# Achitectural concepts
# Architectural concepts
Vikunja was built with a maximum flexibility in mind while developing. To achive this, I built a set of easy-to-use
functions and respective web handlers, all represented through interfaces.

handler, the struct must implement this and the `rights` interface.
The interface is defined as followed:
```go
type CRUDable interface {
Create(*User) error
ReadOne() error
ReadAll(*User) (interface{}, error)
Update() error
Delete() error
}
```
Each of these methods is called on an instance of a struct like so:

All functions should behave like this, if they create or update something, they should return the created/updated struct
instance. The only exception is `ReadAll()` which returns an interface. Usually this is an array, because, well you cannot
make an array of a set type (If you know a way to do this, don't hesitate to drop me a message).
## Rights
This interface defines methods to check for rights on structs. They accept a `User` as parameter and usually return a `bool`.
The interface is defined as followed:
```go
type Rights interface {
IsAdmin(*User) bool
CanWrite(*User) bool
CanRead(*User) bool
CanDelete(*User) bool
CanUpdate(*User) bool
CanCreate(*User) bool
}
```
When using the standard web handler, all methods except `CanRead()` are called before their `CRUD` counterparts. `CanRead()`
is called after `Read()` was invoked as this would otherwise mean getting an object from the db to check if the user has the
right to see it and then getting it again if thats the case. Calling the function afterwards means we only have to get the
object once.
