Content Management

Package artifact provides an interface for working with the Taskcluster Queue's blob artifacts. Blob artifacts are the way that Taskcluster stores and distributes the results of a task and replace the old "S3" type of artifact for storing artifacts in S3. These artifacts have stronger authenticity and integrity guaruntees than the former type. Blob artifacts can be between 1 byte and 5GB if uploaded as a single part upload and between 1 byte and 5TB if uploaded as a multipart upload. To upload this type of artifact, the uploader must compute the artifact's sha256 and size before and after optional gzip compression. The sha256 and size values are used by the Queue to generate a set of requests which get sent back to the uploader which can be used to upload the artifact. This ensures that network interuptions or corruption result in errors when uploading. Once the uploads have completed, the uploader must tell the Queue that the upload is complete. The queue ensures that the sha256 and size values are set as headers on the artifacts in S3 so that downloaded content can be verified. While downloading, the downloader should be counting the number of bytes as well as hashing the incoming artifact to determine the sha256 and size to compare to the expected values on completion of the request. It is imperative that the downloader perform these verifications Interacting with this API correctly is sufficiently complicated that this library is the only supported way to upload or download artifacts using Go. The input and output parameters are various types of specialized io.Reader and io.Writer types. The minimum interface for use in the specific function was chosen. This library does not do any management of the input and output objects. They must be created outside of this library and any cleanup must occur in calling code. The most common output option is likely an ioutil.TempFile() instance. The output must be empty. For methods which require io.Seeker implementing interfaces (e.g. io.ReadWriteSeeker), a check that the output is actually empty happens. For those which which do not require io.Seeker, this requirement is still present. In the case of a method which takes an io.Writer, but the output passed in does implement io.Seeker, this check is also performed. If the passed io.Writer really does not implement io.Seeker, it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure it is refering to an empty resource This package automatically decompresses artifacts which are stored with a content encoding of 'gzip'. In both uploading and downloading, the gzip encoding and decoding is done independently of any gzip encoding by the calling code. This could result in double gzip encoding if a gzip file is passed into Upload() with the gzip argument set to true. This library also includes a command line application. The code for it is located in the cmd/artifact directory. This command line tool can be installed into $GOPATH/bin/artifact by running the command 'go install github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster-lib-artifact-go/cmd/artifact'

Package spade_edge provides a write-only API server for data ingest into the Spade pipeline. It performs light validation, annotation, and manages writes to Kinesis and S3. The service is typically behind an Elastic Load Balancer, which handles concerns such as HTTPS. Standard requests result in a 204 No Content, and the persisted event is annotated with source IP, a generated UUID, and server time.

Package gocui allows to create console user interfaces. Create a new GUI: Set GUI managers: Managers are in charge of GUI's layout and can be used to build widgets. On each iteration of the GUI's main loop, the Layout function of each configured manager is executed. Managers are used to set-up and update the application's main views, being possible to freely change them during execution. Also, it is important to mention that a main loop iteration is executed on each reported event (key-press, mouse event, window resize, etc). GUIs are composed by Views, you can think of it as buffers. Views implement the io.ReadWriter interface, so you can just write to them if you want to modify their content. The same is valid for reading. Create and initialize a view with absolute coordinates: Views can also be created using relative coordinates: Configure keybindings: gocui implements full mouse support that can be enabled with: Mouse events are handled like any other keybinding: IMPORTANT: Views can only be created, destroyed or updated in three ways: from the Layout function within managers, from keybinding callbacks or via *Gui.Update(). The reason for this is that it allows gocui to be concurrent-safe. So, if you want to update your GUI from a goroutine, you must use *Gui.Update(). For example: By default, gocui provides a basic edition mode. This mode can be extended and customized creating a new Editor and assigning it to *View.Editor: DefaultEditor can be taken as example to create your own custom Editor: Colored text: Views allow to add colored text using ANSI colors. For example: For more information, see the examples in folder "_examples/".

Package pubsub implements a longpoll-based publish and subscribe middleware for Caddy, a modern, full-featured, easy-to-use web server. This plugin lets you easily push event notifications to any practical number of web clients. To publish an event, post content that includes a category and body to the “publish” URL configured in the Caddyfile. To subscribe to published events, simply connect your web client to the “subscribe” URL configured in the Caddyfile. To manage the subscription connection, include the small, dependency-free file ps.js in your web application and use the non-blocking methods of a Subscriber instance. This plugin uses longpolling (specifically, golongpoll) to connect clients to the server. The advantages of this are significant. Longpoll connections - are straightforward HTTP/HTTPS - are not thwarted by firewalls and proxies - are supported by virtually all browsers Additionally, this plugin provides a simple web-based interface to publish events, so any software capable of posting content to the Caddy server, such as wget and web browsers, can dispatch information to listening clients. This flexibility allows short-lived applications, such as crontab scripts and CGI scripts, to publish events that are of interest to subscribing web clients. On the downside, longpoll connections are one-direction only. Published events flow only from the server to clients. However, because of this plugin’s simple publishing interface, a web client that receives an event can immediately publish its own response. As with websockets, longpolling requires special care to protect both the server and all connected clients. LONGPOLLING CONSUMES RESOURCES ON THE SERVER. Too many connections to clients can impact server operations. It is important to protect the configured “subscribe” path with some form of authentication such as basic authentication or JWT in order to manage the number of connections that your system will maintain. Be sure to use HTTPS! PUBLISHED EVENTS CAN INSTANTLY REACH A LARGE NUMBER OF CLIENTS. Be sure to require authorization in order to access the configured “publish” path to prevent rogue publishers from dispatching unexpected content to clients or flooding the subscription channels. The basic pubsub directive lets you specify a “publish” path and a corresponding “subscribe” path. This directive can be repeated. Each pubsub block is managed by its own longpoll instance so categories are effectively scoped by directive. For example: The specified paths are virtual; they do not refer to any filesystem resources. When the Caddy server receives a call that matches the publish_path URL, the pubsub plugin responds by checking the request for the url-encoded form fields “category” and “body”. If these form values are sent to the server in a POST request rather than included in the tail of the URL in a GET request, the Content-Type must be “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”. The body value is then dispatched verbatim to all clients that are currently subscribed to the specified category. Structured data is easily dispatched by sending a JSON-encoded value. At its simplest, a publish call might look like In this example, the body “Hello world” is dispatched to all subscribers of the “team” category. When the Caddy server receives a call that matches the subscribe_path URL, the pubsub plugin keeps the connection alive until a publication event of the correct category is returned or the configured time limit is reached. In either case, the client then makes another similar request of the server. This cycle continues until the client page is dismissed. When the longpoll instance detects that the client is no longer responsive it gracefully drops the client from its subscription list. The basic syntax shown above is likely all you will need to configure the pubsub plugin. If some control over the underlying golongpoll package is needed, you can use all or part of the advanced syntax shown here. Any missing fields are replaced with their default values; see the golongpoll documentation for more details. The MaxLongpollTimeoutSeconds subdirective specifies the maximum number of seconds that the longpoll server will keep a client connection alive. The MaxEventBufferSize subdirective specifies the maximum number of events of a particular category that will be kept by the longpoll server. Beyond this limit, events will be dropped even if they have not expired. The EventTimeToLiveSeconds subdirective specifies how long events will be retained by the longpoll server. If the DeleteEventAfterFirstRetrieval subdirective is present then events will be deleted right after they have been dispatched to current subscribers. Here is a sample Caddyfile that can be modified for use in the following example: - Obtain or build a Caddy web server with the pubsub plugin. - Create an example directory and download the files in the repository example directory to it. Make this your default working directory. - Edit the file named Caddyfile. Modify the site address to an appropriate local network address. Ideally, you will use an address that can be accessed from a number of devices on your network. (A local interface, such as 127.0.0.5, will work, but then you will have to simulate multiple devices by opening multiple tabs in your browser.) You may wish to use a non-standard port if you need to avoid interfering with another server. HTTP is used here for the purposes of a local, insecure demonstration. USE HTTPS IN PRODUCTION. The Caddyfile has values for the authorization fields and paths that are used as defaults in the example script, so leaving them as they are will simplify the demonstration. - Launch the Caddy web server from the directory that contains your example Caddyfile. The command might be simply caddy or, if the caddy executable you wish to run is not on the default search path, you will need to qualify the name with its location. - Access the server with the web browsers of a number of devices. Alternatively, open a number of tabs in a single browser and point them to the server. - On each open page, click the “Configure” button and make appropriate changes. Most fields, such as “Auth password” and “URL” are pre-filled to match the values in the sample Caddyfile. You may enter a name in the “Publisher name” field or leave it empty. A blank value will be replaced with a random name like “user_42” the first time you publish an event. - On each open page, click the “Run” button and then the “Start” button. Simulate the publication of events by clicking the “A”, “B”, and “C” buttons from various devices or tab pages. Additionally, you may click the “Auto start” button. This will begin an automatic sequence in which an event is published at random intervals. Published events will be sent to the web server and dispatched to all subscribing pages. These events will be displayed beneath the buttons in a list. A page can publish events even if it does not subscribe to them. The JavaScript file ps.js is included in the example shown above. This script may be included in a web page with the following line: The script is small and dependency-free and should be easy to modify if needed. Within your application code, instantiate a Subscriber instance as follows: The parameters are: - category: a short string that identifies the event category to which to subscribe - url: the subscribe_path configured in the Caddyfile (in the example above, this is “/psdemo/subscribe”) - callback: this is a function that is called (with the published body and server timestamp) for each event of the specified category - authorization: a string like “Basic c3Vic2NyaWJlOjEyMw==” that will be sent as an authorization header. - options: an object that contains the fields timeout (seconds, default 45), successDelay (milliseconds, default 10), errorDelay (milliseconds, default 3000), and json (boolean, true if event bodies are JSON-encoded and should be automatically decoded, default false). More details can be found in the comments in the ps.js file. To start the subscription, call To end the subscription, call Publish an event as follows: The parameters are: - category: a short string that identifies the event category of the published event - url: the publish_path configured in the Caddyfile (in the example above, this is “/psdemo/publish”) - body: this is the text that will be dispatched to all subscribers of events with the specified category; this text is often a JSON-encoded object - authorization: a string like “Basic cHVibGlzaDoxMjM=” that will be sent as an authorization header. A variation of the ps.publish() function is In this case, body can be any JSON-encodable value such as an array or an object. When subscribing to events that are published this way, it is convenient to set the “json” field of the options argument of ps.Subscriber() to true so that the event body is automatically decoded.

