Gabriel Radureau f986711974 Add readiness endpoint for graceful shutdown coordination
Implement readiness endpoint (/api/ready) that returns:
- {"ready":true} (HTTP 200) during normal operation
- {"ready":false} (HTTP 503) during graceful shutdown

Key changes:
- Added readiness context to control readiness state
- Modified server.NewServer() to accept readiness context
- Implemented handleReadiness() with context-aware logic
- Updated cmd/server/main.go to manage readiness state
- Readiness set to false when shutdown signal received
- Updated test script to validate readiness behavior
- Added comprehensive documentation for readiness endpoint

This allows Kubernetes/service meshes to stop routing traffic
to the pod during graceful shutdown while allowing existing
requests to complete. Health endpoint continues to return
happy status during shutdown for proper orchestration.

# DanceLessonsCoach
A Go project demonstrating idiomatic package structure, CLI implementation, and JSON API with Chi router.
## Features
- Greet function with default behavior
- Command-line interface
- JSON API with versioned endpoints
- Chi router integration
- Zerolog for high-performance logging
- Viper for configuration management
- Graceful shutdown with context
- Unit tests
- Go 1.26.1 compatible
## Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/DanceLessonsCoach.git
cd DanceLessonsCoach
# Build and run
go run ./cmd/greet
```
## Optional Configuration
The project supports configuration via YAML file, environment variables, or defaults.
Configuration priority: file > environment variables > defaults
### Configuration File
By default, the application looks for `config.yaml` in the current working directory.
Create a `config.yaml` file:
```yaml
server:
host: "0.0.0.0"
port: 8080
shutdown:
timeout: 30s
logging:
json: false # Set to true for JSON format logging
```
Then start the server:
```bash
go run ./cmd/server
```
### Custom Config File Path
To specify a custom config file path, use the `DLC_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable:
```bash
# Use a specific config file
export DLC_CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/your/config.yaml"
go run ./cmd/server
# Or in one command
DLC_CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/your/config.yaml" go run ./cmd/server
```
### Environment Variables
You can also configure via environment variables with `DLC_` prefix:
```bash
# Set configuration via environment variables
export DLC_SERVER_HOST="0.0.0.0"
export DLC_SERVER_PORT=8080
export DLC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=30s
export DLC_LOGGING_JSON=false # Set to true for JSON format logging
# Start the server
go run ./cmd/server
```
### Configuration Priority
1. **File-based configuration** (highest priority)
2. **Environment variables** (override defaults)
3. **Default values** (lowest priority)
This means if you have both a config file and environment variables, the file takes precedence.
## Usage
### CLI
```bash
# Default greeting
go run ./cmd/greet
# Output: Hello world!
# Custom greeting
go run ./cmd/greet John
# Output: Hello John!
```
### Web Server
**Using the server control script (recommended):**
```bash
# Start the server
./scripts/start-server.sh start
# Test API endpoints
./scripts/start-server.sh test
# Stop the server
./scripts/start-server.sh stop
```
**Manual server management:**
```bash
# Start the server
go run ./cmd/server
# Test API endpoints
curl http://localhost:8080/api/health
# Output: {"status":"healthy"}
curl http://localhost:8080/api/ready
# Output: {"ready":true}
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet
# Output: {"message":"Hello world!"}
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/John
# Output: {"message":"Hello John!"}
```
## Testing
```bash
# Run all tests
go test ./...
# Run specific package tests
go test ./pkg/greet/
```
