Architecture
############
This page describes the architecture of PostgREST.

Code Map
========
This section talks briefly about various important modules.
The starting points of the program are:
- `Main.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/main/Main.hs>`_
- `CLI.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/CLI.hs>`_
- `App.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/App.hs>`_
``App.hs`` is then in charge of composing the different modules.
Auth
----
`Auth.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/Auth.hs>`_ is in charge of :ref:`authn`.
Api Request
-----------
`ApiRequest.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/ApiRequest.hs>`_ is in charge of parsing the URL query string (following PostgREST syntax), the request headers, and the request body.
A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid. For example when providing an unknown media type to PostgREST or using an unknown HTTP method.
Plan
----
Using the Schema Cache, `Plan.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/Plan.hs>`_ fills in out-of-band SQL details (like an ``ON CONFLICT (pk)`` clause) required to complete the user request.
A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid. For example when doing resource embedding on a nonexistent resource.
Query
-----
`Query.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/Query.hs>`_ generates the SQL queries (parametrized and prepared) required to satisfy the user request.
Only at this stage a connection from the pool might be used.
Schema Cache
------------
`SchemaCache.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/SchemaCache.hs>`_ is in charge of :ref:`schema_cache`.
Config
------
`Config.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/Config.hs>`_ is in charge of :ref:`configuration`.
Admin
-----
`Admin.hs <https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/blob/main/src/PostgREST/Admin.hs>`_ is in charge of the :ref:`admin_server`.