Package saml contains a partial implementation of the SAML standard in golang. SAML is a standard for identity federation, i.e. either allowing a third party to authenticate your users or allowing third parties to rely on us to authenticate their users. In SAML parlance an Identity Provider (IDP) is a service that knows how to authenticate users. A Service Provider (SP) is a service that delegates authentication to an IDP. If you are building a service where users log in with someone else's credentials, then you are a Service Provider. This package supports implementing both service providers and identity providers. The core package contains the implementation of SAML. The package samlsp provides helper middleware suitable for use in Service Provider applications. The package samlidp provides a rudimentary IDP service that is useful for testing or as a starting point for other integrations. Version 0.4.0 introduces a few breaking changes to the _samlsp_ package in order to make the package more extensible, and to clean up the interfaces a bit. The default behavior remains the same, but you can now provide interface implementations of _RequestTracker_ (which tracks pending requests), _Session_ (which handles maintaining a session) and _OnError_ which handles reporting errors. Public fields of _samlsp.Middleware_ have changed, so some usages may require adjustment. See [issue 231](https://github.com/crewjam/saml/issues/231) for details. The option to provide an IDP metadata URL has been deprecated. Instead, we recommend that you use the `FetchMetadata()` function, or fetch the metadata yourself and use the new `ParseMetadata()` function, and pass the metadata in _samlsp.Options.IDPMetadata_. Similarly, the _HTTPClient_ field is now deprecated because it was only used for fetching metdata, which is no longer directly implemented. The fields that manage how cookies are set are deprecated as well. To customize how cookies are managed, provide custom implementation of _RequestTracker_ and/or _Session_, perhaps by extending the default implementations. The deprecated fields have not been removed from the Options structure, but will be in future. In particular we have deprecated the following fields in _samlsp.Options_: - `Logger` - This was used to emit errors while validating, which is an anti-pattern. - `IDPMetadataURL` - Instead use `FetchMetadata()` - `HTTPClient` - Instead pass httpClient to FetchMetadata - `CookieMaxAge` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider - `CookieName` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider - `CookieDomain` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider - `CookieDomain` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider Let us assume we have a simple web application to protect. We'll modify this application so it uses SAML to authenticate users. ```golang package main import ( ) ``` Each service provider must have an self-signed X.509 key pair established. You can generate your own with something like this: We will use `samlsp.Middleware` to wrap the endpoint we want to protect. Middleware provides both an `http.Handler` to serve the SAML specific URLs and a set of wrappers to require the user to be logged in. We also provide the URL where the service provider can fetch the metadata from the IDP at startup. In our case, we'll use [samltest.id](https://samltest.id/), an identity provider designed for testing. ```golang package main import ( ) ``` Next we'll have to register our service provider with the identity provider to establish trust from the service provider to the IDP. For [samltest.id](https://samltest.id/), you can do something like: Navigate to https://samltest.id/upload.php and upload the file you fetched. Now you should be able to authenticate. The flow should look like this: 1. You browse to `localhost:8000/hello` 1. The middleware redirects you to `https://samltest.id/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO` 1. samltest.id prompts you for a username and password. 1. samltest.id returns you an HTML document which contains an HTML form setup to POST to `localhost:8000/saml/acs`. The form is automatically submitted if you have javascript enabled. 1. The local service validates the response, issues a session cookie, and redirects you to the original URL, `localhost:8000/hello`. 1. This time when `localhost:8000/hello` is requested there is a valid session and so the main content is served. Please see `example/idp/` for a substantially complete example of how to use the library and helpers to be an identity provider. The SAML standard is huge and complex with many dark corners and strange, unused features. This package implements the most commonly used subset of these features required to provide a single sign on experience. The package supports at least the subset of SAML known as [interoperable SAML](http://saml2int.org). This package supports the Web SSO profile. Message flows from the service provider to the IDP are supported using the HTTP Redirect binding and the HTTP POST binding. Message flows from the IDP to the service provider are supported via the HTTP POST binding. The package can produce signed SAML assertions, and can validate both signed and encrypted SAML assertions. It does not support signed or encrypted requests. The _RelayState_ parameter allows you to pass user state information across the authentication flow. The most common use for this is to allow a user to request a deep link into your site, be redirected through the SAML login flow, and upon successful completion, be directed to the originally requested link, rather than the root. Unfortunately, _RelayState_ is less useful than it could be. Firstly, it is not authenticated, so anything you supply must be signed to avoid XSS or CSRF. Secondly, it is limited to 80 bytes in length, which precludes signing. (See section 3.6.3.1 of SAMLProfiles.) The SAML specification is a collection of PDFs (sadly): - [SAMLCore](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-core-2.0-os.pdf) defines data types. - [SAMLBindings](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-bindings-2.0-os.pdf) defines the details of the HTTP requests in play. - [SAMLProfiles](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-profiles-2.0-os.pdf) describes data flows. - [SAMLConformance](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-conformance-2.0-os.pdf) includes a support matrix for various parts of the protocol. [SAMLtest](https://samltest.id/) is a testing ground for SAML service and identity providers. Please do not report security issues in the issue tracker. Rather, please contact me directly at ross@kndr.org ([PGP Key `78B6038B3B9DFB88`](https://keybase.io/crewjam)).

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. The draw2d package (https://github.com/llgcode/draw2d) is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the `contrib` directory.

It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library (http://www.fpdf.org/) created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. • Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. This example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

See the tutorials in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test" is the production of the tutorial PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. See tutorial 7 for an example. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. • Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool.

Package gupnp provides an API and GUI to control DLNA/UPnP devices like network TV and radio. Its goal is to locate media servers (with files) and media players. You can then send commands to players (volume, pause...) and let them play the selected music or video content. Can also be used as just a limited remote controler for supported renderers. A database of multimedia content, that other devices can play media from. Plays stuff, that is it makes sound and in required cases shows moving images. A device that works as a remote control, can play stop, skip, pause, change loudness, brightness etcetera. The manager keeps a server and a renderer as current target devices to use for fast user actions.

Package gocui allows to create console user interfaces. Create a new GUI: Set GUI managers: Managers are in charge of GUI's layout and can be used to build widgets. On each iteration of the GUI's main loop, the Layout function of each configured manager is executed. Managers are used to set-up and update the application's main views, being possible to freely change them during execution. Also, it is important to mention that a main loop iteration is executed on each reported event (key-press, mouse event, window resize, etc). GUIs are composed by Views, you can think of it as buffers. Views implement the io.ReadWriter interface, so you can just write to them if you want to modify their content. The same is valid for reading. Create and initialize a view with absolute coordinates: Views can also be created using relative coordinates: Configure keybindings: gocui implements full mouse support that can be enabled with: Mouse events are handled like any other keybinding: IMPORTANT: Views can only be created, destroyed or updated in three ways: from the Layout function within managers, from keybinding callbacks or via *Gui.Execute(). The reason for this is that it allows gocui to be concurrent-safe. So, if you want to update your GUI from a goroutine, you must use *Gui.Execute(). For example: By default, gocui provides a basic edition mode. This mode can be extended and customized creating a new Editor and assigning it to *View.Editor: DefaultEditor can be taken as example to create your own custom Editor: Colored text: Views allow to add colored text using ANSI colors. For example: For more information, see the examples in folder "_examples/".

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs.

Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples.

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

Package saml contains a partial implementation of the SAML standard in golang. SAML is a standard for identity federation, i.e. either allowing a third party to authenticate your users or allowing third parties to rely on us to authenticate their users. In SAML parlance an Identity Provider (IDP) is a service that knows how to authenticate users. A Service Provider (SP) is a service that delegates authentication to an IDP. If you are building a service where users log in with someone else's credentials, then you are a Service Provider. This package supports implementing both service providers and identity providers. The core package contains the implementation of SAML. The package samlsp provides helper middleware suitable for use in Service Provider applications. The package samlidp provides a rudimentary IDP service that is useful for testing or as a starting point for other integrations. Version 0.4.0 introduces a few breaking changes to the _samlsp_ package in order to make the package more extensible, and to clean up the interfaces a bit. The default behavior remains the same, but you can now provide interface implementations of _RequestTracker_ (which tracks pending requests), _Session_ (which handles maintaining a session) and _OnError_ which handles reporting errors. Public fields of _samlsp.Middleware_ have changed, so some usages may require adjustment. See [issue 231](https://github.com/bneil/saml/issues/231) for details. The option to provide an IDP metadata URL has been deprecated. Instead, we recommend that you use the `FetchMetadata()` function, or fetch the metadata yourself and use the new `ParseMetadata()` function, and pass the metadata in _samlsp.Options.IDPMetadata_. Similarly, the _HTTPClient_ field is now deprecated because it was only used for fetching metdata, which is no longer directly implemented. The fields that manage how cookies are set are deprecated as well. To customize how cookies are managed, provide custom implementation of _RequestTracker_ and/or _Session_, perhaps by extending the default implementations. The deprecated fields have not been removed from the Options structure, but will be in future. In particular we have deprecated the following fields in _samlsp.Options_: - `Logger` - This was used to emit errors while validating, which is an anti-pattern. - `IDPMetadataURL` - Instead use `FetchMetadata()` - `HTTPClient` - Instead pass httpClient to FetchMetadata - `CookieMaxAge` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider - `CookieName` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider - `CookieDomain` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider - `CookieDomain` - Instead assign a custom CookieRequestTracker or CookieSessionProvider Let us assume we have a simple web application to protect. We'll modify this application so it uses SAML to authenticate users. ```golang package main import ( ) ``` Each service provider must have an self-signed X.509 key pair established. You can generate your own with something like this: We will use `samlsp.Middleware` to wrap the endpoint we want to protect. Middleware provides both an `http.Handler` to serve the SAML specific URLs and a set of wrappers to require the user to be logged in. We also provide the URL where the service provider can fetch the metadata from the IDP at startup. In our case, we'll use [samltest.id](https://samltest.id/), an identity provider designed for testing. ```golang package main import ( ) ``` Next we'll have to register our service provider with the identity provider to establish trust from the service provider to the IDP. For [samltest.id](https://samltest.id/), you can do something like: Navigate to https://samltest.id/upload.php and upload the file you fetched. Now you should be able to authenticate. The flow should look like this: 1. You browse to `localhost:8000/hello` 1. The middleware redirects you to `https://samltest.id/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO` 1. samltest.id prompts you for a username and password. 1. samltest.id returns you an HTML document which contains an HTML form setup to POST to `localhost:8000/saml/acs`. The form is automatically submitted if you have javascript enabled. 1. The local service validates the response, issues a session cookie, and redirects you to the original URL, `localhost:8000/hello`. 1. This time when `localhost:8000/hello` is requested there is a valid session and so the main content is served. Please see `example/idp/` for a substantially complete example of how to use the library and helpers to be an identity provider. The SAML standard is huge and complex with many dark corners and strange, unused features. This package implements the most commonly used subset of these features required to provide a single sign on experience. The package supports at least the subset of SAML known as [interoperable SAML](http://saml2int.org). This package supports the Web SSO profile. Message flows from the service provider to the IDP are supported using the HTTP Redirect binding and the HTTP POST binding. Message flows from the IDP to the service provider are supported via the HTTP POST binding. The package can produce signed SAML assertions, and can validate both signed and encrypted SAML assertions. It does not support signed or encrypted requests. The _RelayState_ parameter allows you to pass user state information across the authentication flow. The most common use for this is to allow a user to request a deep link into your site, be redirected through the SAML login flow, and upon successful completion, be directed to the originally requested link, rather than the root. Unfortunately, _RelayState_ is less useful than it could be. Firstly, it is not authenticated, so anything you supply must be signed to avoid XSS or CSRF. Secondly, it is limited to 80 bytes in length, which precludes signing. (See section 3.6.3.1 of SAMLProfiles.) The SAML specification is a collection of PDFs (sadly): - [SAMLCore](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-core-2.0-os.pdf) defines data types. - [SAMLBindings](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-bindings-2.0-os.pdf) defines the details of the HTTP requests in play. - [SAMLProfiles](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-profiles-2.0-os.pdf) describes data flows. - [SAMLConformance](http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-conformance-2.0-os.pdf) includes a support matrix for various parts of the protocol. [SAMLtest](https://samltest.id/) is a testing ground for SAML service and identity providers. Please do not report security issues in the issue tracker. Rather, please contact me directly at ross@kndr.org ([PGP Key `78B6038B3B9DFB88`](https://keybase.io/crewjam)).

