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:

Middlewares are defined using the de facto standard type: 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 dburl provides a standard, URL style mechanism for parsing and opening SQL database connection strings for Go. Provides standardized way to parse and open URLs for popular databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite3, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, in addition to most other SQL databases with a publicly available Go driver. Supported database connection URLs are of the form: Where: * for Microsoft SQL Server, /dbname can be /instance/dbname, where /instance is optional. For Oracle Database, /dbname is of the form /service/dbname where /service is the service name or SID, and /dbname is optional. Please see below for examples. Database connection URLs in the above format can be parsed with Parse as such: Additionally, a simple helper, Open, is provided that will parse, open, and return a standard sql.DB database connection: The following are example database connection URLs that can be handled by Parse and Open: The following protocols schemes (ie, driver) and their associated aliases are supported out of the box: Any protocol scheme alias:// can be used in place of protocol://, and will work identically with Parse and Open. Please note that the dburl package does not import actual SQL drivers, and only provides a standard way to parse/open respective database connection URLs. For reference, these are the following "expected" SQL drivers that would need to be imported: * OLE ODBC is a special alias for using the "MSDASQL.1" OLE provider with the ADODB driver on Windows. oleodbc:// URLs will be converted to the equivalent ADODB DSN with "Extended Properties" having the respective ODBC parameters, including the underlying transport prootocol. As such, oleodbc+protocol://user:pass@host/dbname URLs are equivalent to adodb://MSDASQL.1/?Extended+Properties=.... on Windows. See GenOLEODBC for information regarding how URL components are mapped and passed to ADODB's Extended Properties parameter. Parse and Open rely heavily on the standard net/url.URL type, as such parsing rules have the same conventions/semantics as any URL parsed by the standard library's net/url.Parse. This package was written mainly to support xo (https://github.com/xo/xo) and usql (https://github.com/xo/usql).
Package autorest implements an HTTP request pipeline suitable for use across multiple go-routines and provides the shared routines relied on by AutoRest (see https://github.com/Azure/autorest/) generated Go code. The package breaks sending and responding to HTTP requests into three phases: Preparing, Sending, and Responding. A typical pattern is: Each phase relies on decorators to modify and / or manage processing. Decorators may first modify and then pass the data along, pass the data first and then modify the result, or wrap themselves around passing the data (such as a logger might do). Decorators run in the order provided. For example, the following: will set the URL to: Preparers and Responders may be shared and re-used (assuming the underlying decorators support sharing and re-use). Performant use is obtained by creating one or more Preparers and Responders shared among multiple go-routines, and a single Sender shared among multiple sending go-routines, all bound together by means of input / output channels. Decorators hold their passed state within a closure (such as the path components in the example above). Be careful to share Preparers and Responders only in a context where such held state applies. For example, it may not make sense to share a Preparer that applies a query string from a fixed set of values. Similarly, sharing a Responder that reads the response body into a passed struct (e.g., ByUnmarshallingJson) is likely incorrect. Lastly, the Swagger specification (https://swagger.io) that drives AutoRest (https://github.com/Azure/autorest/) precisely defines two date forms: date and date-time. The github.com/Azure/go-autorest/autorest/date package provides time.Time derivations to ensure correct parsing and formatting. Errors raised by autorest objects and methods will conform to the autorest.Error interface. See the included examples for more detail. For details on the suggested use of this package by generated clients, see the Client described below.

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. 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 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. 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. 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 "".

