Package mux implements a request router and dispatcher. The name mux stands for "HTTP request multiplexer". Like the standard http.ServeMux, mux.Router matches incoming requests against a list of registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL or other conditions. The main features are: Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers: Here we register three routes mapping URL paths to handlers. This is equivalent to how http.HandleFunc() works: if an incoming request URL matches one of the paths, the corresponding handler is called passing (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) as parameters. Paths can have variables. They are defined using the format {name} or {name:pattern}. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched variable will be anything until the next slash. For example: Groups can be used inside patterns, as long as they are non-capturing (?:re). For example: The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling mux.Vars(): Note that if any capturing groups are present, mux will panic() during parsing. To prevent this, convert any capturing groups to non-capturing, e.g. change "/{sort:(asc|desc)}" to "/{sort:(?:asc|desc)}". This is a change from prior versions which behaved unpredictably when capturing groups were present. And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below. Routes can also be restricted to a domain or subdomain. Just define a host pattern to be matched. They can also have variables: There are several other matchers that can be added. To match path prefixes: ...or HTTP methods: ...or URL schemes: ...or header values: ...or query values: ...or to use a custom matcher function: ...and finally, it is possible to combine several matchers in a single route: Setting the same matching conditions again and again can be boring, so we have a way to group several routes that share the same requirements. We call it "subrouting". For example, let's say we have several URLs that should only match when the host is "www.example.com". Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter" from it: Then register routes in the subrouter: The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is "www.example.com", because the subrouter is tested first. This is not only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route. Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its paths relatively to a given subrouter. There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix, the inner routes use it as base for their paths: Note that the path provided to PathPrefix() represents a "wildcard": calling PathPrefix("/static/").Handler(...) means that the handler will be passed any request that matches "/static/*". This makes it easy to serve static files with mux: Now let's see how to build registered URLs. Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built, or "reversed". We define a name calling Name() on a route. For example: To build a URL, get the route and call the URL() method, passing a sequence of key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do: ...and the result will be a url.URL with the following path: This also works for host and query value variables: All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match. Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do: ...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as `application/text` There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route: use the methods URLHost() or URLPath() instead. For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: Mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router, which are executed in the order they are added if a match is found, including its subrouters. Middlewares are (typically) small pieces of code which take one request, do something with it, and pass it down to another middleware or the final handler. Some common use cases for middleware are request logging, header manipulation, or ResponseWriter hijacking. Typically, the returned handler is a closure which does something with the http.ResponseWriter and http.Request passed to it, and then calls the handler passed as parameter to the MiddlewareFunc (closures can access variables from the context where they are created). A very basic middleware which logs the URI of the request being handled could be written as: Middlewares can be added to a router using `Router.Use()`: A more complex authentication middleware, which maps session token to users, could be written as: Note: The handler chain will be stopped if your middleware doesn't call `next.ServeHTTP()` with the corresponding parameters. This can be used to abort a request if the middleware writer wants to.

Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags. It can also handle Cross-Field and Cross-Struct validation for nested structs and has the ability to dive into arrays and maps of any type. see more examples https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/master/_examples Validator is designed to be thread-safe and used as a singleton instance. It caches information about your struct and validations, in essence only parsing your validation tags once per struct type. Using multiple instances neglects the benefit of caching. The not thread-safe functions are explicitly marked as such in the documentation. Doing things this way is actually the way the standard library does, see the file.Open method here: The authors return type "error" to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil: Validator only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so err.(validator.ValidationErrors). Custom Validation functions can be added. Example: Cross-Field Validation can be done via the following tags: If, however, some custom cross-field validation is required, it can be done using a custom validation. Why not just have cross-fields validation tags (i.e. only eqcsfield and not eqfield)? The reason is efficiency. If you want to check a field within the same struct "eqfield" only has to find the field on the same struct (1 level). But, if we used "eqcsfield" it could be multiple levels down. Example: Multiple validators on a field will process in the order defined. Example: Bad Validator definitions are not handled by the library. Example: Baked In Cross-Field validation only compares fields on the same struct. If Cross-Field + Cross-Struct validation is needed you should implement your own custom validator. Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C. Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C Here is a list of the current built in validators: Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -) This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and accepted. (Usage: rgb|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. Allows to skip the validation if the value is nil (same as omitempty, but only for the nil-values). This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For booleans ensures value is not false. For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. For structs ensures value is not the zero value when using WithRequiredStructEnabled. The field under validation must be present and not empty only if all the other specified fields are equal to the value following the specified field. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. For structs ensures value is not the zero value. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty unless all the other specified fields are equal to the value following the specified field. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. For structs ensures value is not the zero value. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only if any of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. For structs ensures value is not the zero value.

For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. For structs ensures value is not the zero value. Examples: This validates that the value is the default value and is almost the opposite of required. For numbers, length will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, len will ensure that the value is equal to the duration given in the parameter. For numbers, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at most that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the duration given in the parameter. For numbers, min will ensure that the value is greater or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at least that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, min will ensure that the value is greater than or equal to the duration given in the parameter. For strings & numbers, eq will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, eq will ensure that the value is equal to the duration given in the parameter. For strings & numbers, ne will ensure that the value is not equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, ne will ensure that the value is not equal to the duration given in the parameter. For strings, ints, and uints, oneof will ensure that the value is one of the values in the parameter. The parameter should be a list of values separated by whitespace. Values may be strings or numbers. To match strings with spaces in them, include the target string between single quotes. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is greater than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than time.Now.UTC(). Example #3 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, gt will ensure that the value is greater than the duration given in the parameter. Same as 'min' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). Example #3 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, gte will ensure that the value is greater than or equal to the duration given in the parameter. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is less than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is less than that number of characters.

