# Go project patterns
## New endpoint checklist
1. Define request/response types in `types.go`
2. Write handler in `handlers.go` using `http.HandlerFunc`
3. Add route in `routes.go`
4. Write table-driven test in `handlers_test.go`
5. Run `task check` before committing
## Error handling pattern
```go
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("descriptiveOperation: %w", err)
}
```
Never log and return — do one or the other.
## HTMX response pattern
```go
func (h *Handler) ListItems(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
items, err := h.store.List(r.Context())
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "failed to list items", http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
if r.Header.Get("HX-Request") == "true" {
h.templates.Render(w, "items/_list", items)
return
}
h.templates.Render(w, "items/index", items)
}
```
## Dependency policy
- Prefer stdlib: `net/http`, `encoding/json`, `database/sql`
- Allowed without justification: `testify`, `slog`, `templ`, `sqlc`
- Needs justification in commit message: anything else