Package nokiahealth is a client module for working with the Withings (previously Nokia Health (previously Withings)) API. The current version (v2) of this module has been updated to work with the newer Oauth2 implementation of the API. As with all Oauth2 APIs, you must obtain authorization to access the users data. To do so you must first register your application with the Withings api to obtain a ClientID and ClientSecret. Once you have your client information you can now create a new client. You will need to also provide the redirectURL you provided during application registration. This URL is where the user will be redirected to and will include the code you need to generate the accessToken needed to access the users data. Under normal situations you should have an http server listening on that address and pull the code from the URL query parameters. You can now use the client to generate the authorization URL the user needs to navigate to. This URL will take the user to a page that will prompt them to allow your application to access their data. The state string returned by the method is a randomly generated BASE64 string using the crypto/rand module. It will be returned in the redirect as a query parameter and the two values verified they match. It's not required, but useful for security reasons. Using the code returned by the redirect in the query parameters, you can generate a new user. This user struct can be used to immediately perform actions against the users data. It also contains the token you should save somewhere for reuse. Obviously use whatever context you would like here. Make sure the save at least the refreshToken for accessing the user data at a later date. You may also save the accessToken, but it does expire and creating a new client from saved token data only requires the refreshToken. You can easily create a user from a saved token using the NewUserFromRefreshToken method. A working configured client is required for the user generated from this method to work. The user struct has various methods associated with each API endpoint to perform data retrieval. The methods take a specific param struct specifying the api options to use on the request. The API is a bit "special" so the params vary a bit between each method. The client does what it can to smooth those out but there is only so much that can be done. Every method has two forms, one that accepts a context and one that does now. This allows you to provide a context on each request if you would like to. By default all methods utilize a context to timeout the request to the API. The value of the timeout is stored on the Client and can be access as/set on Client.Timeout. Setting is _not_ thread safe and should only be set on client creation. If you need to change the timeout for different requests use the methodCtx variant of the method. By default the state generated by the AuthCodeURL utilized crypto/rand. If you would like to implement your own random method you can do so by assigning the function to Rand field of the Client struct. The function should support the Rand type. Also this is _not_ thread safe so only perform this action on client creation. By default every returned response will be parsed and the parsed data returned. If you need access to the raw request data you can enable it by setting the SaveRawResponse field of the client struct to true. This should be done at client creation time. With it set to true the RawResponse field of the returned structs will include the raw response. Some data request methods include a parseResponse field on the params struct. If this is included additional parsing is performed to make the data more usable. This can be seen on GetBodyMeasures for example. You can include the path fields sent to the API by setting IncludePath to true on the client. This is primarily used for debugging but could be helpful in some situations. By default the client will request all known scopes. If you would like to pair down this you can change the scope by using the SetScope method of the client. Consts in the form of ScopeXxx are provided to aid selection.
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. 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 "".

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 wire9 provides a boilerplate protocol generator. Wire9 parses wire definitions from a go package or source file. It generates structs and methods according to the given definition. To use wire9, run the standalone command line program on a go package directory containing wire definitions. Wire Definitions: A wire definition begins with a slash comment and wire9 prefix. There is no space between the slashes and prefix. The prefix is followed by a struct name and a variadic list of fields. A field becomes the name of a struct field. Next, a [bracket-enclosed], comma-seperated list of field options: width, type, and endian. Width is a field's binary width. Its value is an integer constant, a previously-defined numeric field, or empty. Types specify a field's type. This affects the type value in the final struct field, numeric and fixed types may have empty widths. Endian specifies byte-order (LE or BE), which stand for Little-Endian and Big-Endian. Little-Endian is the default value. The width and type are interpreted one of three ways depending on other values in the field options: Width is a numeric literal A. Type is empty: If width is 1, 2, 4, or 8, type is byte, uint16, uint32, and uint64, respectively. Otherwise type is []byte. B. Type is identifier: The type represents a fixed width struct, numeric value, or slice type. The width must match the fixed types binary width or be the number of expected slice elements. Width is identifier A. Type is empty: Type is implicitly []byte. The width represents the number of bytes to expect in the slice. B. Type is identifier: The type represents a slice type. The width is the number of expected elements in the slice. Width is empty A. Type is a fixed-width struct, number, or implements the Wire interface. Examples: //wire9 Ex1A Time[8] IP[4] Port[2] n[1] //wire9 Ex1B Time[8,uint64] IP[4,uint32] Port[2,uint16] n[1,byte] //wire9 Ex2A n[1] URL[n] //wire9 Ex2B n[1] URL[n,[]byte] //wire9 Ex3A p[,image.Point] size[,int64] reply[,Ex2A] //wire9 Git index[4,,BE] ... Example: The wire definition for a two-byte length-prefixed string: Generates the following struct and (fully-implemented) methods: This example defines four common length-prefixed strings The following construction builds on the last example. The value of the four 4-byte integers set the expected number of slice elements for each corresponding length-prefixed string. Trivia: The goal of this package is to save time when implementing custom protocols, such as Microsoft RDP. The package's original purpose was to take the Plan 9 draw(3) manual page and generate Go for parsing the messages written to the data file.
Package dataurl parses Data URL Schemes according to RFC 2397 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397). Data URLs are small chunks of data commonly used in browsers to display inline data, typically like small images, or when you use the FileReader API of the browser. A dataurl looks like: Or, with base64 encoding: Common functions are Decode and DecodeString to obtain a DataURL, and DataURL.String() and DataURL.WriteTo to generate a Data URL string.
Tool for decoding an HTTP request into a struct. Transparently supports different content types / encoding formats (JSON, URL-encoded form, multipart form). Transparently supports different request methods; for read-only methods such as GET parses inputs from the URL; for non-read-only methods parses inputs ONLY from the body. For URL-encoded and multipart forms, uses "github.com/mitranim/untext" to decode strings into Go values. For JSON, uses "encoding/json". Example:
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. 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 all the other specified fields are equal to the value following the specified field. For strings ensures value is not "".

