When code is spread across repositories, like when developing microservices, it can be
hard for coding assistants to know what APIs to call or what data structures to use.

This example demonstrates using Kodit to index and expose critical microservice
information to quickly develop new services in a microservice environment.

## The Task

Here is the prompt I used to build my new microservice:

> Develop a new Go microservice that exposes functionality for a notional "shipping"
> department. They need to list current orders from the orders
> microservice and get the user's information for each order. This should then expose a rest API to list out today's orders and where they need > to be shipped. It should also have an API to update an order status to say it has been shipped.
>
> Use internal Go libraries only for this.

## With Cline

Without Kodit, the AI assistant attempted to rebuild a new mock microservice to test
against, despite not asking for it. Here is a short extract from the [full transcript](#full-transcript---unaided):

> The Go microservice for the shipping department has been developed and is running on port 8082. It exposes two REST API endpoints:
>
> - GET /orders/today: Lists today's orders with user information and shipping addresses by fetching data from the orders microservice.
> - POST /orders/{id}/ship: Updates the status of an order to "shipped" by sending a request to the orders microservice.
>
> A mock orders microservice has also been created and is running on port 8081 to
> support testing. It provides endpoints to list orders, get user
> information, and update order status.
>
> Both services are running concurrently and ready for integration testing.

Without the knowledge of the other pre-existing microservices the AI
assistant has incorrectly built new mock microservices to fulfil the original request.
It has also used incorrect APIs.

## With Kodit

Now let's index the microservices and try again:

1. Start afresh. Delete your data directory or your database.
2. Index the [users
   microservice](https://gist.github.com/philwinder/db2e17413332844fa4b14971ae5adb34):

   ```sh
   kodit index https://gist.github.com/philwinder/db2e17413332844fa4b14971ae5adb34.git
   ```

3. Index the [orders
   microservice](https://gist.github.com/philwinder/7aa38185e20433c04c533f2b28f4e217):

   ```sh
   kodit index https://gist.github.com/philwinder/7aa38185e20433c04c533f2b28f4e217.git
   ```

4. Launch the MCP server:

   ```sh
   kodit serve
   ```

5. [Connect Cline](/kodit/getting-started/integration/index.md).

With Kodit, cline is able to query for relevant microservices. The net result (with a
few iterations of fixing the code!) is a new microservice that correctly calls the other
microservices to obtain information. ([Full transcript](#full-transcript---with-kodit))

For example, here's the code generated to get users:

```go
// getUsers calls the user microservice to get the list of users.
// It assumes the user service is running on localhost:8080 and provides a JSON array of users.
func getUsers() ([]User, error) {
    resp, err := http.Get("<http://localhost:8080/users>")
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    var users []User
    err = json.Unmarshal(body, &users)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    return users, nil
}
```

Note how it knows that users are coming from a separate microservice and has even
generated compliant structs to parse the response.

<task>
Develop a new Go microservice that exposes functionality for a notional "shipping" department. They need to list current orders from the orders microservice and get the user's information for each order. This should then expose a rest API to list out today's orders and where they need to be shipped. It should also have an API to update an order status to say it has been shipped.

Use internal Go libraries only for this.

**Assistant:**

<thinking>
The task is to develop a new Go microservice for a "shipping" department. The microservice should:
- List current orders from an "orders" microservice.
- Get user information for each order.
- Expose a REST API to:
  1. List today's orders and their shipping destinations.
  2. Update an order status to "shipped".

Constraints:
- Use only internal Go libraries (no external dependencies).
- The microservice will communicate with the orders microservice to get orders and user info.

Steps to accomplish:
1. Create a new Go module and main.go file for the shipping microservice.
2. Define data structures for orders and users.
3. Implement HTTP client calls to the orders microservice to fetch orders and user info.
4. Implement REST API endpoints:
   - GET /orders/today - list today's orders with shipping info.
   - POST /orders/{id}/ship - update order status to shipped.
5. Use only Go standard library packages (net/http, encoding/json, time, etc.).
6. Implement basic error handling and JSON responses.

Since there are no existing files, I will create the entire microservice from scratch in a new directory "shipping-service" under /Users/phil/tmp.

I will start by creating the main.go file with the basic structure and HTTP server setup.

**Assistant:**

<thinking>
The shipping microservice code is created with two main endpoints:
- GET /orders/today to list today's orders with user info and shipping address.
- POST /orders/{id}/ship to update the order status to "shipped".

The service assumes the orders microservice is running at http://localhost:8081 with endpoints:
- GET /orders to get all orders.
- GET /users/{id} to get user info.
- POST /orders/{id}/status to update order status.

Next steps:
- Verify the service runs correctly.
- Since there is no orders microservice here, I can create a simple mock orders microservice to test the shipping service functionality.
- The mock orders microservice will expose the required endpoints with some sample data.
- Then I will run both services and test the shipping service endpoints.

I will create a simple mock orders microservice in Go with the required endpoints and sample data in a new directory "orders-service".

<attempt_completion>
<result>
The Go microservice for the shipping department has been developed and is running on port 8082. It exposes two REST API endpoints:
- GET /orders/today: Lists today's orders with user information and shipping addresses by fetching data from the orders microservice.
- POST /orders/{id}/ship: Updates the status of an order to "shipped" by sending a request to the orders microservice.

A mock orders microservice has also been created and is running on port 8081 to support testing. It provides endpoints to list orders, get user information, and update order status.

Both services are running concurrently and ready for integration testing.