Alias Validators and Tags NOTE: When returning an error, the tag returned in "FieldError" will be the alias tag unless the dive tag is part of the alias. Everything after the dive tag is not reported as the alias tag. Also, the "ActualTag" in the before case will be the actual tag within the alias that failed. Here is a list of the current built in alias tags: Validator notes: A collection of validation rules that are frequently needed but are more complex than the ones found in the baked in validators. A non standard validator must be registered manually like you would with your own custom validation functions. Example of registration and use: Here is a list of the current non standard validators: This package panics when bad input is provided, this is by design, bad code like that should not make it to production.
Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags. It can also handle Cross-Field and Cross-Struct validation for nested structs and has the ability to dive into arrays and maps of any type. see more examples https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/v9/_examples Doing things this way is actually the way the standard library does, see the file.Open method here: The authors return type "error" to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil: Validator only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so err.(validator.ValidationErrors). Custom Validation functions can be added. Example: Cross-Field Validation can be done via the following tags: If, however, some custom cross-field validation is required, it can be done using a custom validation. Why not just have cross-fields validation tags (i.e. only eqcsfield and not eqfield)? The reason is efficiency. If you want to check a field within the same struct "eqfield" only has to find the field on the same struct (1 level). But, if we used "eqcsfield" it could be multiple levels down. Example: Multiple validators on a field will process in the order defined. Example: Bad Validator definitions are not handled by the library. Example: Baked In Cross-Field validation only compares fields on the same struct. If Cross-Field + Cross-Struct validation is needed you should implement your own custom validator. Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C. Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C Here is a list of the current built in validators: Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -) This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and accepted. (Usage: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. The field under validation must be present and not empty only if any of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only if all of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when any of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when all of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: This validates that the value is the default value and is almost the opposite of required. For numbers, length will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at most that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, min will ensure that the value is greater or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at least that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, eq will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, ne will ensure that the value is not equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings, ints, and uints, oneof will ensure that the value is one of the values in the parameter. The parameter should be a list of values separated by whitespace. Values may be strings or numbers. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is greater than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'min' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). For numbers, this will ensure that the value is less than the parameter given.

If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C. Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C Here is a list of the current built in validators: Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -) This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and accepted. (Usage: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. The field under validation must be present and not empty only if any of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only if all of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when any of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "".

Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when all of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: This validates that the value is the default value and is almost the opposite of required. For numbers, length will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the parameter given.

For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'min' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). For numbers, this will ensure that the value is less than the parameter given.

Example of registration and use: Here is a list of the current non standard validators: This package panics when bad input is provided, this is by design, bad code like that should not make it to production.
Package bindata converts any file into manageable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `MemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. If false, it will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The Compress option indicates that the supplied assets are GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desirable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.
Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags. It can also handle Cross-Field and Cross-Struct validation for nested structs and has the ability to dive into arrays and maps of any type. see more examples https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/master/_examples Validator is designed to be thread-safe and used as a singleton instance. It caches information about your struct and validations, in essence only parsing your validation tags once per struct type. Using multiple instances neglects the benefit of caching. The not thread-safe functions are explicitly marked as such in the documentation. Doing things this way is actually the way the standard library does, see the file.Open method here: The authors return type "error" to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil: Validator only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so err.(validator.ValidationErrors). Custom Validation functions can be added. Example: Cross-Field Validation can be done via the following tags: If, however, some custom cross-field validation is required, it can be done using a custom validation. Why not just have cross-fields validation tags (i.e. only eqcsfield and not eqfield)? The reason is efficiency. If you want to check a field within the same struct "eqfield" only has to find the field on the same struct (1 level). But, if we used "eqcsfield" it could be multiple levels down. Example: Multiple validators on a field will process in the order defined. Example: Bad Validator definitions are not handled by the library. Example: Baked In Cross-Field validation only compares fields on the same struct. If Cross-Field + Cross-Struct validation is needed you should implement your own custom validator. Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C. Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C Here is a list of the current built in validators: Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated.

Package goproperties implements read operations on .properties file. .properties is a file extension for files mainly used in Java related technologies to store the configurable parameters of an application. They can also be used for storing strings for Internationalization and localization; these are known as Property Resource Bundles. Each parameter is stored as a pair of strings, one storing the name of the parameter (called the key), and the other storing the value. Each line in a .properties file normally stores a single property. Several formats are possible for each line, including key=value, key = value, key:value, and key value. .properties files can use the number sign (#) or the exclamation mark (!) as the first non blank character in a line to denote that all text following it is a comment. The backwards slash is used to escape a character. An example of a properties file is provided below. In the example above, website would be a key, and its corresponding value would be http://en.wikipedia.org/. While the number sign and the exclamation mark marks text as comments, it has no effect when it is part of a property. Thus, the key message has the value Welcome to Wikipedia! and not Welcome to Wikipedia. Note also that all of the whitespace in front of Wikipedia! is excluded completely. The encoding of a .properties file is ISO-8859-1, also known as Latin-1. All non-Latin-1 characters must be entered by using Unicode escape characters, e. g. \uHHHH where HHHH is a hexadecimal index of the character in the Unicode character set. This allows for using .properties files as resource bundles for localization. A non-Latin-1 text file can be converted to a correct .properties file by using the native2ascii tool that is shipped with the JDK or by using a tool, such as po2prop, that manages the transformation from a bilingual localization format into .properties escaping.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. - UTF-8 support - Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins - Page header and footer management - Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification - Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images - Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency - Outline bookmarks - Internal and external links - TrueType, Type1 and encoding support - Page compression - Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses - Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring - Clipping - Document protection - Layers - Templates - Barcodes - Charting facility - Import PDFs as templates gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used. Also, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. This repository will not be maintained, at least for some unknown duration. But it is hoped that gofpdf has a bright future in the open source world. Due to Go’s promise of compatibility, gofpdf should continue to function without modification for a longer time than would be the case with many other languages. Forks should be based on the last viable commit. Tools such as active-forks can be used to select a fork that looks promising for your needs. If a particular fork looks like it has taken the lead in attracting followers, this README will be updated to point people in that direction. The efforts of all contributors to this project have been deeply appreciated. Best wishes to all of you. If you currently use the $GOPATH scheme, install the package with the following command. To test the installation, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running go test ./... is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you’ll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory and if the third argument to ComparePDFFiles() in internal/example/example.go is true. (By default it is false.) The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). You should use AddUTF8Font() or AddUTF8FontFromBytes() to add a TrueType UTF-8 encoded font. Use RTL() and LTR() methods switch between “right-to-left” and “left-to-right” mode. In order to use a different non-UTF-8 TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run “go build”. This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include Google Fonts and DejaVu Fonts. The draw2d package is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the contrib directory. Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should - be compatible with the MIT License - be properly documented - be formatted with go fmt - include an example in fpdf_test.go if appropriate - conform to the standards of golint and go vet, that is, golint . and go vet . should not generate any warnings - not diminish test coverage Pull requests are the preferred means of accepting your changes. gofpdf is released under the MIT License.