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 config provides types and functions for managing application configuration. A set of command-line flags or environment variables to parse can be inferred from a struct's type. The values are then subject to validation and assigned to the struct fields. The easiest way to use the package is to define a struct type and pass it to Configure. Struct tags can be used to control how fields are scanned or validated. If the program was given the -h flag, the following help would be written to stderr: Running the program with no command line flags and none of the environment variables set would output: Note that the entire Auth field is left as nil; nil pointers are only set if a value is configured for the field. Running the program again with flags provides the following: Finally, some of the values have validation tags for their struct fields. If the validations are not met, an error is given: The following types are supported by the package: In addition, any types derived from pointers and slices to those types are also supported. bool, float, int and uint values are parsed by strconv.ParseBool, strconv.ParseFloat, strconv.ParseInt and strconv.ParseUint. Trying to set a value that would overflow the type results in an error. net.IP values are parsed using net.ParseIP. net.IPNet values are parsed using net.ParseCIDR. url.URL values are parsed using url.Parse. time.Duration values are parsed using time.ParseDuration. time.Time values will be parsed using the following layouts until one is succesful or all have been tried: Additional types can be supported either by implementing the Setter API on that type, or by implementing and registering a SetterCreator for that type. The latter option will enable the package to automatically wrap derived pointer and struct types. Struct tags can be used to impose validation on parsed values. `min:"x"` or `ge:"x"` sets a minimum value for int, float, uint, time.Duration and time.Time values. The value must be appropriate for the type, and is parsed the same as values of that type. For example indicates that the Timeout value must be greater than or equal to 30 seconds. `max:"x"“ or `le:"x"` indicates a maximum value for the above types. Similarly, `gt:"x"` or `lt:"x"` will require values greater than or less than the values specified. Values can be combined to set ranges. Note, however, that it's possible to set impossible validations this way, e.g., `gt:"10" lt:"5"`. `regexp:"x"` sets a regular expression for validating string values. A match can occur anywhere in the string. To match the whole string, anchor the expression with "^$". Also note that the value in the struct tag will be subject to string unquoting; backslashes and double-quotes must be escaped with a backslash. `scheme:"x"`, `host:"x"` or `path:"x"` tags can be applied to url.URL values. They specify regular expressions that are used to validate the corresponding parts of the URL. The `is:"x"` tag can be used to specify required or disallowed classes of IP addresses for the net.IP or net.IPNet types. Valid values are: The class name can be prefixed with an exclamation point to indicate that the class is disallowed. Multiple values can be combined by separating with commas. For example, `is:"!loopback,!link local unicast"` would allow addresses that are neither loopback nor link local unicast. If any disallowed class is matched, the validation will fail. The allowed classes are matched in an "or" fashion, however, and any one match will cause the validation to succeed. The `net:"x"` tag can be used with net.IP or net.IPNet values to specify required or disallowed networks. Networks are specified in address/bits form, e.g., 169.254.0.0/16 or 2001:cdba:9abc:5678::/64. Disallowed networks are specified by prefixing with an exclamation point. Multiple values can be combined by separating with commas. The semantics are the same as for the 'is' tag: A match for any disallowed value fails validation; a match for any single allowed value causes validation to succeed. The `version:"4"` or `version:"6"` tags can be used with net.IP and net.IPNet values to specify that the value must be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. `config:"X"` can be used to override the name of a struct field, instead of using the reflected name. The name will still be subjected to parsing with SplitName. Setting `config:"-"` will cause the struct field to be skipped, i.e., it will not be scanned or configured. `prefix:"X"` can be used to override how nested structs are handled. If no prefix is set, the child struct uses the name of its field in the parent struct. If a name is given, that name will be used to group settings in the child struct. (`config:"X"` can be used for the same purpose.) If `prefix:"-"` is given, the child struct will use the same prefix as its parent, and names parsed from the child's fields will be added to the parent's level as if the fields had been parsed from the parent. For example: will result in command line flags being generated for -timeout, -user and -pass. Without the prefix tag, the names would have been -auth-user and -auth-pass. `from:"X"` will cause the value to only be configured by the named loaders. For example will only let the Interactive value be set from a command line flag. `append:"false"` or `append:"true"` (the default) can be used with slice types. When true, values are appended to existing values in a slice. When false, setting a new value will cause the slice to be overwritten. (Setting multiple values will still result in second and subsequent values being appended after the first new value). `sep:"X" can be used with slice types. It indicates a string on which the value should be split on in order to populate a slice.