Package gocui allows to create console user interfaces. Create a new GUI: Set GUI managers: Managers are in charge of GUI's layout and can be used to build widgets. On each iteration of the GUI's main loop, the Layout function of each configured manager is executed. Managers are used to set-up and update the application's main views, being possible to freely change them during execution. Also, it is important to mention that a main loop iteration is executed on each reported event (key-press, mouse event, window resize, etc). GUIs are composed by Views, you can think of it as buffers. Views implement the io.ReadWriter interface, so you can just write to them if you want to modify their content. The same is valid for reading. Create and initialize a view with absolute coordinates: Views can also be created using relative coordinates: Configure keybindings: gocui implements full mouse support that can be enabled with: Mouse events are handled like any other keybinding: IMPORTANT: Views can only be created, destroyed or updated in three ways: from the Layout function within managers, from keybinding callbacks or via *Gui.Update(). The reason for this is that it allows gocui to be concurrent-safe. So, if you want to update your GUI from a goroutine, you must use *Gui.Update(). For example: By default, gocui provides a basic edition mode. This mode can be extended and customized creating a new Editor and assigning it to *View.Editor: DefaultEditor can be taken as example to create your own custom Editor: Colored text: Views allow to add colored text using ANSI colors. For example: For more information, see the examples in folder "_examples/".

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

Package 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: 8.5.7 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 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/master/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/master/_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/master/_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/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/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/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: But you should have a basic idea of the framework by now, we just scratched the surface.

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.

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.

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.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. The draw2d package (https://github.com/llgcode/draw2d) is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the `contrib` directory. Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should • be compatible with the MIT License • be properly documented • be formatted with `go fmt` • include an example in fpdf_test.go if appropriate • conform to the standards of golint (https://github.com/golang/lint) and go vet (https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet), that is, `golint .` and `go vet .` should not generate any warnings • not diminish test coverage (https://blog.golang.org/cover) Pull requests (https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) work nicely as a means of contributing your changes. gofpdf is released under the MIT License. It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library (http://www.fpdf.org/) created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. • Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. This example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

Package gocui allows to create console user interfaces. Create a new GUI: Set GUI managers: Managers are in charge of GUI's layout and can be used to build widgets. On each iteration of the GUI's main loop, the Layout function of each configured manager is executed. Managers are used to set-up and update the application's main views, being possible to freely change them during execution. Also, it is important to mention that a main loop iteration is executed on each reported event (key-press, mouse event, window resize, etc). GUIs are composed by Views, you can think of it as buffers. Views implement the io.ReadWriter interface, so you can just write to them if you want to modify their content. The same is valid for reading. Create and initialize a view with absolute coordinates: Views can also be created using relative coordinates: Configure keybindings: gocui implements full mouse support that can be enabled with: Mouse events are handled like any other keybinding: IMPORTANT: Views can only be created, destroyed or updated in three ways: from the Layout function within managers, from keybinding callbacks or via *Gui.Update(). The reason for this is that it allows gocui to be concurrent-safe. So, if you want to update your GUI from a goroutine, you must use *Gui.Update(). For example: By default, gocui provides a basic edition mode. This mode can be extended and customized creating a new Editor and assigning it to *View.Editor: DefaultEditor can be taken as example to create your own custom Editor: Colored text: Views allow to add colored text using ANSI colors. For example: For more information, see the examples in folder "_examples/".

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. The draw2d package (https://github.com/llgcode/draw2d) is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the `contrib` directory. Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should • be compatible with the MIT License • be properly documented • be formatted with `go fmt` • include an example in fpdf_test.go if appropriate • conform to the standards of golint (https://github.com/golang/lint) and go vet (https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet), that is, `golint .` and `go vet .` should not generate any warnings • not diminish test coverage (https://blog.golang.org/cover) Pull requests (https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) work nicely as a means of contributing your changes. gofpdf is released under the MIT License. It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library (http://www.fpdf.org/) created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. • Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. This example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

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 goa provides the runtime support for goa microservices. goa service development begins with writing the *design* of a service. The design is described using the goa language implemented by the github.com/goadesign/goa/design/apidsl package. The `goagen` tool consumes the metadata produced from executing the design language to generate service specific code that glues the underlying HTTP server with action specific code and data structures. The goa package contains supporting functionality for the generated code including basic request and response state management through the RequestData and ResponseData structs, error handling via the service and controller ErrorHandler field, middleware support via the Middleware data structure as well as decoding and encoding algorithms. The RequestData and ResponseData structs provides access to the request and response state. goa request handlers also accept a golang.org/x/net/Context interface as first parameter so that deadlines and cancelation signals may easily be implemented. The request state exposes the underlying http.Request object as well as the deserialized payload (request body) and parameters (both path and querystring parameters). Generated action specific contexts wrap the context.Context, ResponseData and RequestData data structures. They expose properly typed fields that correspond to the request parameters and body data structure descriptions appearing in the design. The response state exposes the response status and body length as well as the underlying ResponseWriter. Action contexts provide action specific helper methods that write the responses as described in the design optionally taking an instance of the media type for responses that contain a body. Here is an example showing an "update" action corresponding to following design (extract): The action signature generated by goagen is: where UpdateBottleContext is: and implements: The definitions of the Bottle and UpdateBottlePayload data structures are ommitted for brievity. There is one controller interface generated per resource defined via the design language. The interface exposes the controller actions as well as methods to set controller specific middleware and error handlers (see below). User code must provide data structures that implement these interfaces when mounting a controller onto a service. The controller data structure should include an anonymous field of type *goa.Controller which takes care of implementing the middleware and error handler handling. The controller action methods generated by goagen such as the Update method of the BottleController interface shown above all return an error value. The controller or service-wide error handler (if no controller specific error handler) function is invoked whenever the value returned by a controller action is not nil. The handler gets both the request context and the error as argument. The default handler implementation returns a response with status code 500 containing the error message in the body. A different error handler can be specificied using the SetErrorHandler function on either a controller or service wide. goa comes with an alternative error handler - the TerseErrorHandler - which also returns a response with status 500 but does not write the error message to the body of the response. A goa middleware is a function that takes and returns a Handler. A Handler is a the low level function which handles incoming HTTP requests. goagen generates the handlers code so each handler creates the action specific context and calls the controller action with it. Middleware can be added to a goa service or a specific controller using the Service type Use method. goa comes with a few stock middleware that handle common needs such as logging, panic recovery or using the RequestID header to trace requests across multiple services. The goa design language documented in the dsl package makes it possible to attach validations to data structure definitions. One specific type of validation consists of defining the format that a data structure string field must follow. Example of formats include email, data time, hostnames etc. The ValidateFormat function provides the implementation for the format validation invoked from the code generated by goagen. The goa design language makes it possible to specify the encodings supported by the API both as input (Consumes) and output (Produces). goagen uses that information to registed the corresponding packages with the service encoders and decoders via the SetEncoder and SetDecoder methods. The service exposes the Decode, DecodeRequest, Encode and EncodeResponse that implement a simple content type negotiation algorithm for picking the right encoder for the "Accept" request header. Package goa standardizes on structured error responses: a request that fails because of invalid input or unexpected condition produces a response that contains one or more structured error(s). Each error object has three keys: a id (number), a title and a message. The title for a given id is always the same, the intent is to provide a human friendly categorization. The message is specific to the error occurrence and provides additional details that often include contextual information (name of parameters etc.). The basic data structure backing errors is TypedError which simply contains the id and message. Multiple errors (not just TypedError instances) can be encapsulated in a MultiError. Both TypedError and MultiError implement the error interface, the Error methods return valid JSON that can be written directly to a response body. The code generated by goagen calls the helper functions exposed in this file when it encounters invalid data (wrong type, validation errors etc.) such as InvalidParamTypeError, InvalidAttributeTypeError etc. These methods take and return an error which is a MultiError that gets built over time. The final MultiError object then gets serialized into the response and sent back to the client. The response status code is inferred from the type wrapping the error object: a BadRequestError produces a 400 status code while any other error produce a 500. This behavior can be overridden by setting a custom ErrorHandler in the application.

Package gocui allows to create console user interfaces. Create a new GUI: Set GUI managers: Managers are in charge of GUI's layout and can be used to build widgets. On each iteration of the GUI's main loop, the Layout function of each configured manager is executed. Managers are used to set-up and update the application's main views, being possible to freely change them during execution. Also, it is important to mention that a main loop iteration is executed on each reported event (key-press, mouse event, window resize, etc). GUIs are composed by Views, you can think of it as buffers. Views implement the io.ReadWriter interface, so you can just write to them if you want to modify their content. The same is valid for reading. Create and initialize a view with absolute coordinates: Views can also be created using relative coordinates: Configure keybindings: gocui implements full mouse support that can be enabled with: Mouse events are handled like any other keybinding: IMPORTANT: Views can only be created, destroyed or updated in three ways: from the Layout function within managers, from keybinding callbacks or via *Gui.Update(). The reason for this is that it allows gocui to be concurrent-safe. So, if you want to update your GUI from a goroutine, you must use *Gui.Update(). For example: By default, gocui provides a basic edition mode. This mode can be extended and customized creating a new Editor and assigning it to *View.Editor: DefaultEditor can be taken as example to create your own custom Editor: Colored text: Views allow to add colored text using ANSI colors. For example: For more information, see the examples in folder "_examples/".

See: LICENSE and https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf/ pj is a simple hierarchical content management system meant to be easy and efficient to deploy. Nodes of various types (Page, File, Link) refer to parent nodes within the system, meaning any node can have children. A node may also represent a 'folder'. Every node except the root node must have a name which is unique at its level of the hierarchy. Implementations can construct or "materialize" the full Path to the resource using the ParentID and name at each level of the hierarchy. Conceptually, Nodes with {ID, ParentID, Name} result in Path, e.g.: The provided sqlite implementation materializes Path using triggers on INSERT or UPDATE operations. Should a node be reassigned to another parent, Path is updated accordingly. Retrieving a Node from the system simply requires having its path - "/reports/2023/q1-budget.xls", making access despite the hierarchy as efficient as a key-value store.

