Template github repo used for new Kotlin based projects.
This is a Spring Boot service, written in Kotlin, which acts as an interface to the data in the Core Person Record and Person Protected Characteristics domains.

# Instructions
## Contents

If this is a HMPPS project then the project will be created as part of bootstrapping -
see [dps-project-bootstrap](https://github.com/ministryofjustice/dps-project-bootstrap). You are able to specify a
template application using the `github_template_repo` attribute to clone without the need to manually do this yourself
within GitHub.

2. [Architecture Decision Records](architecture-decision-record/README.md)

This project is community managed by the mojdt `#kotlin-dev` slack channel.
Please raise any questions or queries there. Contributions welcome!

Our security policy is located [here](https://github.com/ministryofjustice/hmpps-person-integration-api/security/policy).

Documentation to create new service is located [here](https://tech-docs.hmpps.service.justice.gov.uk/applicationplatform/newservice-GHA/).

## Creating a Cloud Platform namespace

When deploying to a new namespace, you may wish to use the
[templates project namespace](https://github.com/ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments/tree/main/namespaces/live.cloud-platform.service.justice.gov.uk/hmpps-templates-dev)
as the basis for your new namespace. This namespace contains both the kotlin and typescript template projects,
which is the usual way that projects are setup.

Copy this folder and update all the existing namespace references to correspond to the environment to which you're deploying.

If you only need the kotlin configuration then remove all typescript references and remove the elasticache configuration.

To ensure the correct github teams can approve releases, you will need to make changes to the configuration in `resources/service-account-github` where the appropriate team names will need to be added (based on [lines 98-100](https://github.com/ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments/blob/main/namespaces/live.cloud-platform.service.justice.gov.uk/hmpps-templates-dev/resources/serviceaccount-github.tf#L98) and the reference appended to the teams list below [line 112](https://github.com/ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments/blob/main/namespaces/live.cloud-platform.service.justice.gov.uk/hmpps-templates-dev/resources/serviceaccount-github.tf#L112)). Note: hmpps-sre is in this list to assist with deployment issues.

Submit a PR to the Cloud Platform team in
#ask-cloud-platform. Further instructions from the Cloud Platform team can be found in
the [Cloud Platform User Guide](https://user-guide.cloud-platform.service.justice.gov.uk/#cloud-platform-user-guide)

## Renaming from HMPPS Template Kotlin - github Actions

Once the new repository is deployed. Navigate to the repository in github, and select the `Actions` tab.
Click the link to `Enable Actions on this repository`.

Find the Action workflow named: `rename-project-create-pr` and click `Run workflow`. This workflow will
execute the `rename-project.bash` and create Pull Request for you to review. Review the PR and merge.

Note: ideally this workflow would run automatically however due to a recent change github Actions are not
enabled by default on newly created repos. There is no way to enable Actions other then to click the button in the UI.
If this situation changes we will update this project so that the workflow is triggered during the bootstrap project.
Further reading: <https://github.community/t/workflow-isnt-enabled-in-repos-generated-from-template/136421>

The script takes six arguments:

### New project name

This should start with `hmpps-` e.g. `hmpps-prison-visits` so that it can be easily distinguished in github from
other departments projects. Try to avoid using abbreviations so that others can understand easily what your project is.

### Slack channel for release notifications

By default, release notifications are only enabled for production. The circleci configuration can be amended to send
release notifications for deployments to other environments if required. Note that if the configuration is amended,
the slack channel should then be amended to your own team's channel as `dps-releases` is strictly for production release
notifications. If the slack channel is set to something other than `dps-releases`, production release notifications
will still automatically go to `dps-releases` as well. This is configured by `releases-slack-channel` in
`.circleci/config.yml`.

### Slack channel for pipeline security notifications

Ths channel should be specific to your team and is for daily / weekly security scanning job results. It is your team's
responsibility to keep up-to-date with security issues and update your application so that these jobs pass. You will
only be notified if the jobs fail. The scan results can always be found in circleci for your project. This is
configured by `alerts-slack-channel` in `.circleci/config.yml`.