Paul also added support for page boxes used in printing PDF documents. Wojciech Matusiak added supported for word spacing. Artem Korotkiy added support of UTF-8 fonts. Dave Barnes added support for imported objects and templates. Brigham Thompson added support for rounded rectangles. Joe Westcott added underline functionality and optimized image storage. Benoit KUGLER contributed support for rectangles with corners of unequal radius, modification times, and for file attachments and annotations. - Remove all legacy code page font support; use UTF-8 exclusively - Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool.

Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. The draw2d package (https://github.com/llgcode/draw2d) is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better.

Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. This example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.
The archive utilities manage the internal format of a snapshot, which is a tar file with the following contents: meta.json - JSON-encoded snapshot metadata from Raft state.bin - Encoded snapshot data from Raft SHA256SUMS - SHA-256 sums of the above two files The integrity information is automatically created and checked, and a failure there just looks like an error to the caller. snapshot manages the interactions between Consul and Raft in order to take and restore snapshots for disaster recovery. The internal format of a snapshot is simply a tar file, as described in archive.go.
Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags. Basic examples: See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples: Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written. By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory. This package provides several flags that modify this behavior. As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done.

Package s2prot is a decoder/parser of Blizzard's StarCraft II replay file format (*.SC2Replay). s2prot processes the "raw" data that can be decoded from replay files using an MPQ parser such as https://github.com/icza/mpq. The package is safe for concurrent use. The package s2prot/rep provides enumerations and types to model data structures of StarCraft II replays (*.SC2Replay) decoded by the s2prot package. These provide a higher level overview and much easier to use. The below example code can be found in https://github.com/icza/s2prot/blob/master/_example/rep.go. To open and parse a replay: And that's all! We now have all the info from the replay! Printing some of it: Output: Tip: the Struct type defines a String() method which returns a nicely formatted JSON representation; this is what most type are "made of": Output: The below example code can be found in https://github.com/icza/s2prot/blob/master/_example/s2prot.go. To use s2prot, we need an MPQ parser to get content from a replay. Replay header (which is the MPQ User Data) can be decoded by s2prot.DecodeHeader(). Printing replay version: Base build is part of the replay header: Which can be used to obtain the proper instance of Protocol: Which can now be used to decode all other info in the replay. To decode the Details and print the map name: Tip: We can of course print the whole decoded header which is a Struct: Which yields a JSON text similar to the one posted above (at High-level Usage). - s2protocol: Blizzard's reference implementation in python: https://github.com/Blizzard/s2protocol - s2protocol implementation of the Scelight project: https://github.com/icza/scelight/tree/master/src-app/hu/scelight/sc2/rep/s2prot - Replay model of the Scelight project: https://github.com/icza/scelight/tree/master/src-app/hu/scelight/sc2/rep/model
Package goa provides the runtime support for goa microservices. goa service development begins with writing the *design* of a service. The design is described using the goa language implemented by the github.com/goadesign/goa/design/apidsl package. The `goagen` tool consumes the metadata produced from executing the design language to generate service specific code that glues the underlying HTTP server with action specific code and data structures. The goa package contains supporting functionality for the generated code including basic request and response state management through the RequestData and ResponseData structs, error handling via error classes, middleware support via the Middleware data structure as well as decoding and encoding algorithms. The RequestData and ResponseData structs provides access to the request and response state. goa request handlers also accept a context.Context interface as first parameter so that deadlines and cancelation signals may easily be implemented. The request state exposes the underlying http.Request object as well as the deserialized payload (request body) and parameters (both path and querystring parameters). Generated action specific contexts wrap the context.Context, ResponseData and RequestData data structures. They expose properly typed fields that correspond to the request parameters and body data structure descriptions appearing in the design. The response state exposes the response status and body length as well as the underlying ResponseWriter. Action contexts provide action specific helper methods that write the responses as described in the design optionally taking an instance of the media type for responses that contain a body. Here is an example showing an "update" action corresponding to following design (extract): The action signature generated by goagen is: where UpdateBottleContext is: and implements: The definitions of the Bottle and UpdateBottlePayload data structures are ommitted for brievity. There is one controller interface generated per resource defined via the design language. The interface exposes the controller actions. User code must provide data structures that implement these interfaces when mounting a controller onto a service. The controller data structure should include an anonymous field of type *goa.Controller which takes care of implementing the middleware handling. A goa middleware is a function that takes and returns a Handler. A Handler is a the low level function which handles incoming HTTP requests. goagen generates the handlers code so each handler creates the action specific context and calls the controller action with it. Middleware can be added to a goa service or a specific controller using the corresponding Use methods. goa comes with a few stock middleware that handle common needs such as logging, panic recovery or using the RequestID header to trace requests across multiple services. The controller action methods generated by goagen such as the Update method of the BottleController interface shown above all return an error value. goa defines an Error struct that action implementations can use to describe the content of the corresponding HTTP response. Errors can be created using error classes which are functions created via NewErrorClass. The ErrorHandler middleware maps errors to HTTP responses. Errors that are instances of the Error struct are mapped using the struct fields while other types of errors return responses with status code 500 and the error message in the body. The goa design language documented in the dsl package makes it possible to attach validations to data structure definitions. One specific type of validation consists of defining the format that a data structure string field must follow. Example of formats include email, data time, hostnames etc. The ValidateFormat function provides the implementation for the format validation invoked from the code generated by goagen. The goa design language makes it possible to specify the encodings supported by the API both as input (Consumes) and output (Produces). goagen uses that information to registed the corresponding packages with the service encoders and decoders via their Register methods. The service exposes the DecodeRequest and EncodeResponse that implement a simple content type negotiation algorithm for