lf is a terminal file manager. Source code can be found in the repository at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf This documentation can either be read from terminal using 'lf -doc' or online at https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gokcehan/lf You can also use 'doc' command (default '<f-1>') inside lf to view the documentation in a pager. A man page with the same content is also available in the repository at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/blob/master/lf.1 You can run 'lf -help' to see descriptions of command line options. The following commands are provided by lf: The following command line commands are provided by lf: The following options can be used to customize the behavior of lf: The following environment variables are exported for shell commands: The following special shell commands are used to customize the behavior of lf when defined: The following commands/keybindings are provided by default: The following additional keybindings are provided by default: If the 'mouse' option is enabled, mouse buttons have the following default effects: Configuration files should be located at: Colors file should be located at: Icons file should be located at: Selection file should be located at: Marks file should be located at: Tags file should be located at: History file should be located at: You can configure these locations with the following variables given with their order of precedences and their default values: A sample configuration file can be found at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/blob/master/etc/lfrc.example This section shows information about builtin commands. Modal commands do not take any arguments, but instead change the operation mode to read their input conveniently, and so they are meant to be assigned to keybindings. Quit lf and return to the shell. Move/scroll the current file selection upwards/downwards by one/half a page/full page. Change the current working directory to the parent directory. If the current file is a directory, then change the current directory to it, otherwise, execute the 'open' command. A default 'open' command is provided to call the default system opener asynchronously with the current file as the argument. A custom 'open' command can be defined to override this default. Change the current working directory to the next/previous jumplist item. Move the current file selection to the top/bottom of the directory. A count can be specified to move to a specific line, for example use `3G` to move to the third line. Move the current file selection to the high/middle/low of the screen. Toggle the selection of the current file or files given as arguments. Reverse the selection of all files in the current directory (i.e. 'toggle' all files). Selections in other directories are not effected by this command. You can define a new command to select all files in the directory by combining 'invert' with 'unselect' (i.e. 'cmd select-all :unselect; invert'), though this will also remove selections in other directories. Reverse the selection (i.e. 'toggle') of all files at or after the current file in the current directory. To select a contiguous block of files, use this command on the first file you want to select. Then, move down to the first file you do *not* want to select (the one after the end of the desired selection) and use this command again. This achieves an effect similar to the visual mode in vim. This command is experimental and may be removed once a better replacement for the visual mode is implemented in 'lf'. If you'd like to experiment with using this command, you should bind it to a key (e.g. 'V') for a better experience. Remove the selection of all files in all directories. Select/unselect files that match the given glob. Calculate the total size for each of the selected directories. Option 'info' should include 'size' and option 'dircounts' should be disabled to show this size. If the total size of a directory is not calculated, it will be shown as '-'. Remove all keybindings associated with the `map` command. This command can be used in the config file to remove the default keybindings. For safety purposes, `:` is left mapped to the `read` command, and `cmap` keybindings are retained so that it is still possible to exit `lf` using `:quit`. If there are no selections, save the path of the current file to the copy buffer, otherwise, copy the paths of selected files. If there are no selections, save the path of the current file to the cut buffer, otherwise, copy the paths of selected files. Copy/Move files in copy/cut buffer to the current working directory. A custom 'paste' command can be defined to override this default. Clear file paths in copy/cut buffer. Synchronize copied/cut files with server. This command is automatically called when required. Draw the screen. This command is automatically called when required. Synchronize the terminal and redraw the screen. Load modified files and directories. This command is automatically called when required. Flush the cache and reload all files and directories. Print given arguments to the message line at the bottom. Print given arguments to the message line at the bottom and also to the log file. Print given arguments to the message line at the bottom as 'errorfmt' and also to the log file. Change the working directory to the given argument. Change the current file selection to the given argument. Remove the current file or selected file(s). A custom 'delete' command can be defined to override this default. Rename the current file using the builtin method. A custom 'rename' command can be defined to override this default. Read the configuration file given in the argument. Simulate key pushes given in the argument. Read a command to evaluate. Read a shell command to execute. Read a shell command to execute piping its standard I/O to the bottom statline. Read a shell command to execute and wait for a key press in the end. Read a shell command to execute asynchronously without standard I/O. Read key(s) to find the appropriate file name match in the forward/backward direction and jump to the next/previous match. Read a pattern to search for a file name match in the forward/backward direction and jump to the next/previous match. Command 'filter' reads a pattern to filter out and only view files matching the pattern. Command 'setfilter' does the same but uses an argument to set the filter immediately. You can supply an argument to 'filter', in order to use that as the starting prompt. Save the current directory as a bookmark assigned to the given key. Change the current directory to the bookmark assigned to the given key. A special bookmark "'" holds the previous directory after a 'mark-load', 'cd', or 'select' command. Remove a bookmark assigned to the given key. Tag a file with '*' or a single width character given in the argument. You can define a new tag clearing command by combining 'tag' with 'tag-toggle' (i.e. 'cmd tag-clear :tag; tag-toggle'). Tag a file with '*' or a single width character given in the argument if the file is untagged, otherwise remove the tag. The prompt character specifies which of the several command-line modes you are in. For example, the 'read' command takes you to the ':' mode. When the cursor is at the first character in ':' mode, pressing one of the keys '!', '$', '%', or '&' takes you to the corresponding mode. You can go back with 'cmd-delete-back' ('<backspace>' by default). The command line commands should be mostly compatible with readline keybindings. A character refers to a unicode code point, a word consists of letters and digits, and a unix word consists of any non-blank characters. Quit command line mode and return to normal mode. Autocomplete the current word. Autocomplete the current word with menu selection. You need to assign keys to these commands (e.g. 'cmap <tab> cmd-menu-complete; cmap <backtab> cmd-menu-complete-back'). You can use the assigned keys assigned to display the menu and then cycle through completion options. Accept the currently selected match in menu completion and close the menu. Execute the current line. Interrupt the current shell-pipe command and return to the normal mode. Go to next/previous item in the history. Move the cursor to the left/right. Move the cursor to the beginning/end of line. Delete the next character. Delete the previous character. When at the beginning of a prompt, returns either to normal mode or to ':' mode. Delete everything up to the beginning/end of line. Delete the previous unix word. Paste the buffer content containing the last deleted item. Transpose the positions of last two characters/words. Move the cursor by one word in forward/backward direction. Delete the next word in forward direction. Capitalize/uppercase/lowercase the current word and jump to the next word. List all key mappings in normal mode or command-line editing mode. List all custom commands defined using the `cmd` command List the contents of the jump list, in order of the most recently visited locations. Each location is marked with the count that can be used with the `jump-prev` and `jump-next` commands (e.g. use `3[` to move three spaces backwards in the jump list). A '>' is used to mark the current location in the jump list. This section shows information about options to customize the behavior. Character ':' is used as the separator for list options '[]int' and '[]string'. When this option is enabled, find command starts matching patterns from the beginning of file names, otherwise, it can match at an arbitrary position. Automatically quit server when there are no clients left connected. Format string of the box drawing characters enabled by the `drawbox` option. Set the path of a cleaner file. The file should be executable. This file is called if previewing is enabled, the previewer is set, and the previously selected file had its preview cache disabled. The following arguments are passed to the file, (1) current file name, (2) width, (3) height, (4) horizontal position, (5) vertical position of preview pane and (6) next file name to be previewed respectively. Preview cleaning is disabled when the value of this option is left empty. Format strings for highlighting the cursor. `cursoractivefmt` applies in the current directory pane, `cursorparentfmt` applies in panes that show parents of the current directory, and `cursorpreviewfmt` applies in panes that preview directories. The default is to make the active cursor and the parent directory cursor inverted. The preview cursor is underlined. Some other possibilities to consider for the preview or parent cursors: an empty string for no cursor, "\033[7;2m" for dimmed inverted text (visibility varies by terminal), "\033[7;90m" for inverted text with grey (aka "brightblack") background. If the format string contains the characters `%s`, it is interpreted as a format string for `fmt.Sprintf`. Such a string should end with the terminal reset sequence. For example, "\033[4m%s\033[0m" has the same effect as "\033[4m". Cache directory contents. When this option is enabled, directory sizes show the number of items inside instead of the total size of the directory, which needs to be calculated for each directory using 'calcdirsize'. This information needs to be calculated by reading the directory and counting the items inside. Therefore, this option is disabled by default for performance reasons. This option only has an effect when 'info' has a 'size' field and the pane is wide enough to show the information. 999 items are counted per directory at most, and bigger directories are shown as '999+'. Show directories first above regular files. Show only directories. If enabled, directories will also be passed to the previewer script. This allows custom previews for directories. Draw boxes around panes with box drawing characters. Format string of file name when creating duplicate files. With the default format, copying a file `abc.txt` to the same directory will result in a duplicate file called `abc.txt.~1~`. Special expansions are provided, '%f' as the file name, '%b' for basename (file name without extension), '%e' as the extension (including the dot) and '%n' as the number of duplicates. Format string of error messages shown in the bottom message line. If the format string contains the characters `%s`, it is interpreted as a format string for `fmt.Sprintf`. Such a string should end with the terminal reset sequence. For example, "\033[4m%s\033[0m" has the same effect as "\033[4m". File separator used in environment variables 'fs' and 'fx'. Number of characters prompted for the find command. When this value is set to 0, find command prompts until there is only a single match left. When this option is enabled, search command patterns are considered as globs, otherwise they are literals. With globbing, '*' matches any sequence, '?' matches any character, and '[...]' or '[^...]' matches character sets or ranges. Otherwise, these characters are interpreted as they are. Show hidden files. On Unix systems, hidden files are determined by the value of 'hiddenfiles'. On Windows, only files with hidden attributes are considered hidden files. List of hidden file glob patterns. Patterns can be given as relative or absolute paths. Globbing supports the usual special characters, '*' to match any sequence, '?' to match any character, and '[...]' or '[^...]' to match character sets or ranges. In addition, if a pattern starts with '!', then its matches are excluded from hidden files. To add multiple patterns, use ':' as a separator. Example: '.*:lost+found:*.bak' Save command history. Show icons before each item in the list. Sets 'IFS' variable in shell commands. It works by adding the assignment to the beginning of the command string as "IFS='...'; ...". The reason is that 'IFS' variable is not inherited by the shell for security reasons. This method assumes a POSIX shell syntax and so it can fail for non-POSIX shells. This option has no effect when the value is left empty. This option does not have any effect on Windows. Ignore case in sorting and search patterns. Ignore diacritics in sorting and search patterns. Jump to the first match after each keystroke during searching. Apply filter pattern after each keystroke during filtering. List of information shown for directory items at the right side of pane. Currently supported information types are 'size', 'time', 'atime', and 'ctime'. Information is only shown when the pane width is more than twice the width of information. Format string of the file time shown in the info column when it matches this year. Format string of the file time shown in the info column when it doesn't match this year. Send mouse events as input. Show the position number for directory items at the left side of pane. When 'relativenumber' option is enabled, only the current line shows the absolute position and relative positions are shown for the rest. Format string of the position number for each line. Set the interval in seconds for periodic checks of directory updates. This works by periodically calling the 'load' command. Note that directories are already updated automatically in many cases. This option can be useful when there is an external process changing the displayed directory and you are not doing anything in lf. Periodic checks are disabled when the value of this option is set to zero. List of attributes that are preserved when copying files. Currently supported attributes are 'mode' (i.a. access mode) and 'timestamps' (i.e. modification time and access time). Note: Preserving other attribute like ownership of change/birth timestamp is desireable, but not portably supported in go. Show previews of files and directories at the right most pane. If the file has more lines than the preview pane, rest of the lines are not read. Files containing the null character (U+0000) in the read portion are considered binary files and displayed as 'binary'. Set the path of a previewer file to filter the content of regular files for previewing. The file should be executable. The following arguments are passed to the file, (1) current file name, (2) width, (3) height, (4) horizontal position, and (5) vertical position of preview pane respectively. SIGPIPE signal is sent when enough lines are read. If the previewer returns a non-zero exit code, then the preview cache for the given file is disabled. This means that if the file is selected in the future, the previewer is called once again. Preview filtering is disabled and files are displayed as they are when the value of this option is left empty. Format string of the prompt shown in the top line. Special expansions are provided, '%u' as the user name, '%h' as the host name, '%w' as the working directory, '%d' as the working directory with a trailing path separator, '%f' as the file name, and '%F' as the current filter. '%S' may be used once and will provide a spacer so that the following parts are right aligned on the screen. Home folder is shown as '~' in the working directory expansion. Directory names are automatically shortened to a single character starting from the left most parent when the prompt does not fit to the screen. List of ratios of pane widths. Number of items in the list determines the number of panes in the ui. When 'preview' option is enabled, the right most number is used for the width of preview pane. Show the position number relative to the current line. When 'number' is enabled, current line shows the absolute position, otherwise nothing is shown. Reverse the direction of sort. List of information shown in status line ruler. Currently supported information types are 'acc', 'progress', 'selection', 'filter', 'ind', 'df' and names starting with 'lf_'. `acc` shows the pressed keys (e.g. for bindings with multiple key presses or counts given to bindings). `progress` shows the progress of file operations (e.g. copying a large directory). `selection` shows the number of files that are selected, or designated for being cut/copied. `filter` shows 'F' if a filter is currently being applied. `ind` shows the current position of the cursor as well as the number of files in the current directory. `df` shows the amount of free disk space remaining. Names starting with `lf_` show the value of environment variables exported by lf. This is useful for displaying the current settings (e.g. `lf_selmode` displays the current setting for the `selmode` option). User defined options starting with `lf_user_` are also supported, so it is possible to display information set from external sources. Selection mode for commands. When set to 'all' it will use the selected files from all directories. When set to 'dir' it will only use the selected files in the current directory. Minimum number of offset lines shown at all times in the top and the bottom of the screen when scrolling. The current line is kept in the middle when this option is set to a large value that is bigger than the half of number of lines. A smaller offset can be used when the current file is close to the beginning or end of the list to show the maximum number of items. Shell executable to use for shell commands. Shell commands are executed as 'shell shellopts shellflag command -- arguments'. Command line flag used to pass shell commands. List of shell options to pass to the shell executable. Override 'ignorecase' option when the pattern contains an uppercase character. This option has no effect when 'ignorecase' is disabled. Override 'ignoredia' option when the pattern contains a character with diacritic. This option has no effect when 'ignoredia' is disabled. Sort type for directories. Currently supported sort types are 'natural', 'name', 'size', 'time', 'ctime', 'atime', and 'ext'. Format string of the file info shown in the bottom left corner. Special expansions are provided, '%p' as the file permissions, '%c' as the link count, '%u' as the user, '%g' as the group, '%s' as the file size, '%t' as the last modified time, and '%l' as the link target. The `|` character splits the format string into sections. Any section containing a failed expansion (result is a blank string) is discarded and not shown. Number of space characters to show for horizontal tabulation (U+0009) character. Format string of the tags. If the format string contains the characters `%s`, it is interpreted as a format string for `fmt.Sprintf`. Such a string should end with the terminal reset sequence. For example, "\033[4m%s\033[0m" has the same effect as "\033[4m". Marks to be considered temporary (e.g. 'abc' refers to marks 'a', 'b', and 'c'). These marks are not synced to other clients and they are not saved in the bookmarks file. Note that the special bookmark "'" is always treated as temporary and it does not need to be specified. Format string of the file modification time shown in the bottom line. Truncate character shown at the end when the file name does not fit to the pane. When a filename is too long to be shown completely, the available space is partitioned in two pieces. truncatepct defines a fraction (in percent between 0 and 100) for the size of the first piece, which will show the beginning of the filename. The second piece will show the end of the filename and will use the rest of the available space. Both pieces are separated by the truncation character (truncatechar). A value of 100 will only show the beginning of the filename, while a value of 0 will only show the end of the filename, e.g.: - `set truncatepct 100` -> "very-long-filename-tr~" (default) - `set truncatepct 50` -> "very-long-f~-truncated" - `set truncatepct 0` -> "~ng-filename-truncated" String shown after commands of shell-wait type. Searching can wrap around the file list. Scrolling can wrap around the file list. Any option that is prefixed with 'user_' is a user defined option and can be set to any string. Inside a user defined command the value will be provided in the `lf_user_{option}` environment variable. These options are not used by lf and are not persisted. The following variables are exported for shell commands: These are referred with a '$' prefix on POSIX shells (e.g. '$f'), between '%' characters on Windows cmd (e.g. '%f%'), and with a '$env:' prefix on Windows powershell (e.g. '$env:f'). Current file selection as a full path. Selected file(s) separated with the value of 'filesep' option as full path(s). Selected file(s) (i.e. 'fs') if there are any selected files, otherwise current file selection (i.e. 'f'). Id of the running client. Present working directory. Initial working directory. The value of this variable is set to the current nesting level when you run lf from a shell spawned inside lf. You can add the value of this variable to your shell prompt to make it clear that your shell runs inside lf. For example, with POSIX shells, you can use '[ -n "$LF_LEVEL" ] && PS1="$PS1""(lf level: $LF_LEVEL) "' in your shell configuration file (e.g. '~/.bashrc'). If this variable is set in the environment, use the same value. Otherwise, this is set to 'start' in Windows, 'open' in MacOS, 'xdg-open' in others. If VISUAL is set in the environment, use its value. Otherwise, use the value of the environment variable EDITOR. If neither variable is set, this is set to 'vi' on Unix, 'notepad' in Windows. If this variable is set in the environment, use the same value. Otherwise, this is set to 'less' on Unix, 'more' in Windows. If this variable is set in the environment, use the same value. Otherwise, this is set to 'sh' on Unix, 'cmd' in Windows. Absolute path to the currently running lf binary, if it can be found. Otherwise, this is set to the string 'lf'. Value of the {option}. Value of the user_{option}. Width/Height of the terminal. Value of the count associated with the current command. This section shows information about special shell commands. This shell command can be defined to override the default 'open' command when the current file is not a directory. This shell command can be defined to override the default 'paste' command. This shell command can be defined to override the default 'rename' command. This shell command can be defined to override the default 'delete' command. This shell command can be defined to be executed before changing a directory. This shell command can be defined to be executed after changing a directory. This shell command can be defined to be executed after the selection changes. This shell command can be defined to be executed before quit. The following command prefixes are used by lf: The same evaluator is used for the command line and the configuration file for read and shell commands. The difference is that prefixes are not necessary in the command line. Instead, different modes are provided to read corresponding commands. These modes are mapped to the prefix keys above by default. Characters from '#' to newline are comments and ignored: There are four special commands ('set', 'map', 'cmap', and 'cmd') for configuration. Command 'set' is used to set an option which can be boolean, integer, or string: Command 'map' is used to bind a key to a command which can be builtin command, custom command, or shell command: Command 'cmap' is used to bind a key on the command line to a command line command or any other command: You can delete an existing binding by leaving the expression empty: Command 'cmd' is used to define a custom command: You can delete an existing command by leaving the expression empty: If there is no prefix then ':' is assumed: An explicit ':' can be provided to group statements until a newline which is especially useful for 'map' and 'cmd' commands: If you need multiline you can wrap statements in '{{' and '}}' after the proper prefix. Regular keys are assigned to a command with the usual syntax: Keys combined with the shift key simply use the uppercase letter: Special keys are written in between '<' and '>' characters and always use lowercase letters: Angle brackets can be assigned with their special names: Function keys are prefixed with 'f' character: Keys combined with the control key are prefixed with 'c' character: Keys combined with the alt key are assigned in two different ways depending on the behavior of your terminal. Older terminals (e.g. xterm) may set the 8th bit of a character when the alt key is pressed. On these terminals, you can use the corresponding byte for the mapping: Newer terminals (e.g. gnome-terminal) may prefix the key with an escape key when the alt key is pressed. lf uses the escape delaying mechanism to recognize alt keys in these terminals (delay is 100ms). On these terminals, keys combined with the alt key are prefixed with 'a' character: It is possible to combine special keys with modifiers: WARNING: Some key combinations will likely be intercepted by your OS, window manager, or terminal. Other key combinations cannot be recognized by lf due to the way terminals work (e.g. `Ctrl+h` combination sends a backspace key instead). The easiest way to find out the name of a key combination and whether it will work on your system is to press the key while lf is running and read the name from the "unknown mapping" error. Mouse buttons are prefixed with 'm' character: Mouse wheel events are also prefixed with 'm' character: The usual way to map a key sequence is to assign it to a named or unnamed command. While this provides a clean way to remap builtin keys as well as other commands, it can be limiting at times. For this reason 'push' command is provided by lf. This command is used to simulate key pushes given as its arguments. You can 'map' a key to a 'push' command with an argument to create various keybindings. This is mainly useful for two purposes. First, it can be used to map a command with a command count: Second, it can be used to avoid typing the name when a command takes arguments: One thing to be careful is that since 'push' command works with keys instead of commands it is possible to accidentally create recursive bindings: These types of bindings create a deadlock when executed. Regular shell commands are the most basic command type that is useful for many purposes. For example, we can write a shell command to move selected file(s) to trash. A first attempt to write such a command may look like this: We check '$fs' to see if there are any selected files. Otherwise we just delete the current file. Since this is such a common pattern, a separate '$fx' variable is provided. We can use this variable to get rid of the conditional: The trash directory is checked each time the command is executed. We can move it outside of the command so it would only run once at startup: Since these are one liners, we can drop '{{' and '}}': Finally note that we set 'IFS' variable manually in these commands. Instead we could use the 'ifs' option to set it for all shell commands (i.e. 'set ifs "\n"'). This can be especially useful for interactive use (e.g. '$rm $f' or '$rm $fs' would simply work). This option is not set by default as it can behave unexpectedly for new users. However, use of this option is highly recommended and it is assumed in the rest of the documentation. Regular shell commands have some limitations in some cases. When an output or error message is given and the command exits afterwards, the ui is immediately resumed and there is no way to see the message without dropping to shell again. Also, even when there is no output or error, the ui still needs to be paused while the command is running. This can cause flickering on the screen for short commands and similar distractions for longer commands. Instead of pausing the ui, piping shell commands connects stdin, stdout, and stderr of the command to the statline in the bottom of the ui. This can be useful for programs following the Unix philosophy to give no output in the success case, and brief error messages or prompts in other cases. For example, following rename command prompts for overwrite in the statline if there is an existing file with the given name: You can also output error messages in the command and it will show up in the statline. For example, an alternative rename command may look like this: Note that input is line buffered and output and error are byte buffered. Waiting shell commands are similar to regular shell commands except that they wait for a key press when the command is finished. These can be useful to see the output of a program before the ui is resumed. Waiting shell commands are more appropriate than piping shell commands when the command is verbose and the output is best displayed as multiline. Asynchronous shell commands are used to start a command in the background and then resume operation without waiting for the command to finish. Stdin, stdout, and stderr of the command is neither connected to the terminal nor to the ui. One of the more advanced features in lf is remote commands. All clients connect to a server on startup. It is possible to send commands to all or any of the connected clients over the common server. This is used internally to notify file selection changes to other clients. To use this feature, you need to use a client which supports communicating with a Unix domain socket. OpenBSD implementation of netcat (nc) is one such example. You can use it to send a command to the socket file: Since such a client may not be available everywhere, lf comes bundled with a command line flag to be used as such. When using lf, you do not need to specify the address of the socket file. This is the recommended way of using remote commands since it is shorter and immune to socket file address changes: In this command 'send' is used to send the rest of the string as a command to all connected clients. You can optionally give it an id number to send a command to a single client: All clients have a unique id number but you may not be aware of the id number when you are writing a command. For this purpose, an '$id' variable is exported to the environment for shell commands. The value of this variable is set to the process id of the client. You can use it to send a remote command from a client to the server which in return sends a command back to itself. So now you can display a message in the current client by calling the following in a shell command: Since lf does not have control flow syntax, remote commands are used for such needs. For example, you can configure the number of columns in the ui with respect to the terminal width as follows: Besides 'send' command, there is a 'quit' command to quit the server when there are no connected clients left, and a 'quit!' command to force quit the server by closing client connections first: Lastly, there is a 'conn' command to connect the server as a client. This should not be needed for users. lf uses its own builtin copy and move operations by default. These are implemented as asynchronous operations and progress is shown in the bottom ruler. These commands do not overwrite existing files or directories with the same name. Instead, a suffix that is compatible with '--backup=numbered' option in GNU cp is added to the new files or directories. Only file modes and (some) timestamps can be preserved (see `preserve` option), all other attributes are ignored including ownership, context, and xattr. Special files such as character and block devices, named pipes, and sockets are skipped and links are not followed. Moving is performed using the rename operation of the underlying OS. For cross-device moving, lf falls back to copying and then deletes the original files if there are no errors. Operation errors are shown in the message line as well as the log file and they do not preemptively finish the corresponding file operation. File operations can be performed on the current selected file or alternatively on multiple files by selecting them first. When you 'copy' a file, lf doesn't actually copy the file on the disk, but only records its name to a file. The actual file copying takes place when you 'paste'. Similarly 'paste' after a 'cut' operation moves the file. You can customize copy and move operations by defining a 'paste' command. This is a special command that is called when it is defined instead of the builtin implementation. You can use the following example as a starting point: Some useful things to be considered are to use the backup ('--backup') and/or preserve attributes ('-a') options with 'cp' and 'mv' commands if they support it (i.e. GNU implementation), change the command type to asynchronous, or use 'rsync' command with progress bar option for copying and feed the progress to the client periodically with remote 'echo' calls. By default, lf does not assign 'delete' command to a key to protect new users. You can customize file deletion by defining a 'delete' command. You can also assign a key to this command if you like. An example command to move selected files to a trash folder and remove files completely after a prompt are provided in the example configuration file. There are two mechanisms implemented in lf to search a file in the current directory. Searching is the traditional method to move the selection to a file matching a given pattern. Finding is an alternative way to search for a pattern possibly using fewer keystrokes. Searching mechanism is implemented with commands 'search' (default '/'), 'search-back' (default '?'), 'search-next' (default 'n'), and 'search-prev' (default 'N'). You can enable 'globsearch' option to match with a glob pattern. Globbing supports '*' to match any sequence, '?' to match any character, and '[...]' or '[^...] to match character sets or ranges. You can enable 'incsearch' option to jump to the current match at each keystroke while typing. In this mode, you can either use 'cmd-enter' to accept the search or use 'cmd-escape' to cancel the search. You can also map some other commands with 'cmap' to accept the search and execute the command immediately afterwards. For example, you can use the right arrow key to finish the search and open the selected file with the following mapping: Finding mechanism is implemented with commands 'find' (default 'f'), 'find-back' (default 'F'), 'find-next' (default ';'), 'find-prev' (default ','). You can disable 'anchorfind' option to match a pattern at an arbitrary position in the filename instead of the beginning. You can set the number of keys to match using 'findlen' option. If you set this value to zero, then the the keys are read until there is only a single match. Default values of these two options are set to jump to the first file with the given initial. Some options effect both searching and finding. You can disable 'wrapscan' option to prevent searches to wrap around at the end of the file list. You can disable 'ignorecase' option to match cases in the pattern and the filename. This option is already automatically overridden if the pattern contains upper case characters. You can disable 'smartcase' option to disable this behavior. Two similar options 'ignoredia' and 'smartdia' are provided to control matching diacritics in latin letters. You can define a an 'open' command (default 'l' and '<right>') to configure file opening. This command is only called when the current file is not a directory, otherwise the directory is entered instead. You can define it just as you would define any other command: It is possible to use different command types: You may want to use either file extensions or mime types from 'file' command: You may want to use 'setsid' before your opener command to have persistent processes that continue to run after lf quits. Regular shell commands (i.e. '$') drop to terminal which results in a flicker for commands that finishes immediately (e.g. 'xdg-open' in the above example). If you want to use asynchronous shell commands (i.e. '&') but also want to use the terminal when necessary (e.g. 'vi' in the above exxample), you can use a remote command: Note, asynchronous shell commands run in their own process group by default so they do not require the manual use of 'setsid'. Following command is provided by default: You may also use any other existing file openers as you like. Possible options are 'libfile-mimeinfo-perl' (executable name is 'mimeopen'), 'rifle' (ranger's default file opener), or 'mimeo' to name a few. lf previews files on the preview pane by printing the file until the end or the preview pane is filled. This output can be enhanced by providing a custom preview script for filtering. This can be used to highlight source codes, list contents of archive files or view pdf or image files to name a few. For coloring lf recognizes ansi escape codes. In order to use this feature you need to set the value of 'previewer' option to the path of an executable file. Five arguments are passed to the file, (1) current file name, (2) width, (3) height, (4) horizontal position, and (5) vertical position of preview pane respectively. Output of the execution is printed in the preview pane. You may also want to use the same script in your pager mapping as well: For 'less' pager, you may instead utilize 'LESSOPEN' mechanism so that useful information about the file such as the full path of the file can still be displayed in the statusline below: Since this script is called for each file selection change it needs to be as efficient as possible and this responsibility is left to the user. You may use file extensions to determine the type of file more efficiently compared to obtaining mime types from 'file' command. Extensions can then be used to match cleanly within a conditional: Another important consideration for efficiency is the use of programs with short startup times for preview. For this reason, 'highlight' is recommended over 'pygmentize' for syntax highlighting. Besides, it is also important that the application is processing the file on the fly rather than first reading it to the memory and then do the processing afterwards. This is especially relevant for big files. lf automatically closes the previewer script output pipe with a SIGPIPE when enough lines are read. When everything else fails, you can make use of the height argument to only feed the first portion of the file to a program for preview. Note that some programs may not respond well to SIGPIPE to exit with a non-zero return code and avoid caching. You may add a trailing '|| true' command to avoid such errors: You may also use an existing preview filter as you like. Your system may already come with a preview filter named 'lesspipe'. These filters may have a mechanism to add user customizations as well. See the related documentations for more information. lf changes the working directory of the process to the current directory so that shell commands always work in the displayed directory. After quitting, it returns to the original directory where it is first launched like all shell programs. If you want to stay in the current directory after quitting, you can use one of the example lfcd wrapper shell scripts provided in the repository at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/tree/master/etc There is a special command 'on-cd' that runs a shell command when it is defined and the directory is changed. You can define it just as you would define any other command: If you want to print escape sequences, you may redirect 'printf' output to '/dev/tty'. The following xterm specific escape sequence sets the terminal title to the working directory: This command runs whenever you change directory but not on startup. You can add an extra call to make it run on startup as well: Note that all shell commands are possible but '%' and '&' are usually more appropriate as '$' and '!' causes flickers and pauses respectively. There is also a 'pre-cd' command, that works like 'on-cd', but is run before the directory is actually changed. lf tries to automatically adapt its colors to the environment. It starts with a default colorscheme and updates colors using values of existing environment variables possibly by overwriting its previous values. Colors are set in the following order: Please refer to the corresponding man pages for more information about 'LSCOLORS' and 'LS_COLORS'. 'LF_COLORS' is provided with the same syntax as 'LS_COLORS' in case you want to configure colors only for lf but not ls. This can be useful since there are some differences between ls and lf, though one should expect the same behavior for common cases. Colors file is provided for easier configuration without environment variables. This file should consist of whitespace separated pairs with '#' character to start comments until the end of line. You can configure lf colors in two different ways. First, you can only configure 8 basic colors used by your terminal and lf should pick up those colors automatically. Depending on your terminal, you should be able to select your colors from a 24-bit palette. This is the recommended approach as colors used by other programs will also match each other. Second, you can set the values of environment variables or colors file mentioned above for fine grained customization. Note that 'LS_COLORS/LF_COLORS' are more powerful than 'LSCOLORS' and they can be used even when GNU programs are not installed on the system. You can combine this second method with the first method for best results. Lastly, you may also want to configure the colors of the prompt line to match the rest of the colors. Colors of the prompt line can be configured using the 'promptfmt' option which can include hardcoded colors as ansi escapes. See the default value of this option to have an idea about how to color this line. It is worth noting that lf uses as many colors advertised by your terminal's entry in terminfo or infocmp databases on your system. If an entry is not present, it falls back to an internal database. If your terminal supports 24-bit colors but either does not have a database entry or does not advertise all capabilities, you can enable support by setting the '$COLORTERM' variable to 'truecolor' or ensuring '$TERM' is set to a value that ends with '-truecolor'. Default lf colors are mostly taken from GNU dircolors defaults. These defaults use 8 basic colors and bold attribute. Default dircolors entries with background colors are simplified to avoid confusion with current file selection in lf. Similarly, there are only file type matchings and extension matchings are left out for simplicity. Default values are as follows given with their matching order in lf: Note that lf first tries matching file names and then falls back to file types. The full order of matchings from most specific to least are as follows: For example, given a regular text file '/path/to/README.txt', the following entries are checked in the configuration and the first one to match is used: Given a regular directory '/path/to/example.d', the following entries are checked in the configuration and the first one to match is used: Note that glob-like patterns do not actually perform glob matching due to performance reasons. For example, you can set a variable as follows: Having all entries on a single line can make it hard to read. You may instead divide it to multiple lines in between double quotes by escaping newlines with backslashes as follows: Having such a long variable definition in a shell configuration file might be undesirable. You may instead use the colors file for configuration. A sample colors file can be found at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/blob/master/etc/colors.example You may also see the wiki page for ansi escape codes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code Icons are configured using 'LF_ICONS' environment variable or an icons file. The variable uses the same syntax as 'LS_COLORS/LF_COLORS'. Instead of colors, you should put a single characters as values of entries. Icons file should consist of whitespace separated pairs with '#' character to start comments until the end of line. Do not forget to enable 'icons' option to see the icons. Default values are as follows given with their matching order in lf: A sample icons file can be found at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/blob/master/etc/icons.example

