## Configuration

Configuration is managed through `conf/app.ini`:

```ini
[app]
PageSize = 10                    # Pagination page size
JwtSecret = 233                  # JWT signing secret
PrefixUrl = http://127.0.0.1:8000
RuntimeRootPath = runtime/
ImageSavePath = upload/images/
ImageMaxSize = 5                 # Max image size in MB
ImageAllowExts = .jpg,.jpeg,.png
ExportSavePath = export/
QrCodeSavePath = qrcode/
FontSavePath = fonts/
LogSavePath = logs/

[server]
RunMode = debug                  # debug or release
HttpPort = 8000
ReadTimeout = 60                 # seconds
WriteTimeout = 60                # seconds

[database]
Type = mysql
User = root
Password = rootroot
Host = 127.0.0.1:3306
Name = blog
TablePrefix = blog_

[redis]
Host = 127.0.0.1:6379
Password =
MaxIdle = 30
MaxActive = 30
IdleTimeout = 200
```

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Go 1.13+
- MySQL 5.6+
- Redis

### Database Setup

1. Create a MySQL database named `blog`
2. Execute the SQL script:
```bash
mysql -u root -p blog < docs/sql/blog.sql
```

### Configuration

1. Edit `conf/app.ini` to match your environment
2. Update database credentials
3. Update Redis connection settings

### Running the Application

```bash
# Build
make build

# Run
./go-gin-example

# Or run directly
go run main.go
```

The server will start at `http://localhost:8000`

### Using Docker

```bash
# Build image
docker build -t go-gin-example .

# Run container
docker run -p 8000:8000 go-gin-example
```

## API Usage Examples

### 1. Get Authentication Token

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/auth \
  -d "username=test&password=test123"
```

Response:
```json
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "ok",
  "data": {
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
  }
}
```

### 2. Create a Tag

```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/tags?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d "name=Go&created_by=admin&state=1"
```

### 3. Get Tags List

```bash
curl "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/tags?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
```

### 4. Create an Article

```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/articles?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d "tag_id=1&title=Hello Gin&desc=Introduction to Gin&content=Article content...&created_by=admin&cover_image_url=http://example.com/image.jpg&state=1"
```

### 5. Upload an Image

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/upload \
  -F "image=@/path/to/image.jpg"
```

### 6. Export Tags to Excel

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tags/export
```

## Key Design Patterns

### 1. Soft Delete
All models use soft delete by setting `deleted_on` timestamp instead of actual deletion.

### 2. Redis Caching
Articles and tags are cached in Redis with 1-hour TTL to reduce database load.

### 3. Service Layer Pattern
Business logic is separated into service layer, keeping handlers thin and focused on request/response handling.

### 4. Unified Response Format
All API responses follow consistent format:
```json
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "ok",
  "data": {}
}
```

### 5. Custom GORM Callbacks
Custom callbacks for automatic timestamp management:
- `CreatedOn` set on create
- `ModifiedOn` updated on modifications
- `DeletedOn` set on soft delete

## Error Codes

| Code | Description |
|------|-------------|
| 200 | Success |
| 400 | Invalid parameters |
| 500 | Internal server error |
| 10001 | Tag already exists |
| 10003 | Tag not found |
| 10011 | Article not found |
| 20001 | Token validation failed |
| 20002 | Token expired |
| 20003 | Token generation error |
| 20004 | Authentication failed |
| 30001 | Image save failed |
| 30002 | Image check failed |
| 30003 | Invalid image format |
