Pull request overview
Documentation maintenance run improving the RustAPI cookbook and learning path by adding guidance on error handling, large file uploads, and database pagination, plus updating internal docs inventory metadata.
Changes:
- Added a new cookbook recipe on error handling (
ApiErrorand customIntoResponseerrors). - Updated file upload docs with filename sanitization and a proposed streaming alternative.
- Added SQL pagination guidance to the DB integration recipe and updated the learning curriculum to reference the new material.

The documented default ApiError JSON shape here doesn’t match the implementation in rustapi-core: responses include error: { type, message, fields? } plus top-level error_id and optional request_id (there is no code field in the JSON body). Please update this example to reflect the actual response format so users can rely on it.

This comment implies ApiError::internal(...) automatically logs details and that clients always see “Internal Server Error”. In the current implementation, masking happens when converting to the JSON error response (in production it becomes “An internal error occurred”), and the provided message is returned in non-production environments. Please clarify this behavior to match ErrorResponse::from_api_error.
| // Returns 500 Internal Server Error (and logs the details) | |
| // The client sees "Internal Server Error" without the sensitive details | |
| // Returns 500 Internal Server Error. | |
| // When converted to JSON via `ErrorResponse::from_api_error`: | |
| // - in production, the client sees a generic "An internal error occurred" | |
| // - in non-production, the provided message ("Database connection failed") is returned |

| ### 4. Global Error Handling | ||
| For errors that occur outside of handlers (e.g., in extractors or middleware), RustAPI has default handlers. You can customize 404 and 500 pages using `RustApi::handle_error` (if supported by your version) or by ensuring your extractors return your custom error type. |

RustApi::handle_error does not appear to exist in this codebase (no symbol found). Please remove this API mention or replace it with the supported mechanism for customizing 404/500 handling in RustAPI.

You can customize the behavior for 404 and 500 responses by ensuring your extractors and middleware return your custom error type (such as `ApiError` or `AppError`), so they go through the same error mapping logic as your handlers. |

This streaming example uses module paths that don’t exist in rustapi_rs (rustapi_rs::http::Request and rustapi_rs::body::Body). In this repo the request wrapper is rustapi_rs::Request (or via prelude::*), and there isn’t a body module to import from.

rustapi_rs::hateoas is not a public module in this repo, so this import path won’t compile. Please import these types from the crate root (e.g., rustapi_rs::{PageInfo, ResourceCollection}) or from rustapi_core directly.

let offset = (page * size) as i64; can overflow usize before the cast if a client sends a very large page value (wraps in release builds). Prefer doing the math in i64 with checked/saturating ops (and return a 400 if it doesn’t fit) to keep the example safe.
| ## Handling Large Files (Streaming) | ||
|
|
||
| If you need to handle files larger than available RAM (e.g., video uploads), the built-in `Multipart` extractor is not suitable because it buffers the entire body. | ||
|
|
||
| Instead, you should access the request body stream directly and use a streaming multipart parser like `multer`. |

In this recipe the body-limit API/values should align with the actual framework: RustAPI’s default body size limit is 1MB (DEFAULT_BODY_LIMIT = 1024*1024) and the codebase doesn’t provide a DefaultBodyLimit layer. Please ensure the surrounding “Body Limits” guidance uses .body_limit(...) / BodyLimitLayer and the correct default size when explaining how to safely handle uploads.
| ### Learning Path | ||
| - Added **Module 11.5: Advanced Testing** to `docs/cookbook/src/learning/curriculum.md` covering `MockServer` and property testing concepts. | ||
| - Refined **Module 6.5: File Uploads** in `docs/cookbook/src/learning/curriculum.md` to explicitly warn about the buffering behavior of the `Multipart` extractor. | ||

Run report says Module 11.5 covers “MockServer and property testing concepts”, but the actual curriculum changes only introduce MockServer/integration testing (no property testing content is added). Please align the run report with the curriculum (or add the missing property testing material).

Request<Body> isn’t a valid handler argument type in RustAPI (the framework’s Request type isn’t generic). Also, multer::Multipart::new(req.into_body(), boundary) won’t work as written because RustAPI’s request body is not exposed as a Stream directly; you’ll need to build a byte stream (e.g., via BodyStream/StreamingBody or by converting req.take_stream() into a Stream<Item=Result<Bytes, _>>) before passing it to multer.
This maintenance run focuses on improving the cookbook and learning path, specifically addressing gaps in error handling, file upload performance (streaming), and database pagination.