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. - UTF-8 support - Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins - Page header and footer management - Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification - Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images - Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency - Outline bookmarks - Internal and external links - TrueType, Type1 and encoding support - Page compression - Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses - Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring - Clipping - Document protection - Layers - Templates - Barcodes - Charting facility - Import PDFs as templates gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used. Also, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. This repository will not be maintained, at least for some unknown duration. But it is hoped that gofpdf has a bright future in the open source world. Due to Go’s promise of compatibility, gofpdf should continue to function without modification for a longer time than would be the case with many other languages. Forks should be based on the last viable commit. Tools such as active-forks can be used to select a fork that looks promising for your needs. If a particular fork looks like it has taken the lead in attracting followers, this README will be updated to point people in that direction. The efforts of all contributors to this project have been deeply appreciated. Best wishes to all of you. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running go test ./... is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you’ll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory and if the third argument to ComparePDFFiles() in internal/example/example.go is true. (By default it is false.) The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). You should use AddUTF8Font() or AddUTF8FontFromBytes() to add a TrueType UTF-8 encoded font. Use RTL() and LTR() methods switch between “right-to-left” and “left-to-right” mode. In order to use a different non-UTF-8 TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run “go build”. This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include Google Fonts and DejaVu Fonts. The draw2d package is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the contrib directory. Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should - be compatible with the MIT License - be properly documented - be formatted with go fmt - include an example in fpdf_test.go if appropriate - conform to the standards of golint and go vet, that is, golint . and go vet . should not generate any warnings - not diminish test coverage Pull requests are the preferred means of accepting your changes. gofpdf is released under the MIT License. It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package’s code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image’s extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Dan Meyers added support for embedded JavaScript. David Fish added a generic alias-replacement function to enable, among other things, table of contents functionality. Andy Bakun identified and corrected a problem in which the internal catalogs were not sorted stably. Paul Montag added encoding and decoding functionality for templates, including images that are embedded in templates; this allows templates to be stored independently of gofpdf. Paul also added support for page boxes used in printing PDF documents. Wojciech Matusiak added supported for word spacing. Artem Korotkiy added support of UTF-8 fonts. Dave Barnes added support for imported objects and templates. Brigham Thompson added support for rounded rectangles. Joe Westcott added underline functionality and optimized image storage. Benoit KUGLER contributed support for rectangles with corners of unequal radius, modification times, and for file attachments and annotations. - Remove all legacy code page font support; use UTF-8 exclusively - Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. Example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method.