**User:**

<task>
Develop a new Go microservice that exposes functionality for a notional "shipping" department. They need to list current orders from the orders microservice and get the user's information for each order. This should then expose a rest API to list out today's orders and where they need to be shipped. It should also have an API to update an order status to say it has been shipped.

Use internal Go libraries only for this.

The provided code snippet defines a function `NewOrderService` that constructs and returns a pointer to a new instance of `OrderService`. Within this function, an `OrderService` instance is initialized with a slice of `Order` objects. Each `Order` is populated with fields including `ID`, `UserID`, `Amount`, and `Status`. The function initializes the `orders` slice with three predefined orders, representing different states (pending, shipped, and delivered). This setup is likely used to manage orders in an e-commerce or similar application.

func NewOrderService() *OrderService {
 return &OrderService{
  orders: []Order{
   {ID: 1, UserID: 1, Amount: 99.99, Status: "pending"},
   {ID: 2, UserID: 2, Amount: 49.50, Status: "shipped"},
   {ID: 3, UserID: 1, Amount: 15.00, Status: "delivered"},
  },
 }
}

file:///Users/phil/.kodit/clones/https___gist.github.com_philwinder_7aa38185e20433c04c533f2b28f4e217.git/main.go
This Go code snippet sets up a simple web server to handle HTTP requests for an "orders" service. 

1. `NewOrderService()` initializes a new instance of the order service, which presumably contains business logic related to orders.
2. `NewOrderHandler(orderService)` creates an HTTP handler for processing order-related requests, using the order service instance.
3. `http.Handle("/orders", orderHandler)` registers the order handler to respond to requests made to the `/orders` endpoint.
4. `log.Println("Orders service running on :8081...")` logs a message indicating that the server is starting.
5. `log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8081", nil))` begins listening for incoming HTTP requests on port 8081, and logs any fatal errors that might occur during the server operation.

Overall, this code sets up a basic HTTP server for managing orders with a custom handler.

func main() {
 orderService := NewOrderService()
 orderHandler := NewOrderHandler(orderService)

 http.Handle("/orders", orderHandler)
 log.Println("Orders service running on :8081...")
 log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8081", nil))
}

The provided code snippet defines a function named `NewOrderHandler` that takes a pointer to an `OrderService` as its parameter. It returns a pointer to a new instance of `OrderHandler`, initializing it with the provided `OrderService`. This function is typically used to create and set up a new handler for order-related operations, enabling dependency injection for better testing and separation of concerns.


func NewOrderHandler(service *OrderService)*OrderHandler {
 return &OrderHandler{service: service}
}


file:///Users/phil/.kodit/clones/https___gist.github.com_philwinder_db2e17413332844fa4b14971ae5adb34.git/main.go
This Go code snippet defines the `main` function, which is the entry point of the application. 

1. It initializes a new user service by calling `NewUserService()`, which presumably creates and returns a service for managing user-related operations.
2. It then creates a user handler with `NewUserHandler(userService)`, which likely sets up the HTTP handler for processing user-related HTTP requests, utilizing the user service.
3. The `http.Handle("/users", userHandler)` line registers the user handler to handle requests made to the `/users` endpoint.
4. The server is started on port 8080 with `http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)`, which listens for incoming HTTP connections and serves requests using the previously defined router. Any errors while starting the server are logged using `log.Fatal()`, which will terminate the program if such an error occurs.
5. A log message is printed to indicate that the server has started.

Overall, this code sets up a simple web server that serves user-related requests at the `/users` endpoint.


func main() {
 userService := NewUserService()
 userHandler := NewUserHandler(userService)

 http.Handle("/users", userHandler)
 log.Println("Starting server on :8080...")
 log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}


file:///Users/phil/.kodit/clones/https___gist.github.com_philwinder_db2e17413332844fa4b14971ae5adb34.git/main.go
The `NewUserService` function is a constructor in Go that creates and returns a pointer to a new instance of `UserService`. This instance is initialized with a predefined slice of `User` structs, each representing a user with an ID, name, and email address. The function essentially sets up the `UserService` with some initial user data right at the time of its creation.


func NewUserService() *UserService {
 return &UserService{
  users: []User{
   {ID: 1, Name: "alice", Email: "<alice@example.com>"},
   {ID: 2, Name: "bob", Email: "<bob@example.com>"},
   {ID: 3, Name: "carol", Email: "<carol@example.com>"},
  },
 }
}


file:///Users/phil/.kodit/clones/https___gist.github.com_philwinder_db2e17413332844fa4b14971ae5adb34.git/main.go
The given code defines a function named `NewUserHandler` that creates a new instance of `UserHandler`. It takes a parameter `service`, which is a pointer to an instance of `UserService`. The function initializes a `UserHandler` struct with the provided `UserService` and returns a pointer to this new `UserHandler` instance. This is commonly used in Go (Golang) for dependency injection, allowing the `UserHandler` to use the `UserService` for its operations.


func NewUserHandler(service *UserService)*UserHandler {
 return &UserHandler{service: service}
}

**Assistant:**

<attempt_completion>
<result>
A new Go microservice for the shipping department has been created successfully. The service fetches orders from the orders microservice (assumed to be running on port 8081) and user information from the user microservice (assumed to be running on port 8080). It exposes REST endpoints on port 8082: 
• GET /shipping/orders – returns today's shipping orders with a sample shipping address. 
• POST /shipping/orders/{id}/ship – marks a specified order as shipped by forwarding a request to the orders service.
The final code in shipping/main.go has been updated and auto-formatted successfully.
