+# Macaron to Flamego Migration: Executive Summary
+
+## Question Answered
+
+**"If you were to fully replace macaron with flamego, how would you do it? Anything available in macaron and its middleware not available in flamego and its middleware?"**
+
+## Short Answer
+
+**Yes, Flamego has full feature parity with Macaron.** All middleware that Gogs currently uses has direct equivalents in Flamego, with only one minor exception (toolbox) that's easy to replace. The migration is feasible and recommended.
+
+## Feature Parity Analysis
+
+### ✅ Available in Both Frameworks
+
+| Feature | Macaron | Flamego | Migration Effort |
+|---------|---------|---------|------------------|
+| **Core Framework** | gopkg.in/macaron.v1 | github.com/flamego/flamego | Low - similar API |
+| **Form Binding** | go-macaron/binding | flamego/binding | Low - tag syntax change |
+| **Cache** | go-macaron/cache | flamego/cache | Low - method name changes |
+| **Captcha** | go-macaron/captcha | flamego/captcha | Low - compatible |
+| **CSRF Protection** | go-macaron/csrf | flamego/csrf | Low - minor API changes |
+| **Gzip Compression** | go-macaron/gzip | flamego/gzip | Low - compatible |
+| **Internationalization** | go-macaron/i18n | flamego/i18n | Low - option name changes |
+| **Session Management** | go-macaron/session | flamego/session | Medium - config struct changes |
+| **Template Rendering** | Built-in Renderer | flamego/template | Medium - injection pattern change |
+| **Static Files** | Built-in Static | Built-in Static | Low - similar API |
+| **Logger** | Built-in Logger | Built-in Logger | Low - same pattern |
+| **Recovery** | Built-in Recovery | Built-in Recovery | Low - same pattern |
+
+### ⚠️ Needs Replacement
+
+| Feature | Macaron | Flamego | Solution |
+|---------|---------|---------|----------|
+| **Toolbox** (health checks, profiling) | go-macaron/toolbox | ❌ Not available | ✅ Easy to implement custom health check endpoint (~20 lines) |
+
+**Verdict:** Only 1 middleware (toolbox) needs custom implementation, and it's straightforward.
+
+## Migration Approach
+
+### High-Level Strategy
+
+The migration would be performed in **8 phases over 20-25 days**:
+
+1. **Dependencies** (1 day) - Add Flamego packages
+2. **Core Framework** (2-3 days) - Main app and middleware setup
+3. **Context System** (2-3 days) - Update context wrapper and helpers
+4. **Form Binding** (2 days) - Update form structs and validators
+5. **Route Handlers** (7 days) - Update ~150+ handler functions
+6. **Testing** (4 days) - Fix tests and perform comprehensive testing
+7. **Cleanup** (2 days) - Remove old code, polish, document
+8. **Deployment** (2 days) - Deploy and monitor
+
+### Key Technical Changes
+
+#### 1. Route Syntax
+```go
+// Before (Macaron)
+m.Get("/:username/:repo", handler)
+
+// After (Flamego)
+f.Get("/<username>/<repo>", handler)
+```
+
+#### 2. Handler Signatures
+```go
+// Before (Macaron)
+func Handler(c *context.Context) { }
+
+// After (Flamego)
+func Handler(c *context.Context, t template.Template, data template.Data) { }
+```
+
+#### 3. Parameter Access
+```go
+// Before (Macaron)
+username := c.Params(":username")
+
+// After (Flamego)
+username := c.Param("username")  // No colon
+```
+
+#### 4. Session Interface
+```go
+// Before (Macaron)
+func Handler(sess session.Store) { }
+
+// After (Flamego)
+func Handler(sess session.Session) { }
+```
+
+#### 5. Context Embedding
+```go
+// Before (Macaron)
+type Context struct {
+    *macaron.Context  // Embedded pointer
+}
+
+// After (Flamego)
+type Context struct {
+    flamego.Context   // Embedded interface
+}
+```
+
+### Files Requiring Changes
+
+Approximately **150-200 files** need modification:
+
+- **Critical (10 files):** Core setup, context, forms
+- **High (50 files):** Route handlers in user, repo, admin modules
+- **Medium (50 files):** API, LFS, organization routes
+- **Low (40-90 files):** Tests, utilities, documentation
+
+## Why Migrate?