Package cslb provides transparent HTTP/HTTPS Client Side Load Balancing for Go programs. Cslb intercepts "net/http" Dial Requests and re-directs them to a preferred set of target hosts based on the load balancing configuration expressed in DNS SRV and TXT Resource Records (RRs). Only one trivial change is required to client applications to benefit from cslb which is to import this package and (if needed) enabling it for non-default http.Transport instances. Cslb processing is triggered by the presence of SRV RRs. If no SRVs exist cslb is benign which means you can deploy your application with cslb and independently activate and deactivate cslb processing for each service at any time. No server-side changes are required at all - apart for possibly dispensing with your server-side load-balancers! Importing cslb automatically enables interception for http.DefaultTransport. In this program snippet: the Dial Request made by http.Get is intercepted and processed by cslb. If the application uses its own http.Transport then cslb processing needs to be activated by calling the cslb.Enable() function, i.e.: The cslb.Enable() function replaces http.Transport.DialContext with its own intercept function. Server-side load-balancers are no panacea. They add deployment and diagnostic complexity, cost, throughput constraints and become an additional point of possible failure. Cslb can help you achieve good load-balancing and fail-over behaviour without the need for *any* server-side load-balancers. This is particularly useful in enterprise and micro-service deployments as well as smaller application deployments where configuring and managing load-balancers is a significant resource drain. Cslb can be used to load-balance across geographically dispersed targets or where "hot stand-by" systems are purposely deployed on diverse infrastructure. When cslb intercepts a http.Transport Dial Request to port 80 or port 443 it looks up SRV RRs as prescribed by RFC2782. That is, _http._tcp.$domain and _https._tcp.$domain respectively. Cslb directs the Dial Request to the highest preference target based on the SRV algorithm. If that Dial Request fails, it tries the next lower preference target until a successful connection is returned or all unique targets fail or it runs out of time. Cslb caches the SRV RRs (or their non-existence) as well as the result of Dial Requests to the SRV targets to optimize subequent intercepted calls and the selection of preferred targets. If no SRV RRs exist, cslb passes the Dial Request on to net.DialContext. Cslb has specific rules about when interception occurs. It normally only considers intercepting port 80 and port 443 however if the "cslb_allports" environment variable is set, cslb intercepts non-standard HTTP ports and maps them to numeric service names. For example http://example.net:8080 gets mapped to _8080._tcp.example.net as the SRV name to resolve. While cslb runs passively by caching the results of previous Dial Requests, it can also run actively by periodically performing health checks on targets. This is useful as an administrator can control health check behaviour to move a target "in and out of rotation" without changing DNS entries and waiting for TTLs to age out. Health checks are also likely to make the application a little more responsive as they are less likely to make a dial attempt to a target that is not working. Active health checking is enabled by the presence of a TXT RR in the sub-domain "_$port._cslb" of the target. E.g. if the SRV target is "s1.example.net:80" then cslb looks for the TXT RR at "_80._cslb.s1.example.net". If that TXT RR contains a URL then it becomes the health check URL. If no TXT RR exists or the contents do not form a valid URL then no active health check is performed for that target. The health check URL does not have to be related to the target in any particular way. It could be a URL to a central monitoring system which performs complicated application level tests and performance monitoring. Or it could be a URL on the target system itself. A health check is considered successful when a GET of the URL returns a 200 status and the content contains the uppercase text "OK" somewhere in the body (See the "cslb_hc_ok" environment variable for how this can be modified). Unless both those conditions are met the target is considered unavailable. Active health checks cease once a target becomes idle for too long and health check Dial Requests are *not* get intercepted by cslb. If your current service exists on a single server called "s1.example.net" and you want to spread the load across additional servers "s2.example.net" and "s3.example.net" and assuming you've added the "cslb" package to your application then the following DNS changes active cslb processing: Current DNS Additional DNS A number of observations about this DNS setup: Cslb maintains a cache of SRV lookups and the health status of targets. Cache entries automatically age out as a form of garbage collection. Removed cache entries stop any associated active health checks. Unfortunately the cache ageing does not have access to the DNS TTLs associated with the SRV RRs so it makes a best-guess at reasonable time-to-live values. The important point to note is that *all* values get periodically refreshed from the DNS. Nothing persists internally forever regardless of the level of activity. This means you can be sure that any changes to your DNS will be noticed by cslb in due course. Cslb optional runs a web server which presents internal statistics on its performance and activity. This web service has *no* access controls so it's best to only run it on a loopback address. Setting the environment variable "cslb_listen" to a listen address activates the status server. E.g.: On initialization the cslb package examines the "cslb_options" environment variable for single letter options which have the following meaning: An example of how this might by used from a shell: Many internal configuration values can be over-ridden with environment variables as shown in this table: Any values which are invalid or fall outside a reasonable range are ignored. Cslb only knows about the results of network connection attempts made by DialContext and the results of any configured health checks. If a service is accepting network connections but not responding to HTTP requests - or responding negatively - the client experiences failures but cslb will be unaware of these failures. The result is that cslb will continue to direct future Dial Requests to that faulty service in accordance with the SRV priorities. If your service is vulnerable to this scenario, active health checks are recommended. This could be something ss simple as an on-service health check which responds based on recent "200 OK" responses in the service log file. Alternatively an on-service monitor which closes the listen socket will also work. In general, defining a failing service is a complicated matter that only the application truly understands. For this reason health checks are used as an intermediary which does understand application level failures and converts them to simple language which cslb groks. While every service is different there are a few general guidelines which apply to most services when using cslb. First of all, run simple health checks if you can and configure them for use by cslb. Second, have each target configured with both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. This affords two potentially independent network paths to the targets. Furthermore, net.Dialer attempts both ipv4 and ipv6 connections simultaneously which maximizes responsiveness for the client. Third, consider a "canary" target as a low preference (highest numeric value SRV priority) target. If this "canary" target is accessed by cslb clients it tells you they are having trouble reaching their "real" targets. Being able to run a "canary" service is one of the side-benefits of cslb and SRVs. Whan analyzing the Status Web Page or watching the Run Time Control output, observers need to be aware of caching by the http (and possibly other) packages. For example not every call to http.Get() results in a Dial Request as httpClient tries to re-use connections. In a similar vein if you change a DNS entry and don't believe cslb has noticed this change within an appropriate TTL amount of time, be aware that on some platforms the intervening recursive resolvers adjust TTLs as they see fit. For example some home-gamer routers are known to increase short TTLs to values they believe to be a more "appropriate" in an attempt to reduce their cache churn. Perhaps the biggest caveat of all is that cslb relies on being enabled for all http.Transports in use by your application. If you are importing a package (either directly or indirectly) which constructs its own http.Transports then you'll need to modify that package to call cslb.Enable() otherwise those http requests will not be intercepted. Of course if the package is making requests incidental to the core functionality of your application then maybe it doesn't matter and you can leave them be. Something to be aware of. -----