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 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:
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.

For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: Since **vX.Y.Z**, mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router(https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/mux#Router), which are executed if a match is found (including subrouters). Middlewares are defined using the de facto standard type: 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.

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).

This can be used to abort a request if the middleware writer wants to.
Package config provides types and functions for managing application configuration. A set of command-line flags or environment variables to parse can be inferred from a struct's type. The values are then subject to validation and assigned to the struct fields. The easiest way to use the package is to define a struct type and pass it to Configure. Struct tags can be used to control how fields are scanned or validated. If the program was given the -h flag, the following help would be written to stderr: Running the program with no command line flags and none of the environment variables set would output: Note that the entire Auth field is left as nil; nil pointers are only set if a value is configured for the field. Running the program again with flags provides the following: Finally, some of the values have validation tags for their struct fields. If the validations are not met, an error is given: The following types are supported by the package: In addition, any types derived from pointers and slices to those types are also supported. bool, float, int and uint values are parsed by strconv.ParseBool, strconv.ParseFloat, strconv.ParseInt and strconv.ParseUint. Trying to set a value that would overflow the type results in an error. net.IP values are parsed using net.ParseIP. net.IPNet values are parsed using net.ParseCIDR. url.URL values are parsed using url.Parse. time.Duration values are parsed using time.ParseDuration. time.Time values will be parsed using the following layouts until one is succesful or all have been tried: Additional types can be supported either by implementing the Setter API on that type, or by implementing and registering a SetterCreator for that type. The latter option will enable the package to automatically wrap derived pointer and struct types. Struct tags can be used to impose validation on parsed values. `min:"x"` or `ge:"x"` sets a minimum value for int, float, uint, time.Duration and time.Time values. The value must be appropriate for the type, and is parsed the same as values of that type. For example indicates that the Timeout value must be greater than or equal to 30 seconds. `max:"x"“ or `le:"x"` indicates a maximum value for the above types. Similarly, `gt:"x"` or `lt:"x"` will require values greater than or less than the values specified. Values can be combined to set ranges. Note, however, that it's possible to set impossible validations this way, e.g., `gt:"10" lt:"5"`. `regexp:"x"` sets a regular expression for validating string values. A match can occur anywhere in the string. To match the whole string, anchor the expression with "^$". Also note that the value in the struct tag will be subject to string unquoting; backslashes and double-quotes must be escaped with a backslash. `scheme:"x"`, `host:"x"` or `path:"x"` tags can be applied to url.URL values. They specify regular expressions that are used to validate the corresponding parts of the URL. The `is:"x"` tag can be used to specify required or disallowed classes of IP addresses for the net.IP or net.IPNet types. Valid values are: The class name can be prefixed with an exclamation point to indicate that the class is disallowed. Multiple values can be combined by separating with commas. For example, `is:"!loopback,!link local unicast"` would allow addresses that are neither loopback nor link local unicast. If any disallowed class is matched, the validation will fail. The allowed classes are matched in an "or" fashion, however, and any one match will cause the validation to succeed. The `net:"x"` tag can be used with net.IP or net.IPNet values to specify required or disallowed networks. Networks are specified in address/bits form, e.g., 169.254.0.0/16 or 2001:cdba:9abc:5678::/64. Disallowed networks are specified by prefixing with an exclamation point. Multiple values can be combined by separating with commas. The semantics are the same as for the 'is' tag: A match for any disallowed value fails validation; a match for any single allowed value causes validation to succeed. The `version:"4"` or `version:"6"` tags can be used with net.IP and net.IPNet values to specify that the value must be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. `config:"X"` can be used to override the name of a struct field, instead of using the reflected name. The name will still be subjected to parsing with SplitName. Setting `config:"-"` will cause the struct field to be skipped, i.e., it will not be scanned or configured. `prefix:"X"` can be used to override how nested structs are handled. If no prefix is set, the child struct uses the name of its field in the parent struct. If a name is given, that name will be used to group settings in the child struct. (`config:"X"` can be used for the same purpose.) If `prefix:"-"` is given, the child struct will use the same prefix as its parent, and names parsed from the child's fields will be added to the parent's level as if the fields had been parsed from the parent. For example: will result in command line flags being generated for -timeout, -user and -pass. Without the prefix tag, the names would have been -auth-user and -auth-pass. `from:"X"` will cause the value to only be configured by the named loaders. For example will only let the Interactive value be set from a command line flag. `append:"false"` or `append:"true"` (the default) can be used with slice types. When true, values are appended to existing values in a slice. When false, setting a new value will cause the slice to be overwritten. (Setting multiple values will still result in second and subsequent values being appended after the first new value). `sep:"X" can be used with slice types. It indicates a string on which the value should be split on in order to populate a slice.
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. 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 all the other specified fields are equal to the value following the specified field. For strings ensures value is not "".