picking the right encoder for the "Content-Type" (decoder) or "Accept" (encoder) request header. Package goa standardizes on structured error responses: a request that fails because of an invalid input or an unexpected condition produces a response that contains a structured error. The error data structures returned to clients contains five fields: an ID, a code, a status, a detail and metadata. The ID is unique for the occurrence of the error, it helps correlate the content of the response with the content of the service logs. The code defines the class of error (e.g. "invalid_parameter_type") and the status the corresponding HTTP status (e.g. 400). The detail contains a message specific to the error occurrence. The metadata contains key/value pairs that provide contextual information (name of parameters, value of invalid parameter etc.). Instances of Error can be created via Error Class functions. See http://goa.design/implement/error_handling.html All instance of errors created via a error class implement the ServiceError interface. This interface is leveraged by the error handler middleware to produce the error responses. The code generated by goagen calls the helper functions exposed in this file when it encounters invalid data (wrong type, validation errors etc.) such as InvalidParamTypeError, InvalidAttributeTypeError etc. These methods return errors that get merged with any previously encountered error via the Error Merge method. The helper functions are error classes stored in global variable. This means your code can override their values to produce arbitrary error responses. goa includes an error handler middleware that takes care of mapping back any error returned by previously called middleware or action handler into HTTP responses. If the error was created via an error class then the corresponding content including the HTTP status is used otherwise an internal error is returned. Errors that bubble up all the way to the top (i.e. not handled by the error middleware) also generate an internal error response.
Package i18n offers the following basic internationalization functionality: There's more we'd like to add in the future, including: In order to interact with this package, you must first get a TranslatorFactory instace. Through the TranslatorFactory, you can get a Translator instance. Almost everything in this package is accessed through methods on the Translator struct. About the rules and messages paths: This package ships with built-in rules, and you are welcome to use those directly. However, if there are locales or rules that are missing from what ships directly with this package, or if you desire to use different rules than those that ship with this package, then you can specify additional rules paths. At this time, this package does not ship with built-in messages, other than a few used for the unit tests. You will need to specify your own messages path(s). For both rules and messages paths, you can specify multiple. Paths later in the slice take precedence over packages earlier in the slice. For a basic example of getting a TranslatorFactory instance: For simple message translation, use the Translate function, and send an empty map as the second argument (we'll explain that argument in the next section). You can also pass placeholder values to the translate function. That's what the second argument is for. In this example, we will inject a username into the translation. You can also translate strings with plurals. However, any one message can contain at most one plural. If you want to translate "I need 5 apples and 3 oranges" you are out of luck. The Pluralize method takes 3 arguments. The first is the message key - just like the Translate method. The second argument is a float which is used to determine which plural form to use. The third is a string representation of the number. Why two arguments for the number instead of one? This allows you ultimate flexibility in number formatting to use in the translation while eliminating the need for string number parsing. You can use the "FomatNumber", "FormatCurrency" and "FormatPercent" methods to do locale-based number formatting for numbers, currencies and percentages. If you need to sort a list of strings alphabetically, then you should not use a simple string comparison to do so - this will often result in incorrect results. "ȧ" would normally evaluate as greater than "z", which is not correct in any latin writing system alphabet. Use can use the Sort method on the Translator struct to do an alphabetic sorting that is correct for that locale. Alternatively, you can access the SortUniversal and the SortLocale functions directly without a Translator instance. SortUniversal does not take a specific locale into account when doing the alphabetic sorting, which means it might be slightly less accurate than the SortLocal function. However, there are cases in which the collation rules for a specific locale are unknown, or the sorting needs to be done in a local-agnostic way. For these cases, the SortUniversal function performs a unicode normalization in order to best sort the strings. In order to be flexible, these functions take a generic interface slice and a function for retrieving the value on which to perform the sorting. For example: When getting a Translator instance, the TranslatorFactory will automatically attempt to determine an appropriate fallback Translator for the locale you specify. For locales with specific "flavors", like "en-au" or "zh-hans", the "vanilla" version of that locale will be used if it exists. In these cases that would be "en" and "zh". When creating a TranslatorFactory instance, you can optionally specify a final fallback locale. This will be used if it exists. When determining a fallback, the the factory first checks the less specific versions of the specified locale, if they exist and will ultimate fallback to the global fallback if specified. All of the examples above conveniently ignore errors. We recommend that you DO handle errors. The system is designed to give you a valid result if at all possible, even in errors occur in the process. However, the errors are still returned and may provide you helpful information you might otherwise miss - like missing files, file permissions problems, yaml format problems, missing translations, etc. We recommend that you do some sort of logging of these errors.
Package pdf implements reading of PDF files. PDF is Adobe's Portable Document Format, ubiquitous on the internet. A PDF document is a complex data format built on a fairly simple structure. This package exposes the simple structure along with some wrappers to extract basic information. If more complex information is needed, it is possible to extract that information by interpreting the structure exposed by this package. Specifically, a PDF is a data structure built from Values, each of which has one of the following Kinds: The accessors on Value—Int64, Float64, Bool, Name, and so on—return a view of the data as the given type. When there is no appropriate view, the accessor returns a zero result. For example, the Name accessor returns the empty string if called on a Value v for which v.Kind() != Name. Returning zero values this way, especially from the Dict and Array accessors, which themselves return Values, makes it possible to traverse a PDF quickly without writing any error checking. On the other hand, it means that mistakes can go unreported. The basic structure of the PDF file is exposed as the graph of Values. Most richer data structures in a PDF file are dictionaries with specific interpretations of the name-value pairs. The Font and Page wrappers make the interpretation of a specific Value as the corresponding type easier. They are only helpers, though: they are implemented only in terms of the Value API and could be moved outside the package. Equally important, traversal of other PDF data structures can be implemented in other packages as needed.
Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking.

