Summary

This PR introduces a powerful Script Handler feature that enables dynamic request/response handling using Lua scripts with full JSON support. The implementation follows Go best practices, uses zero-buffering architecture for optimal performance, and provides a Go-style API that mirrors http.ResponseWriter.

🎯 Key Features

Script Handler

  • Inline or file-based scripts: Define Lua code directly in configuration or load from external files
  • Full request access: Method, URL, headers, query parameters, path parameters, and body
  • Zero-buffering architecture: Direct writes to http.ResponseWriter for streaming responses
  • Go-style API: Familiar methods like WriteHeader(), Write(), and WriteString()
  • Path-based routing: Support for static paths and variable segments (e.g., /users/{id})
  • Method filtering: Target specific HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.)

Available Libraries

  • math: Mathematical functions and constants
  • string: String manipulation and formatting
  • table: Array and dictionary operations
  • os: Time and date functions
  • json: Encoding/decoding with json.encode() and json.decode()

📊 Changes Overview

31 files changed, 2939 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)

New Files

  • docs/9. Script Handler.md - Comprehensive documentation (852 lines)
  • examples/SCRIPT-HANDLER-README.md - Usage guide with examples
  • examples/script-handler-examples.yaml - 12 working examples
  • internal/handler/script/*.go - Script handler implementation
  • internal/config/script.go - Configuration structures
  • internal/config/validators/script.go - Configuration validation

Test Coverage

  • 638 test lines covering all handler functionality
  • 248 test lines for configuration validation
  • 34 test cases including JSON encode/decode tests
  • All tests passing ✅

🏗️ Architecture

Zero-Buffering Design

All Lua operations write directly to Go's http.ResponseWriter:

Lua Script                  → ResponseWriter → HTTP Connection
    ↓                              ↓                 ↓
response:WriteString("x")    writer.Write()   Network Socket

Benefits:

  • Zero memory overhead (no buffering)
  • Instant data transmission
  • True streaming support
  • Minimal latency

API Design

Headers (Table Access)

response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
response:Header():Set("X-Custom", "value")  -- Alternative method style

Status & Body (Methods Only)

response:WriteHeader(200)      -- Set status code
response:WriteString("text")   -- Write response body
response:Write("data")         -- Alternative write method

Key principle: response.status and response.body are not accessible as properties - use methods instead. This prevents common bugs and enforces proper HTTP protocol order.

💡 Usage Examples

Simple JSON API

scripts:
  - path: /api/users/{id}
    method: GET
    script: |
      local json = require("json")
      local userId = request.path_params["id"]

      local data = {
        id = userId,
        name = "User " .. userId,
        timestamp = os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
      }

      response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
      response:WriteHeader(200)
      response:WriteString(json.encode(data))

Request Body Processing

scripts:
  - path: /api/users
    method: POST
    script: |
      local json = require("json")

      -- Parse and validate JSON
      local success, userData = pcall(json.decode, request.body)
      if not success or not userData.name then
        response:WriteHeader(400)
        response:WriteString(json.encode({error = "Invalid request"}))
        return
      end

      -- Create response
      response.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
      response:WriteHeader(201)
      response:WriteString(json.encode({
        id = os.time(),
        name = userData.name,
        created_at = os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
      }))

Implement comprehensive configuration validation for Lua scripts to catch errors early during config loading rather than at runtime.

Key features:
- Validates required path field (must be valid absolute path)
- Validates optional method field (must be valid HTTP method)
- Enforces mutual exclusivity between script and file fields
- Validates file existence when file is specified
- Validates that query parameter and header keys are not empty
- Integrates with existing validation framework

Tests include 14 comprehensive cases covering valid configs, invalid configs, and edge cases. All validation errors are caught at startup with clear error messages.
Clean up redundant comments that simply describe what the code is doing. The code is self-explanatory and these comments add no value.

Removed comments like:
- "Validate path (required)"
- "Create Lua state"
- "Set request properties"
- "Write CORS headers"
Replace all Lua-specific naming with agnostic terminology throughout
the codebase to support potential future script engine implementations.

Configuration changes:
- Rename config key: lua-scripts → scripts
- Rename types: LuaScript → Script, LuaScripts → Scripts
- Update Mapping struct field: LuaScripts → Scripts

Code changes:
- Rename package: internal/handler/lua → internal/handler/script
- Rename types: LuaHandlerFactory → ScriptHandlerFactory
- Rename functions: NewLuaHandler → NewHandler, makeLuaScriptRoutes → makeScriptRoutes
- Rename validators: LuaScriptValidator → ScriptValidator
- Update error messages: remove "lua" references
- Update logger names: NewLuaLogger → NewScriptLogger

Schema changes:
- Rename definition file: LuaScript.json → Script.json
- Update Mapping.json: lua-scripts → scripts
- Update all descriptions to use agnostic terminology

Documentation changes:
- Rename doc: "9. Lua Script Handler.md" → "9. Script Handler.md"
- Replace all Lua-specific references with generic "script" terminology
- Update feature descriptions to be engine-agnostic

Examples changes:
- Rename directory: examples/lua-scripts → examples/scripts
- Update configuration files to use "scripts" key
- Update example messages and comments

All tests passing and build successful.
Remove all example files as they are no longer needed.
Add support for accessing route path parameters in Lua scripts through
the request.path_params table. Path parameters are extracted from URL
patterns using wildcards like /users/{id}/posts/{postId}.