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. 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 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. 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 less than time.Now.UTC().

Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). Example #3 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, lte will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the duration given in the parameter. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Example #1: Example #2: Field Equals Another Field (relative) This does the same as eqfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Examples: Field Does Not Equal Another Field (relative) This does the same as nefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers, time.Duration and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct.

This does the same as contains except for struct fields. It should only be used with string types. See the behavior of reflect.Value.String() for behavior on other types. This does the same as excludes except for struct fields. It should only be used with string types. See the behavior of reflect.Value.String() for behavior on other types. For arrays & slices, unique will ensure that there are no duplicates. For maps, unique will ensure that there are no duplicate values.

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/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. 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 "".

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 dvr attempts to make testing far easier by allowing calls to remote HTTP services to be captured and replayed when running the tests a second time. In recording mode (-dvr.record) each request will be captured and recorded to a file (-dvr.file, which defaults to testdata/archive.dvr). In replay mode each request will be matched against of the requests in the archive. This ensures that a unit test can remove all dependencies on remote services while running, which is ideal for most testing environments. Note that this library works be replaying net.http's DefaultTransport with one that will intercept queries. If you are using a custom client, or replacing the http.DefaultTransport you may need to sub a RoundTripper from this package in place. All common error types will be preserved and returned via the archive, however some types can not be restored due to the way that gob works. In these cases an error will be returned that satisfies the error interface but it will be a different type. When in replay mode requests are matched if all of the following are the same: URL, Body, Headers, Trailers. If all of these elements are the same as a recorded request then the response will be returned to the client. If no request matches then the test will panic since re-requesting may cause all sorts of issues. If this matching strategy is not sufficient then you can make value Match() contain a function that can parse two requests and establish if they are the same. This library is intended to be user during unit testing so much of its design is wrapped around this, and while it can be used outside of unit tests it is strongly not recommended. For the most basic of use cases you need only ensure that the dvr library is included in your test file. Including it with an underscore, like in this example, is all that is necessary to get it in place.
Package gobotto offers a simple library for fetching, parsing and checking permissions against `robots.txt` files. Gobotto has the following methods: This is how the whole proccess of checking if an agent is allowed to crawl a certain URL works:
Package dataurl parses Data URL Schemes according to RFC 2397 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397). Data URLs are small chunks of data commonly used in browsers to display inline data, typically like small images, or when you use the FileReader API of the browser. A dataurl looks like: Or, with base64 encoding: Common functions are Decode and DecodeString to obtain a DataURL, and DataURL.String() and DataURL.WriteTo to generate a Data URL string.
Package vcsurl parses VCS repository URLs in many common formats.
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.
