Monolith Model Development

Use this skill when

  • Adding a new persisted domain entity.
  • Updating schema and model helpers.

Default approach

  1. Scaffold with make generator model <Name> field:type... when possible.
  2. Confirm model is added to db/db.go AutoMigrate list.
  3. Add/adjust helper functions in app/models/<name>.go.
  4. Add tests under app/models/*_test.go and run go test ./....

Expected model conventions

  • Embed gorm.Model.
  • Include IsActive bool soft-delete style flag.
  • Provide CRUD helpers (CreateX, GetXByID, GetAllXs, UpdateX, DeleteX).
  • Keep validation in hooks (BeforeSave/AfterSave) or explicit helper functions.

If you need full REST scaffolding

Use make generator resource <singular> field:type.... This will create model + controller + routes + views in one pass.

Migration notes

  • Auto migration occurs during db.InitDB() on startup.
  • Adding a model without registering it in AutoMigrate means no schema creation.