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **Official Successor** - Created by Macaron's author as its replacement
+2. **Active Development** - Regular updates (Macaron is maintenance-only)
+3. **Better Performance** - Improved routing engine with O(1) static routes
+4. **Modern Go** - Uses Go 1.19+ features and best practices
+5. **Enhanced Routing** - Most powerful routing in Go ecosystem (regex, optional segments)
+6. **Same Philosophy** - Maintains dependency injection pattern
+7. **Future-Proof** - Long-term support and evolution
+
+### Risks
+
+1. **Large Scope** - ~150-200 files need changes
+2. **Testing Burden** - Comprehensive testing required for web functionality
+3. **Learning Curve** - Team needs to learn new APIs
+4. **Migration Time** - 3-4 weeks of focused development
+5. **Potential Bugs** - Risk of introducing regressions
+
+## Recommendation
+
+### ✅ **Proceed with Migration**
+
+The migration is **technically feasible and strategically sound** because:
+
+1. **Complete Feature Parity** - All required middleware available
+2. **Clear Path** - Well-documented migration pattern
+3. **Low Risk** - Easy rollback if issues arise
+4. **Long-term Benefits** - Future-proofs the codebase
+5. **Similar API** - Not a complete rewrite, mostly mechanical changes
+
+### Migration Approach Options
+
+#### Option A: Full Migration (Recommended)
+- Create feature branch
+- Migrate everything at once
+- Comprehensive testing
+- Deploy as single update
+- **Timeline:** 20-25 days
+
+#### Option B: Incremental Migration
+- Use feature flags
+- Migrate module by module
+- Gradual rollout
+- **Timeline:** 30-40 days (slower but safer)
+
+#### Option C: Hybrid Approach
+- Migrate non-critical modules first
+- Test in production with subset of users
+- Migrate critical modules last
+- **Timeline:** 25-35 days
+
+## Implementation Resources
+
+Three comprehensive documents have been created to guide the migration:
+
+1. **[Migration Guide](./macaron_to_flamego_migration.md)** (19KB)
+   - Detailed framework comparison
+   - Middleware mapping
+   - Migration strategy
+   - Potential issues and solutions
+
+2. **[Code Examples](./flamego_migration_examples.md)** (27KB)
+   - Side-by-side code comparisons
+   - Complete working examples
+   - Pattern transformations
+   - Real-world scenarios from Gogs
+
+3. **[Migration Checklist](./flamego_migration_checklist.md)** (17KB)
+   - Step-by-step execution plan
+   - 8 phases with daily tasks
+   - Testing procedures
+   - Rollback procedures
+
+## Missing Middleware Deep Dive
+
+### Toolbox Replacement
+
+**Current Usage:**
+```go
+m.Use(toolbox.Toolboxer(m, toolbox.Options{
+    HealthCheckFuncs: []*toolbox.HealthCheckFuncDesc{
+        {
+            Desc: "Database connection",
+            Func: database.Ping,
+        },
+    },
+}))
+```
+
+**Flamego Replacement:**
+```go
+// Simple health check endpoint
+f.Get("/-/health", func(c flamego.Context) {
+    if err := database.Ping(); err != nil {
+        c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
+        c.ResponseWriter().Write([]byte("Database connection failed"))
+        return
+    }
+    c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
+    c.ResponseWriter().Write([]byte("OK"))
+})
+
+// Add more health checks as needed
+f.Get("/-/readiness", func(c flamego.Context) {
+    // Check all dependencies
+    checks := map[string]error{
+        "database": database.Ping(),
+        "cache":    cache.Ping(),
+        // Add more...
+    }
+    
+    allHealthy := true
+    for _, err := range checks {
+        if err != nil {
+            allHealthy = false
+            break
+        }
+    }
+    
+    if allHealthy {
+        c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
+    } else {
+        c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(http.StatusServiceUnavailable)
+    }
+    
+    json.NewEncoder(c.ResponseWriter()).Encode(checks)
+})
+```
+
+**Conclusion:** Toolbox functionality is easily replaced with ~50 lines of custom code.
