Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialzied. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>" This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]" These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the "attributes" hash for that record. The following extra arguments are also supported: "omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value. Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>" Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record. Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads. Visit the readme at https://github.com/google/jsonapi
Package sessions provides cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for custom session backends. The key features are: Let's start with an example that shows the sessions API in a nutshell: First we initialize a session store calling NewCookieStore() and passing a secret key used to authenticate the session. Inside the handler, we call store.Get() to retrieve an existing session or a new one. Then we set some session values in session.Values, which is a map[interface{}]interface{}. And finally we call session.Save() to save the session in the response. Note that in production code, we should check for errors when calling session.Save(r, w), and either display an error message or otherwise handle it. Save must be called before writing to the response, otherwise the session cookie will not be sent to the client. Important Note: If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers with context.ClearHandler as or else you will leak memory! An easy way to do this is to wrap the top-level mux when calling http.ListenAndServe: The ClearHandler function is provided by the gorilla/context package. That's all you need to know for the basic usage. Let's take a look at other options, starting with flash messages. Flash messages are session values that last until read. The term appeared with Ruby On Rails a few years back. When we request a flash message, it is removed from the session. To add a flash, call session.AddFlash(), and to get all flashes, call session.Flashes(). Here is an example: Flash messages are useful to set information to be read after a redirection, like after form submissions. There may also be cases where you want to store a complex datatype within a session, such as a struct. Sessions are serialised using the encoding/gob package, so it is easy to register new datatypes for storage in sessions: As it's not possible to pass a raw type as a parameter to a function, gob.Register() relies on us passing it a value of the desired type. In the example above we've passed it a pointer to a struct and a pointer to a custom type representing a map[string]interface. (We could have passed non-pointer values if we wished.) This will then allow us to serialise/deserialise values of those types to and from our sessions. Note that because session values are stored in a map[string]interface{}, there's a need to type-assert data when retrieving it. We'll use the Person struct we registered above: By default, session cookies last for a month. This is probably too long for some cases, but it is easy to change this and other attributes during runtime. Sessions can be configured individually or the store can be configured and then all sessions saved using it will use that configuration. We access session.Options or store.Options to set a new configuration. The fields are basically a subset of http.Cookie fields. Let's change the maximum age of a session to one week: Sometimes we may want to change authentication and/or encryption keys without breaking existing sessions. The CookieStore supports key rotation, and to use it you just need to set multiple authentication and encryption keys, in pairs, to be tested in order: New sessions will be saved using the first pair. Old sessions can still be read because the first pair will fail, and the second will be tested. This makes it easy to "rotate" secret keys and still be able to validate existing sessions. Note: for all pairs the encryption key is optional; set it to nil or omit it and and encryption won't be used. Multiple sessions can be used in the same request, even with different session backends. When this happens, calling Save() on each session individually would be cumbersome, so we have a way to save all sessions at once: it's sessions.Save(). Here's an example: This is possible because when we call Get() from a session store, it adds the session to a common registry. Save() uses it to save all registered sessions.
Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 11.1.1 The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.11.1 and above is highly recommended. Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advantage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context. Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet. At the same time, iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, We call them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s). Standard macro types for parameters: if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}. If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e: Besides the fact that iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!. Register a named path parameter function: at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool. Example Code: Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good. Run Static Files Example code: More examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/beginner/file-server Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route. Example code: iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler. Example code: Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context/context#ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`. All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more. Example code: View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/shuLhan/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func. Example code: A real example can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/view/embedding-templates-into-app. Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit. Example code: Note: In case you're wondering, the code behind the view engines derives from the "github.com/kataras/iris/view" package, access to the engines' variables can be granded by "github.com/kataras/iris" package too. Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/view . This example will show how to store and access data from a session. You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not. In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message. Example code: Running the example: Sessions persistence can be achieved using one (or more) `sessiondb`. Example Code: More examples: In this example we will create a small chat between web sockets via browser. Example Server Code: Example Client(javascript) Code: Running the example: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: // GetUserBy serves // Method: GET // Resource: http://localhost:8080/user/{username:string} // By is a reserved "keyword" to tell the framework that you're going to // bind path parameters in the function's input arguments, and it also // helps to have "Get" and "GetBy" in the same controller. // // func (c *ExampleController) GetUserBy(username string) mvc.Result { // return mvc.View{ // Name: "user/username.html", // Data: username, // } // } Can use more than one, the factory will make sure that the correct http methods are being registered for each route for this controller, uncomment these if you want: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller. Register custom controller's struct's methods as handlers with custom paths(even with regex parametermized path) via the `BeforeActivation` custom event callback, per-controller. Example: Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) by defining services to the Dependencies or have a `Singleton` controller scope. Share the dependencies between controllers or register them on a parent MVC Application, and ability to modify dependencies per-controller on the `BeforeActivation` optional event callback inside a Controller, i.e Access to the `Context` as a controller's field(no manual binding is neede) i.e `Ctx iris.Context` or via a method's input argument, i.e Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View). You can return models from a controller's method or set a field in the request lifecycle and return that field to another method, in the same request lifecycle. Flow as you used to, mvc application has its own `Router` which is a type of `iris/router.Party`, the standard iris api. `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Session dynamic dependency via manager's `Start` to the MVC Application, i.e Inheritance, recursively. Access to the dynamic path parameters via the controller's methods' input arguments, no binding is needed. When you use the Iris' default syntax to parse handlers from a controller, you need to suffix the methods with the `By` word, uppercase is a new sub path. Example: Register one or more relative paths and able to get path parameters, i.e Response via output arguments, optionally, i.e Where `any` means everything, from custom structs to standard language's types-. `Result` is an interface which contains only that function: Dispatch(ctx iris.Context) and Get where HTTP Method function(Post, Put, Delete...). Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. Examples with good patterns to follow but not intend to be used in production of course can be found at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/#mvc. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user. If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller. But you should have a basic idea of the framework by now, we just scratched the surface. If you enjoy what you just saw and want to learn more, please follow the below links: Examples: Middleware: Home Page: Book (in-progress):
Package telnet provides TELNET and TELNETS client and server implementations in a style similar to the "net/http" library that is part of the Go standard library, including support for "middleware"; TELNETS is secure TELNET, with the TELNET protocol over a secured TLS (or SSL) connection. ListenAndServe starts a (un-secure) TELNET server with a given address and handler. ListenAndServeTLS starts a (secure) TELNETS server with a given address and handler, using the specified "cert.pem" and "key.pem" files. Example TELNET Client: DialToAndCall creates a (un-secure) TELNET client, which connects to a given address using the specified caller. Example TELNETS Client: DialToAndCallTLS creates a (secure) TELNETS client, which connects to a given address using the specified caller. If you are communicating over the open Internet, you should be using (the secure) TELNETS protocol and ListenAndServeTLS. If you are communicating just on localhost, then using just (the un-secure) TELNET protocol and telnet.ListenAndServe may be OK. If you are not sure which to use, use TELNETS and ListenAndServeTLS. The previous 2 exaple servers were very very simple. Specifically, they just echoed back whatever you submitted to it. If you typed: ... it would send back: (Exactly the same data you sent it.) A more useful TELNET server can be made using the "github.com/reiver/go-telnet/telsh" sub-package. The `telsh` sub-package provides "middleware" that enables you to create a "shell" interface (also called a "command line interface" or "CLI") which most people would expect when using TELNET OR TELNETS. For example: Note that in the example, so far, we have registered 2 commands: `date` and `animate`. For this to actually work, we need to have code for the `date` and `animate` commands. The actual implemenation for the `date` command could be done like the following: Note that your "real" work is in the `dateHandlerFunc` func. And the actual implementation for the `animate` command could be done as follows: Again, note that your "real" work is in the `animateHandlerFunc` func. If you are using the telnet.ListenAndServeTLS func or the telnet.Server.ListenAndServeTLS method, you will need to supply "cert.pem" and "key.pem" files. If you do not already have these files, the Go soure code contains a tool for generating these files for you. It can be found at: So, for example, if your `$GOROOT` is the "/usr/local/go" directory, then it would be at: If you run the command: ... then you get the help information for "generate_cert.go". Of course, you would replace or set `$GOROOT` with whatever your path actually is. Again, for example, if your `$GOROOT` is the "/usr/local/go" directory, then it would be: To demonstrate the usage of "generate_cert.go", you might run the following to generate certificates that were bound to the hosts `127.0.0.1` and `localhost`: If you are not sure where "generate_cert.go" is on your computer, on Linux and Unix based systems, you might be able to find the file with the command: (If it finds it, it should output the full path to this file.) You can make a simple (un-secure) TELNET client with code like the following: You can make a simple (secure) TELNETS client with code like the following: The TELNET protocol is best known for providing a means of connecting to a remote computer, using a (text-based) shell interface, and being able to interact with it, (more or less) as if you were sitting at that computer. (Shells are also known as command-line interfaces or CLIs.) Although this was the original usage of the TELNET protocol, it can be (and is) used for other purposes as well. The TELNET protocol came from an era in computing when text-based shell interface where the common way of interacting with computers. The common interface for computers during this era was a keyboard and a monochromatic (i.e., single color) text-based monitors called "video terminals". (The word "video" in that era of computing did not refer to things such as movies. But instead was meant to contrast it with paper. In particular, the teletype machines, which were typewriter like devices that had a keyboard, but instead of having a monitor had paper that was printed onto.) In that era, in the early days of office computers, it was rare that an individual would have a computer at their desk. (A single computer was much too expensive.) Instead, there would be a single central computer that everyone would share. The style of computer used (for the single central shared computer) was called a "mainframe". What individuals would have at their desks, instead of their own compuer, would be some type of video terminal. The different types of video terminals had named such as: • VT52 • VT100 • VT220 • VT240 ("VT" in those named was short for "video terminal".) To understand this era, we need to go back a bit in time to what came before it: teletypes. Terminal codes (also sometimes called 'terminal control codes') are used to issue various kinds of commands to the terminal. (Note that 'terminal control codes' are a completely separate concept for 'TELNET commands', and the two should NOT be conflated or confused.) The most common types of 'terminal codes' are the 'ANSI escape codes'. (Although there are other types too.) ANSI escape codes (also sometimes called 'ANSI escape sequences') are a common type of 'terminal code' used to do things such as: • moving the cursor, • erasing the display, • erasing the line, • setting the graphics mode, • setting the foregroup color, • setting the background color, • setting the screen resolution, and • setting keyboard strings. One of the abilities of ANSI escape codes is to set the foreground color. Here is a table showing codes for this: (Note that in the `[]byte` that the first `byte` is the number `27` (which is the "escape" character) where the third and fouth characters are the **not** number literals, but instead character literals `'3'` and whatever.) Another of the abilities of ANSI escape codes is to set the background color. (Note that in the `[]byte` that the first `byte` is the number `27` (which is the "escape" character) where the third and fouth characters are the **not** number literals, but instead character literals `'4'` and whatever.) In Go code, if I wanted to use an ANSI escape code to use a blue background, a white foreground, and bold, I could do that with the ANSI escape code: Note that that start with byte value 27, which we have encoded as hexadecimal as \x1b. Followed by the '[' character. Coming after that is the sub-string "44", which is the code that sets our background color to blue. We follow that with the ';' character (which separates codes). And the after that comes the sub-string "37", which is the code that set our foreground color to white. After that, we follow with another ";" character (which, again, separates codes). And then we follow it the sub-string "1", which is the code that makes things bold. And finally, the ANSI escape sequence is finished off with the 'm' character. To show this in a more complete example, our `dateHandlerFunc` from before could incorporate ANSI escape sequences as follows: Note that in that example, in addition to using the ANSI escape sequence "\x1b[44;37;1m" to set the background color to blue, set the foreground color to white, and make it bold, we also used the ANSI escape sequence "\x1b[0m" to reset the background and foreground colors and boldness back to "normal".
Package tview implements rich widgets for terminal based user interfaces. The widgets provided with this package are useful for data exploration and data entry. The package implements the following widgets: The package also provides Application which is used to poll the event queue and draw widgets on screen. The following is a very basic example showing a box with the title "Hello, world!": First, we create a box primitive with a border and a title. Then we create an application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when Ctrl-C is pressed. If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any actions performed on them. You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different widgets and how they can be used. Throughout this package, colors are specified using the tcell.Color type. Functions such as tcell.GetColor(), tcell.NewHexColor(), and tcell.NewRGBColor() can be used to create colors from W3C color names or RGB values. Almost all strings which are displayed can contain color tags. Color tags are W3C color names or six hexadecimal digits following a hash tag, wrapped in square brackets. Examples: A color tag changes the color of the characters following that color tag. This applies to almost everything from box titles, list text, form item labels, to table cells. In a TextView, this functionality has to be switched on explicitly. See the TextView documentation for more information. Color tags may contain not just the foreground (text) color but also the background color and additional flags. In fact, the full definition of a color tag is as follows: Each of the three fields can be left blank and trailing fields can be omitted. (Empty square brackets "[]", however, are not considered color tags.) Colors that are not specified will be left unchanged. A field with just a dash ("-") means "reset to default". You can specify the following flags (some flags may not be supported by your terminal): Examples: In the rare event that you want to display a string such as "[red]" or "[#00ff1a]" without applying its effect, you need to put an opening square bracket before the closing square bracket. Note that the text inside the brackets will be matched less strictly than region or colors tags. I.e. any character that may be used in color or region tags will be recognized. Examples: You can use the Escape() function to insert brackets automatically where needed. When primitives are instantiated, they are initialized with colors taken from the global Styles variable. You may change this variable to adapt the look and feel of the primitives to your preferred style. This package supports unicode characters including wide characters. Many functions in this package are not thread-safe. For many applications, this may not be an issue: If your code makes changes in response to key events, it will execute in the main goroutine and thus will not cause any race conditions. If you access your primitives from other goroutines, however, you will need to synchronize execution. The easiest way to do this is to call Application.QueueUpdate() (see its documentation for details): One exception to this is the io.Writer interface implemented by TextView. You can safely write to a TextView from any goroutine. See the TextView documentation for details. All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are therefore available for all widgets, too. All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types. The tview package is based on https://github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values). This package does not process mouse input (yet).

