# go-api
REST framework + OpenAPI SDK generation for the Lethean Go ecosystem.
## Overview
go-api provides a Gin-based HTTP engine that subsystems plug into via the `RouteGroup` interface. Each ecosystem package (go-ml, go-rag, go-agentic, etc.) registers its own route group, and go-api handles the HTTP plumbing, middleware, response envelopes, WebSocket integration, and OpenAPI spec generation.
## Quick Start
```go
import api "forge.lthn.ai/core/go-api"
engine, _ := api.New(
api.WithAddr(":8080"),
api.WithBearerAuth("my-token"),
api.WithCORS("*"),
api.WithRequestID(),
api.WithSwagger("My API", "Description", "0.1.0"),
)
engine.Register(myRoutes)
engine.Serve(ctx)
```
## Implementing a RouteGroup
```go
type Routes struct{ service *mypackage.Service }
func (r *Routes) Name() string { return "mypackage" }
func (r *Routes) BasePath() string { return "/v1/mypackage" }
func (r *Routes) RegisterRoutes(rg *gin.RouterGroup) {
rg.GET("/items", r.ListItems)
rg.POST("/items", r.CreateItem)
}
func (r *Routes) ListItems(c *gin.Context) {
items, _ := r.service.List(c.Request.Context())
c.JSON(200, api.OK(items))
}
```
## Features
- **Response envelope** — `api.OK()`, `api.Fail()`, `api.Paginated()` for consistent JSON responses
- **Middleware** — Bearer auth, CORS, request ID generation, panic recovery
- **WebSocket** — `WithWSHandler()` mounts any `http.Handler` at `/ws`
- **Swagger UI** — `WithSwagger()` serves interactive API docs at `/swagger/`
- **Health check** — Built-in `GET /health` endpoint