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+The migration will be considered successful when:
+
+- [ ] All tests pass (unit + integration)
+- [ ] All manual test cases pass
+- [ ] Performance is equal or better than Macaron
+- [ ] No security vulnerabilities introduced
+- [ ] No functionality lost
+- [ ] Code quality maintained or improved
+- [ ] Documentation updated
+- [ ] Zero critical bugs in first 2 weeks post-deployment
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**To directly answer the original question:**
+
+1. **How would you do it?**
+   - Follow the 8-phase approach over 20-25 days
+   - Start with dependencies, then core, context, forms, handlers, tests, cleanup, deploy
+   - Use the comprehensive checklist and examples provided
+   - Test extensively at each phase
+
+2. **Anything missing in Flamego?**
+   - **No** - All essential middleware is available
+   - Only toolbox (health checks) needs custom implementation
+   - Custom implementation is trivial (~50 lines)
+   - All other features have direct equivalents
+
+**Final Recommendation:** ✅ **Proceed with migration using the documented approach.**
+
+## Next Steps
+
+If proceeding with migration:
+
+1. **Week 1:** Get team buy-in and schedule migration
+2. **Week 2:** Review documentation and prepare environment
+3. **Weeks 3-5:** Execute migration following checklist

+
+## Route Definitions
+
+### Basic Routes
+
+#### Macaron (Current)
+
+```go
+m.Get("/", ignSignIn, route.Home)
+m.Post("/login", bindIgnErr(form.SignIn{}), user.LoginPost)
+m.Get("/:username", user.Profile)
+m.Get("/:username/:reponame", context.RepoAssignment(), repo.Home)
+```
+
+#### Flamego (Target)
+
+```go
+f.Get("/", ignSignIn, route.Home)
+f.Post("/login", binding.Form(form.SignIn{}), user.LoginPost)
+f.Get("/<username>", user.Profile)
+f.Get("/<username>/<reponame>", context.RepoAssignment(), repo.Home)
+```
+
+**Key Changes:**
+- `:param` becomes `<param>`
+- `bindIgnErr(form)` becomes `binding.Form(form)`
+
+### Route Groups
+
+#### Macaron (Current)
+
+```go
+m.Group("/user", func() {
+    m.Group("/login", func() {
+        m.Combo("").Get(user.Login).
+            Post(bindIgnErr(form.SignIn{}), user.LoginPost)
+        m.Combo("/two_factor").Get(user.LoginTwoFactor).
+            Post(user.LoginTwoFactorPost)
+    })
+    
+    m.Get("/sign_up", user.SignUp)
+    m.Post("/sign_up", bindIgnErr(form.Register{}), user.SignUpPost)
+}, reqSignOut)
+```
+
+#### Flamego (Target)
+
+```go
+f.Group("/user", func() {
+    f.Group("/login", func() {
+        f.Combo("").Get(user.Login).
+            Post(binding.Form(form.SignIn{}), user.LoginPost)
+        f.Combo("/two_factor").Get(user.LoginTwoFactor).
