Walkthrough

This PR introduces a complete Gin-based HTTP API for in-memory user management with CRUD operations and search functionality. Defines User and Response types, initializes storage with seed data, and implements six endpoint handlers plus helper functions for validation and lookup.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Gin User API Implementation
packages/gin/challenge-1-basic-routing/submissions/yllmis/solution.go
Adds complete HTTP API with User and Response struct types, in-memory user storage, and handlers for GET /users, GET /users/:id, POST /users, PUT /users/:id, DELETE /users/:id, and GET /users/search endpoints; includes helper functions for user lookup and validation.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~15 minutes

  • Review handler logic for consistent error handling and HTTP status codes
  • Verify validation logic in validateUser and ID parsing across all endpoints
  • Check in-memory storage mutation safety across concurrent requests

The message should be "Successfully deleted" or "Deleted successfully" (not "Successfully delete").

281-290: Email format validation not implemented.

The TODO comment mentions validating email format, but only presence is checked. While basic validation may suffice for this challenge, consider adding email format validation using a regex or the net/mail package if stricter validation is required.

🔎 Example using net/mail for email validation
+import (
+	"net/mail"
+)
+
 func validateUser(user User) error {
 	if user.Name == "" || user.Email == "" {
 		return errors.New("name and email are required")
 	}
+	if _, err := mail.ParseAddress(user.Email); err != nil {
+		return errors.New("invalid email format")
+	}
 	return nil
 }

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: Data race on shared mutable state.

The users slice and nextID variable are accessed and modified concurrently by multiple HTTP handlers without any synchronization (mutex, channels, etc.). This creates data races that can lead to lost updates, corrupted data, or panics.

🔎 Recommended fix using sync.Mutex
+import (
+	"sync"
+)
+
 // In-memory storage
+var mu sync.Mutex
 var users = []User{
 	{ID: 1, Name: "John Doe", Email: "[email protected]", Age: 30},
 	{ID: 2, Name: "Jane Smith", Email: "[email protected]", Age: 25},
 	{ID: 3, Name: "Bob Wilson", Email: "[email protected]", Age: 35},
 }
 var nextID = 4

Then wrap all reads/writes to users and nextID with mu.Lock() and mu.Unlock() in each handler.

lines 31 to 36 the global users slice and nextID variable are shared mutable
state accessed by HTTP handlers and cause data races; add a package-level mutex
(preferably sync.RWMutex) and wrap all accesses: use mu.Lock()/mu.Unlock() for
any writes (adding, updating, deleting users or incrementing nextID) and
mu.RLock()/mu.RUnlock() for read-only handlers to protect the slice and nextID,
ensuring every handler acquires the appropriate lock before accessing or
mutating those globals.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: Route ordering prevents search endpoint from being reachable.

The route /users/search (line 54) is registered after /users/:id (line 46). In Gin, routes are matched in registration order, so a request to /users/search will match the :id parameter route first, treating "search" as an ID. The searchUsers handler will never execute.

🔎 Fix: Register specific routes before parameterized routes
 	// TODO: Setup routes
 	// GET /users - Get all users
 	r.GET("/users", getAllUsers)
+	// GET /users/search - Search users by name (must be before :id route)
+	r.GET("/users/search", searchUsers)
 	// GET /users/:id - Get user by ID
 	r.GET("/users/:id", getUserByID)
 	// POST /users - Create new user
 	r.POST("/users", createUser)
 	// PUT /users/:id - Update user
 	r.PUT("/users/:id", updateUser)
 	// DELETE /users/:id - Delete user
 	r.DELETE("/users/:id", deleteUser)
-	// GET /users/search - Search users by name
-	r.GET("/users/search", searchUsers)

lines 38 to 58, the specific route GET /users/search is registered after the
parameterized route GET /users/:id so requests to /users/search will be captured
as an id; fix it by registering the more specific route(s) (e.g.,
r.GET("/users/search", searchUsers)) before any parameterized route(s) like
r.GET("/users/:id", getUserByID) so the search handler is reachable.
