Server patches the ConnectionIndicator element with a timestamp on
each heartbeat. Client-side JS checks every second if the timestamp
is stale (>20s) and toggles red/green accordingly.
This properly detects connection loss since the indicator will turn
red if no patches are received.
- 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.
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.
- 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