govalid generates validation code for maps of strings to strings to marshal the data into well-typed structures. Command-line invocation is as follows. If no input file is specified as a positional argument, govalid reads from standard in. If no output file is specified and reading from standard in, output will be written to standard out. Otherwise, output will be written to the a path generated by replacing the input path extension with ".go". The generated code abides by gofmt. It leverages strconv.Parse, net/mail.ParseAddress, and net/url.Parse. govalid is meant to be used with go generate. In your project, you write .v files, which are valid Go files that define structure types into which you want to marshal input data. Here is an example of a .v file. Given this input file, govalid will generate the following Go file. Look at all that code you didn't have to write. govalid is meant to help you avoid having to write such boilerplate data validation code. Note that any fields not mentioned in the input structure will be ignored. Supported Types You are responsible for importing net/mail or net/url in your .v file yourself if using a mail address or URL. The generated validation code for ints and uints uses a base of 0, so input strings may be in any base represented by the strconv.ParseInt or strconv.ParseUint functions. For example, a hexadecimal value would be parsed by passing in "0xbeef" or "48879". You may tag your struct fields to activate extra validation logic. Use the tag key "valid". Three tags are supported. If "def" is unaccompanied by a value, the field is optional, and the default is the zero value given by the field's type. If provided, it is injected directly into the generated code. max and min do not apply to bools. On numeric types, max and min can be used to bound the value. Like the default value, the bounds you specify in the tag will be injected directly into the generated code. For strings, URLs and email addresses, the bounds apply to the length of the input data string. If your structure name indicates it is to be (un)exported, then the validation function will also be (un)exported. For example, in the above sample, the validation function was unexported. But if we had written out instead, then our validation function would have had the following signature.
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. 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 all the other specified fields are equal to the value following the specified field. For strings ensures value is not "".

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. 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 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.

Example #3 (time.Duration) For time.Duration, lte will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the duration given in the parameter. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Example #1: Example #2: Field Equals Another Field (relative) This does the same as eqfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field.

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.

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.

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 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/*".

Package autorest implements an HTTP request pipeline suitable for use across multiple go-routines and provides the shared routines relied on by AutoRest (see https://github.com/Azure/autorest/) generated Go code. The package breaks sending and responding to HTTP requests into three phases: Preparing, Sending, and Responding. A typical pattern is: Each phase relies on decorators to modify and / or manage processing. Decorators may first modify and then pass the data along, pass the data first and then modify the result, or wrap themselves around passing the data (such as a logger might do). Decorators run in the order provided. For example, the following: will set the URL to: Preparers and Responders may be shared and re-used (assuming the underlying decorators support sharing and re-use). Performant use is obtained by creating one or more Preparers and Responders shared among multiple go-routines, and a single Sender shared among multiple sending go-routines, all bound together by means of input / output channels. Decorators hold their passed state within a closure (such as the path components in the example above). Be careful to share Preparers and Responders only in a context where such held state applies. For example, it may not make sense to share a Preparer that applies a query string from a fixed set of values. Similarly, sharing a Responder that reads the response body into a passed struct (e.g., ByUnmarshallingJson) is likely incorrect. Lastly, the Swagger specification (https://swagger.io) that drives AutoRest (https://github.com/Azure/autorest/) precisely defines two date forms: date and date-time. The github.com/Azure/go-autorest/autorest/date package provides time.Time derivations to ensure correct parsing and formatting. Errors raised by autorest objects and methods will conform to the autorest.Error interface. See the included examples for more detail. For details on the suggested use of this package by generated clients, see the Client described below.