Then we create an application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when Ctrl-C is pressed. If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any actions performed on them. You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different widgets and how they can be used. Throughout this package, colors are specified using the tcell.Color type. Functions such as tcell.GetColor(), tcell.NewHexColor(), and tcell.NewRGBColor() can be used to create colors from W3C color names or RGB values. Almost all strings which are displayed can contain color tags. Color tags are W3C color names or six hexadecimal digits following a hash tag, wrapped in square brackets. Examples: A color tag changes the color of the characters following that color tag. This applies to almost everything from box titles, list text, form item labels, to table cells. In a TextView, this functionality has to be switched on explicitly. See the TextView documentation for more information. Color tags may contain not just the foreground (text) color but also the background color and additional flags. In fact, the full definition of a color tag is as follows: Each of the three fields can be left blank and trailing fields can be ommitted. (Empty square brackets "[]", however, are not considered color tags.) Colors that are not specified will be left unchanged. A field with just a dash ("-") means "reset to default". You can specify the following flags (some flags may not be supported by your terminal): Examples: In the rare event that you want to display a string such as "[red]" or "[#00ff1a]" without applying its effect, you need to put an opening square bracket before the closing square bracket. Note that the text inside the brackets will be matched less strictly than region or colors tags. I.e. any character that may be used in color or region tags will be recognized. Examples: You can use the Escape() function to insert brackets automatically where needed. When primitives are instantiated, they are initialized with colors taken from the global Styles variable. You may change this variable to adapt the look and feel of the primitives to your preferred style. This package supports unicode characters including wide characters. All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are therefore available for all widgets, too. All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types. The tview package is based on https://github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values). This package does not process mouse input (yet).
Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 10.5.0 The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.9 is highly recommended. Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advantage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context. Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet. At the same time, iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, We call them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s). Standard macro types for parameters: if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}. If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e: Besides the fact that iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!. Register a named path parameter function: at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool. Example Code: A path parameter name should contain only alphabetical letters, symbols, containing '_' and numbers are NOT allowed. If route failed to be registered, the app will panic without any warnings if you didn't catch the second return value(error) on .Handle/.Get.... Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good. Run Static Files Example code: More examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/beginner/file-server Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route. Example code: iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler. Example code: Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context/context#ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`. All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more. Example code: View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/shuLhan/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func. Example code: A real example can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/view/embedding-templates-into-app. Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit. Example code: Note: In case you're wondering, the code behind the view engines derives from the "github.com/kataras/iris/view" package, access to the engines' variables can be granded by "github.com/kataras/iris" package too. Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/view . This example will show how to store and access data from a session. You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not. In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message. Example code: Running the example: Sessions persistence can be achieved using one (or more) `sessiondb`. Example Code: More examples: In this example we will create a small chat between web sockets via browser. Example Server Code: Example Client(javascript) Code: Running the example: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: // GetUserBy serves // Method: GET // Resource: http://localhost:8080/user/{username:string} // By is a reserved "keyword" to tell the framework that you're going to // bind path parameters in the function's input arguments, and it also // helps to have "Get" and "GetBy" in the same controller. // // func (c *ExampleController) GetUserBy(username string) mvc.Result { // return mvc.View{ // Name: "user/username.html", // Data: username, // } // } Can use more than one, the factory will make sure that the correct http methods are being registered for each route for this controller, uncomment these if you want: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller. Register custom controller's struct's methods as handlers with custom paths(even with regex parametermized path) via the `BeforeActivation` custom event callback, per-controller. Example: Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) by defining services to the Dependencies or have a `Singleton` controller scope. Share the dependencies between controllers or register them on a parent MVC Application, and ability to modify dependencies per-controller on the `BeforeActivation` optional event callback inside a Controller, i.e Access to the `Context` as a controller's field(no manual binding is neede) i.e `Ctx iris.Context` or via a method's input argument, i.e Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View). You can return models from a controller's method or set a field in the request lifecycle and return that field to another method, in the same request lifecycle. Flow as you used to, mvc application has its own `Router` which is a type of `iris/router.Party`, the standard iris api. `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Session dynamic dependency via manager's `Start` to the MVC Application, i.e Inheritance, recursively. Access to the dynamic path parameters via the controller's methods' input arguments, no binding is needed. When you use the Iris' default syntax to parse handlers from a controller, you need to suffix the methods with the `By` word, uppercase is a new sub path. Example: Register one or more relative paths and able to get path parameters, i.e Response via output arguments, optionally, i.e Where `any` means everything, from custom structs to standard language's types-. `Result` is an interface which contains only that function: Dispatch(ctx iris.Context) and Get where HTTP Method function(Post, Put, Delete...). Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. Examples with good patterns to follow but not intend to be used in production of course can be found at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/#mvc. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user. If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller. But you should have a basic idea of the framework by now, we just scratched the surface. If you enjoy what you just saw and want to learn more, please follow the below links: Examples: Middleware: Home Page: Book (in-progress):
Package spew implements a deep pretty printer for Go data structures to aid in debugging. A quick overview of the additional features spew provides over the built-in printing facilities for Go data types are as follows: There are two different approaches spew allows for dumping Go data structures: This section demonstrates how to quickly get started with spew. See the sections below for further details on formatting and configuration options. To dump a variable with full newlines, indentation, type, and pointer information use Dump, Fdump, or Sdump: Alternatively, if you would prefer to use format strings with a compacted inline printing style, use the convenience wrappers Printf, Fprintf, etc with %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses): Configuration of spew is handled by fields in the ConfigState type. For convenience, all of the top-level functions use a global state available via the spew.Config global. It is also possible to create a ConfigState instance that provides methods equivalent to the top-level functions. This allows concurrent configuration options. See the ConfigState documentation for more details. The following configuration options are available: Indent String to use for each indentation level for Dump functions. It is a single space by default. A popular alternative is "\t". MaxDepth Maximum number of levels to descend into nested data structures. There is no limit by default. DisableMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods. Method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods on types which only accept pointer receivers from non-pointer variables. Pointer method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerAddresses DisablePointerAddresses specifies whether to disable the printing of pointer addresses. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. DisableCapacities DisableCapacities specifies whether to disable the printing of capacities for arrays, slices, maps and channels. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. ContinueOnMethod Enables recursion into types after invoking error and Stringer interface methods. Recursion after method invocation is disabled by default. SortKeys Specifies map keys should be sorted before being printed. Use this to have a more deterministic, diffable output. Note that only native types (bool, int, uint, floats, uintptr and string) and types which implement error or Stringer interfaces are supported with other types sorted according to the reflect.Value.String() output which guarantees display stability. Natural map order is used by default. SpewKeys Specifies that, as a last resort attempt, map keys should be spewed to strings and sorted by those strings. This is only considered if SortKeys is true. Simply call spew.Dump with a list of variables you want to dump: You may also call spew.Fdump if you would prefer to output to an arbitrary io.Writer. For example, to dump to standard error: A third option is to call spew.Sdump to get the formatted output as a string: See the Dump example for details on the setup of the types and variables being shown here. Byte (and uint8) arrays and slices are displayed uniquely like the hexdump -C command as shown. Spew provides a custom formatter that implements the fmt.Formatter interface so that it integrates cleanly with standard fmt package printing functions. The formatter is useful for inline printing of smaller data types similar to the standard %v format specifier. The custom formatter only responds to the %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses) verb combinations. Any other verbs such as %x and %q will be sent to the the standard fmt package for formatting. In addition, the custom formatter ignores the width and precision arguments (however they will still work on the format specifiers not handled by the custom formatter). The simplest way to make use of the spew custom formatter is to call one of the convenience functions such as spew.Printf, spew.Println, or spew.Printf. The functions have syntax you are most likely already familiar with: See the Index for the full list convenience functions. Double pointer to a uint8: Pointer to circular struct with a uint8 field and a pointer to itself: See the Printf example for details on the setup of variables being shown here. Since it is possible for custom Stringer/error interfaces to panic, spew detects them and handles them internally by printing the panic information inline with the output. Since spew is intended to provide deep pretty printing capabilities on structures, it intentionally does not return any errors.
Package tview implements rich widgets for terminal based user interfaces. The widgets provided with this package are useful for data exploration and data entry. The package implements the following widgets: The package also provides Application which is used to poll the event queue and draw widgets on screen. The following is a very basic example showing a box with the title "Hello, world!": First, we create a box primitive with a border and a title. Then we create an application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when Ctrl-C is pressed. If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any actions performed on them. You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different widgets and how they can be used. Throughout this package, colors are specified using the tcell.Color type. Functions such as tcell.GetColor(), tcell.NewHexColor(), and tcell.NewRGBColor() can be used to create colors from W3C color names or RGB values. Almost all strings which are displayed can contain color tags. Color tags are W3C color names or six hexadecimal digits following a hash tag, wrapped in square brackets. Examples: A color tag changes the color of the characters following that color tag. This applies to almost everything from box titles, list text, form item labels, to table cells. In a TextView, this functionality has to be switched on explicitly. See the TextView documentation for more information. Color tags may contain not just the foreground (text) color but also the background color and additional flags. In fact, the full definition of a color tag is as follows: Each of the three fields can be left blank and trailing fields can be omitted. (Empty square brackets "[]", however, are not considered color tags.) Colors that are not specified will be left unchanged. A field with just a dash ("-") means "reset to default". You can specify the following flags (some flags may not be supported by your terminal): Examples: In the rare event that you want to display a string such as "[red]" or "[#00ff1a]" without applying its effect, you need to put an opening square bracket before the closing square bracket. Note that the text inside the brackets will be matched less strictly than region or colors tags. I.e. any character that may be used in color or region tags will be recognized. Examples: You can use the Escape() function to insert brackets automatically where needed. When primitives are instantiated, they are initialized with colors taken from the global Styles variable. You may change this variable to adapt the look and feel of the primitives to your preferred style. This package supports unicode characters including wide characters. Many functions in this package are not thread-safe. For many applications, this may not be an issue: If your code makes changes in response to key events, it will execute in the main goroutine and thus will not cause any race conditions. If you access your primitives from other goroutines, however, you will need to synchronize execution. The easiest way to do this is to call Application.QueueUpdate() or Application.QueueUpdateDraw() (see the function documentation for details): One exception to this is the io.Writer interface implemented by TextView. You can safely write to a TextView from any goroutine. See the TextView documentation for details. You can also call Application.Draw() from any goroutine without having to wrap it in QueueUpdate(). And, as mentioned above, key event callbacks are executed in the main goroutine and thus should not use QueueUpdate() as that may lead to deadlocks. All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are therefore available for all widgets, too. All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types. The tview package is based on https://github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values). This package does not process mouse input (yet).

