Rule Presets

Provides embedded, pre-configured rule sets for common routing patterns.

Overview

The internal/route/rules/presets package provides embedded YAML rule configurations that can be reused across routes. Presets are compiled into the binary and loaded at runtime via sync.Once initialization.

Primary Consumers

• Route configuration: Applies preset rules to routes
• WebUI: Provides default rules for web applications
• API gateway: Common patterns for API routes

Non-goals

• Does not modify presets at runtime
• Does not provide dynamic preset loading
• Does not support preset inheritance/overriding

Stability

Internal package. Preset content is stable but may change between versions.

Public API

Exported Functions

// GetRulePreset retrieves a preset by name
func GetRulePreset(name string) (rules.Rules, bool)

Contract:

• Uses sync.Once for one-time initialization
• Returns a copy of the preset rules
• Second return value indicates if preset exists

webui Preset

The default preset for GoDoxy WebUI:

What it does:

1. Allows unauthenticated access to /login
2. Requires auth for most paths, excluding static assets and auth endpoints
3. Proxies /api/v1/* to backend
4. Rewrites and proxies /auth/* to backend

Dependency and Integration Map

Dependency	Purpose
internal/route/rules	Rules engine for preset content
internal/serialization	YAML parsing
sync	One-time initialization

Observability

Logs

• DEBUG: Preset loading errors
• WARN: Missing preset files

Security Considerations

• Presets are compiled into binary (immutable at runtime)
• Environment variable substitution (${VAR}) supports secure configuration
• No runtime preset modification possible

Failure Modes and Recovery

Failure	Behavior	Recovery
Preset file missing	Returns (nil, false)	Check preset exists
YAML parse error	Panic during init	Fix preset YAML
Unknown preset name	Returns (nil, false)	Use valid preset name

Usage Examples

Loading a Preset

import "github.com/yusing/godoxy/internal/route/rules/presets"

rules, ok := presets.GetRulePreset("webui")
if !ok {
    return fmt.Errorf("preset not found")
}

// Apply rules to a handler
handler := rules.BuildHandler(upstreamHandler)

Creating a Custom Preset

# internal/route/rules/presets/api-gateway.yml
- name: cors headers
  on: method OPTIONS
  do: |
    set header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
    set header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"
    error 204 "No Content"

- name: auth required
  on: !path /health
  do: require_auth

Then load it:

rules, ok := presets.GetRulePreset("api-gateway")

Using Preset in Route Config

routes:
  webapp:
    target: http://localhost:3000
    rules: |
      - name: include webui preset
        do: include webui
      - name: additional rule
        on: path /custom/*
        do: proxy http://custom:8080

Limitations

• Presets are read-only after initialization
• No runtime preset modification
• All presets loaded at first access (no lazy loading)
• No preset merging (caller must handle)