Package routes a simple http routing API for the Go programming language, compatible with the standard http.ListenAndServe function. Create a new route multiplexer: Define a simple route with a given method (ie Get, Put, Post ...), path and http.HandleFunc. Define a route with restful parameters in the path: The parameters are parsed from the URL, and appended to the Request URL's query parameters. More control over the route's parameter matching is possible by providing a custom regular expression: To start the web server, use the standard http.ListenAndServe function, and provide the route multiplexer:

Package gosnowflake is a pure Go Snowflake driver for the database/sql package. Clients can use the database/sql package directly. For example: Use Open to create a database handle with connection parameters: The Go Snowflake Driver supports the following connection syntaxes (or data source name formats): where all parameters must be escaped or use `Config` and `DSN` to construct a DSN string. The following example opens a database handle with the Snowflake account myaccount where the username is jsmith, password is mypassword, database is mydb, schema is testschema, and warehouse is mywh: The following connection parameters are supported: account <string>: Specifies the name of your Snowflake account, where string is the name assigned to your account by Snowflake. In the URL you received from Snowflake, your account name is the first segment in the domain (e.g. abc123 in https://abc123.snowflakecomputing.com). This parameter is optional if your account is specified after the @ character. If you are not on us-west-2 region or AWS deployment, then append the region after the account name, e.g. “<account>.<region>”. If you are not on AWS deployment, then append not only the region, but also the platform, e.g., “<account>.<region>.<platform>”. Account, region, and platform should be separated by a period (“.”), as shown above. If you are using a global url, then append connection group and "global", e.g., "account-<connection_group>.global". Account and connection group are separated by a dash ("-"), as shown above. region <string>: DEPRECATED. You may specify a region, such as “eu-central-1”, with this parameter. However, since this parameter is deprecated, it is best to specify the region as part of the account parameter. For details, see the description of the account parameter. database: Specifies the database to use by default in the client session (can be changed after login). schema: Specifies the database schema to use by default in the client session (can be changed after login). warehouse: Specifies the virtual warehouse to use by default for queries, loading, etc. in the client session (can be changed after login). role: Specifies the role to use by default for accessing Snowflake objects in the client session (can be changed after login). passcode: Specifies the passcode provided by Duo when using MFA for login. passcodeInPassword: false by default. Set to true if the MFA passcode is embedded in the login password. Appends the MFA passcode to the end of the password. loginTimeout: Specifies the timeout, in seconds, for login. The default is 60 seconds. The login request gives up after the timeout length if the HTTP response is success. authenticator: Specifies the authenticator to use for authenticating user credentials: To use the internal Snowflake authenticator, specify snowflake (Default). To authenticate through Okta, specify https://<okta_account_name>.okta.com (URL prefix for Okta). To authenticate using your IDP via a browser, specify externalbrowser. To authenticate via OAuth, specify oauth and provide an OAuth Access Token (see the token parameter below). application: Identifies your application to Snowflake Support. insecureMode: false by default. Set to true to bypass the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) certificate revocation check. IMPORTANT: Change the default value for testing or emergency situations only. token: a token that can be used to authenticate. Should be used in conjunction with the "oauth" authenticator. client_session_keep_alive: Set to true have a heartbeat in the background every hour to keep the connection alive such that the connection session will never expire. Care should be taken in using this option as it opens up the access forever as long as the process is alive. ocspFailOpen: true by default. Set to false to make OCSP check fail closed mode. validateDefaultParameters: true by default. Set to false to disable checks on existence and privileges check for Database, Schema, Warehouse and Role when setting up the connection All other parameters are taken as session parameters. For example, TIMESTAMP_OUTPUT_FORMAT session parameter can be set by adding: The Go Snowflake Driver honors the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY for the forward proxy setting. NO_PROXY specifies which hostname endings should be allowed to bypass the proxy server, e.g. :code:`no_proxy=.amazonaws.com` means that AWS S3 access does not need to go through the proxy. NO_PROXY does not support wildcards. Each value specified should be one of the following: The end of a hostname (or a complete hostname), for example: ".amazonaws.com" or "xy12345.snowflakecomputing.com". An IP address, for example "192.196.1.15". If more than one value is specified, values should be separated by commas, for example: By default, the driver's builtin logger is NOP; no output is generated. This is intentional for those applications that use the same set of logger parameters not to conflict with glog, which is incorporated in the driver logging framework. In order to enable debug logging for the driver, add a build tag sfdebug to the go tool command lines, for example: For