Package dsc - datastore connectivity library This library provides connection capabilities to SQL, noSQL datastores or structured files providing sql layer on top of it. For native database/sql it is just a ("database/sql") proxy, and for noSQL it supports simple SQL that is being translated to put/get,scan,batch native NoSQL operations. Datastore Manager implements read, batch (no insert nor update), and delete operations. Read operation requires data record mapper, Persist operation requires dml provider. Delete operation requries key provider. Datastore Manager provides default record mapper and dml/key provider for a struct, if no actual implementation is passed in. 1 column - name of datastore field/column 2 autoincrement - boolean flag to use autoincrement, in this case on insert the value can be automatically set back on application model class 3 primaryKey - boolean flag primary key 4 dateLayout - date layout check string to time.Time conversion 4 dateFormat - date format check java simple date format 5 sequence - name of sequence used to generate next id 6 transient - boolean flag to not map a field with record data 7 valueMap - value maping that will be applied after fetching a record and before writing it to datastore. Usage:
Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions that have a name matched by regex: If Context is present, function takes context.Context argument. The context is used to pass through the Trace Context to log sinks that can make use of it. It is recommended to use the context variant of the functions over the non-context variants if a context is available to make sure the Trace Contexts are present in logs. If Depth is present, this function calls log from a different depth in the call stack. This enables a callee to emit logs that use the callsite information of its caller or any other callers in the stack. When depth == 0, the original callee's line information is emitted. When depth > 0, depth frames are skipped in the call stack and the final frame is treated like the original callee to Info. If 'f' is present, function formats according to a format specifier. This package also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags. Basic examples: See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples: Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written. By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory. This package provides several flags that modify this behavior. As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done. Other flags provide aids to debugging.
Package archiver facilitates convenient, cross-platform, high-level archival and compression operations for a variety of formats and compression algorithms. This package and its dependencies are written in pure Go (not cgo) and have no external dependencies, so they should run on all major platforms. (It also comes with a command for CLI use in the cmd/arc folder.) Each supported format or algorithm has a unique type definition that implements the interfaces corresponding to the tasks they perform. For example, the Tar type implements Reader, Writer, Archiver, Unarchiver, Walker, and several other interfaces. The most common functions are implemented at the package level for convenience: Archive, Unarchive, Walk, Extract, CompressFile, and DecompressFile. With these, the format type is chosen implicitly, and a sane default configuration is used. To customize a format's configuration, create an instance of its struct with its fields set to the desired values. You can also use and customize the handy Default* (replace the wildcard with the format's type name) for a quick, one-off instance of the format's type. To obtain a new instance of a format's struct with the default config, use the provided New*() functions. This is not required, however. An empty struct of any type, for example &Zip{} is perfectly valid, so you may create the structs manually, too. The examples on this page show how either may be done. See the examples in this package for an idea of how to wield this package for common tasks. Most of the examples which are specific to a certain format type, for example Zip, can be applied to other types that implement the same interfaces. For example, using Zip is very similar to using Tar or TarGz (etc), and using Gz is very similar to using Sz or Xz (etc). When creating archives or compressing files using a specific instance of the format's type, the name of the output file MUST match that of the format, to prevent confusion later on. If you absolutely need a different file extension, you may rename the file afterward. Values in this package are NOT safe for concurrent use. There is no performance benefit of reusing them, and since they may contain important state (especially while walking, reading, or writing), it is NOT recommended to reuse values from this package or change their configuration after they are in use.
Package archiver facilitates convenient, cross-platform, high-level archival and compression operations for a variety of formats and compression algorithms. This package and its dependencies are written in pure Go (not cgo) and have no external dependencies, so they should run on all major platforms. (It also comes with a command for CLI use in the cmd/arc folder.) Each supported format or algorithm has a unique type definition that implements the interfaces corresponding to the tasks they perform. For example, the Tar type implements Reader, Writer, Archiver, Unarchiver, Walker, and several other interfaces. The most common functions are implemented at the package level for convenience: Archive, Unarchive, Walk, Extract, CompressFile, and DecompressFile. With these, the format type is chosen implicitly, and a sane default configuration is used. To customize a format's configuration, create an instance of its struct with its fields set to the desired values. You can also use and customize the handy Default* (replace the wildcard with the format's type name) for a quick, one-off instance of the format's type. To obtain a new instance of a format's struct with the default config, use the provided New*() functions. This is not required, however. An empty struct of any type, for example &Zip{} is perfectly valid, so you may create the structs manually, too. The examples on this page show how either may be done. See the examples in this package for an idea of how to wield this package for common tasks. Most of the examples which are specific to a certain format type, for example Zip, can be applied to other types that implement the same interfaces. For example, using Zip is very similar to using Tar or TarGz (etc), and using Gz is very similar to using Sz or Xz (etc). When creating archives or compressing files using a specific instance of the format's type, the name of the output file MUST match that of the format, to prevent confusion later on. If you absolutely need a different file extension, you may rename the file afterward. Values in this package are NOT safe for concurrent use. There is no performance benefit of reusing them, and since they may contain important state (especially while walking, reading, or writing), it is NOT recommended to reuse values from this package or change their configuration after they are in use.
Package colour ([docs]1) provides [Quake-style colour formatting]2 for Unix terminals. It is a drop-in replacement for the fmt package. The package level functions can be used to write to stdout (or strings or other files). If stdout is not a terminal, colour formatting will be stripped. eg. For more control a Printer object can be created with various helper functions. This can be used to do useful things such as strip formatting, write to strings, and so on. The following sequences are converted to their equivalent ANSI colours:
Package props implements handling of property lists and files. It is fully compatible with the Java property file format and also provides additional features such as property expansion, configuration by convention, and encryption for use as application configuration. See the cmd dir for a helper application to encrypt and decrypt properties in files.
