Anclax Development Workflow

Use Anclax generated types as the contract between layers and keep specs/SQL as the source of truth.

Core flow

1. Inspect anclax.yaml to learn generation paths and enabled generators.
2. Update sources first:
   • OpenAPI: api/v1.yaml
   • Tasks: api/tasks.yaml
   • DB schema: sql/migrations
   • Queries: sql/queries
3. Run anclax gen after any spec/SQL/Wire changes.
4. Implement code against generated interfaces and types.
5. Add unit tests for service logic with mocks.

Layering rules

• Handler: parse HTTP, call service, map errors to HTTP responses.
• Service: implement business logic, accept and return apigen types.
• Model: use pkg/zcore/model and sqlc-generated queries.
• Async tasks: define in api/tasks.yaml, implement taskgen.ExecutorInterface, enqueue via taskgen.TaskRunner.

References and Examples

• CRUD operations: End-to-end CRUD flow and mapping examples.
• OpenAPI Spec: Conventions for OpenAPI specs in Anclax.
• Business Logic: Service-layer rules and error handling.
• Database: SQL/schema rules and transaction helpers.
• Dependency Injection: Wire DI conventions.
• Async Tasks: Task definitions, execution, retries, and hooks.