tests, run the test command with the tag along with glog parameters. For example, the following command will generate all acitivty logs in the standard error. Likewise, if you build your application with the tag, you may specify the same set of glog parameters. To get the logs for a specific module, use the -vmodule option. For example, to retrieve the driver.go and connection.go module logs: Note: If your request retrieves no logs, call db.Close() or glog.flush() to flush the glog buffer. Note: The logger may be changed in the future for better logging. Currently if the applications use the same parameters as glog, you cannot collect both application and driver logs at the same time. From 0.5.0, a signal handling responsibility has moved to the applications. If you want to cancel a query/command by Ctrl+C, add a os.Interrupt trap in context to execute methods that can take the context parameter, e.g., QueryContext, ExecContext. See cmd/selectmany.go for the full example. Queries return SQL column type information in the ColumnType type. The DatabaseTypeName method returns the following strings representing Snowflake data types: Go's database/sql package limits Go's data types to the following for binding and fetching: Fetching data isn't an issue since the database data type is provided along with the data so the Go Snowflake Driver can translate Snowflake data types to Go native data types. When the client binds data to send to the server, however, the driver cannot determine the date/timestamp data types to associate with binding parameters. For example: To resolve this issue, a binding parameter flag is introduced that associates any subsequent time.Time type to the DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP_LTZ, TIMESTAMP_NTZ or BINARY data type. The above example could be rewritten as follows: The driver fetches TIMESTAMP_TZ (timestamp with time zone) data using the offset-based Location types, which represent a collection of time offsets in use in a geographical area, such as CET (Central European Time) or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The offset-based Location data is generated and cached when a Go Snowflake Driver application starts, and if the given offset is not in the cache, it is generated dynamically. Currently, Snowflake doesn't support the name-based Location types, e.g., America/Los_Angeles. For more information about Location types, see the Go documentation for https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Location. Internally, this feature leverages the []byte data type. As a result, BINARY data cannot be bound without the binding parameter flag. In the following example, sf is an alias for the gosnowflake package: The driver directly downloads a result set from the cloud storage if the size is large. It is required to shift workloads from the Snowflake database to the clients for scale. The download takes place by goroutine named "Chunk Downloader" asynchronously so that the driver can fetch the next result set while the application can consume the current result set. The application may change the number of result set chunk downloader if required. Note this doesn't help reduce memory footprint by itself. Consider Custom JSON Decoder. Experimental: Custom JSON Decoder for parsing Result Set The application may have the driver use a custom JSON decoder that incrementally parses the result set as follows. This option will reduce the memory footprint to half or even quarter, but it can significantly degrade the performance depending on the environment. The test cases running on Travis Ubuntu box show five times less memory footprint while four times slower. Be cautious when using the option. (Private Preview) JWT authentication ** Not recommended for production use until GA Now JWT token is supported when compiling with a golang version of 1.10 or higher. Binary compiled with lower version of golang would return an error at runtime when users try to use JWT authentication feature. To enable this feature, one can construct DSN with fields "authenticator=SNOWFLAKE_JWT&privateKey=<your_private_key>", or using Config structure specifying: The <your_private_key> should be a base64 URL encoded PKCS8 rsa private key string. One way to encode a byte slice to URL base 64 URL format is through base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString() function. On the server side, one can alter the public key with the SQL command: The <your_public_key> should be a base64 Standard encoded PKI public key string. One way to encode a byte slice to base 64 Standard format is through base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString() function. To generate the valid key pair, one can do the following command on the shell script: GET and PUT operations are unsupported.
Package fastimage allows you to find the type and/or size of a remote image by downloading as little as possible. Why? Sometimes you need to know the size of a remote image before downloading it. How? fastimage parses the image data as it is downloaded. As soon as it finds out the size and type of the image, it stops the download. This example shows basic usage of the package: just pass an url to the detector, and analyze the results.
package forms is a lightweight, but incredibly useful library for parsing form data from an http.Request. It supports multipart forms, url-encoded forms, json data, and url query parameters. It also provides helper methods for converting data into other types and a Validator object which can be used to validate the data. Forms is framework-agnostic and works directly with the http package. For the full source code, example usage, and more, visit https://github.com/albrow/forms. Version 0.4.0
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.