Package gcfg reads "INI-style" text-based configuration files with "name=value" pairs grouped into sections (gcfg files). This package is still a work in progress; see the sections below for planned changes. The syntax is based on that used by git config: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_syntax . There are some (planned) differences compared to the git config format: The functions in this package read values into a user-defined struct. Each section corresponds to a struct field in the config struct, and each variable in a section corresponds to a data field in the section struct. The mapping of each section or variable name to fields is done either based on the "gcfg" struct tag or by matching the name of the section or variable, ignoring case. In the latter case, hyphens '-' in section and variable names correspond to underscores '_' in field names. Fields must be exported; to use a section or variable name starting with a letter that is neither upper- or lower-case, prefix the field name with 'X'. (See https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=5763#c4 .) For sections with subsections, the corresponding field in config must be a map, rather than a struct, with string keys and pointer-to-struct values. Values for subsection variables are stored in the map with the subsection name used as the map key. (Note that unlike section and variable names, subsection names are case sensitive.) When using a map, and there is a section with the same section name but without a subsection name, its values are stored with the empty string used as the key. It is possible to provide default values for subsections in the section "default-<sectionname>" (or by setting values in the corresponding struct field "Default_<sectionname>"). The functions in this package panic if config is not a pointer to a struct, or when a field is not of a suitable type (either a struct or a map with string keys and pointer-to-struct values). The section structs in the config struct may contain single-valued or multi-valued variables. Variables of unnamed slice type (that is, a type starting with `[]`) are treated as multi-value; all others (including named slice types) are treated as single-valued variables. Single-valued variables are handled based on the type as follows. Unnamed pointer types (that is, types starting with `*`) are dereferenced, and if necessary, a new instance is allocated. For types implementing the encoding.TextUnmarshaler interface, the UnmarshalText method is used to set the value. Implementing this method is the recommended way for parsing user-defined types. For fields of string kind, the value string is assigned to the field, after unquoting and unescaping as needed. For fields of bool kind, the field is set to true if the value is "true", "yes", "on" or "1", and set to false if the value is "false", "no", "off" or "0", ignoring case. In addition, single-valued bool fields can be specified with a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value); in such case the value is set to true. Predefined integer types [u]int(|8|16|32|64) and big.Int are parsed as decimal or hexadecimal (if having '0x' prefix). (This is to prevent unintuitively handling zero-padded numbers as octal.) Other types having [u]int* as the underlying type, such as os.FileMode and uintptr allow decimal, hexadecimal, or octal values. Parsing mode for integer types can be overridden using the struct tag option ",int=mode" where mode is a combination of the 'd', 'h', and 'o' characters (each standing for decimal, hexadecimal, and octal, respectively.) All other types are parsed using fmt.Sscanf with the "%v" verb. For multi-valued variables, each individual value is parsed as above and appended to the slice. If the first value is specified as a "blank" value (variable name without equals sign and value), a new slice is allocated; that is any values previously set in the slice will be ignored. The types subpackage for provides helpers for parsing "enum-like" and integer types. There are 3 types of errors: Programmer errors trigger panics. These are should be fixed by the programmer before releasing code that uses gcfg. Data errors cause gcfg to return a non-nil error value. This includes the case when there are extra unknown key-value definitions in the configuration data (extra data). However, in some occasions it is desirable to be able to proceed in situations when the only data error is that of extra data. These errors are handled at a different (warning) priority and can be filtered out programmatically. To ignore extra data warnings, wrap the gcfg.Read*Into invocation into a call to gcfg.FatalOnly. The following is a list of changes under consideration:
Package controltower provides the API client, operations, and parameter types for AWS Control Tower. Amazon Web Services Control Tower offers application programming interface (API) operations that support programmatic interaction with these types of resources: controls landing zones baselines For more information about these types of resources, see the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide. These interfaces allow you to apply the Amazon Web Services library of pre-defined controls to your organizational units, programmatically. In Amazon Web Services Control Tower, the terms "control" and "guardrail" are synonyms. To call these APIs, you'll need to know: the controlIdentifier for the control--or guardrail--you are targeting. the ARN associated with the target organizational unit (OU), which we call the targetIdentifier . the ARN associated with a resource that you wish to tag or untag. To get the controlIdentifier for your Amazon Web Services Control Tower control: The controlIdentifier is an ARN that is specified for each control. You can view the controlIdentifier in the console on the Control details page, as well as in the documentation. The controlIdentifier is unique in each Amazon Web Services Region for each control. You can find the controlIdentifier for each Region and control in the Tables of control metadata or the Control availability by Region tablesin the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide. A quick-reference list of control identifers for the Amazon Web Services Control Tower legacy Strongly recommended and Elective controls is given in Resource identifiers for APIs and controlsin the Controls reference guide sectionof the Amazon Web Services Control Tower User Guide. Remember that Mandatory controls cannot be added or removed. ARN format: arn:aws:controltower:{REGION}::control/{CONTROL_NAME} Example: To get the targetIdentifier : The targetIdentifier is the ARN for an OU. In the Amazon Web Services Organizations console, you can find the ARN for the OU on the Organizational unit details page associated with that OU. OU ARN format: You can configure and launch an Amazon Web Services Control Tower landing zone with APIs. For an introduction and steps, see Getting started with Amazon Web Services Control Tower using APIs. For an overview of landing zone API operations, see Amazon Web Services Control Tower supports landing zone APIs. The individual API operations for landing zones are detailed in this document, the API reference manual, in the "Actions" section. You can apply the AWSControlTowerBaseline baseline to an organizational unit (OU) as a way to register the OU with Amazon Web Services Control Tower, programmatically. For a general overview of this capability, see Amazon Web Services Control Tower supports APIs for OU registration and configuration with baselines. You can call the baseline API operations to view the baselines that Amazon Web Services Control Tower enables for your landing zone, on your behalf, when setting up the landing zone. These baselines are read-only baselines. The individual API operations for baselines are detailed in this document, the API reference manual , in the "Actions" section.