### Non production kubernetes alerts

By default Prometheus alerts are created in the application namespaces to monitor your application e.g. if your
application is crash looping, there are a significant number of errors from the ingress. Since Prometheus runs in
cloud platform AlertManager needs to be setup first with your channel. Please see
[Create your own custom alerts](https://user-guide.cloud-platform.service.justice.gov.uk/documentation/monitoring-an-app/how-to-create-alarms.html)
in the Cloud Platform user guide. Once that is setup then the `custom severity label` can be used for
`alertSeverity` in the `helm_deploy/values-*.yaml` configuration.

Normally it is worth setting up two separate labels and therefore two separate slack channels - one for your production
alerts and one for your non-production alerts. Using the same channel can mean that production alerts are sometimes
lost within non-production issues.

### Production kubernetes alerts

This is the severity label for production, determined by the `custom severity label`. See the above
#non-production-kubernetes-alerts for more information. This is configured in `helm_deploy/values-prod.yaml`.

### Product ID

This is so that we can link a component to a product and thus provide team and product information in the Developer
Portal. Refer to the developer portal at https://developer-portal.hmpps.service.justice.gov.uk/products to find your
product id. This is configured in `helm_deploy/<project_name>/values.yaml`.

## Manually branding from template app

Run the `rename-project.bash` without any arguments. This will prompt for the six required parameters and create a PR.
The script requires a recent version of `bash` to be installed, as well as GNU `sed` in the path.

## TODOs and Examples

We have tried to provide some examples of best practice in the application - so there are lots of TODOs in the code
where changes are required to meet your requirements. There is an `ExampleResource` that includes best practice and also
serve as spring security examples. The template typescript project has a demonstration that calls this endpoint as well.

For the demonstration, rather than introducing a dependency on a different service, this application calls out to
itself. This is only to show a service calling out to another service and is certainly not recommended!

## Running the application locally

The application comes with a `dev` spring profile that includes default settings for running locally. This is not
necessary when deploying to kubernetes as these values are included in the helm configuration templates -
e.g. `values-dev.yaml`.

There is also a `docker-compose.yml` that can be used to run a local instance of the template in docker and also an
instance of HMPPS Auth (required if your service calls out to other services using a token).

```bash
docker compose pull && docker compose up
```

will build the application and run it and HMPPS Auth within a local docker instance.

### Running the application in Intellij

```bash
docker compose pull && docker compose up --scale hmpps-person-integration-api=0
```

will just start a docker instance of HMPPS Auth. The application should then be started with a `dev` active profile
in Intellij.

# 0. Separate domain specific code by package

Date: 2024-11-21

## Status

✅ Accepted

## Context

The HMPPS Person integration API provides an interface to access data from two different domains.
The `Core Person Record` domain and the `Person Protected Characteristics` domain. These domains are
related but may be separated out into separate services in the future.

## Decision

There will be a top level package for each domain, `corepersonrecord` and `personprotectedcharacteristics` which will keep
any domain specific logic separate. A `common` package will be used for any shared code.

```
project/
├── src/
│ ├── main/
│ │ ├── kotlin/
│ │ │ ├── common/ # Common code shared across domains
│ │ │ ├── corepersonrecord/ # Core person record package
│ │ │ ├── personprotectedcharacteristics/ # Person protected characteristics package
│ │ └── resources/
```

# 1. Structure packages by API version

Date: 2024-11-21

## Status

✅ Accepted

## Context

This API is likely to go through multiple iterations as data models change and expand. To ensure the
API can evolve without causing friction to clients, we will version the API whenever there are breaking changes.
As there may be multiple versions of the API live at a given time we need to code structured and easy to maintain and understand.