Package web implements a basic web site serving framework. The two fundamental types in this package are Site and Page. A Site is an http.Handler that serves requests from a file system. Use NewSite(fsys) to create a new Site. The Site is defined primarily by the content of its file system fsys, which holds files to be served as well as templates for converting Markdown or HTML fragments into full HTML pages. A Page, which is a map[string]interface{}, is the raw data that a Site renders into a web page. Typically a Page is loaded from a *.html or *.md file in the file system fsys, although dynamic pages can be computed and passed to ServePage as well, as described in “Serving Dynamic Pages” below. For a Page loaded from the file system, the key-value pairs in the map are initialized from the YAML or JSON metadata block at the top of a Markdown or HTML file, which looks like (YAML): or (JSON): By convention, key-value pairs loaded from a metadata block use lower-case keys. For historical reasons, keys in JSON metadata are converted to lower-case when read, so that the two headers above both refer to a key with a lower-case k. A few keys have special meanings: The key-value pair “status: n” sets the HTTP response status to the integer code n. The key-value pair “redirect: url” causes requests for this page redirect to the given relative or absolute URL. The key-value pair “layout: name” selects the page layout template with the given name. See the next section, “Page Rendering”, for details about layout and rendering. In addition to these explicit key-value pairs, pages loaded from the file system have a few implicit key-value pairs added by the page loading process: The key “Content” is added during during the rendering process. See “Page Rendering” for details. A Page's content is rendered in two steps: conversion to content, and framing of content. To convert a page to content, the page's file body (its FileData key, a []byte) is parsed and executed as an HTML template, with the page itself passed as the template input data. The template output is then interpreted as Markdown (perhaps with embedded HTML), and converted to HTML. The result is stored in the page under the key “Content”, with type template.HTML. A page's conversion to content can be skipped entirely in dynamically-generated pages by setting the “Content” key before passing the page to ServePage. The second step is framing the content in the overall site HTML, which is done by executing the site template, again using the Page itself as the template input data. The site template is constructed from two files in the file system. The first file is the fsys's “site.tmpl”, which provides the overall HTML frame for the site. The second file is a layout-specific template file, selected by the Page's “layout: name” key-value pair. The renderer searches for “name.tmpl” in the directory containing the page's file, then in the parent of that directory, and so on up to the root. If no such template is found, the rendering fails and reports that error. As a special case, “layout: none” skips the second file entirely. If there is no “layout: name” key-value pair, then the renderer tries using an implicit “layout: default”, but if no such “default.tmpl” template file can be found, the renderer uses an implicit “layout: none” instead. By convention, the site template and the layout-specific template are connected as follows. The site template, at the point where the content should be rendered, executes: The layout-specific template overrides this block by defining its own template named “layout”. For example: The use of the “block” template construct ensures that if there is no layout-specific template, the content will still be rendered. In this web server, templates can themselves be invoked as functions. See https://pkg.go.dev/rsc.io/tmplfunc for more details about that feature. During page rendering, both when rendering a page to content and when framing the content, the following template functions are available (in addition to those provided by the template package itself and the per-template functions just mentioned). In all functions taking a file path f, if the path begins with a slash, it is interpreted relative to the fsys root. Otherwise, it is interpreted relative to the directory of the current page's URL. The “{{add x y}}”, “{{sub x y}}”, “{{mul x y}}”, and “{{div x y}}” functions provide basic math on arguments of type int. The “{{code f [start [end]]}}” function returns a template.HTML of a formatted display of code lines from the file f. If both start and end are omitted, then the display shows the entire file. If only the start line is specified, then the display shows that single line. If both start and end are specified, then the display shows a range of lines starting at start up to and including end. The arguments start and end can take two forms: a number indicates a specific line number, and a string is taken to be a regular expresion indicating the earliest matching line in the file (or, for end, the earliest matching line after the start line). Any lines ending in “OMIT” are elided from the display. For example: The “{{data f}}” function reads the file f, decodes it as YAML, and then returns the resulting data, typically a map[string]interface{}. It is effectively shorthand for “{{yaml (file f)}}”. The “{{file f}}” function reads the file f and returns its content as a string. The “{{first n slice}}” function returns a slice of the first n elements of slice, or else slice itself when slice has fewer than n elements. The “{{markdown text}}” function interprets text (a string) as Markdown and returns the equivalent HTML as a template.HTML. The “{{page f}}” function returns the page data (a Page) for the static page contained in the file f. The lookup ignores trailing slashes in f as well as the presence or absence of extensions like .md, .html, /index.md, and /index.html, making it possible for f to be a relative or absolute URL path instead of a file path. The “{{pages glob}}” function returns a slice of page data (a []Page) for all pages loaded from files or directories in fsys matching the given glob (a string), according to the usual file path rules (if the glob starts with slash, it is interpreted relative to the fsys root, and otherwise relative to the directory of the page's URL). If the glob pattern matches a directory, the page for the directory's index.md or index.html is used. For example: The “{{raw s}}” function converts s (a string) to type template.HTML without any escaping, to allow using s as raw Markdown or HTML in the final output. The “{{yaml s}}” function decodes s (a string) as YAML and returns the resulting data. It is most useful for defining templates that accept YAML-structured data as a literal argument. For example: The “path” and “strings” functions return package objects with methods for every top-level function in these packages (except path.Split, which has more than one non-error result and would not be invokable). For example, “{{strings.ToUpper "abc"}}”. A Site is an http.Handler that serves requests by consulting the underlying file system and constructing and rendering pages, as well as serving binary and text files. To serve a request for URL path /p, if fsys has a file p/index.md, p/index.html, p.md, or p.html (in that order of preference), then the Site opens that file, parses it into a Page, renders the page as described in the “Page Rendering” section above, and responds to the request with the generated HTML. If the request URL does not match the parsed page's URL, then the Site responds with a redirect to the canonical URL. Otherwise, if fsys has a directory p and the Site can find a template “dir.tmpl” in that directory or a parent, then the Site responds with the rendering of where dir is the directory contents. Otherwise, if fsys has a file p containing valid UTF-8 text (at least up to the first kilobyte of the file) and the Site can find a template “text.tmpl” in that file's directory or a parent, and the file is not named robots.txt, and the file does not have a .css, .js, .svg, or .ts extension, then the Site responds with the rendering of where texthtml is the text file as rendered by the golang.org/x/website/internal/texthtml package. In the texthtml.Config, GoComments is set to true for file names ending in .go; the h URL query parameter, if present, is passed as Highlight, and the s URL query parameter, if set to lo:hi, is passed as a single-range Selection. If the request has the URL query parameter m=text, then the text file content is not rendered or framed and is instead served directly as a plain text response. If the request is for a file with a .ts extension the file contents are transformed from TypeScript to JavaScript and then served with a Content-Type=text/javascript header. Otherwise, if none of those cases apply but the request path p does exist in the file system, then the Site passes the request to an http.FileServer serving from fsys. This last case handles binary static content as well as textual static content excluded from the text file case above. Otherwise, the Site responds with the rendering of where err is the “not exist” error returned by fs.Stat(fsys, p). (See also the “Serving Errors” section below.) Of course, a web site may wish to serve more than static content. To allow dynamically generated web pages to make use of page rendering and site templates, the Site.ServePage method can be called with a dynamically generated Page value, which will then be rendered and served as the result of the request. If an error occurs while serving a request r, the Site responds with the rendering of If that rendering itself fails, the Site responds with status 500 and the cryptic page text “error rendering error”. The Site.ServeError and Site.ServeErrorStatus methods provide a way for dynamic servers to generate similar responses.
Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialzied. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>" This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]" These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the "attributes" hash for that record. The following extra arguments are also supported: "omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value. Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>" Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record. Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads. Visit the readme at https://github.com/google/jsonapi
Package sessions provides cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for custom session backends. The key features are: Let's start with an example that shows the sessions API in a nutshell: First we initialize a session store calling NewCookieStore() and passing a secret key used to authenticate the session. Inside the handler, we call store.Get() to retrieve an existing session or a new one. Then we set some session values in session.Values, which is a map[interface{}]interface{}. And finally we call session.Save() to save the session in the response. Note that in production code, we should check for errors when calling session.Save(r, w), and either display an error message or otherwise handle it. Save must be called before writing to the response, otherwise the session cookie will not be sent to the client. That's all you need to know for the basic usage. Let's take a look at other options, starting with flash messages. Flash messages are session values that last until read. The term appeared with Ruby On Rails a few years back. When we request a flash message, it is removed from the session. To add a flash, call session.AddFlash(), and to get all flashes, call session.Flashes(). Here is an example: Flash messages are useful to set information to be read after a redirection, like after form submissions. There may also be cases where you want to store a complex datatype within a session, such as a struct. Sessions are serialised using the encoding/gob package, so it is easy to register new datatypes for storage in sessions: As it's not possible to pass a raw type as a parameter to a function, gob.Register() relies on us passing it a value of the desired type. In the example above we've passed it a pointer to a struct and a pointer to a custom type representing a map[string]interface. (We could have passed non-pointer values if we wished.) This will then allow us to serialise/deserialise values of those types to and from our sessions. Note that because session values are stored in a map[string]interface{}, there's a need to type-assert data when retrieving it. We'll use the Person struct we registered above: By default, session cookies last for a month. This is probably too long for some cases, but it is easy to change this and other attributes during runtime. Sessions can be configured individually or the store can be configured and then all sessions saved using it will use that configuration. We access session.Options or store.Options to set a new configuration. The fields are basically a subset of http.Cookie fields. Let's change the maximum age of a session to one week: Sometimes we may want to change authentication and/or encryption keys without breaking existing sessions. The CookieStore supports key rotation, and to use it you just need to set multiple authentication and encryption keys, in pairs, to be tested in order: New sessions will be saved using the first pair. Old sessions can still be read because the first pair will fail, and the second will be tested. This makes it easy to "rotate" secret keys and still be able to validate existing sessions. Note: for all pairs the encryption key is optional; set it to nil or omit it and and encryption won't be used. Multiple sessions can be used in the same request, even with different session backends. When this happens, calling Save() on each session individually would be cumbersome, so we have a way to save all sessions at once: it's sessions.Save(). Here's an example: This is possible because when we call Get() from a session store, it adds the session to a common registry. Save() uses it to save all registered sessions.
Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 10.7.0 The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.10 and above is highly recommended. Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advantage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context. Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet. At the same time, iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, We call them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s). Standard macro types for parameters: if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}. If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e: Besides the fact that iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!. Register a named path parameter function: at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool. Example Code: A path parameter name should contain only alphabetical letters, symbols, containing '_' and numbers are NOT allowed. If route failed to be registered, the app will panic without any warnings if you didn't catch the second return value(error) on .Handle/.Get.... Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good. Run Static Files Example code: More examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/beginner/file-server Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route. Example code: iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler. Example code: Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context/context#ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`. All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more. Example code: View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/shuLhan/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func. Example code: A real example can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/view/embedding-templates-into-app. Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit. Example code: Note: In case you're wondering, the code behind the view engines derives from the "github.com/kataras/iris/view" package, access to the engines' variables can be granded by "github.com/kataras/iris" package too. Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/view . This example will show how to store and access data from a session. You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not. In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message. Example code: Running the example: Sessions persistence can be achieved using one (or more) `sessiondb`. Example Code: More examples: In this example we will create a small chat between web sockets via browser. Example Server Code: Example Client(javascript) Code: Running the example: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: // GetUserBy serves // Method: GET // Resource: http://localhost:8080/user/{username:string} // By is a reserved "keyword" to tell the framework that you're going to // bind path parameters in the function's input arguments, and it also // helps to have "Get" and "GetBy" in the same controller. // // func (c *ExampleController) GetUserBy(username string) mvc.Result { // return mvc.View{ // Name: "user/username.html", // Data: username, // } // } Can use more than one, the factory will make sure that the correct http methods are being registered for each route for this controller, uncomment these if you want: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller. Register custom controller's struct's methods as handlers with custom paths(even with regex parametermized path) via the `BeforeActivation` custom event callback, per-controller. Example: Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) by defining services to the Dependencies or have a `Singleton` controller scope. Share the dependencies between controllers or register them on a parent MVC Application, and ability to modify dependencies per-controller on the `BeforeActivation` optional event callback inside a Controller, i.e Access to the `Context` as a controller's field(no manual binding is neede) i.e `Ctx iris.Context` or via a method's input argument, i.e Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View). You can return models from a controller's method or set a field in the request lifecycle and return that field to another method, in the same request lifecycle. Flow as you used to, mvc application has its own `Router` which is a type of `iris/router.Party`, the standard iris api. `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Session dynamic dependency via manager's `Start` to the MVC Application, i.e Inheritance, recursively. Access to the dynamic path parameters via the controller's methods' input arguments, no binding is needed. When you use the Iris' default syntax to parse handlers from a controller, you need to suffix the methods with the `By` word, uppercase is a new sub path. Example: Register one or more relative paths and able to get path parameters, i.e Response via output arguments, optionally, i.e Where `any` means everything, from custom structs to standard language's types-. `Result` is an interface which contains only that function: Dispatch(ctx iris.Context) and Get where HTTP Method function(Post, Put, Delete...). Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. Examples with good patterns to follow but not intend to be used in production of course can be found at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/#mvc. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user. If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller. But you should have a basic idea of the framework by now, we just scratched the surface.

Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. Examples with good patterns to follow but not intend to be used in production of course can be found at: https://github.com/alphayan/iris/tree/master/_examples/#mvc. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user. If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller.

Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 11.1.1 The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.11.1 and above is highly recommended. Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advantage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context. Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet. At the same time, iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, We call them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s). Standard macro types for parameters: if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}. If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e: Besides the fact that iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!. Register a named path parameter function: at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool. Example Code: Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good. Run Static Files Example code: More examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/beginner/file-server Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route. Example code: iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler. Example code: Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context/context#ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`. All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more. Example code: View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/shuLhan/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func. Example code: A real example can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/view/embedding-templates-into-app. Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit. Example code: Note: In case you're wondering, the code behind the view engines derives from the "github.com/kataras/iris/view" package, access to the engines' variables can be granded by "github.com/kataras/iris" package too. Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/view . This example will show how to store and access data from a session. You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not. In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message. Example code: Running the example: Sessions persistence can be achieved using one (or more) `sessiondb`. Example Code: More examples: In this example we will create a small chat between web sockets via browser. Example Server Code: Example Client(javascript) Code: Running the example: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: // GetUserBy serves // Method: GET // Resource: http://localhost:8080/user/{username:string} // By is a reserved "keyword" to tell the framework that you're going to // bind path parameters in the function's input arguments, and it also // helps to have "Get" and "GetBy" in the same controller. // // func (c *ExampleController) GetUserBy(username string) mvc.Result { // return mvc.View{ // Name: "user/username.html", // Data: username, // } // } Can use more than one, the factory will make sure that the correct http methods are being registered for each route for this controller, uncomment these if you want: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller. Register custom controller's struct's methods as handlers with custom paths(even with regex parametermized path) via the `BeforeActivation` custom event callback, per-controller. Example: Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) by defining services to the Dependencies or have a `Singleton` controller scope. Share the dependencies between controllers or register them on a parent MVC Application, and ability to modify dependencies per-controller on the `BeforeActivation` optional event callback inside a Controller, i.e Access to the `Context` as a controller's field(no manual binding is neede) i.e `Ctx iris.Context` or via a method's input argument, i.e Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View). You can return models from a controller's method or set a field in the request lifecycle and return that field to another method, in the same request lifecycle. Flow as you used to, mvc application has its own `Router` which is a type of `iris/router.Party`, the standard iris api. `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Session dynamic dependency via manager's `Start` to the MVC Application, i.e Inheritance, recursively. Access to the dynamic path parameters via the controller's methods' input arguments, no binding is needed.

Package treemap implements functions and structs for building treemaps TreeMaps are an alternative way to display properties of structured layered data (such as filesystems). Every data point can contain up to 4 different dimmensions: 3 numericals and a color encoded one. Consider the folowing description of a simple, hypotetical code analyzer report. In this case the dimm1 is the number of lines of code contained by the node, dimm2 is the number of types, dimm3, the number of functions and the color is encoding the complexity of the node (CCN-like mesure) treemap generates an extended version of the tree description, adding spatial coordinates and dimmensions for every package (block) in the tree. In this extended version, dimm1 will affect the width of the block; dimm2, its depth and dimm3 its height. The tiling algorithm is based in:
Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialzied. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>" This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]" These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the the "attributes" hash for that record. The following extra arguments are also supported: "omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value. Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>" Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record.

Package goncurses is a new curses (ncurses) library for the Go programming language. It implements all the ncurses extension libraries: form, menu and panel. Minimal operation would consist of initializing the display: It is important to always call End() before your program exits. If you fail to do so, the terminal will not perform properly and will either need to be reset or restarted completely. CAUTION: Calls to ncurses functions are normally not atomic nor reentrant and therefore extreme care should be taken to ensure ncurses functions are not called concurrently. Specifically, never write data to the same window concurrently nor accept input and send output to the same window as both alter the underlying C data structures in a non safe manner. Ideally, you should structure your program to ensure all ncurses related calls happen in a single goroutine. This is probably most easily achieved via channels and Go's built-in select. Alternatively, or additionally, you can use a mutex to protect any calls in multiple goroutines from happening concurrently. Failure to do so will result in unpredictable and undefined behaviour in your program. The examples directory contains demonstrations of many of the capabilities goncurses can provide.

Amazon GameLift provides tools for the following tasks: (1) acquire computing resources and deploy game servers, (2) scale game server capacity to meet player demand, (3) host game sessions and manage player access, and (4) track in-depth metrics on player usage and server performance. The Amazon GameLift service API includes two important function sets: Manage game sessions and player access -- Retrieve information on available game sessions; create new game sessions; send player requests to join a game session. Configure and manage game server resources -- Manage builds, fleets, queues, and aliases; set autoscaling policies; retrieve logs and metrics. This reference guide describes the low-level service API for Amazon GameLift. You can use the API functionality with these tools: The Amazon Web Services software development kit (AWS SDK (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/#sdk)) is available in multiple languages (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/gamelift-supported.html#gamelift-supported-clients) including C++ and C#. Use the SDK to access the API programmatically from an application, such as a game client. The AWS command-line interface (http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) (CLI) tool is primarily useful for handling administrative actions, such as setting up and managing Amazon GameLift settings and resources. You can use the AWS CLI to manage all of your AWS services. The AWS Management Console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/home) for Amazon GameLift provides a web interface to manage your Amazon GameLift settings and resources. The console includes a dashboard for tracking key resources, including builds and fleets, and displays usage and performance metrics for your games as customizable graphs. Amazon GameLift Local is a tool for testing your game's integration with Amazon GameLift before deploying it on the service. This tools supports a subset of key API actions, which can be called from either the AWS CLI or programmatically.

Package tview implements rich widgets for terminal based user interfaces. The widgets provided with this package are useful for data exploration and data entry. The package implements the following widgets: The package also provides Application which is used to poll the event queue and draw widgets on screen. The following is a very basic example showing a box with the title "Hello, world!": First, we create a box primitive with a border and a title. Then we create an application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when Ctrl-C is pressed. If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any actions performed on them. You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different widgets and how they can be used. Throughout this package, colors are specified using the tcell.Color type. Functions such as tcell.GetColor(), tcell.NewHexColor(), and tcell.NewRGBColor() can be used to create colors from W3C color names or RGB values. Almost all strings which are displayed can contain color tags. Color tags are W3C color names or six hexadecimal digits following a hash tag, wrapped in square brackets. Examples: A color tag changes the color of the characters following that color tag. This applies to almost everything from box titles, list text, form item labels, to table cells. In a TextView, this functionality has to be switched on explicitly. See the TextView documentation for more information. Color tags may contain not just the foreground (text) color but also the background color and additional flags. In fact, the full definition of a color tag is as follows: Each of the three fields can be left blank and trailing fields can be omitted. (Empty square brackets "[]", however, are not considered color tags.) Colors that are not specified will be left unchanged. A field with just a dash ("-") means "reset to default". You can specify the following flags (some flags may not be supported by your terminal): Examples: In the rare event that you want to display a string such as "[red]" or "[#00ff1a]" without applying its effect, you need to put an opening square bracket before the closing square bracket. Note that the text inside the brackets will be matched less strictly than region or colors tags. I.e. any character that may be used in color or region tags will be recognized. Examples: You can use the Escape() function to insert brackets automatically where needed. When primitives are instantiated, they are initialized with colors taken from the global Styles variable. You may change this variable to adapt the look and feel of the primitives to your preferred style. This package supports unicode characters including wide characters. Many functions in this package are not thread-safe. For many applications, this may not be an issue: If your code makes changes in response to key events, it will execute in the main goroutine and thus will not cause any race conditions. If you access your primitives from other goroutines, however, you will need to synchronize execution. The easiest way to do this is to call Application.QueueUpdate() (see its documentation for details): One exception to this is the io.Writer interface implemented by TextView. You can safely write to a TextView from any goroutine. See the TextView documentation for details. All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are therefore available for all widgets, too. All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types. The tview package is based on https://github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values). This package does not process mouse input (yet).
Package gorilla/sessions provides cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for custom session backends. The key features are: Let's start with an example that shows the sessions API in a nutshell: First we initialize a session store calling NewCookieStore() and passing a secret key used to authenticate the session. Inside the handler, we call store.Get() to retrieve an existing session or a new one. Then we set some session values in session.Values, which is a map[interface{}]interface{}. And finally we call session.Save() to save the session in the response. Note that in production code, we should check for errors when calling session.Save(r, w), and either display an error message or otherwise handle it. Save must be called before writing to the response, otherwise the session cookie will not be sent to the client. Important Note: If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers with context.ClearHandler as or else you will leak memory! An easy way to do this is to wrap the top-level mux when calling http.ListenAndServe: The ClearHandler function is provided by the gorilla/context package. That's all you need to know for the basic usage. Let's take a look at other options, starting with flash messages. Flash messages are session values that last until read. The term appeared with Ruby On Rails a few years back. When we request a flash message, it is removed from the session. To add a flash, call session.AddFlash(), and to get all flashes, call session.Flashes(). Here is an example: Flash messages are useful to set information to be read after a redirection, like after form submissions. There may also be cases where you want to store a complex datatype within a session, such as a struct. Sessions are serialised using the encoding/gob package, so it is easy to register new datatypes for storage in sessions: As it's not possible to pass a raw type as a parameter to a function, gob.Register() relies on us passing it an empty pointer to the type as a parameter. In the example above we've passed it a pointer to a struct and a pointer to a custom type representing a map[string]interface. This will then allow us to serialise/deserialise values of those types to and from our sessions. Note that because session values are stored in a map[string]interface{}, there's a need to type-assert data when retrieving it. We'll use the Person struct we registered above: By default, session cookies last for a month. This is probably too long for some cases, but it is easy to change this and other attributes during runtime. Sessions can be configured individually or the store can be configured and then all sessions saved using it will use that configuration. We access session.Options or store.Options to set a new configuration. The fields are basically a subset of http.Cookie fields. Let's change the maximum age of a session to one week: Sometimes we may want to change authentication and/or encryption keys without breaking existing sessions. The CookieStore supports key rotation, and to use it you just need to set multiple authentication and encryption keys, in pairs, to be tested in order: New sessions will be saved using the first pair. Old sessions can still be read because the first pair will fail, and the second will be tested. This makes it easy to "rotate" secret keys and still be able to validate existing sessions. Note: for all pairs the encryption key is optional; set it to nil or omit it and and encryption won't be used. Multiple sessions can be used in the same request, even with different session backends. When this happens, calling Save() on each session individually would be cumbersome, so we have a way to save all sessions at once: it's sessions.Save(). Here's an example: This is possible because when we call Get() from a session store, it adds the session to a common registry. Save() uses it to save all registered sessions.