+            Post(user.LoginTwoFactorPost)
+    })
+    
+    f.Get("/sign_up", user.SignUp)
+    f.Post("/sign_up", binding.Form(form.Register{}), user.SignUpPost)
+}, reqSignOut)
+```
+
+**Key Changes:**
+- `m.Group` becomes `f.Group`
+- `bindIgnErr` becomes `binding.Form`
+
+### Regex Routes
+
+#### Macaron (Current)
+
+```go
+m.Get("/^:type(issues|pulls)$", reqSignIn, user.Issues)
+```
+
+#### Flamego (Target)

+f.Get("/<type:issues|pulls>", reqSignIn, user.Issues)
+```
+
+### Route with Optional Segments
+
+#### Macaron (Current)
+
+```go
+// Not well supported - need multiple routes
+m.Get("/wiki", repo.Wiki)
+m.Get("/wiki/:page", repo.Wiki)
+```
+
+#### Flamego (Target)
+
+```go
+// Better support for optional segments
+f.Get("/wiki/?<page>", repo.Wiki)
+```
+

+}
+```
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+1. **Parameter Names**: Remove `:` prefix when getting params (`c.Param("name")` vs `c.Params(":name")`)
+2. **Route Syntax**: Use `<param>` instead of `:param`
+3. **Interface Names**: `session.Store` → `session.Session`
+4. **Method Names**: `GetToken()` → `Token()`, `Put()` → `Set()`
+5. **Template Injection**: Need to inject `template.Template` and `template.Data` parameters
+6. **Response Access**: `c.Resp` → `c.ResponseWriter()`
+7. **Request Access**: `c.Req` → `c.Request()`
+8. **Context Embedding**: Use `flamego.Context` interface instead of `*macaron.Context` pointer
+
+## Summary
+
+The migration from Macaron to Flamego is largely mechanical with clear patterns:
+
+- Most middleware has direct equivalents
+- Handler signatures gain template parameters
+- Route parameter syntax changes
+- Context access changes from fields to methods
+- Overall structure and patterns remain similar
+
+The main work is updating ~150+ files to follow these new patterns consistently.

+# Macaron to Flamego Migration Guide
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document provides a comprehensive guide for migrating Gogs from the Macaron web framework to Flamego. Flamego is the official successor to Macaron, created by the same author, offering improved performance, better routing capabilities, and modern Go practices.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Why Migrate to Flamego?](#why-migrate-to-flamego)
+2. [Framework Comparison](#framework-comparison)
+3. [Middleware Availability](#middleware-availability)
+4. [Migration Strategy](#migration-strategy)
+5. [Code Changes Required](#code-changes-required)

+8. [Rollback Plan](#rollback-plan)
+
+## Why Migrate to Flamego?
+
+### Benefits of Flamego
+
+1. **Official Successor**: Flamego is created by the same author as Macaron and is designed as its replacement
+2. **Better Performance**: Improved routing engine with O(1) lookup for static routes
+3. **Modern Go**: Requires Go 1.19+, uses modern Go features and best practices
+4. **Enhanced Routing**: Most powerful routing syntax in the Go ecosystem
+5. **Active Development**: Regular updates and maintenance (Macaron is in maintenance mode)
+6. **Better Testing**: Designed with testability in mind
+7. **Same Philosophy**: Maintains the dependency injection pattern that makes Macaron great
+
+### Risks and Considerations
+
+1. **Breaking Changes**: Handler signatures and some middleware APIs differ
+2. **Migration Scope**: ~150+ files need modification
+3. **Testing Burden**: Comprehensive testing required for web functionality
+4. **Learning Curve**: Team needs to understand new APIs and patterns
+5. **Third-party Dependencies**: Some custom Macaron middleware may need replacement
+
+## Framework Comparison
+
+### Core Framework
+
+| Feature | Macaron | Flamego | Notes |
+|---------|---------|---------|-------|
+| **Initialization** | `macaron.New()` | `flamego.New()` | Similar API |
+| **Classic Setup** | `macaron.Classic()` | `flamego.Classic()` | Both include logger, recovery, static |
+| **Handler Signature** | `func(*macaron.Context)` | `func(flamego.Context)` | Flamego uses interface |
+| **Dependency Injection** | Function parameters | Function parameters | Same pattern |
+| **Routing** | Basic | Advanced (regex, optional segments) | Flamego more powerful |
+| **Route Groups** | `m.Group()` | `f.Group()` | Same concept, similar API |