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

Package warc is an implementation of ISO28500 1.0, the WebARCive specfication. it provides readers, writers, and structs for working with warc records. from the spec: The WARC (Web ARChive) file format offers a convention for concatenating multiple resource records (data objects), each consisting of a set of simple text headers and an arbitrary data block into one long file. The WARC format is an extension of the ARC File Format [ARC] that has traditionally been used to store "web crawls" as sequences of content blocks harvested from the World Wide Web. Each capture in an ARC file is preceded by a one-line header that very briefly describes the harvested content and its length. This is directly followed by the retrieval protocol response messages and content. The original ARC format file is used by the Internet Archive (IA) since 1996 for managing billions of objects, and by several national libraries.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file.

Package goa provides the runtime support for goa microservices. goa service development begins with writing the *design* of a service. The design is described using the goa language implemented by the github.com/goadesign/goa/design/apidsl package. The `goagen` tool consumes the metadata produced from executing the design language to generate service specific code that glues the underlying HTTP server with action specific code and data structures. The goa package contains supporting functionality for the generated code including basic request and response state management through the RequestData and ResponseData structs, error handling via error classes, middleware support via the Middleware data structure as well as decoding and encoding algorithms. The RequestData and ResponseData structs provides access to the request and response state. goa request handlers also accept a golang.org/x/net/Context interface as first parameter so that deadlines and cancelation signals may easily be implemented. The request state exposes the underlying http.Request object as well as the deserialized payload (request body) and parameters (both path and querystring parameters). Generated action specific contexts wrap the context.Context, ResponseData and RequestData data structures. They expose properly typed fields that correspond to the request parameters and body data structure descriptions appearing in the design. The response state exposes the response status and body length as well as the underlying ResponseWriter. Action contexts provide action specific helper methods that write the responses as described in the design optionally taking an instance of the media type for responses that contain a body. Here is an example showing an "update" action corresponding to following design (extract): The action signature generated by goagen is: where UpdateBottleContext is: and implements: The definitions of the Bottle and UpdateBottlePayload data structures are ommitted for brievity. There is one controller interface generated per resource defined via the design language. The interface exposes the controller actions. User code must provide data structures that implement these interfaces when mounting a controller onto a service. The controller data structure should include an anonymous field of type *goa.Controller which takes care of implementing the middleware handling. A goa middleware is a function that takes and returns a Handler. A Handler is a the low level function which handles incoming HTTP requests. goagen generates the handlers code so each handler creates the action specific context and calls the controller action with it. Middleware can be added to a goa service or a specific controller using the corresponding Use methods. goa comes with a few stock middleware that handle common needs such as logging, panic recovery or using the RequestID header to trace requests across multiple services. The controller action methods generated by goagen such as the Update method of the BottleController interface shown above all return an error value. goa defines an Error struct that action implementations can use to describe the content of the corresponding HTTP response. Errors can be created using error classes which are functions created via NewErrorClass. The ErrorHandler middleware maps errors to HTTP responses. Errors that are instances of the Error struct are mapped using the struct fields while other types of errors return responses with status code 500 and the error message in the body. The goa design language documented in the dsl package makes it possible to attach validations to data structure definitions. One specific type of validation consists of defining the format that a data structure string field must follow. Example of formats include email, data time, hostnames etc. The ValidateFormat function provides the implementation for the format validation invoked from the code generated by goagen. The goa design language makes it possible to specify the encodings supported by the API both as input (Consumes) and output (Produces). goagen uses that information to registed the corresponding packages with the service encoders and decoders via their Register methods. The service exposes the DecodeRequest and EncodeResponse that implement a simple content type negotiation algorithm for picking the right encoder for the "Content-Type" (decoder) or "Accept" (encoder) request header. Package goa standardizes on structured error responses: a request that fails because of an invalid input or an unexpected condition produces a response that contains a structured error. The Error data structure contains four fields: a code, a status, a detail and metadata. The code defines the class of error (e.g. "invalid_parameter_type") and the status the corresponding HTTP status (e.g. 400). The detail contains a message specific to the error occurrence. The medata contains key/value pairs that provide contextual information (name of parameters, value of invalid parameter etc.). The basic data structure backing errors is Error. Instances of Error can be created via Error Class functions. See http://goa.design/implement/error_handling.html The code generated by goagen calls the helper functions exposed in this file when it encounters invalid data (wrong type, validation errors etc.) such as InvalidParamTypeError, InvalidAttributeTypeError etc. These methods return errors that get merged with any previously encountered error via the Error Merge method. goa includes an error handler middleware that takes care of mapping back any error returned by previously called middleware or action handler into HTTP responses. If the error is an instance of Error then the corresponding content including the HTTP status is used otherwise an internal error is returned. Errors that bubble up all the way to the top (i.e. not handled by the error middleware) also generate an internal error response.