Package spew implements a deep pretty printer for Go data structures to aid in debugging. A quick overview of the additional features spew provides over the built-in printing facilities for Go data types are as follows: There are two different approaches spew allows for dumping Go data structures: This section demonstrates how to quickly get started with spew. See the sections below for further details on formatting and configuration options. To dump a variable with full newlines, indentation, type, and pointer information use Dump, Fdump, or Sdump: Alternatively, if you would prefer to use format strings with a compacted inline printing style, use the convenience wrappers Printf, Fprintf, etc with %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses): Configuration of spew is handled by fields in the ConfigState type. For convenience, all of the top-level functions use a global state available via the spew.Config global. It is also possible to create a ConfigState instance that provides methods equivalent to the top-level functions. This allows concurrent configuration options. See the ConfigState documentation for more details. The following configuration options are available: Indent String to use for each indentation level for Dump functions. It is a single space by default. A popular alternative is "\t". MaxDepth Maximum number of levels to descend into nested data structures. There is no limit by default. DisableMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods. Method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods on types which only accept pointer receivers from non-pointer variables. Pointer method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerAddresses DisablePointerAddresses specifies whether to disable the printing of pointer addresses. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. DisableCapacities DisableCapacities specifies whether to disable the printing of capacities for arrays, slices, maps and channels. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. ContinueOnMethod Enables recursion into types after invoking error and Stringer interface methods. Recursion after method invocation is disabled by default. SortKeys Specifies map keys should be sorted before being printed. Use this to have a more deterministic, diffable output. Note that only native types (bool, int, uint, floats, uintptr and string) and types which implement error or Stringer interfaces are supported with other types sorted according to the reflect.Value.String() output which guarantees display stability. Natural map order is used by default. SpewKeys Specifies that, as a last resort attempt, map keys should be spewed to strings and sorted by those strings. This is only considered if SortKeys is true. Simply call spew.Dump with a list of variables you want to dump: You may also call spew.Fdump if you would prefer to output to an arbitrary io.Writer. For example, to dump to standard error: A third option is to call spew.Sdump to get the formatted output as a string: See the Dump example for details on the setup of the types and variables being shown here. Byte (and uint8) arrays and slices are displayed uniquely like the hexdump -C command as shown. Spew provides a custom formatter that implements the fmt.Formatter interface so that it integrates cleanly with standard fmt package printing functions. The formatter is useful for inline printing of smaller data types similar to the standard %v format specifier. The custom formatter only responds to the %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses) verb combinations. Any other verbs such as %x and %q will be sent to the the standard fmt package for formatting. In addition, the custom formatter ignores the width and precision arguments (however they will still work on the format specifiers not handled by the custom formatter). The simplest way to make use of the spew custom formatter is to call one of the convenience functions such as spew.Printf, spew.Println, or spew.Printf. The functions have syntax you are most likely already familiar with: See the Index for the full list convenience functions. Double pointer to a uint8: Pointer to circular struct with a uint8 field and a pointer to itself: See the Printf example for details on the setup of variables being shown here. Since it is possible for custom Stringer/error interfaces to panic, spew detects them and handles them internally by printing the panic information inline with the output. Since spew is intended to provide deep pretty printing capabilities on structures, it intentionally does not return any errors.
Package goctftime parses and stores data from ctftime.org into a Firestore database so that it can be easily indexed and queried by an Android application that displays CTF Time data. The various handlers listen on the server for a GET request to their respective path. This triggers the execution of the handler logic. Each handler is responsible for parsing and storing some portion of ctftime.org. Handler logic is broken up into two phases. The first phase triggers multiple goroutines to parse and store data concurrently. By default, the maximum number of goroutines running at once is 10. To change the maximum number of goroutines running at once, modify the maxRoutines variable. This concurrent phase only requests pages that we have scraped before. The second phase operates on a single thread and checks to see if new content exists. If new content exists, it is parsed and stored in Firestore. Finally, we update the value used in phase one to delineate the range of known content. Each scraper operates concurrently as it requests known content. The definition of "known" is based on a Firestore value for the respective piece of content (teams, events, etc.). This value is retrieved and possibly updated on each scraping iteration.
Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 8.5.9 Final The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.9 is highly recommended. Iris takes advantage of the vendor directory feature wisely: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bz5-UB7g2uPBdOx-rw5t9MxJwkfpx90cqG9AFL0JAYo. You get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes. A simple copy-paste and `go get ./...` to resolve two dependencies: https://github.com/kataras/golog and the https://github.com/iris-contrib/httpexpect will work for ever even for older versions, the newest version can be retrieved by `go get` but this file contains documentation for an older version of Iris. Follow the instructions below: 1. install the Go Programming Language: https://golang.org/dl 2. clear yours previously `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` folder or create new 3. download the Iris v8.5.9 (final): https://github.com/kataras/iris/archive/v8.zip 4. extract the contents of the `iris-v8` folder that's inside the downloaded zip file to your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` 5. navigate to your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` folder if you're not already there and open a terminal/command prompt, execute the command: `go get ./...` and you're ready to GO:) Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advandage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller struct. Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) via `iris:"persistence"` tag right to the field or Bind using `app.Controller("/" , new(myController), theBindValue)`. Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View) via `iris:"model"` tag right to the field, i.e User UserModel `iris:"model" name:"user"` view will recognise it as `{{.user}}`. If `name` tag is missing then it takes the field's name, in this case the `"User"`. Access to the request path and its parameters via the `Path and Params` fields. Access to the template file that should be rendered via the `Tmpl` field. Access to the template data that should be rendered inside the template file via `Data` field. Access to the template layout via the `Layout` field. Access to the low-level `iris.Context` via the `Ctx` field. Get the relative request path by using the controller's name via `RelPath()`. Get the relative template path directory by using the controller's name via `RelTmpl()`. Flow as you used to, `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Inheritance, recursively, see for example our `mvc.SessionController/iris.SessionController`, it has the `mvc.Controller/iris.Controller` as an embedded field and it adds its logic to its `BeginRequest`. Source file: https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/v8/mvc/session_controller.go. Read access to the current route via the `Route` field. Support for more than one input arguments (map to dynamic request path parameters). Register one or more relative paths and able to get path parameters, i.e Response via output arguments, optionally, i.e Where `any` means everything, from custom structs to standard language's types-. `Result` is an interface which contains only that function: Dispatch(ctx iris.Context) and Get where HTTP Method function(Post, Put, Delete...). Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. The example below is not intended to be used in production but it's a good showcase of some of the return types we saw before; Another good example with a typical folder structure, that many developers are used to work, can be found at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/mvc/overview. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user. If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller. Follow the examples at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/#mvc At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context. Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet. At the same time, iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, We call them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s). Standard macro types for parameters: if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}. If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e: Besides the fact that iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!. Register a named path parameter function: at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool. Example Code: A path parameter name should contain only alphabetical letters, symbols, containing '_' and numbers are NOT allowed. If route failed to be registered, the app will panic without any warnings if you didn't catch the second return value(error) on .Handle/.Get.... Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good. Run Static Files Example code: More examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/beginner/file-server Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route. Example code: iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler. Example code: Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context/context#ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`. All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more. Example code: View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func. Example code: A real example can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/view/embedding-templates-into-app. Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit. Example code: Note: In case you're wondering, the code behind the view engines derives from the "github.com/kataras/iris/view" package, access to the engines' variables can be granded by "github.com/kataras/iris" package too. Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/view . This example will show how to store and access data from a session. You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not. In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message.

Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 11.1.1 The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.11.1 and above is highly recommended. Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advantage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context.

Example Server Code: Example Client(javascript) Code: Running the example: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: // GetUserBy serves // Method: GET // Resource: http://localhost:8080/user/{username:string} // By is a reserved "keyword" to tell the framework that you're going to // bind path parameters in the function's input arguments, and it also // helps to have "Get" and "GetBy" in the same controller. // // func (c *ExampleController) GetUserBy(username string) mvc.Result { // return mvc.View{ // Name: "user/username.html", // Data: username, // } // } Can use more than one, the factory will make sure that the correct http methods are being registered for each route for this controller, uncomment these if you want: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller. Register custom controller's struct's methods as handlers with custom paths(even with regex parametermized path) via the `BeforeActivation` custom event callback, per-controller. Example: Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) by defining services to the Dependencies or have a `Singleton` controller scope. Share the dependencies between controllers or register them on a parent MVC Application, and ability to modify dependencies per-controller on the `BeforeActivation` optional event callback inside a Controller, i.e Access to the `Context` as a controller's field(no manual binding is neede) i.e `Ctx iris.Context` or via a method's input argument, i.e Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View). You can return models from a controller's method or set a field in the request lifecycle and return that field to another method, in the same request lifecycle. Flow as you used to, mvc application has its own `Router` which is a type of `iris/router.Party`, the standard iris api. `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Session dynamic dependency via manager's `Start` to the MVC Application, i.e Inheritance, recursively. Access to the dynamic path parameters via the controller's methods' input arguments, no binding is needed. When you use the Iris' default syntax to parse handlers from a controller, you need to suffix the methods with the `By` word, uppercase is a new sub path. Example: Register one or more relative paths and able to get path parameters, i.e Response via output arguments, optionally, i.e Where `any` means everything, from custom structs to standard language's types-. `Result` is an interface which contains only that function: Dispatch(ctx iris.Context) and Get where HTTP Method function(Post, Put, Delete...). Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. Examples with good patterns to follow but not intend to be used in production of course can be found at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/#mvc. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications.

Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialzied. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>" This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]" These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the the "attributes" hash for that record. The following extra arguments are also supported: "omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value. Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>" Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record. Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads. Visit the readme at https://github.com/google/jsonapi
Radix package provide radix algorithm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree • This implementation allow indexing key with a bit precision. The wikipedia reference show a radix tree with a byte precision. It seems natural with string. This radix tree is designed to manipulate networks. • Each tree could accept ~2x10^12 nodes. • Keys are 16bit encoded, so could have 64k bytes of length. • Like most tree algothm, keys are stored sorted, accessing the little or greater value is very fast. • Lookup algortithm complexity is O(log(n)), tree depth is log(n). • The package provide facility to use string, uint64 and network as key. It is written to be fast and save memory. Below basic benchmark using CPU "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1068NG7 CPU @ 2.30GHz". Using IPv4 networks as key. The benchmark code is provided in radix_test.go file with a reference dataset. • Index 2 649 172 entries in 1.22s, so 2.17M insert/s • Lookup 1 000 000 random data in 0.78s with 146 190 hit, 853 810 miss, so 1.28M lookup/s • Browse 2 649 172 entries in 0.47s, so 5.64M read/s • Delete 2 649 172 sequential data in 0.74s, so 3.58M delete/s Nothing about memory consumation in this test beacause it hard to measure relevant data, because the garbage collector. The tree use two kind of nodes. Internal node `type node struct` were are not exported and leaf node `type Node struct`. These name are ambiguous, this is due to a necessary compatibility with existing programs. Node are just an interface{} associated with a `node struct`. Because this king of tree could contains millions of entries, it is important to use the mimnimum of memory. Member structs are obviously sorted in order to respect alignment packing data without hole. In other way, I used three means to compact memory: 1. Saving memory : use string in place of []byte The most simpler is storing []byte with string type. The string uses 16 byte, the []byte uses 24 bytes. 2. Saving memory : use 32bit reference in place of 64bit pointers More tricky, how use 32bit reference in place of 64bit pointers for chaining nodes. I use memory pool and 64k array of 64k array of nodes. The following explanation is not complete, but the code comment contains more information. There just an introduction. Usage of memory pool implies while the radix tree is in use, allocated node are not garbage colected. memory_pool growth by block of 64k nodes. Each time there are no free node, memory pool has one more slot of 64k node. memory_backref is dichotomic sorted list of pointer start and stop which reference the memory_pool index which contains pointer. ptr_start = &[0]node, ptr_stop = &[65535]node. memory_free is the list of avalaible nodes. node pointer from reference = &memory_pool[x][y], where x and y and 16bit values node reference from pointer: • x = dichotomic search of memory_pool_index in memory_backref array using &node pointer reference • y = (&node - ptr_start) / node_size In reality, there are two distinct pool per tree using this concept. The pool of node and the pool of leaf. the memory_backref contains also a boolean value to distinct these two kind of pool. In reality x is not used until 64k but limited to 32k and the msb is used to differenciate the two pools. 3. Saving memory : split node types according with their kind to avoid interface{} pointer Some node are used for internal chainaing, other nodes are used to display data. data is stored in an interface which uses 16bytes. It is garbage to let these 16bytes for each nodes. there the approximatively the same numbers of internal nodes than exposed nodes, so for 1M data indexed, 1M of internal nodes. I use a property which is &Node adress = &Node.node adress. I manipulate only node to chain each data. If I need to insert a leaf, I use Node.node. When I browse the tree I need to kwnown if I encounter leaf or node. I just chack the msb of the reference.
Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialized. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>" This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]" These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the "attributes" hash for that record. The following extra arguments are also supported: "omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value. Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>" Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record. Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads. Visit the readme at https://github.com/google/jsonapi