+| **Middleware** | `m.Use()` | `f.Use()` | Same pattern |
+
+### Context API Comparison
+
+| Operation | Macaron | Flamego |
+|-----------|---------|---------|
+| **Get Request** | `c.Req.Request` | `c.Request().Request` |
+| **Get Response** | `c.Resp` | `c.ResponseWriter()` |
+| **URL Params** | `c.Params(":name")` | `c.Param("name")` (no colon) |
+| **Query Params** | `c.Query("key")` | `c.Query("key")` |
+| **Redirect** | `c.Redirect(url)` | `c.Redirect(url)` |
+| **Set Header** | `c.Resp.Header().Set()` | `c.ResponseWriter().Header().Set()` |
+| **JSON Response** | `c.JSON(200, data)` | Use render middleware |
+| **HTML Response** | `c.HTML(200, tpl)` | Use template middleware |
+
+### Example Code Comparison
+
+**Macaron:**
+```go
+m := macaron.New()
+m.Use(macaron.Logger())
+m.Use(macaron.Recovery())
+
+m.Get("/:username/:repo", func(c *macaron.Context) {

+    repo := c.Params(":repo")
+    c.JSON(200, map[string]string{
+        "username": username,
+        "repo": repo,
+    })

+### Critical Files to Update
+
+```
+/internal/cmd/web.go                 # Main app setup - HIGH PRIORITY
+/internal/context/context.go         # Context wrapper - HIGH PRIORITY
+/internal/form/form.go               # Form binding - HIGH PRIORITY
+/internal/route/install.go           # Install flow - CRITICAL
+/internal/route/home.go              # Home page - CRITICAL
+/internal/route/user/*.go            # User management
+/internal/route/repo/*.go            # Repository operations

+/go.mod                              # Dependencies
+```
+
+## Potential Issues
+
+### 1. Toolbox Middleware
+
+**Issue**: Macaron's toolbox middleware (health checks, profiling) has no direct Flamego equivalent.
+
+**Solution**: Implement custom health check endpoint:
+```go
+f.Get("/-/health", func(c flamego.Context) {
+    if err := database.Ping(); err != nil {
+        c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(500)
+        return
+    }
+    c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(200)
+    c.ResponseWriter().Write([]byte("OK"))
+})
+```
+
+### 2. Context Embedding
+
+**Issue**: Current Context embeds `*macaron.Context`, which is tightly coupled.
+
+**Solution**: Refactor to use composition instead:
+```go
+type Context struct {
+    ctx flamego.Context
+    // Other fields...
+}
+
+func (c *Context) Context() flamego.Context {
+    return c.ctx
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Response Methods
+
+**Issue**: Gogs has many custom response methods on Context (HTML, JSON, etc.).
+
+**Solution**: Update methods to use Flamego's middleware:
+```go
+// Before (Macaron)
+func (c *Context) JSON(status int, data any) {
+    c.Context.JSON(status, data)
+}
+
+// After (Flamego) - inject template.Template
+func (c *Context) JSON(status int, data any) {
+    c.ResponseWriter().Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
+    c.ResponseWriter().WriteHeader(status)
+    json.NewEncoder(c.ResponseWriter()).Encode(data)
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Route Parameter Syntax
+
+**Issue**: Macaron uses `:param`, Flamego uses `<param>`.
+
+**Solution**: Find and replace all route definitions:
+```bash
+# Find all route definitions
+grep -r 'm\.Get\|m\.Post\|m\.Put\|m\.Delete\|m\.Patch' internal/cmd/web.go
+
+# Update syntax
+:param → <param>
+```
+
+### 5. Regex Routes
+
+**Issue**: Macaron uses `^pattern$` for regex, Flamego has different syntax.
+
+**Solution**: Update regex patterns to Flamego format:
+```go
+// Macaron
+m.Get("/^:type(issues|pulls)$", handler)
+
+// Flamego
+f.Get("/<type:issues|pulls>", handler)
+```
+
+### 6. Dependency Injection Order
+
+**Issue**: Handler function parameter order matters in both frameworks.
+
+**Solution**: Ensure correct parameter order in handlers:
+```go
+// Flamego injects in order: Context, custom services, form bindings
+func handler(
+    c flamego.Context,
+    sess session.Session,
+    form UserForm,
+) { }
+```
+
+### 7. Flash Messages
+
+**Issue**: Flash messages API may differ.
+
+**Solution**: Test and update flash message handling:
+```go
+// Verify API compatibility
+sess.SetFlash("message")
+flash := sess.GetFlash()
+```
+
+### 8. Custom Middleware
+
+**Issue**: Any custom Macaron middleware needs porting.
