Architecture

ScriptureBot is built as a 5 layer service:

1. Web App (GET)
2. Incoming Translation Layer from Platform specific properties
3. Logic Layer
4. Outgoing Translation Layer to Platform specific properties
5. Web App (POST)

The Translation Layer is implemented in BotPlatform, which abstracts all the translation tasks from the Logic layer.

Additionally there is a BotSecrets integration with the WebApp layer which provides all sensitive data to the bot on a as-needed basis.

Code Guidelines

Code

We are using Go 1.12 for this version of the framework.

Naming Convention:

• Variables should be named using camelCase.
• Methods should be named using underscore_case.
• Classes should be named using PascalCase.
• Packages should be named using underscore_case, in keeping with Python STL.
• Constants should be named using CAPITALCASE

This keeps the entities visually separate, and syntax clean.

As much as possible, each file should contain one of 3 things:

• A class and related methods
• A set of utility methods
• Business logic/End point logic

This is intended to facilitate separation of responsibility for loose coupling.