## Decision

Code specific to a specific API version will be stored in a separate package.

```
project/
├── src/
│ ├── main/
│ │ ├── kotlin/
│ │ │ ├── common/ # Common code shared across modules or components
│ │ │ ├── corepersonrecord/ # Core person record module
│ │ │ │ ├── shared/ # Code common between versions
│ │ │ │ ├── v1/ # Version 1 specific code
│ │ │ │ ├── v2/ # Version 2 specific code
│ │ └── resources/
```

## Consequences

We will need to refactor the current package structure when we start introducing version 2 functionality.

# 2. Include username in client credentials token

Date: 2024-11-21

## Status

✅ Accepted

## Context

The HMPPS Person Integration API will make calls to downstream services using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant for authorisation.
The API will be authorised to make calls to downstream services however for audit purposes the username of the instigating user is required.
The HMPPS Auth service provides functionality to include a username within an OAuth token obtained using client credentials which can then be
verified and extracted by downstream services.

## Decision

The API will make use of the HMPPS Auth functionality to include a username within the token generated whe using a client credentials grant.

## Consequences

In order to the HMPPS Auth functionality to include the username in token when using the client credentials grant will require a non-standard
OAuth token request query.

## Building

To build the project without tests run:

```
./gradlew clean build -x test
```

## Testing

To run the unit and integration tests:
```
./gradlew test
```

## Running Locally

There are two variation for running the application locally.

- [Running against containerised dependencies](#Running against containerised dependencies)
- [Running against dependencies deployed in dev](#Running against dependencies deployed in dev)

### Running against containerised dependencies

The following command will build and run the application via docker compose along with containers for HMPPS Auth and Prison API.

> NOTE: A client with the required roles will need to be added to the containerised version of HMPPS Auth in order to generate OAuth tokens.
> The client id and secret can then be referenced in a .env file as the `SYSTEM_CLIENT_ID` and `SYSTEM_CLIENT_SECRET`.
```
docker compose pull && docker compose up --build
```

This will run the application on http://localhost:8080 and the swagger docs will be found at http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html# .

#### Running through Gradle or IntelliJ

If you want to run the application through IntelliJ or command line with gradle using the containerised dependencies then use:

```
docker compose pull && docker compose up --scale hmpps-person-integration-api=0
```

Then start the application using Gradle or IntelliJ.

> NOTE: The required client credentials environment variables (`SYSTEM_CLIENT_ID` and `SYSTEM_CLIENT_SECRET`) will need to set prior to starting the application.
**IntelliJ:**

Run or debug the main class with the spring active profile set to `dev`:

**Gradle:**

```
./gradlew bootRun --args='--spring.profiles.active=dev'
```

### Running against dependencies deployed in dev

In order to run against deployed dependencies in dev the

<details>
<summary>Environment variables required</summary>
<br>
Note, client credentials from the dev namespace (hmpps-person-integration-api-dev) kubernetes secrets.

```
SYSTEM_CLIENT_ID=<Extract from k8s namespace>
SYSTEM_CLIENT_SECRET=<Extract from k8s namespace>
HMPPS_AUTH_URL=https://sign-in-dev.hmpps.service.justice.gov.uk/auth
PRISON_API_BASE_URL=https://prison-api-dev.prison.service.justice.gov.uk
```
</details>

Once the environment variables have been set the application can be run via Gradle or IntelliJ using the commands in [this section](#running-through-gradle-or-intellij)

## Common gradle tasks

To list project dependencies, run:

```
./gradlew dependencies
```

To check for dependency updates, run:
```
./gradlew dependencyUpdates --warning-mode all
```

To run an OWASP dependency check, run:
```
./gradlew clean dependencyCheckAnalyze --info
```

To upgrade the gradle wrapper version, run:
```
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=<VERSION>
```

To automatically update project dependencies, run:
```
./gradlew useLatestVersions
```

#### Ktlint Gradle Tasks

To run Ktlint check:
```
./gradlew ktlintCheck
```

To run Ktlint format:
```
./gradlew ktlintFormat
```

To register pre-commit check to run Ktlint format:
```
./gradlew addKtlintFormatGitPreCommitHook
```

...or to register pre-commit check to only run Ktlint check:
```
./gradlew addKtlintCheckGitPreCommitHook
```