Changes:
- Add path_params table to request object in script handler
- Extract path variables using mux.Vars() from gorilla/mux
- Add test for path parameters functionality
- Add SetMuxVars helper function in testutils for testing
- Update documentation with path_params property and examples

Example usage:
```yaml
scripts:
  - path: /users/{id}
    script: |
      local id = request.path_params["id"]
      response.body = '{"user": "' .. id .. '"}'
```

All tests passing.
Implement http.ResponseWriter-style methods for Lua response object to provide
a more familiar API for Go developers:

- response:WriteHeader(code) - Set HTTP status code
- response:Write(data) - Append data to response body
- response:WriteString(str) - Append string to response body
- response:Header() - Get headers object with Set/Get methods
  - Header():Set(key, value) - Set header value
  - Header():Get(key) - Get header value

Both table-based (response.status = 200) and Go-style APIs can be used
interchangeably in the same script, providing flexibility for different
coding styles and preferences.

Updated documentation with comprehensive examples of both API styles
and their usage patterns.
Instead of accumulating data in Lua tables and reading it at the end,
response methods now write directly to Go responseState structure:

- Created responseState struct to hold status, headers, and body
- Implemented Lua metatables (__index/__newindex) for transparent
  property access that reads/writes to Go state
- Both table-based API (response.body = "text") and method-based API
  (response:WriteString("text")) now write to the same Go structures
- Simplified writeResponse to just copy from state to writer

Benefits:
- More efficient: no intermediate storage in Lua
- Better memory management: data stored in Go slices/maps
- Cleaner architecture: single source of truth in Go state
- Maintains full backward compatibility with existing scripts

All tests pass, including mixed API usage test that verifies both
table and method APIs work together seamlessly.
Simplified the code by removing the separate writeResponse method and
inlining its logic directly into executeScript after script execution.

Changes:
- Removed writeResponse method (no longer needed)
- Inlined response writing logic into executeScript
- Cleaned up responseState struct (removed unused fields)
- Removed unused error variables (ErrResponseNotTable, etc.)

Benefits:
- Simpler code flow: write happens immediately after script execution
- Fewer indirections: no separate method call
- Cleaner structure: responseState only contains necessary fields
- Same functionality: all tests pass without changes

All tests pass successfully.
Added detailed explanation of internal architecture to clarify that both
API styles (table-based and method-based) write directly to Go structures:

Changes:
- Added "Internal Architecture" section explaining direct Go writes
- Clarified that operations write to Go http.Header and byte slices
- Emphasized single source of truth in Go memory
- Added comments in mixed API example showing Go writes
- Added best practices about API mixing and performance

Key points for users:
- Both API styles are equally performant
- No overhead from API style choice
- Data stored efficiently in Go memory, not Lua VM
- Free to mix both styles in same script

This documentation update corresponds to the architectural improvements
made in commits 8f5f2e4 and 88e425e.
Simplified the code by removing the responseState struct and using
local variables with closures instead. This achieves the same goal
with cleaner code.

Changes:
- Removed responseState struct type
- Replaced with local variables (statusCode, headers, body)
- Passed pointers to these variables to createResponseTable
- Closures capture these variables for Lua method implementations
- Same functionality, simpler code structure

Benefits:
- Less code: no struct definition needed
- Clearer intent: variables are local to executeScript scope
- Same performance: no difference in memory allocation
- Easier to understand: data flow is more obvious

All tests pass successfully.
Complete rewrite to eliminate ALL intermediate state - Lua methods now
write directly to http.ResponseWriter as requested.

Changes:
- Removed all local variables (statusCode, headers, body)
- Lua methods write directly to writer:
  - response.body = "text" → writer.Write(...)
  - response:WriteString("text") → writer.Write(...)
  - response.headers["X"] = "Y" → writer.Header().Set(...)
  - response:WriteHeader(200) → writer.WriteHeader(...)
- Added headerWritten flag to prevent multiple WriteHeader calls
- Auto-call WriteHeader(200) before first Write if not called
- CORS headers set before script execution
- response.body and response.status are now write-only

Breaking changes:
- response.body cannot be read anymore (returns nil)
- User must call methods in correct HTTP order (headers → WriteHeader → Write)
- If user calls in wrong order, HTTP protocol rules apply

Benefits:
- Zero buffering: data flows directly to HTTP connection
- True streaming: writes happen during script execution
- Maximum simplicity: no intermediate state management
- Go-idiomatic: same semantics as http.ResponseWriter

All tests pass after minor adjustment (can't read response.body anymore).
…r usage

Updated documentation and created practical examples to demonstrate the
zero-buffering architecture where Lua scripts write directly to HTTP.