Issue is a client for reading and updating issues in a GitHub project issue tracker. Issue runs the query against the given project's issue tracker and prints a table of matching issues, sorted by issue summary. The default owner/repo is golang/go. If multiple arguments are given as the query, issue joins them by spaces to form a single issue search. These two commands are equivalent: Searches are always limited to open issues. If the query is a single number, issue prints that issue in detail, including all comments. Issue expects to find a GitHub "personal access token" in $HOME/.github-issue-token and will use that token to authenticate to GitHub when reading or writing issue data. A token can be created by visiting https://github.com/settings/tokens/new. The token only needs the 'repo' scope checkbox, and optionally 'private_repo' if you want to work with issue trackers for private repositories. It does not need any other permissions. The -token flag specifies an alternate file from which to read the token. If the -a flag is specified, issue runs as a collection of acme windows instead of a command-line tool. In this mode, the query is optional. If no query is given, issue uses "state:open". There are three kinds of acme windows: issue, issue creation, issue list, search result, and milestone list. The following text forms can be looked for (right clicked on) and open a window (or navigate to an existing one). Executing "New" opens an issue creation window. Executing "Search <query>" opens a new window showing the results of that search. An issue window, opened by loading an issue number, displays full detail about an issue, a header followed by each comment. For example: Executing "Get" reloads the issue data. Executing "Put" updates an issue. It saves any changes to the issue header and, if any text has been entered between the header and the "Reported by" line, posts that text as a new comment. If both succeed, Put then reloads the issue data. The "Closed" and "URL" headers cannot be changed. An issue creation window, opened by executing "New", is like an issue window but displays only an empty issue template: Once the template has been completed (only the title is required), executing "Put" creates the issue and converts the window into a issue window for the new issue. An issue list window displays a list of all open issue numbers and titles. If the project has any open milestones, they are listed in a header line. For example: As in any window, right clicking on an issue number opens a window for that issue. A search result window, opened by executing "Search <query>", displays a list of issues matching a search query. It shows the query in a header line. For example: Executing "Sort" in a search result window toggles between sorting by title and sorting by decreasing issue number. Executing "Bulk" in an issue list or search result window opens a new bulk edit window applying to the displayed issues. If there is a non-empty text selection in the issue list or search result list, the bulk edit window is restricted to issues in the selection. The bulk edit window consists of a metadata header followed by a list of issues, like: The metadata header shows only metadata shared by all the issues. In the above example, all four issues are open and have milestone Go1.4.3, but they have no common labels nor a common assignee. The bulk edit applies to the issues listed in the window text; adding or removing issue lines changes the set of issues affected by Get or Put operations. Executing "Get" refreshes the metadata header and issue summaries. Executing "Put" updates all the listed issues. It applies any changes made to the metadata header and, if any text has been entered between the header and the first issue line, posts that text as a comment. If all operations succeed, Put then refreshes the window as Get does. The milestone list window, opened by loading any of the names "milestone", "Milestone", or "Milestones", displays the open project milestones, sorted by due date, along with the number of open issues in each. For example: Loading one of the listed milestone names opens a search for issues in that milestone. The -e flag enables basic editing of issues with editors other than acme. The editor invoked is $VISUAL if set, $EDITOR if set, or else ed. Issue prepares a textual representation of issue data in a temporary file, opens that file in the editor, waits for the editor to exit, and then applies any changes from the file to the actual issues. When <query> is a single number, issue -e edits a single issue. See the “Issue Window” section above. If the <query> is the text "new", issue -e creates a new issue. See the “Issue Creation Window” section above. Otherwise, for general queries, issue -e edits multiple issues in bulk. See the “Bulk Edit Window” section above. The -json flag causes issue to print the results in JSON format using these data structures: If asked for a specific issue, the output is an Issue with Comments. Otherwise, the result is an array of Issues without Comments.
The tcpproxy command displays all data sent between tcp client and server. Run without parameters for usage information.
Package spew implements a deep pretty printer for Go data structures to aid in debugging. A quick overview of the additional features spew provides over the built-in printing facilities for Go data types are as follows: There are two different approaches spew allows for dumping Go data structures: This section demonstrates how to quickly get started with spew. See the sections below for further details on formatting and configuration options. To dump a variable with full newlines, indentation, type, and pointer information use Dump, Fdump, or Sdump: Alternatively, if you would prefer to use format strings with a compacted inline printing style, use the convenience wrappers Printf, Fprintf, etc with %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses): Configuration of spew is handled by fields in the ConfigState type. For convenience, all of the top-level functions use a global state available via the spew.Config global. It is also possible to create a ConfigState instance that provides methods equivalent to the top-level functions. This allows concurrent configuration options. See the ConfigState documentation for more details. The following configuration options are available: Indent String to use for each indentation level for Dump functions. It is a single space by default. A popular alternative is "\t". MaxDepth Maximum number of levels to descend into nested data structures. There is no limit by default. DisableMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods. Method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods on types which only accept pointer receivers from non-pointer variables. Pointer method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerAddresses DisablePointerAddresses specifies whether to disable the printing of pointer addresses. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. DisableCapacities DisableCapacities specifies whether to disable the printing of capacities for arrays, slices, maps and channels. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. ContinueOnMethod Enables recursion into types after invoking error and Stringer interface methods. Recursion after method invocation is disabled by default. SortKeys Specifies map keys should be sorted before being printed. Use this to have a more deterministic, diffable output. Note that only native types (bool, int, uint, floats, uintptr and string) and types which implement error or Stringer interfaces are supported with other types sorted according to the reflect.Value.String() output which guarantees display stability. Natural map order is used by default. SpewKeys Specifies that, as a last resort attempt, map keys should be spewed to strings and sorted by those strings. This is only considered if SortKeys is true. Simply call spew.Dump with a list of variables you want to dump: You may also call spew.Fdump if you would prefer to output to an arbitrary io.Writer. For example, to dump to standard error: A third option is to call spew.Sdump to get the formatted output as a string: See the Dump example for details on the setup of the types and variables being shown here. Byte (and uint8) arrays and slices are displayed uniquely like the hexdump -C command as shown. Spew provides a custom formatter that implements the fmt.Formatter interface so that it integrates cleanly with standard fmt package printing functions. The formatter is useful for inline printing of smaller data types similar to the standard %v format specifier. The custom formatter only responds to the %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses) verb combinations. Any other verbs such as %x and %q will be sent to the the standard fmt package for formatting. In addition, the custom formatter ignores the width and precision arguments (however they will still work on the format specifiers not handled by the custom formatter). The simplest way to make use of the spew custom formatter is to call one of the convenience functions such as spew.Printf, spew.Println, or spew.Printf. The functions have syntax you are most likely already familiar with: See the Index for the full list convenience functions. Double pointer to a uint8: Pointer to circular struct with a uint8 field and a pointer to itself: See the Printf example for details on the setup of variables being shown here. Since it is possible for custom Stringer/error interfaces to panic, spew detects them and handles them internally by printing the panic information inline with the output. Since spew is intended to provide deep pretty printing capabilities on structures, it intentionally does not return any errors.
Package iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app. Source code and other details for the project are available at GitHub: 8.5.9 Final The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8 but 1.9 is highly recommended. Iris takes advantage of the vendor directory feature wisely: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bz5-UB7g2uPBdOx-rw5t9MxJwkfpx90cqG9AFL0JAYo. You get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes. A simple copy-paste and `go get ./...` to resolve two dependencies: https://github.com/kataras/golog and the https://github.com/iris-contrib/httpexpect will work for ever even for older versions, the newest version can be retrieved by `go get` but this file contains documentation for an older version of Iris. Follow the instructions below: 1. install the Go Programming Language: https://golang.org/dl 2. clear yours previously `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` folder or create new 3. download the Iris v8.5.9 (final): https://github.com/kataras/iris/archive/v8.zip 4. extract the contents of the `iris-v8` folder that's inside the downloaded zip file to your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` 5. navigate to your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` folder if you're not already there and open a terminal/command prompt, execute the command: `go get ./...` and you're ready to GO:) Example code: You can start the server(s) listening to any type of `net.Listener` or even `http.Server` instance. The method for initialization of the server should be passed at the end, via `Run` function. Below you'll see some useful examples: UNIX and BSD hosts can take advandage of the reuse port feature. Example code: That's all with listening, you have the full control when you need it. Let's continue by learning how to catch CONTROL+C/COMMAND+C or unix kill command and shutdown the server gracefully. In order to manually manage what to do when app is interrupted, we have to disable the default behavior with the option `WithoutInterruptHandler` and register a new interrupt handler (globally, across all possible hosts). Example code: Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the `Application#Hosts` field, after the `Run` method. But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the `Run` method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below. First way is to use the `app.NewHost` to create a new host and use one of its `Serve` or `Listen` functions to start the application via the `iris#Raw` Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the `net/http` package. Example Code: Second, and probably easier way is to use the `host.Configurator`. Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the `iris#Supervisor` and omit the extra host import. All common `Runners` we saw earlier (`iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS`) accept a variadic argument of `host.Configurator`, there are just `func(*host.Supervisor)`. Therefore the `Application` gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these. Example Code: Read more about listening and gracefully shutdown by navigating to: All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: In order to make things easier for the user, iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more iris.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server. Example code: A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too. `.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups. Example code: iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on. Example code: With the help of iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety. Example code: Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world. Example Code: Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution. Characteristics: All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve `GET` then the controller should have a function named `Get()`, you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller struct. Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) via `iris:"persistence"` tag right to the field or Bind using `app.Controller("/" , new(myController), theBindValue)`. Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View) via `iris:"model"` tag right to the field, i.e User UserModel `iris:"model" name:"user"` view will recognise it as `{{.user}}`. If `name` tag is missing then it takes the field's name, in this case the `"User"`. Access to the request path and its parameters via the `Path and Params` fields. Access to the template file that should be rendered via the `Tmpl` field. Access to the template data that should be rendered inside the template file via `Data` field. Access to the template layout via the `Layout` field. Access to the low-level `iris.Context` via the `Ctx` field. Get the relative request path by using the controller's name via `RelPath()`. Get the relative template path directory by using the controller's name via `RelTmpl()`. Flow as you used to, `Controllers` can be registered to any `Party`, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected. Optional `BeginRequest(ctx)` function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data. Optional `EndRequest(ctx)` function to perform any finalization after any method executed. Inheritance, recursively, see for example our `mvc.SessionController/iris.SessionController`, it has the `mvc.Controller/iris.Controller` as an embedded field and it adds its logic to its `BeginRequest`. Source file: https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/v8/mvc/session_controller.go. Read access to the current route via the `Route` field. Support for more than one input arguments (map to dynamic request path parameters). Register one or more relative paths and able to get path parameters, i.e Response via output arguments, optionally, i.e Where `any` means everything, from custom structs to standard language's types-. `Result` is an interface which contains only that function: Dispatch(ctx iris.Context) and Get where HTTP Method function(Post, Put, Delete...). Iris has a very powerful and blazing fast MVC support, you can return any value of any type from a method function and it will be sent to the client as expected. * if `string` then it's the body. * if `string` is the second output argument then it's the content type. * if `int` then it's the status code. * if `bool` is false then it throws 404 not found http error by skipping everything else. * if `error` and not nil then (any type) response will be omitted and error's text with a 400 bad request will be rendered instead. * if `(int, error)` and error is not nil then the response result will be the error's text with the status code as `int`. * if `custom struct` or `interface{}` or `slice` or `map` then it will be rendered as json, unless a `string` content type is following. * if `mvc.Result` then it executes its `Dispatch` function, so good design patters can be used to split the model's logic where needed. The example below is not intended to be used in production but it's a good showcase of some of the return types we saw before; Another good example with a typical folder structure, that many developers are used to work, can be found at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/mvc/overview. By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user. If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller. Follow the examples at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/#mvc At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known parameter and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros. iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx iris.Context) where context comes from github.com/kataras/iris/context. Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet. At the same time, iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, We call them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s). Standard macro types for parameters: if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}. If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e: Besides the fact that iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!. Register a named path parameter function: at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool. Example Code: A path parameter name should contain only alphabetical letters, symbols, containing '_' and numbers are NOT allowed. If route failed to be registered, the app will panic without any warnings if you didn't catch the second return value(error) on .Handle/.Get.... Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good. Run Static Files Example code: More examples can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/beginner/file-server Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route. Example code: iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler. Example code: Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context/context#ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`. All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more. Example code: View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func. Example code: A real example can be found here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/_examples/view/embedding-templates-into-app. Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit. Example code: Note: In case you're wondering, the code behind the view engines derives from the "github.com/kataras/iris/view" package, access to the engines' variables can be granded by "github.com/kataras/iris" package too. Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/v8/view . This example will show how to store and access data from a session. You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not. In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message. Example code: Running the example: Sessions persistence can be achieved using one (or more) `sessiondb`. Example Code: More examples: In this example we will create a small chat between web sockets via browser. Example Server Code: Example Client(javascript) Code: Running the example: But you should have a basic idea of the framework by now, we just scratched the surface. If you enjoy what you just saw and want to learn more, please follow the below links: Examples: Middleware: Home Page:
Package telnet provides TELNET and TELNETS client and server implementations in a style similar to the "net/http" library that is part of the Go standard library, including support for "middleware"; TELNETS is secure TELNET, with the TELNET protocol over a secured TLS (or SSL) connection. ListenAndServe starts a (un-secure) TELNET server with a given address and handler. ListenAndServeTLS starts a (secure) TELNETS server with a given address and handler, using the specified "cert.pem" and "key.pem" files. Example TELNET Client: DialToAndCall creates a (un-secure) TELNET client, which connects to a given address using the specified caller. Example TELNETS Client: DialToAndCallTLS creates a (secure) TELNETS client, which connects to a given address using the specified caller. If you are communicating over the open Internet, you should be using (the secure) TELNETS protocol and ListenAndServeTLS. If you are communicating just on localhost, then using just (the un-secure) TELNET protocol and telnet.ListenAndServe may be OK. If you are not sure which to use, use TELNETS and ListenAndServeTLS. The previous 2 exaple servers were very very simple. Specifically, they just echoed back whatever you submitted to it. If you typed: ... it would send back: (Exactly the same data you sent it.) A more useful TELNET server can be made using the "github.com/talkincode/go-telnet/telsh" sub-package. The `telsh` sub-package provides "middleware" that enables you to create a "shell" interface (also called a "command line interface" or "CLI") which most people would expect when using TELNET OR TELNETS. For example: Note that in the example, so far, we have registered 2 commands: `date` and `animate`. For this to actually work, we need to have code for the `date` and `animate` commands. The actual implemenation for the `date` command could be done like the following: Note that your "real" work is in the `dateHandlerFunc` func. And the actual implementation for the `animate` command could be done as follows: Again, note that your "real" work is in the `animateHandlerFunc` func. If you are using the telnet.ListenAndServeTLS func or the telnet.Server.ListenAndServeTLS method, you will need to supply "cert.pem" and "key.pem" files. If you do not already have these files, the Go soure code contains a tool for generating these files for you. It can be found at: So, for example, if your `$GOROOT` is the "/usr/local/go" directory, then it would be at: If you run the command: ... then you get the help information for "generate_cert.go". Of course, you would replace or set `$GOROOT` with whatever your path actually is. Again, for example, if your `$GOROOT` is the "/usr/local/go" directory, then it would be: To demonstrate the usage of "generate_cert.go", you might run the following to generate certificates that were bound to the hosts `127.0.0.1` and `localhost`: If you are not sure where "generate_cert.go" is on your computer, on Linux and Unix based systems, you might be able to find the file with the command: (If it finds it, it should output the full path to this file.) You can make a simple (un-secure) TELNET client with code like the following: You can make a simple (secure) TELNETS client with code like the following: The TELNET protocol is best known for providing a means of connecting to a remote computer, using a (text-based) shell interface, and being able to interact with it, (more or less) as if you were sitting at that computer. (Shells are also known as command-line interfaces or CLIs.) Although this was the original usage of the TELNET protocol, it can be (and is) used for other purposes as well. The TELNET protocol came from an era in computing when text-based shell interface where the common way of interacting with computers. The common interface for computers during this era was a keyboard and a monochromatic (i.e., single color) text-based monitors called "video terminals". (The word "video" in that era of computing did not refer to things such as movies. But instead was meant to contrast it with paper. In particular, the teletype machines, which were typewriter like devices that had a keyboard, but instead of having a monitor had paper that was printed onto.) In that era, in the early days of office computers, it was rare that an individual would have a computer at their desk. (A single computer was much too expensive.) Instead, there would be a single central computer that everyone would share. The style of computer used (for the single central shared computer) was called a "mainframe". What individuals would have at their desks, instead of their own compuer, would be some type of video terminal. The different types of video terminals had named such as: • VT52 • VT100 • VT220 • VT240 ("VT" in those named was short for "video terminal".) To understand this era, we need to go back a bit in time to what came before it: teletypes. Terminal codes (also sometimes called 'terminal control codes') are used to issue various kinds of commands to the terminal. (Note that 'terminal control codes' are a completely separate concept for 'TELNET commands', and the two should NOT be conflated or confused.) The most common types of 'terminal codes' are the 'ANSI escape codes'. (Although there are other types too.) ANSI escape codes (also sometimes called 'ANSI escape sequences') are a common type of 'terminal code' used to do things such as: • moving the cursor, • erasing the display, • erasing the line, • setting the graphics mode, • setting the foregroup color, • setting the background color, • setting the screen resolution, and • setting keyboard strings. One of the abilities of ANSI escape codes is to set the foreground color. Here is a table showing codes for this: (Note that in the `[]byte` that the first `byte` is the number `27` (which is the "escape" character) where the third and fouth characters are the **not** number literals, but instead character literals `'3'` and whatever.) Another of the abilities of ANSI escape codes is to set the background color. (Note that in the `[]byte` that the first `byte` is the number `27` (which is the "escape" character) where the third and fouth characters are the **not** number literals, but instead character literals `'4'` and whatever.) In Go code, if I wanted to use an ANSI escape code to use a blue background, a white foreground, and bold, I could do that with the ANSI escape code: Note that that start with byte value 27, which we have encoded as hexadecimal as \x1b. Followed by the '[' character. Coming after that is the sub-string "44", which is the code that sets our background color to blue. We follow that with the ';' character (which separates codes). And the after that comes the sub-string "37", which is the code that set our foreground color to white. After that, we follow with another ";" character (which, again, separates codes). And then we follow it the sub-string "1", which is the code that makes things bold. And finally, the ANSI escape sequence is finished off with the 'm' character. To show this in a more complete example, our `dateHandlerFunc` from before could incorporate ANSI escape sequences as follows: Note that in that example, in addition to using the ANSI escape sequence "\x1b[44;37;1m" to set the background color to blue, set the foreground color to white, and make it bold, we also used the ANSI escape sequence "\x1b[0m" to reset the background and foreground colors and boldness back to "normal".
Package jsonapi provides a serializer and deserializer for jsonapi.org spec payloads. You can keep your model structs as is and use struct field tags to indicate to jsonapi how you want your response built or your request deserialzied. What about my relationships? jsonapi supports relationships out of the box and will even side load them in your response into an "included" array--that contains associated objects. jsonapi uses StructField tags to annotate the structs fields that you already have and use in your app and then reads and writes jsonapi.org output based on the instructions you give the library in your jsonapi tags. Example structs using a Blog > Post > Comment structure, jsonapi Tag Reference Value, primary: "primary,<type field output>" This indicates that this is the primary key field for this struct type. Tag value arguments are comma separated. The first argument must be, "primary", and the second must be the name that should appear in the "type" field for all data objects that represent this type of model. Value, attr: "attr,<key name in attributes hash>[,<extra arguments>]" These fields' values should end up in the "attribute" hash for a record. The first argument must be, "attr', and the second should be the name for the key to display in the "attributes" hash for that record. The following extra arguments are also supported: "omitempty": excludes the fields value from the "attribute" hash. "iso8601": uses the ISO8601 timestamp format when serialising or deserialising the time.Time value. Value, relation: "relation,<key name in relationships hash>" Relations are struct fields that represent a one-to-one or one-to-many to other structs. jsonapi will traverse the graph of relationships and marshal or unmarshal records. The first argument must be, "relation", and the second should be the name of the relationship, used as the key in the "relationships" hash for the record. Use the methods below to Marshal and Unmarshal jsonapi.org json payloads. Visit the readme at https://github.com/google/jsonapi
Package spew implements a deep pretty printer for Go data structures to aid in debugging. A quick overview of the additional features spew provides over the built-in printing facilities for Go data types are as follows: There are two different approaches spew allows for dumping Go data structures: This section demonstrates how to quickly get started with spew. See the sections below for further details on formatting and configuration options. To dump a variable with full newlines, indentation, type, and pointer information use Dump, Fdump, or Sdump: Alternatively, if you would prefer to use format strings with a compacted inline printing style, use the convenience wrappers Printf, Fprintf, etc with %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses): Configuration of spew is handled by fields in the ConfigState type. For convenience, all of the top-level functions use a global state available via the spew.Config global. It is also possible to create a ConfigState instance that provides methods equivalent to the top-level functions. This allows concurrent configuration options. See the ConfigState documentation for more details. The following configuration options are available: Indent String to use for each indentation level for Dump functions. It is a single space by default. A popular alternative is "\t". MaxDepth Maximum number of levels to descend into nested data structures. There is no limit by default. DisableMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods. Method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerMethods Disables invocation of error and Stringer interface methods on types which only accept pointer receivers from non-pointer variables. Pointer method invocation is enabled by default. DisablePointerAddresses DisablePointerAddresses specifies whether to disable the printing of pointer addresses. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. DisableCapacities DisableCapacities specifies whether to disable the printing of capacities for arrays, slices, maps and channels. This is useful when diffing data structures in tests. ContinueOnMethod Enables recursion into types after invoking error and Stringer interface methods. Recursion after method invocation is disabled by default. SortKeys Specifies map keys should be sorted before being printed. Use this to have a more deterministic, diffable output. Note that only native types (bool, int, uint, floats, uintptr and string) and types which implement error or Stringer interfaces are supported with other types sorted according to the reflect.Value.String() output which guarantees display stability. Natural map order is used by default. SpewKeys Specifies that, as a last resort attempt, map keys should be spewed to strings and sorted by those strings. This is only considered if SortKeys is true. Simply call spew.Dump with a list of variables you want to dump: You may also call spew.Fdump if you would prefer to output to an arbitrary io.Writer. For example, to dump to standard error: A third option is to call spew.Sdump to get the formatted output as a string: See the Dump example for details on the setup of the types and variables being shown here. Byte (and uint8) arrays and slices are displayed uniquely like the hexdump -C command as shown. Spew provides a custom formatter that implements the fmt.Formatter interface so that it integrates cleanly with standard fmt package printing functions. The formatter is useful for inline printing of smaller data types similar to the standard %v format specifier. The custom formatter only responds to the %v (most compact), %+v (adds pointer addresses), %#v (adds types), or %#+v (adds types and pointer addresses) verb combinations. Any other verbs such as %x and %q will be sent to the the standard fmt package for formatting. In addition, the custom formatter ignores the width and precision arguments (however they will still work on the format specifiers not handled by the custom formatter). The simplest way to make use of the spew custom formatter is to call one of the convenience functions such as spew.Printf, spew.Println, or spew.Printf. The functions have syntax you are most likely already familiar with: See the Index for the full list convenience functions. Double pointer to a uint8: Pointer to circular struct with a uint8 field and a pointer to itself: See the Printf example for details on the setup of variables being shown here. Since it is possible for custom Stringer/error interfaces to panic, spew detects them and handles them internally by printing the panic information inline with the output. Since spew is intended to provide deep pretty printing capabilities on structures, it intentionally does not return any errors.