Package changes implements Go module version management for a multi-module git repository. The Repository struct is a representation of a git repository containing multiple Go modules. Repository handles the whole release process with respect to versioning, including tagging the git repository and updating CHANGELOG, version.go, and go.mod files. The sequence of steps required to create a release of the SDK can be run from the Repository's DoRelease function: After this code snippet runs, the versions of modules within the specified repository will be updated based on change metadata contained in the repository. In order to make module versioning decisions during a release, the Repository's DoRelease function consumes metadata about changes included in the release. The metadata is stored in the root of the repository in a .changes directory. The Metadata struct provides a way to load, create, and modify the metadata in the .changes directory. The .changes directory is structured as follows: There are three file formats used in the .changes directory corresponding to three structs: Change, Release, and VersionEnclosure. The Repository's DoRelease function pdates both a top level CHANGELOG.md and per-module CHANGELOG.md files. The CHANGELOG.md in the root of the repository provides a consolidated view of all changelog entries for every module. This means that the root module does not have its own CHANGELOG. The Release struct handles the rendering of CHANGELOG files, generating an entry that is prepended to CHANGELOG files during a release. As part of the Repository's release process, any module within the repository that depends upon another module in the repository will have its dependency updated to the latest version. So, after a release all modules in the SDK depend on the latest version of any other SDK module.
Package gwob is a pure Go parser for Wavefront .OBJ 3D geometry file format. Example: See also: https://github.com/udhos/gwob
The rbxfile package handles the decoding, encoding, and manipulation of Roblox instance data structures. This package can be used to manipulate Roblox instance trees outside of the Roblox client. Such data structures begin with a Root struct. A Root contains a list of child Instances, which in turn contain more child Instances, and so on, forming a tree of Instances. These Instances can be accessed and manipulated using an API similar to that of Roblox. Each Instance also has a set of "properties". Each property has a specific value of a certain type. Every available type implements the Value interface, and is prefixed with "Value". Root structures can be decoded from and encoded to various formats, including Roblox's native file formats. The two sub-packages "rbxl" and "rbxlx" provide formats for Roblox's binary and XML formats. Root structures can also be encoded and decoded with the "json" package. Besides decoding from a format, root structures can also be created manually. The best way to do this is through the "declare" sub-package, which provides an easy way to generate root structures.
Package secretsmanager provides the client and types for making API requests to AWS Secrets Manager. AWS Secrets Manager is a web service that enables you to store, manage, and retrieve, secrets. This guide provides descriptions of the Secrets Manager API. For more information about using this service, see the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/introduction.html). This version of the Secrets Manager API Reference documents the Secrets Manager API version 2017-10-17. As an alternative to using the API directly, you can use one of the AWS SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (such as Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, and Android). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to AWS Secrets Manager. For example, the SDKs take care of cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/). We recommend that you use the AWS SDKs to make programmatic API calls to Secrets Manager. However, you also can use the Secrets Manager HTTP Query API to make direct calls to the Secrets Manager web service. To learn more about the Secrets Manager HTTP Query API, see Making Query Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/query-requests.html) in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. Secrets Manager supports GET and POST requests for all actions. That is, the API doesn't require you to use GET for some actions and POST for others. However, GET requests are subject to the limitation size of a URL. Therefore, for operations that require larger sizes, use a POST request. We welcome your feedback. Send your comments to awssecretsmanager-feedback@amazon.com (mailto:awssecretsmanager-feedback@amazon.com), or post your feedback and questions in the AWS Secrets Manager Discussion Forum (http://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=296). For more information about the AWS Discussion Forums, see Forums Help (http://forums.aws.amazon.com/help.jspa). The JSON that AWS Secrets Manager expects as your request parameters and that the service returns as a response to HTTP query requests are single, long strings without line breaks or white space formatting. The JSON shown in the examples is formatted with both line breaks and white space to improve readability. When example input parameters would also result in long strings that extend beyond the screen, we insert line breaks to enhance readability. You should always submit the input as a single JSON text string. AWS Secrets Manager supports AWS CloudTrail, a service that records AWS API calls for your AWS account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information that's collected by AWS CloudTrail, you can determine which requests were successfully made to Secrets Manager, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. For more about AWS Secrets Manager and its support for AWS CloudTrail, see Logging AWS Secrets Manager Events with AWS CloudTrail (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/monitoring.html#monitoring_cloudtrail) in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/what_is_cloud_trail_top_level.html). See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/WebAPI/secretsmanager-2017-10-17 for more information on this service. See secretsmanager package documentation for more information. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/secretsmanager/ To AWS Secrets Manager with the SDK use the New function to create a new service client. With that client you can make API requests to the service. These clients are safe to use concurrently. See the SDK's documentation for more information on how to use the SDK. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/ See aws.Config documentation for more information on configuring SDK clients. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/#Config See the AWS Secrets Manager client SecretsManager for more information on creating client for this service. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/secretsmanager/#New
Package CDF provides facilities to read and write files in NetCDF 'classic' (V1 or V2) format. The HDF based NetCDF-4 format is not supported. The data model and the classic file format are documented at A NetCDF file contains an immutable header (this library does not support modifying it) that defines the layout of the data section and contains metadata. The data can be read, written and, if there exists a record dimension, appended to. To create a new file, first create a header, e.g.: To use an existing file: The Header field of f is now usable for inspection of dimensions, variables and attributes, but should not be modified (obvious ways of doing this will cause panics). To read data from the file, use And similar for writing.
Package gopoet is a library to assist with generating Go code. It includes a model of the Go language that is simpler, and thus easier to work with, than those provided by the "go/ast" and "go/types" packages. It also provides adapter methods to allow simple interoperability with elements from the "go/types" and "reflect" packages. The Go Poet API and functionality is strongly influenced by a similar library for Java (for generating Java code) named Java Poet (https://github.com/square/javapoet). TypeName is the way Go Poet represents Go types. There is API in this package for constructing TypeName instances and for converting type representations from the "go/types" and "reflect" packages to TypeName values. It includes related types for representing function signatures, struct fields, and interface methods (Signature, FieldSpec, and MethodSpec respectively). GoFile is the root type in Go Poet for building a representation of Go language elements. The GoFile represents the file itself. The FileElement (and its various concrete implementations) represent top-level declarations in the file. And types like FieldSpec, InterfaceEmbed, and InterfaceMethod represent the elements that comprise struct and interface type definitions. Statements and expressions are not modeled by the Go Poet API, so function bodies and const and var initializers are represented with a type named CodeBlock. Usage of Go Poet involves constructing a GoFile, filling it with elements, and then using the various WriteGoFile* methods to then translate these models into Go source code. Import statements need not be defined manually. GoFile embeds a type named Imports which assists with managing import statements. It tracks all packages that are referenced, generating import aliases as necessary in the event of conflicts. After all referenced packages have been resolved, gopoet.Imports can then generate the import statements necessary. It also provides API for re-writing various references, to adjust their package qualifier so that references to elements or types in other packages are interpolated into Go source code with the correct qualifiers. The lowest level building blocks for the above API are representations of packages, symbols (references to named package-level elements, like consts, vars, types, and funcs), and method references (like a func symbol, but also includes a type qualifier, not just a package qualifier). Various parts of the API provide methods for accessing/converting to these types. Under the hood, it is packages and symbols that are re-written by an Imports instance to ensure all referenced elements are rendered with the package qualifier (e.g. the package name or associated import alias). Go Poet does not attempt to model Go statements and expressions or provide any way to create structured representations of function and method bodies. This is very similar to Java Poet *except* that Go Poet does not provide a custom mechanism for printing and formatting code. It instead relies on the existing facilities in the "fmt" and "text/template" packages. This package provides several types for modeling elements of the Go language that can then be referenced in code blocks (via "%s" or "%v" format specifiers or as elements of a data value rendered by a template). The CodeBlock type and related methods include API that resembles the various Print* functions in the "fmt" package. Before these are rendered to source code, references to Go elements and types are translated to account for the import statements (and any associated aliases) for the file context into which they are being rendered. Format arguments can also include instances of reflect.Type or even items from the "go/types" package: types.Type, types.Object, and *types.Package. These types of values will result in proper references to these elements when the code is actually rendered. Similarly, templates can be rendered, and the data value supplied to the template will be reconstructed, with any elements therein being first translated to have the right package qualifiers. As described above, code blocks (which represent function and method bodies and initializer expressions) can be rendered from templates and provided data values that the template renders. It is also possible to completely eschew modeling generated code with various elements and to generate a file completely from a template. In this case, you can still get value from Go Poet by using a *gopoet.Imports type to track imported packages and assign aliases, and then render the resulting []gopoet.ImportSpec from your template. Furthermore, the value that the template renders can contain instances of gopoet.TypeName, gopoet.Package, and gopoet.Symbol, just like when rendering code blocks for function bodies Calling imports.QualifyTemplateData(data) will re-write the values in the data value so they are properly qualified per the imported packages. Do this before rendering the template. One limitation of re-writing template data is that it cannot change the *types* of elements except in limited circumstances. For example, a Type from the "go/types" package cannot be converted to a gopoet.TypeName if the reference is a struct field whose type is types.Type (since gopoet.TypeName does not implement types.Type). Because of this, not all referenced types and elements can be re-written so may not be rendered correctly. For this reason, it is recommended to use gopoet.TypeName as the means of referring to types in a template data value, not types.Type or reflect.Type.
bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.
This is a most complete opensource library for parsing and generating of M3U8 playlists used in HTTP Live Streaming (Apple HLS) for internet video translations. M3U8 is simple text format and parsing library for it must be simple too. It did not offer ways to play HLS or handle playlists over HTTP. Library features are: Library coded accordingly with IETF draft http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming Examples of usage may be found in *_test.go files of a package. Also see below some simple examples. Create simple media playlist with sliding window of 3 segments and maximum of 50 segments. We add 5 testX.ts segments to playlist then encode it to M3U8 format and convert to string. Next example shows parsing of master playlist: We are open playlist from the file and parse it as master playlist.