Documentation updates (docs/9. Script Handler.md):
- Replaced "Go structures" explanation with "Direct ResponseWriter" architecture
- Added clear diagram showing Lua → ResponseWriter → Network flow
- Added "Important Notes" section with warnings about write-only properties
- Added "Correct order" and "Wrong order" examples
- Updated examples to show real-time data transmission
- Updated tips & best practices with critical HTTP order warnings

New Examples:
1. examples/script-handler-examples.yaml - 10 practical examples:
   - Simple JSON response (correct order)
   - Streaming response with multiple writes
   - Dynamic content assembly
   - Error handling
   - Custom headers
   - Query parameter processing
   - Large response streaming
   - Conditional responses
   - Wrong order example (anti-pattern)
   - Mixed API usage

2. examples/SCRIPT-HANDLER-README.md - Complete guide with:
   - Key concepts and architecture explanation
   - Running instructions
   - Example breakdown with flow diagrams
   - API comparison (table vs method style)
   - Common patterns
   - Important limitations
   - Performance benefits
   - Testing instructions

These examples help users understand:
- Zero buffering means data goes straight to network
- HTTP protocol order must be respected
- Properties are write-only
- Both API styles work identically
- True streaming capabilities
Changed Lua API to prevent direct assignment to response.body and
response.status. These properties can now only be modified through
methods (WriteHeader, Write, WriteString), while response.headers
remains a table with direct read/write access.

Changes:
- Block direct assignment to response.status and response.body in
  __newindex metamethod
- Return nil for reads of response.status and response.body in
  __index metamethod
- Update all tests to use method-based API
- Update documentation examples to reflect new API design

This provides better control over response writing and enforces
correct HTTP response order (headers -> status -> body).
Updated all documentation to reflect the new API where response.status
and response.body are no longer accessible as properties and must be
set using methods:
- response:WriteHeader(code) for status
- response:Write(data) or response:WriteString(str) for body
- response.headers remains accessible as a table

Changes:
- Update all code examples in Script Handler documentation
- Update examples README with correct API usage
- Clarify that status/body cannot be read or assigned directly
- Update API comparison sections
- Fix all inline examples to use method-based API
Split the monolithic handler.go (312 lines) into focused, single-responsibility
files for better maintainability and testability:

New file structure:
- handler.go (76 lines) - HTTP handler and script execution logic
- handler_options.go (28 lines) - Handler configuration options
- errors.go (6 lines) - Error constants and definitions
- lua_state.go (18 lines) - Lua state initialization and library loading
- lua_request.go (97 lines) - Request object builder for Lua
- lua_response.go (201 lines) - Response object builder for Lua
- handler_test.go (612 lines) - Comprehensive test suite

Benefits:
- Single Responsibility Principle - each file has one clear purpose
- Improved readability - smaller, focused files
- Better testability - isolated concerns
- Easier maintenance - changes are localized
- Clear separation between HTTP handling, Lua bridge, and state management

All existing tests pass without modification, ensuring zero behavioral changes.
Fixed all linter warnings reported by golangci-lint:

1. Fixed captLocal warnings (gocritic):
   - Renamed 'L' parameter to 'luaState' for better readability
   - Renamed 'L' in closures to 'state' to avoid shadowing
   - Renamed short variable 'v' to 'value' in loops

2. Fixed magic number warnings (mnd):
   - Added constants for Lua stack positions (luaArgKey=2, luaArgValue=3)
   - Added constants for Lua return values (luaReturnOne=1, luaReturnTwo=2)
   - Improved code clarity with named constants

3. Fixed varnamelen warnings:
   - Renamed 'L' variables to 'luaState' throughout the codebase
   - Renamed 'n' to 'bytesWritten' for clarity
   - Used descriptive names for Lua function parameters

Note: TestScriptHandler has cognitive complexity of 33 (>30), but this is
acceptable for a comprehensive test suite covering multiple scenarios.

All tests pass successfully. Zero behavioral changes.
Removed all AI-style explanatory comments from the script handler module.
The code is self-documenting with clear function and variable names
following Go best practices.
Added layeh.com/gopher-json library to enable JSON encoding/decoding
in Lua scripts. This allows scripts to parse JSON request bodies and
generate JSON responses easily.

Changes:
- Added json.encode() and json.decode() functions
- Updated documentation with JSON library usage and examples
- Added comprehensive JSON tests (encode/decode)
- Added example endpoints demonstrating JSON functionality
- Updated feature list to include JSON library
Updated all main documentation files to include information about
the new Script Handler feature with Lua scripting and JSON support.

Changes:
- Added Script Handler to feature list in README.md
- Added Script Handler to documentation index in Home.md
- Updated Configuration.md with scripts example
- Updated Request flow to include script processing stage
- Added Script Handler to ROADMAP.md Next Release section

Move app.Close() call before reading from log buffer to ensure all
goroutines complete their logging operations. This prevents concurrent
access to the bytes.Buffer which is not thread-safe.
