Agent "Explore purl/vers module conventions" completed
Perfect! Now I have comprehensive information. Let me create a detailed summary of the conventions used in these Go modules.
Convention Summary for purl and vers Go Modules
Based on my review of the purl and vers modules in /Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/, here are the key conventions:
1. go.mod Structure
purl (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/go.mod):
- Module path:
github.com/git-pkgs/purl
- Go version:
1.25.6
- Dependencies on external modules:
github.com/git-pkgs/packageurl-go v0.2.1 and github.com/git-pkgs/vers v0.2.2
vers (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vers/go.mod):
- Module path:
github.com/git-pkgs/vers
- Go version:
1.25.6
- No external dependencies (clean and minimal)
Both use matching, recent Go versions without version constraints beyond the base requirement.
2. go:embed for Data Files
Location: /Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/types.go (lines 4-11)
Pattern used:
- Blank import of
embed package
- Comment directive
//go:embed types.json immediately preceding a package-level variable
- Variable is
var typesJSON []byte to store the embedded file
- The JSON data file
/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/types.json is 22K in size
- Lazy loaded and parsed once using sync.Once (see next section)
3. sync.Once for Loading
Location: /Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/types.go (lines 65-77)
Pattern:
- Three package-level variables:
loadOnce, loadedData, loadErr
sync.Once ensures parse happens exactly once
- Error is captured and returned with data
- All public functions that need the data call
loadTypes() which is safe to call multiple times
- Used in:
TypeInfo(), KnownTypes(), IsKnownType(), DefaultRegistry(), TypesVersion()
Also in vers (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vers/version.go): Uses a custom bounded cache with sync.RWMutex:
4. Error Type Patterns
Typed Error Variables (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/registry.go lines 10-14):
Simple fmt.Errorf (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vers/constraint.go lines 30-41):
In vers/parser.go (lines 23-24):
Pattern:
- Package-level error variables for sentinel/reusable errors
fmt.Errorf() for contextual errors with format strings
- Simple, direct error messages without fancy wrapping
- Error returned as second return value in tuple returns
5. Table-Driven Tests
All test files use table-driven test pattern consistently.
Example from purl/types_test.go (lines 7-43):
Example from vers/version_test.go (lines 5-48):
Pattern:
- Anonymous structs with
want-prefixed fields
- Sub-tests using
t.Run(name, func(t *testing.T) {...})
- Early return on error checks with
if err != nil { return }
- Consistent error message format:
t.Errorf("Function(%q) got %v, want %v", input, got, want)
6. Overall File Organization
purl module structure (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/):
doc.go - Package documentation with usage examples
purl.go - Core PURL struct and basic operations (Parse, New, String, etc.)
types.go - TypeConfig structs and sync.Once loading of embedded types.json
registry.go - Registry URL handling and reverse regex parsing (includes error variables)
fullname.go - Single function FullName() for namespace/name combining
ecosystem.go - Ecosystem name mappings and conversions
makepurl.go - Constructor from ecosystem identifiers
defaults.go - Default registry and version cleaning
*_test.go - Corresponding test files for each module
vers module structure (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vers/):
vers.go - Package documentation and public API functions
parser.go - Parser struct and parsing logic for different schemes (npm, maven, etc.)
version.go - Version parsing, comparison, caching with sync.RWMutex
constraint.go - Constraint parsing and interval conversion
range.go - Range struct with union/intersect operations
interval.go - Interval struct (mathematical interval representation)
*_test.go - Test files (constraint_test, interval_test, range_test, version_test, parser_test, conformance_test, bench_test)
Key organization principles:
- Each concept gets its own file (types, registry, full names, ecosystems)
- Test files mirror implementation files (purl.go + purl_test.go)
- Package documentation in doc.go or main module file (vers.go)
- No subdirectories - flat structure with clear file naming
7. Additional Patterns Observed
Immutability through copying: Methods like WithVersion() and WithQualifier() return new copies rather than modifying in place
Regex caching (/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/registry.go lines 16-17, 166-176):
Flat data structures: No nested packages or interfaces, just structs with methods
Public API through package functions: Functions like Parse(), New(), ParseConstraint() are the primary API rather than constructors