Package bibtex is a bibtex parser written in Go. The package contains a simple parser and data structure to represent bibtex records. The basic syntax is: where BIBTYPE is the type of document (e.g. inproceedings, article, etc.) and IDENT is a string identifier. The bibtex format is not standardised, this parser follows the descriptions found in the link below. If there are any problems, please file any issues with a minimal working example at the GitHub repository. http://maverick.inria.fr/~Xavier.Decoret/resources/xdkbibtex/bibtex_summary.html
Package icns implements an encoder for Apple's `.icns` file format. Reference: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Icon_Image_format". icns files allow for high resolution icons to make your apps look sexy. The most common ways to generate icns files are 1. use `iconutil` which is a Mac native cli utility, or 2. use tools that wrap `ImageMagick` which adds a large dependency to your project for such a simple use case. With this library you can use pure Go to create icns files from any source image, given that you can decode it into an `image.Image`, without any heavyweight dependencies or subprocessing required. You can also use this library to create icns files on windows and linux. A small CLI app `icnsify` is provided to allow you to create icns files using this library from the command line. It supports piping, which is something `iconutil` does not do, making it substantially easier to wrap. Note: All icons within the icns are sized for high dpi retina screens, using the appropriate icns OSTypes.
Package pkcs12 implements some of PKCS#12 (also known as P12 or PFX). It is intended for decoding DER-encoded P12/PFX files for use with the crypto/tls package, and for encoding P12/PFX files for use by legacy applications which do not support newer formats. Since PKCS#12 uses weak encryption primitives, it SHOULD NOT be used for new applications. Note that only DER-encoded PKCS#12 files are supported, even though PKCS#12 allows BER encoding. This is becuase encoding/asn1 only supports DER. This package is forked from golang.org/x/crypto/pkcs12, which is frozen. The implementation is distilled from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7292 and referenced documents.

The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desirable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a [regular expression](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) string, which will be used to match a portion of the map keys and function names that should be stripped out. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool. When you want to embed big files or plenty of files, then the generated output is really big (maybe over 3Mo). Even if the generated file shouldn't be read, you probably need use analysis tool or an editor which can become slower with a such file. Generating big files can be avoided with `-split` command line option. In that case, the given output is a directory path, the tool will generate one source file per file to embed, and it will generate a common file nammed `common.go` which contains commons parts like API.
Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json This package implements three Handlers that add debugging information to the context, CallerFileHandler, CallerFuncHandler and CallerStackHandler. Here's an example that adds the source file and line number of each logging call to the context. This will output a line that looks like: Here's an example that logs the call stack rather than just the call site. This will output a line that looks like: The "%+v" format instructs the handler to include the path of the source file relative to the compile time GOPATH. The github.com/go-stack/stack package documents the full list of formatting verbs and modifiers available. The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy type. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/
bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.
Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are can be easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy function. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object.