Package badgedata provides a collection of methods to retreive, store and re-display data from other websites. The intent is to use the displayed data with badgen.net.
Package sessions provides cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for custom session backends. The key features are: Let's start with an example that shows the sessions API in a nutshell: First we initialize a session store calling NewCookieStore() and passing a secret key used to authenticate the session. Inside the handler, we call store.Get() to retrieve an existing session or a new one. Then we set some session values in session.Values, which is a map[interface{}]interface{}. And finally we call session.Save() to save the session in the response. Note that in production code, we should check for errors when calling session.Save(r, w), and either display an error message or otherwise handle it. Save must be called before writing to the response, otherwise the session cookie will not be sent to the client. That's all you need to know for the basic usage. Let's take a look at other options, starting with flash messages. Flash messages are session values that last until read. The term appeared with Ruby On Rails a few years back. When we request a flash message, it is removed from the session. To add a flash, call session.AddFlash(), and to get all flashes, call session.Flashes(). Here is an example: Flash messages are useful to set information to be read after a redirection, like after form submissions. There may also be cases where you want to store a complex datatype within a session, such as a struct. Sessions are serialised using the encoding/gob package, so it is easy to register new datatypes for storage in sessions: As it's not possible to pass a raw type as a parameter to a function, gob.Register() relies on us passing it a value of the desired type. In the example above we've passed it a pointer to a struct and a pointer to a custom type representing a map[string]interface. (We could have passed non-pointer values if we wished.) This will then allow us to serialise/deserialise values of those types to and from our sessions. Note that because session values are stored in a map[string]interface{}, there's a need to type-assert data when retrieving it. We'll use the Person struct we registered above: By default, session cookies last for a month. This is probably too long for some cases, but it is easy to change this and other attributes during runtime. Sessions can be configured individually or the store can be configured and then all sessions saved using it will use that configuration. We access session.Options or store.Options to set a new configuration. The fields are basically a subset of http.Cookie fields. Let's change the maximum age of a session to one week: Sometimes we may want to change authentication and/or encryption keys without breaking existing sessions. The CookieStore supports key rotation, and to use it you just need to set multiple authentication and encryption keys, in pairs, to be tested in order: New sessions will be saved using the first pair. Old sessions can still be read because the first pair will fail, and the second will be tested. This makes it easy to "rotate" secret keys and still be able to validate existing sessions. Note: for all pairs the encryption key is optional; set it to nil or omit it and and encryption won't be used. Multiple sessions can be used in the same request, even with different session backends. When this happens, calling Save() on each session individually would be cumbersome, so we have a way to save all sessions at once: it's sessions.Save(). Here's an example: This is possible because when we call Get() from a session store, it adds the session to a common registry. Save() uses it to save all registered sessions.
Package telnet provides TELNET and TELNETS client and server implementations in a style similar to the "net/http" library that is part of the Go standard library, including support for "middleware"; TELNETS is secure TELNET, with the TELNET protocol over a secured TLS (or SSL) connection. ListenAndServe starts a (un-secure) TELNET server with a given address and handler. ListenAndServeTLS starts a (secure) TELNETS server with a given address and handler, using the specified "cert.pem" and "key.pem" files. Example TELNET Client: DialToAndCall creates a (un-secure) TELNET client, which connects to a given address using the specified caller. Example TELNETS Client: DialToAndCallTLS creates a (secure) TELNETS client, which connects to a given address using the specified caller. If you are communicating over the open Internet, you should be using (the secure) TELNETS protocol and ListenAndServeTLS. If you are communicating just on localhost, then using just (the un-secure) TELNET protocol and telnet.ListenAndServe may be OK. If you are not sure which to use, use TELNETS and ListenAndServeTLS. The previous 2 exaple servers were very very simple. Specifically, they just echoed back whatever you submitted to it. If you typed: ... it would send back: (Exactly the same data you sent it.) A more useful TELNET server can be made using the "github.com/ttreptow/go-telnet/telsh" sub-package. The `telsh` sub-package provides "middleware" that enables you to create a "shell" interface (also called a "command line interface" or "CLI") which most people would expect when using TELNET OR TELNETS. For example: Note that in the example, so far, we have registered 2 commands: `date` and `animate`. For this to actually work, we need to have code for the `date` and `animate` commands. The actual implemenation for the `date` command could be done like the following: Note that your "real" work is in the `dateHandlerFunc` func. And the actual implementation for the `animate` command could be done as follows: Again, note that your "real" work is in the `animateHandlerFunc` func. If you are using the telnet.ListenAndServeTLS func or the telnet.Server.ListenAndServeTLS method, you will need to supply "cert.pem" and "key.pem" files. If you do not already have these files, the Go soure code contains a tool for generating these files for you. It can be found at: So, for example, if your `$GOROOT` is the "/usr/local/go" directory, then it would be at: If you run the command: ... then you get the help information for "generate_cert.go". Of course, you would replace or set `$GOROOT` with whatever your path actually is. Again, for example, if your `$GOROOT` is the "/usr/local/go" directory, then it would be: To demonstrate the usage of "generate_cert.go", you might run the following to generate certificates that were bound to the hosts `127.0.0.1` and `localhost`: If you are not sure where "generate_cert.go" is on your computer, on Linux and Unix based systems, you might be able to find the file with the command: (If it finds it, it should output the full path to this file.)

Package tview implements rich widgets for terminal based user interfaces. The widgets provided with this package are useful for data exploration and data entry. The package implements the following widgets: The package also provides Application which is used to poll the event queue and draw widgets on screen. The following is a very basic example showing a box with the title "Hello, world!": First, we create a box primitive with a border and a title. Then we create an application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when Ctrl-C is pressed. If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any actions performed on them. You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different widgets and how they can be used. Throughout this package, colors are specified using the tcell.Color type. Functions such as tcell.GetColor(), tcell.NewHexColor(), and tcell.NewRGBColor() can be used to create colors from W3C color names or RGB values. Almost all strings which are displayed can contain color tags. Color tags are W3C color names or six hexadecimal digits following a hash tag, wrapped in square brackets. Examples: A color tag changes the color of the characters following that color tag. This applies to almost everything from box titles, list text, form item labels, to table cells. In a TextView, this functionality has to be switched on explicitly. See the TextView documentation for more information. In the rare event that you want to display a string such as "[red]" or "[#00ff1a]" without applying its effect, you need to put an opening square bracket before the closing square bracket. Examples: When primitives are instantiated, they are initialized with colors taken from the global Styles variable. You may change this variable to adapt the look and feel of the primitives to your preferred style. This package supports unicode characters including wide characters. All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are therefore available for all widgets, too. All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types. The tview package is based on https://github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values). This package does not process mouse input (yet).
go-start is a high level web-framework for Go, like Django for Python or Rails for Ruby. Note: Don't use Go on 32 bit systems in production, it has severe memory leaks. (If the documentation URL above doesn't work, then godoc -html has has crashed because of that issue) ## Intro: Features: Planned Features: ## Views: The philosophy for creating HTML views is (unlike Rails/Django) that you should not have to learn yet another language to be able to write templates. There are several very simple template languages out there that reduce program code like logic within the template, but it’s still yet another syntax to learn. In go-start the HTML structure of a page is represented by a structure of type safe Go objects. It should feel like writing HTML but using the syntax of Go. And no, it has nothing to do with the mess of intertwined markup and code in PHP. Example of a static view: Example of a dynamic view: Beside DynamicView there is also a ModelIteratorView. It takes a model.Iterator and creates a dynamic view for every iterated data item: ## Pages and URLs: ## Models: Data is abstacted as models. The same model abstraction and data validation is used for HTML forms and for databases. So a model can be loaded from a database, displayed as an HTML form and saved back to the database after submit. This is not always a good practice, but it shows how easy things can be. A model is a simple Go struct that uses gostart/model types as struct members. Custom model wide validation is done by adding a Validate() method to the struct type: Here is how a HTML form is created that displays input fields for the SignupFormModel: MongoDB is the default database of go-start utilizing Gustavo Niemeyer's great lib mgo (http://labix.org/mgo). Mongo collections and queries are encapsulated to make them compatible with the go-start data model concept, and a little bit easier to use. Example of a collection and document struct: Example query: A new mongo.Document is always created by the corresponding collection object to initialize it with meta information about its collection. This way it is possible to implement Save() or Remove() methods for the document. Example for creating, modifying and saving a document:

Save must be called before writing to the response, otherwise the session cookie will not be sent to the client. Important Note: If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers with context.ClearHandler as or else you will leak memory! An easy way to do this is to wrap the top-level mux when calling http.ListenAndServe: The ClearHandler function is provided by the gorilla/context package. That's all you need to know for the basic usage. Let's take a look at other options, starting with flash messages. Flash messages are session values that last until read. The term appeared with Ruby On Rails a few years back. When we request a flash message, it is removed from the session.
