Infrastructure

The shared Hummingbird toolkit the Loud services build on: declarative routing, hardened HTTP middlewares, pre-rendered localized HTML responses, and the page and asset scaffolding.

Overview

The package provides, grouped by role:

Role Types
Routing RouterController, RouteCollectionBuilder, the addController extension on RouterMethods
Middlewares SecurityHeadersMiddleware, VaryMiddleware, RateLimitMiddleware, LocalizationMiddleware, NotFoundMiddleware
Pages and assets Page, Asset, AssetExtension, FingerprintAssets
Link previews SocialCard, its Image, and the Tag meta tags it derives
Structured data StructuredData, the Node, Property, and Value types of its schema.org graph, and the open Name and Kind vocabularies
Analytics Analytics, the tracker script Attributes it derives, and the origin its preconnect hint targets
Responses CachedHTMLResponse, LocalizedHTMLCollectionResponse
Contexts LocalizedRequestContext
Constants The HTTPField.Name header names, Int.RateLimit limits, and String.Security header values the middlewares default to

Design rules

The package holds only what every service can reuse; anything a service owns is injected, never referenced:

  • No site-specific content. No page markup, no asset catalog, no Bundle.module lookups. A type that needs a service's content takes it as a parameter: the bundle: whose String Catalog names the supported languages (LocalizationMiddleware, LocalizedHTMLCollectionResponse, NotFoundMiddleware), the document: closure that builds a page for a locale, and the metadata requirement through which a Page conformer supplies its icon links and theme colors — as are the summary, canonicalURL, socialCard, structuredData, and analytics values its other head tags render, each omitted unless the page provides it. A SocialCard and a StructuredData node take their URLs fully formed and absolute, as does an Analytics its script URL; composing them from an origin and a versioned asset path stays with the page providing them.
  • Types own their format; Page renders generically. Each optional head concern derives its own render-ready representation — the SocialCard.tags meta tags, the StructuredData.payload JSON-LD, the Analytics.attributes script attributes — and the Page scaffolding applies it without knowing the vocabulary (Open Graph, schema.org, or the Umami tracker convention). The page scripts and the analytics tracker render as deferred head tags, with a preconnect hint for the tracker's cross-origin host.
  • Services fill the gaps once, via extensions. A service restores its convenient call sites with retroactive extensions — the Website's Page+Defaults, LocalizationMiddleware+Defaults, and NotFoundMiddleware+Defaults are the pattern to follow. The open schema.org vocabularies extend the same way: the package declares only the Property.Name and Node.Kind constants every service shares, and a service adds the ones its own node shapes need.
  • Method structs. Single-operation types such as FingerprintAssets hold their lifetime-fixed configuration in init and take only per-call inputs in callAsFunction.

Layout

Sources are split by visibility, then by kind, one type per file:

Sources/
├── Public/                public API
│   ├── Builders/          RouteCollectionBuilder
│   ├── Enumerations/      AssetExtension
│   ├── Extensions/        addController, plus the default header names and values
│   ├── Methods/           FingerprintAssets
│   ├── Middlewares/       the five HTTP middlewares
│   ├── Protocols/         Asset, LocalizedRequestContext, Page, RouterController
│   ├── Responses/         CachedHTMLResponse, LocalizedHTMLCollectionResponse
│   └── Types/             Analytics, SocialCard, and StructuredData, the latter two with their nested types in SocialCard/ and StructuredData/
└── Internal/
    ├── Extensions/        implementation details (the String separators)
    └── Types/             implementation details (FNV1aHash)
Tests/
├── Cases/                 the test suites, mirroring the Sources/ layout
├── Catalogs/              the String Catalog fixture, copied verbatim so it loads on Linux
└── Utils/                 stubs (StubAsset, StubPage, …) and the suite Tag constants

Testing

Every suite carries a tag naming the kind of API it exercises — .asset, .extension, .middleware, .protocol, or .type, declared in Tests/Utils/Extensions/Tag+Constants.swift — so test plans and result summaries can slice the run by kind. A new suite must adopt the tag matching its subject (or add a tag there if none fits).

Requirements

  • Swift 6.3 toolchain (swift-tools-version:6.3).
  • macOS 15, matching the sibling Localization, Persistence, and Utility packages (the services deploy to Linux containers; the packages carry no UI platforms).
