# app
app orchestrates modular application setup and teardown for Go services.
## Install
```bash
go get gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/app
```
## Quick start
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log/slog"
"gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/applog"
"gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/app"
)
func main() {
lifecycle := app.NewLifecycle(
applog.AppLogOpts{ConsoleOutput: os.Stderr}.Module(),
)
defer func() {
if err := lifecycle.Teardown(); err != nil {
fmt.Println("shutdown error:", err)
}
}()
if err := lifecycle.Setup(); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
ctx := lifecycle.Context(context.Background())
_ = ctx
lifecycle.Logger().Info("ready")
}
```
## Concepts
- **Module** — a named subsystem with optional `Setup`, `Teardown`, and `Depends`
- **Lifecycle** — holds modules and runs setup/teardown in dependency order
- **Setup** — initializes all modules registered via `NewLifecycle`
- **Require** — adds and initializes modules on demand (typical for CLI subcommands via [appcli](https://gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/appcli))
- **Autoload** — when enabled (default), `Depends` names are set up automatically before the dependent module
## Dependencies
List dependency module **names** in `ModuleOpts.Depends`. Dependent modules must be registered in the same lifecycle (via `NewLifecycle` or an earlier `Require`). Circular dependencies return an error.
## Teardown
Always defer `lifecycle.Teardown()`. Teardown runs in **reverse setup order** so dependents shut down before their dependencies.
## Context
Use `lifecycle.Context(ctx)` so downstream code and `appcli` commands can call `app.LifecycleFromContext(ctx)`.
## Companion packages
| Package | Role |
|---------|------|
| [applog](https://gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/applog) | slog + tint logging module |
| [appcli](https://gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/appcli) | urfave/cli v3 integration |
| [dbx](https://gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/dbx) | database module |
| [migrate](https://gitea.auvem.com/go-toolkit/migrate) | goose migrations module |
## API reference
| Symbol | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `NewLifecycle(modules...)` | Create lifecycle with optional initial modules |
| `Lifecycle.Setup()` | Set up all registered modules |
| `Lifecycle.Teardown()` | Tear down in reverse setup order |
| `Lifecycle.Require(modules...)` | Set up modules on demand |
| `Lifecycle.RequireWithOpts(opts, modules...)` | Require with custom logger or unique-name enforcement |
| `Lifecycle.GetModule(name)` | Look up a registered module |
| `NewModule(name, opts)` | Define a module |
| `LifecycleFromContext(ctx)` | Retrieve lifecycle from context |
## Error handling
- Partial setup failure rolls back already-initialized modules
- `Teardown` joins errors from all modules but attempts every teardown
- A second `Setup` or `Teardown` on the same lifecycle returns an error
