD API endpoints. The changes aim to make the code more concise, robust, and easier to maintain, while also addressing a small textual error in a separate authentication recipe.

Highlights

  • MongoDB Recipe Optimization: The MongoDB recipe's connection logic has been streamlined, removing an unnecessary defer disconnect and simplifying database instance assignment. All CRUD operations (Get All, Get One, Create, Update, Delete) have been refactored for improved readability, efficiency, and more precise error handling, including the use of bson.M for cleaner queries and specific HTTP status codes for different error scenarios.
  • Typo Fix: A minor typo was corrected in the auth-docker-postgres-jwt recipe, changing 'Hello i'm ok!' to 'Hello I'm ok!' in the API success message.

Code Review

This pull request introduces several optimizations to the MongoDB recipe, making the code more idiomatic, efficient, and robust. The handlers for CRUD operations have been significantly simplified, and error handling is improved. A typo in another recipe was also fixed.

The changes are generally excellent. I've pointed out a critical issue regarding a resource leak due to a missing database disconnect call, which was inadvertently introduced while fixing another bug. I've also noted a medium-severity issue where an API response for empty data sets was changed from an empty array [] to null, which could be a breaking change for clients.

Overall, great work on cleaning up this recipe. Addressing these points will make it even better.

42-54: Critical: MongoDB connection is never closed.

The removal of the deferred disconnect block creates a resource leak. Without calling client.Disconnect(), MongoDB connections will accumulate and eventually exhaust the connection pool.

Apply this diff to restore connection cleanup:

 func Connect() error {
 	client, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), options.Client().ApplyURI(mongoURI))
 	if err != nil {
 		return err
 	}
 
+	// Verify connection
+	if err := client.Ping(context.TODO(), nil); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+
 	mg = MongoInstance{
 		Client: client,
 		Db:     client.Database(dbName),
 	}
 
 	return nil
 }

Additionally, add a cleanup function and call it in main:

// Cleanup closes the MongoDB connection
func Cleanup() error {
	return mg.Client.Disconnect(context.TODO())
}

Then in main(), add before log.Fatal:

+	defer func() {
+		if err := Cleanup(); err != nil {
+			log.Println("Error disconnecting from MongoDB:", err)
+		}
+	}()
+
 	log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))

7-7: LGTM! Grammatical correction applied.

The capitalization of "I" improves the user-facing message quality.

mongodb/main.go (4)

68-79: LGTM! Improved cursor handling.

The addition of defer cursor.Close(c.Context()) ensures proper resource cleanup, and using cursor.All() simplifies the code while maintaining correctness.


83-99: LGTM! Proper error handling and status codes.

The error handling correctly distinguishes between invalid IDs (400), missing documents (404), and server errors (500), following REST conventions.


121-148: LGTM! Clean update implementation.

The update operation correctly uses FindOneAndUpdate with proper error handling and status codes. Setting the ID from URL params ensures the response contains the correct identifier.


152-168: LGTM! Correct deletion logic and status codes.

The delete operation properly returns 404 when the document doesn't exist and 204 (No Content) on successful deletion, following REST conventions.

34-38: Fix _id decoding: string field now breaks all reads.

MongoDB returns _id as primitive.ObjectID, but Employee.ID is a string. With the new cursor.All/FindOne calls, the driver will fail with cannot decode objectID into string, so both list and detail endpoints now return 500. Use primitive.ObjectID (or a custom type) for the BSON field and convert to hex only when responding.

 type Employee struct {
-	ID     string  `json:"id,omitempty" bson:"_id,omitempty"`
+	ID     primitive.ObjectID `json:"id,omitempty" bson:"_id,omitempty"`
 	Name   string  `json:"name"`
 	Salary float64 `json:"salary"`
 	Age    float64 `json:"age"`
 }

Then, before returning JSON, assign employee.ID = insertedID and, if you need hex strings in responses, map to a DTO that exposes ID: insertedID.Hex().

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
mongodb/main.go (3)

43-55: Consider adding connection cleanup for production use.

While simplified connection handling works for a recipe/example, production deployments should properly close the MongoDB connection to prevent resource leaks. Consider adding a cleanup mechanism or documenting this limitation.

Example cleanup approach:

// In main(), after app.Listen or use signal handling
defer func() {
    if err := mg.Client.Disconnect(context.TODO()); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Error disconnecting from MongoDB: %v", err)
    }
}()

75-75: Initialize as empty slice to avoid null in JSON response.

When no employees exist, a nil slice serializes to null in JSON. Initialize as an empty slice for better API consistency.

Apply this diff:

-		var employees []Employee
+		employees := []Employee{}

143-152: Status code fix applied correctly; consider returning actual DB state.

The HTTP 404 status code fix from the previous review has been properly applied. However, the handler returns the request body rather than fetching the updated document from the database. For a recipe, this simplification is acceptable, but production code should return the actual stored state to reflect any DB-side transformations or validations.

To return the actual updated document, you could use FindOneAndUpdate with options.After:

opts := options.FindOneAndUpdate().SetReturnDocument(options.After)
var updatedEmployee Employee
err = mg.Db.Collection("employees").FindOneAndUpdate(
    c.Context(), 
    bson.M{"_id": id}, 
    update,
    opts,
).Decode(&updatedEmployee)
if err != nil {
    if err == mongo.ErrNoDocuments {
        return c.SendStatus(http.StatusNotFound)
    }
    return c.SendStatus(http.StatusInternalServerError)
}
return c.JSON(updatedEmployee)

9-9: LGTM! Using HTTP status constants improves readability.

The addition of net/http import enables the use of named HTTP status constants (e.g., http.StatusNotFound) throughout the handlers, which is more maintainable than numeric literals.


85-99: LGTM! Proper error handling and status codes.

The handler correctly validates the ID format (400), distinguishes missing documents (404) from other errors (500), and returns the employee data directly. Well structured.


116-121: LGTM! Safe type assertion properly implemented.

The safe type assertion from the previous review has been correctly implemented, preventing potential panics. Returning 201 with the created resource (including the generated ID) follows REST best practices.


168-172: LGTM! Correct status codes for delete operation.

The HTTP 404 status code fix from the previous review has been properly applied. Returning 204 No Content on successful deletion is the correct REST pattern.