+
+**Solution**: Audit and rewrite custom middleware:
+```go
+// Macaron middleware
+func MyMiddleware() macaron.Handler {
+    return func(c *macaron.Context) { }
+}
+
+// Flamego middleware
+func MyMiddleware() flamego.Handler {
+    return func(c flamego.Context) { }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### 1. Test Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Keep both versions temporarily
+go mod tidy
+
+# Run tests with Flamego
+go test ./...
+
+# Compare behavior
+```
+
+### 2. Critical Test Cases
+
+- [ ] User registration and login
+- [ ] Repository creation and deletion
+- [ ] Push and pull operations (HTTP)
+- [ ] Issue creation and comments
+- [ ] Pull request flow
+- [ ] Webhooks
+- [ ] API endpoints (all v1 routes)
+- [ ] LFS operations
+- [ ] Admin panel functionality
+- [ ] File uploads
+- [ ] Session management
+- [ ] CSRF protection
+- [ ] i18n/localization
+
+### 3. Integration Tests
+
+Create integration test suite that covers:
+- HTTP request/response cycle
+- Middleware execution order
+- Session persistence
+- CSRF token validation
+- Form binding and validation
+- Template rendering
+- Static file serving
+
+### 4. Performance Testing
+
+```bash
+# Benchmark before migration
+ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://localhost:3000/
+
+# Benchmark after migration
+ab -n 1000 -c 10 http://localhost:3000/
+
+# Compare results
+```
+
+### 5. Security Testing
+
+- [ ] CSRF protection works
+- [ ] Session security maintained
+- [ ] Authentication bypass tests
+- [ ] XSS prevention
+- [ ] SQL injection prevention (should be unchanged)
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+### Quick Rollback
+
+If critical issues are discovered:
+
+1. **Git Revert**
+   ```bash
+   git revert <commit-range>
+   git push
+   ```
+
+2. **go.mod Rollback**
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main -- go.mod go.sum
+   go mod tidy
+   ```
+
+3. **Deploy Previous Version**
+   - Use tagged release
+   - Roll back to last stable commit
+
+### Gradual Migration (Alternative Approach)
+
+If full migration is too risky:
+
+1. **Feature Flag**: Use build tags or environment variables
+2. **Parallel Handlers**: Support both frameworks temporarily
+3. **Incremental Migration**: Migrate module by module
+4. **A/B Testing**: Route subset of traffic to new version
+
+## Conclusion
+
+### Summary
+
+Migrating from Macaron to Flamego is a **significant but manageable** undertaking. Flamego provides excellent feature parity with Macaron, including all the middleware that Gogs currently uses (except toolbox, which is easy to replace).
+
+### Key Advantages of Migration
+
+✅ **Complete Feature Parity**: All required middleware is available
+✅ **Same Philosophy**: Dependency injection pattern maintained  
+✅ **Better Performance**: Improved routing engine  
+✅ **Active Development**: Regular updates and improvements  
+✅ **Official Successor**: Created by Macaron's author  
+✅ **Better Routing**: More powerful routing capabilities  
+
+### Remaining Concerns
+
+⚠️ **Large Scope**: ~150+ files need modification  
+⚠️ **Testing Burden**: Comprehensive testing required  
+⚠️ **Learning Curve**: Team needs to learn new APIs  
+⚠️ **Toolbox Replacement**: Need custom health check implementation  
+
+### Recommendation
+
+**Proceed with migration** using the phased approach outlined above. The migration is worthwhile because:
+
+1. Flamego is the official successor to Macaron
+2. All necessary middleware is available
+3. The migration path is clear and well-documented
+4. Long-term benefits outweigh short-term costs
+5. Macaron is in maintenance mode only
+
+### Next Steps
+
+1. **Get team buy-in** on migration decision
+2. **Allocate resources** (3-4 weeks of developer time)
+3. **Create feature branch** and begin Phase 1
+4. **Set up comprehensive test coverage** before starting
+5. **Document progress** and issues encountered
+6. **Plan staged rollout** to production
