The design philosophy is the soul of the GoFrame framework, and for users, it is an indispensable inherent knowledge.

Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish. Compared to technique frameworks and component usage, we want to tell everyone why you should do this, why you should do that.

GoFrame has its unique design philosophy; understanding the design philosophy of GoFrame means you understand the entirety of GoFrame.

📄️ Modular DesignThe principles of software modular design and reuse, with a detailed explanation of principles like Reuse/Release Equivalency, Common Closure Principle, and Common Reuse Principle. Through the GoFrame framework’s modular design case study, emphasis is placed on the importance of maintainability and the strategy for balancing module design. Modular design helps improve development efficiency and code quality, ensuring software stability and ease of maintenance.

📄️ Unified Framework DesignThe unified development framework is key to software architecture and code development. Through technical systematization, development standardization, component unification, and version consistency, it achieves high coordination and maintainability, avoids resource waste, and helps development teams focus on business itself. This framework offers efficient error stack tracing capabilities and possesses strong combat power and cohesion, providing the foundation for a virtuous cycle between enterprises and the community. The GoFrame framework achieves these features and is an essential tool for modern software development.

📄️ OpenTelemetry TracingLink tracing is one of the key observability metrics, and the GoFrame framework excels in supporting the OpenTelemetry standard. This article explores the challenges of link tracing in project practices and how to achieve full link tracing using the GoFrame framework, ensuring standard implementation and log support. The framework’s unified components and standard detection tools help enhance the stability of business projects.

📄️ Error StackGoFrame framework’s strategy and design in error handling, which address common issues of missing error stacks and redundant logs in projects through unified error handling solutions and error components. The whole component of GoFrame framework supports error stack functionality, reducing the cost of troubleshooting and maintenance, and enhancing the stability and usability of projects.

📄️ Interface and GenericThe basic concepts and applications of interface and generic design in the GoFrame framework, emphasizing the flexibility and extensibility brought by interface design, using generics to enhance parameter flexibility while simplifying usage complexity. In practical applications, flexible component interface layer design is achieved through Adapter with multiple default implementations to choose from.

📄️ Implicit and Explicit InitInitialization operations that need to be performed when the program starts, including implicit and explicit initialization in the GoFrame framework. Implicit initialization is implemented through the package’s init method, but may cause the program to fail to start. It is recommended to call for complex initialization explicitly. Explicit initialization is preferable in business development to ensure maintainability of the program.

📄️ Golang EnumsImplementing enum values in Go. Although Go itself doesn’t support enum definition, it can simulate enum types using const. This method is widely used in Kubernetes projects. Additionally, this article explores how to efficiently maintain enum values in cross-service calls and front-end and back-end collaboration, providing methods using OpenAPI standard protocols and related tools.

📄️ Context Shared VariablesTransmitting and managing shared variables in context flow using Context from the GoFrame framework. In Go network applications, especially in HTTP/RPC services, Context is a key tool for transmitting asynchronous IO control and context variables. Through the sharing of structured objects, this article demonstrates how to achieve variable transmission during the request process, ensuring consistency and flexibility of variables in the request chain.
