- Add ConnectionIndicator component showing green/red dot
- Send lastPing signal every 15 seconds via SSE
- Indicator turns red if no ping received in 20 seconds
- Gives users confidence the live connection is active
Room.Subscribe() now returns a channel of parsed Message structs
instead of raw NATS messages. The room handles NATS subscription
and message parsing internally, so callers no longer need to call
Receive() separately.
Previously patchAll() re-rendered the full GameContent on every chat
message, which was inefficient and could cause UI glitches. Now we
append just the new ChatMessage to the chat history element.
The default Datastar requestCancellation:'auto' was causing SSE
connections to be cancelled whenever users interacted with the page
(making moves, sending chat messages, etc.), breaking live updates.
Replace invalid .key_enter and .enter modifiers with evt.key === 'Enter'
guard in the expression, per Datastar docs. Also fix __stop and __throttle
modifier syntax to use double underscores.
Move SaveMessage/LoadMessages logic into Room as private methods.
NewPersistentRoom auto-loads history and auto-saves on Send, removing
the need for handlers to coordinate persistence separately.
Create chat/ package with Message type, Room (NATS pub/sub + buffer),
DB persistence helpers, and a unified templ component parameterized by
Config (CSS prefix, post URL, color function, key propagation).
Both c4game and snakegame now use chat.Room for message management and
chatcomponents.Chat for rendering, eliminating the duplicated
ChatMessage types, chat templ components, chatAutoScroll scripts,
color functions, and inline buffer management.
Add GetPlayerID, GetUserID, GetNickname to the sessions package.
Remove the inline player-ID-from-session pattern duplicated across
every handler in c4game and snakegame, and the local getPlayerID
helper in snakegame.
Both game and snake packages had identical PlayerID types and the snake
package imported game.GenerateID. Now both use player.ID and
player.GenerateID from the shared player package.
Generated _templ.go files are deterministic output from .templ sources,
same as output.css from input.css. Remove them from version control to
reduce diff noise and merge conflicts. Add build:templ and live:templ
tasks to the Taskfile so generation happens as part of the build.
Replace CDN-hosted datastar beta.11 with local v1.0.0-RC.7 to fix
client-side expression incompatibilities with the Go SDK. Also fix
quoted CSS class keys in data-class expressions, harden session cookie
settings (named cookie, Secure flag), simplify SetupRoutes to not
return an error, and regenerate templ output.
- Add brotli compression (level 5) to long-lived SSE event streams
(HandleGameEvents, HandleSnakeEvents) to reduce wire payload
- Fix all errcheck violations with nolint annotations for best-effort calls
- Fix goimports: separate stdlib, third-party, and local import groups
- Fix staticcheck: add package comments, use tagged switch
- Zero lint issues remaining
Migrate from the via meta-framework to direct dependencies:
- chi for routing, templ for HTML templates, datastar for SSE/reactivity
- Feature-sliced architecture (features/{auth,lobby,c4game,snakegame}/)
- Shared layouts and components (features/common/)
- Handler factory pattern (HandleX(deps) http.HandlerFunc)
- Embedded NATS server (nats/), SCS sessions (sessions/), chi router wiring (router/)
- Move ChatMessage domain type from ui package to game package
- Remove old ui/ package (gomponents-based via/h views)
- Remove via dependency from go.mod entirely
