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 optimizes the MySQL recipe within the Go Fiber application by refining API endpoint structures, enhancing error handling with standard HTTP status codes, and streamlining database interactions. The changes aim to improve the robustness, clarity, and RESTfulness of the employee management API.

Highlights

  • API Endpoint Refinements: The API endpoints for employee management have been significantly refined. New endpoints for fetching a single employee by ID (GET /employee/:id) have been introduced. The PUT and DELETE operations now accept the employee ID as a path parameter (/employee/:id) for more RESTful design.
  • Improved Error Handling and HTTP Status Codes: Error handling across all endpoints has been standardized and improved, utilizing appropriate net/http status codes such as http.StatusInternalServerError, http.StatusBadRequest, http.StatusNotFound, http.StatusCreated, and http.StatusNoContent for clearer API responses.
  • Optimized Database Operations: Database write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) now correctly use db.Exec instead of db.Query, which is more suitable for commands that do not return rows. This also includes retrieving the LastInsertId for new records.
  • Code Simplification: Unnecessary host and port constants for database connection have been removed, and the Employees struct (a wrapper for a slice of employees) has been eliminated, simplifying the structure of JSON responses for employee lists.

Walkthrough

Refactors employee endpoints in mysql/main.go to return Employee or []Employee directly (removed Employees wrapper), adds HTTP status-centric error handling (400/404/201/204/etc.), switches writes to db.Exec with RowsAffected checks, parses/validates route IDs and request bodies, and updates SQL/response construction.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Single-file API & DB logic
mysql/main.go
Reworked CRUD handlers: removed exported Employees wrapper; GET /employee returns []Employee; GET /employee/:id returns single Employee or 404; POST parses body, inserts and returns 201 with generated ID; PUT parses ID/body, updates, checks RowsAffected, returns 200 or 404; DELETE checks RowsAffected, returns 204 or 404.
Error & HTTP status handling
mysql/main.go
Standardized net/http status codes for 400, 404, 201, 204, 500; added input validation for route ID and request body with explicit 400 responses.
DB access pattern changes
mysql/main.go
Use db.Exec for mutations (insert/update/delete) and db.Query/db.QueryRow for reads; added LastInsertId and RowsAffected checks; minor SQL formatting/casing tweaks.

I thump where rows and queries meet,
IDs hop straight and errors greet.
A new 201 bounces in delight,
204 slips softly into night.
I nibble wrappers now set free—🥕🐇

Code Review

This pull request significantly improves the MySQL recipe by adopting more RESTful API design principles and robust error handling. The handlers for creating, updating, and deleting employees now use path parameters for IDs, return appropriate HTTP status codes, and check for non-existent records. I've identified a few places where errors from database result methods are ignored, which could lead to unexpected behavior. Addressing these will make the code even more reliable.

108-109: Handle the error from LastInsertId().

The error returned by result.LastInsertId() is being ignored. This method can return an error if the driver does not support it or if the operation fails. Handle this error to prevent unexpected behavior.

Apply this diff:

-		id, _ := result.LastInsertId()
-		emp.ID = int(id)
+		id, err := result.LastInsertId()
+		if err != nil {
+			return c.Status(http.StatusInternalServerError).SendString(err.Error())
+		}
+		emp.ID = int(id)

130-133: Handle the error from RowsAffected().

The error returned by result.RowsAffected() is being ignored. This method can return an error if the driver doesn't support it. Handle this potential error to make the handler more robust.

Apply this diff:

-		rowsAffected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
-		if rowsAffected == 0 {
-			return c.SendStatus(http.StatusNotFound)
-		}
+		rowsAffected, err := result.RowsAffected()
+		if err != nil {
+			return c.Status(http.StatusInternalServerError).SendString(err.Error())
+		}
+		if rowsAffected == 0 {
+			return c.SendStatus(http.StatusNotFound)
+		}

135-135: Set emp.ID from the path parameter before returning.

The returned JSON may contain a client-supplied ID (often zero or incorrect) instead of the actual path parameter ID. Set emp.ID to the parsed path parameter before returning to ensure the response reflects the correct resource ID.

Apply this diff:

+		emp.ID = id
 		return c.JSON(emp)

149-152: Handle the error from RowsAffected().

The error returned by result.RowsAffected() is being ignored. This method can return an error if the driver doesn't support it. Handle this potential error to make the handler more robust.

Apply this diff:

-		rowsAffected, _ := result.RowsAffected()
-		if rowsAffected == 0 {
-			return c.SendStatus(http.StatusNotFound)
-		}
+		rowsAffected, err := result.RowsAffected()
+		if err != nil {
+			return c.Status(http.StatusInternalServerError).SendString(err.Error())
+		}
+		if rowsAffected == 0 {
+			return c.SendStatus(http.StatusNotFound)
+		}
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
mysql/main.go (2)

99-101: Consider adding input validation for Employee fields.

The code currently accepts any values for Name, Salary, and Age without validation. Consider adding checks for edge cases such as empty names, negative salaries, or invalid age ranges to improve data quality and prevent unexpected database states.

Example validation:

if err := c.BodyParser(&emp); err != nil {
    return c.Status(http.StatusBadRequest).SendString(err.Error())
}
if emp.Name == "" {
    return c.Status(http.StatusBadRequest).SendString("name is required")
}
if emp.Salary < 0 {
    return c.Status(http.StatusBadRequest).SendString("salary must be non-negative")
}
if emp.Age < 0 || emp.Age > 150 {
    return c.Status(http.StatusBadRequest).SendString("invalid age")
}

Also applies to: 121-123


61-61: Consider sanitizing error messages in production.

The handlers currently return raw database error messages directly to clients. In production, this could expose internal implementation details or sensitive information. Consider logging detailed errors server-side and returning generic error messages to clients.

Example approach:

if err != nil {
    log.Printf("Database error: %v", err)
    return c.Status(http.StatusInternalServerError).SendString("internal server error")
}

Also applies to: 69-69, 74-74, 91-91, 105-105, 127-127, 146-146

10-11: LGTM: Import additions are appropriate.

The net/http and strconv imports are correctly added to support HTTP status code constants and ID parameter parsing throughout the endpoints.