The controller or service-wide error handler (if no controller specific error handler) function is invoked whenever the value returned by a controller action is not nil. The handler gets both the request context and the error as argument. The default handler implementation returns a response with status code 500 containing the error message in the body. A different error handler can be specificied using the SetErrorHandler function on either a controller or service wide. goa comes with an alternative error handler - the TerseErrorHandler - which also returns a response with status 500 but does not write the error message to the body of the response. A goa middleware is a function that takes and returns a Handler. A Handler is a the low level function which handles incoming HTTP requests. goagen generates the handlers code so each handler creates the action specific context and calls the controller action with it. Middleware can be added to a goa service or a specific controller using the Service type Use method. goa comes with a few stock middleware that handle common needs such as logging, panic recovery or using the RequestID header to trace requests across multiple services. The goa design language documented in the dsl package makes it possible to attach validations to data structure definitions. One specific type of validation consists of defining the format that a data structure string field must follow. Example of formats include email, data time, hostnames etc. The ValidateFormat function provides the implementation for the format validation invoked from the code generated by goagen. The goa design language makes it possible to specify the encodings supported by the API both as input (Consumes) and output (Produces). goagen uses that information to registed the corresponding packages with the service encoders and decoders via the Encoder and Decoder methods. The service exposes the Decode, DecodeRequest, Encode and EncodeResponse that implement a simple content type negotiation algorithm for picking the right encoder for the "Accept" request header. Package goa standardizes on structured error responses: a request that fails because of invalid input or unexpected condition produces a response that contains one or more structured error(s). Each error object has three keys: a id (number), a title and a message. The title for a given id is always the same, the intent is to provide a human friendly categorization. The message is specific to the error occurrence and provides additional details that often include contextual information (name of parameters etc.). The basic data structure backing errors is TypedError which simply contains the id and message. Multiple errors (not just TypedError instances) can be encapsulated in a MultiError. Both TypedError and MultiError implement the error interface, the Error methods return valid JSON that can be written directly to a response body. The code generated by goagen calls the helper functions exposed in this file when it encounters invalid data (wrong type, validation errors etc.) such as InvalidParamTypeError, InvalidAttributeTypeError etc. These methods take and return an error which is a MultiError that gets built over time. The final MultiError object then gets serialized into the response and sent back to the client. The response status code is inferred from the type wrapping the error object: a BadRequestError produces a 400 status code while any other error produce a 500. This behavior can be overridden by setting a custom ErrorHandler in the application.

lf is a terminal file manager. Source code can be found in the repository at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf. This documentation can either be read from terminal using "lf -doc" or online at https://godoc.org/github.com/gokcehan/lf. The following commands are provided by lf with default keybindings. The following commands are provided by lf without default keybindings. The following options can be used to customize the behavior of lf. The following variables are exported for shell commands. The configuration file should either be located in "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lf/lfrc" or "~/.config/lf/lfrc". A sample configuration file can be found at https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/blob/master/etc/lfrc.example. The following command prefixes are used by lf: The same evaluator is used for the command line and the configuration file. The difference is that prefixes are not necessary in the command line. Instead different modes are provided to read corresponding commands. Note that by default these modes are mapped to the prefix keys above. Characters from "#" to "\n" are comments and ignored. There are three special commands for configuration. "set" is used to set an option which could be bool (e.g. "set hidden", "set nohidden", "set hidden!"), int (e.g. "set scrolloff 10"), or string (e.g. "set sortby time"). "map" is used to bind a key to a command which could be built-in command (e.g. "map gh cd ~"), custom command (e.g. "map D trash"), or shell command (e.g. "map i $less "$f"", "map u !du -h . | less"). You can delete an existing binding by leaving the expression empty (e.g. "map gh"). "cmd" is used to define a custom command or delete an existing command by leaving the expression empty (e.g. "cmd trash"). If there is no prefix then ":" is assumed. An explicit ":" could be provided to group statements until a "\n" occurs. This is especially useful for "map" and "cmd" commands. If you need multiline you can wrap statements in "{{" and "}}" after the proper prefix. The usual way to map a key sequence is to assign it to a named or unnamed command. While this provides a clean way to remap builtin keys as well as other commands, it can be limiting at times. For this reason "push" command is provided by lf. This command is used to simulate key pushes given as its arguments. You can "map" a key to a "push" command with an argument to create various keybindings. This is mainly useful for two purposes. First, it can be used to map a command with a command count. Second, it can be used to avoid typing the name when a command takes arguments. One thing to be careful is that since "push" command works with keys instead of commands it is possible to accidentally create recursive bindings. These types of bindings create a deadlock when executed. For demonstration let us write a shell command to move selected file(s) to trash. A first attempt to write such a command may look like this: We check "$fs" to see if there are any marked files. Otherwise we just delete the current file. Since this is such a common pattern, a separate "$fx" variable is provided. We can use this variable to get rid of the conditional. The trash directory is checked each time the command is executed. We can move it outside of the command so it would only run once at startup. Since these are one liners, we can drop "{{" and "}}". Finally note that we set "IFS" variable accordingly in the command. Instead we could use the "ifs" option to set it for all commands (e.g. "set ifs ':'"). This could be especially useful for interactive use (e.g. "rm $fs" would simply work). This option is not set by default as things may behave unexpectedly at other places. lf uses the underlying "cp" and "mv" shell commands for file operations. For this purpose, when you "yank" (i.e. copy) a file, it doesn't actually copy the file on the disk, but only records its name to memory. The actual file operation takes place when you do the "put" in which case the "cp" command is used. Similarly the "mv" command is used for "delete" (i.e. cut or kill) followed by "put". These traditional names (e.g. "yank", "delete", and "put") are picked instead of the other common convention (e.g. copy and cut) to resemble the default keybinds for these operations. You can use "open-file" command to open a file. This is a special command called by "open" when the current file is not a directory. Normally a user maps the "open" command to a key (default "l") and customize "open-file" command as desired. You can define it just as you would define any other command. It is possible to use different command types. You may want to use either file extensions or mime types from "file" command. lf does not come bundled with a file opener. You can use any of the existing file openers as you like. Possible options are "open" (for Mac OS X only), "xdg-utils" (executable name is "xdg-open"), "libfile-mimeinfo-perl" (executable name is "mimeopen"), "rifle" (ranger's default file opener), or "mimeo" to name a few. lf previews files on the preview pane by printing the file until the end or the preview pane is filled. This output can be enhanced by providing a custom preview script for filtering. This can be used to highlight source codes, list contents of archive files or view pdf or image files as text to name few. For coloring lf recognizes ansi escape codes. In order to use this feature you need to set the value of "previewer" option to the path of an executable file. lf passes the current file name as the first argument and the height of the preview pane as the second argument when running this file. Output of the execution is printed in the preview pane. You may want to use the same script in your pager mapping as well if any. Since this script is called for each file selection change it needs to be as efficient as possible and this responsibility is left to the user. You may use file extensions to determine the type of file more efficiently compared to obtaining mime types from "file" command. Extensions can then be used to match cleanly within a conditional. Another important consideration for efficiency is the use of programs with short startup times for preview. For this reason, "highlight" is recommended over "pygmentize" for syntax highlighting. Besides, it is also important that the application is processing the file on the fly rather than first reading it to the memory and then do the processing afterwards. This is especially relevant for big files. lf automatically closes the previewer script output pipe with a SIGPIPE when enough lines are read. When everything else fails, you can make use of the height argument to only feed the first portion of the file to a program for preview.

bindata converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice. The following paragraphs cover some of the customization options which can be specified in the Config struct, which must be passed into the Translate() call. When used with the `Debug` option, the generated code does not actually include the asset data. Instead, it generates function stubs which load the data from the original file on disk. The asset API remains identical between debug and release builds, so your code will not have to change. This is useful during development when you expect the assets to change often. The host application using these assets uses the same API in both cases and will not have to care where the actual data comes from. An example is a Go webserver with some embedded, static web content like HTML, JS and CSS files. While developing it, you do not want to rebuild the whole server and restart it every time you make a change to a bit of javascript. You just want to build and launch the server once. Then just press refresh in the browser to see those changes. Embedding the assets with the `debug` flag allows you to do just that. When you are finished developing and ready for deployment, just re-invoke `go-bindata` without the `-debug` flag. It will now embed the latest version of the assets. The `NoMemCopy` option will alter the way the output file is generated. It will employ a hack that allows us to read the file data directly from the compiled program's `.rodata` section. This ensures that when we call call our generated function, we omit unnecessary memcopies. The downside of this, is that it requires dependencies on the `reflect` and `unsafe` packages. These may be restricted on platforms like AppEngine and thus prevent you from using this mode. Another disadvantage is that the byte slice we create, is strictly read-only. For most use-cases this is not a problem, but if you ever try to alter the returned byte slice, a runtime panic is thrown. Use this mode only on target platforms where memory constraints are an issue. The default behaviour is to use the old code generation method. This prevents the two previously mentioned issues, but will employ at least one extra memcopy and thus increase memory requirements. For instance, consider the following two examples: This would be the default mode, using an extra memcopy but gives a safe implementation without dependencies on `reflect` and `unsafe`: Here is the same functionality, but uses the `.rodata` hack. The byte slice returned from this example can not be written to without generating a runtime error. The NoCompress option indicates that the supplied assets are *not* GZIP compressed before being turned into Go code. The data should still be accessed through a function call, so nothing changes in the API. This feature is useful if you do not care for compression, or the supplied resource is already compressed. Doing it again would not add any value and may even increase the size of the data. The default behaviour of the program is to use compression. The keys used in the `_bindata` map are the same as the input file name passed to `go-bindata`. This includes the path. In most cases, this is not desireable, as it puts potentially sensitive information in your code base. For this purpose, the tool supplies another command line flag `-prefix`. This accepts a portion of a path name, which should be stripped off from the map keys and function names. For example, running without the `-prefix` flag, we get: Running with the `-prefix` flag, we get: With the optional Tags field, you can specify any go build tags that must be fulfilled for the output file to be included in a build. This is useful when including binary data in multiple formats, where the desired format is specified at build time with the appropriate tags. The tags are appended to a `// +build` line in the beginning of the output file and must follow the build tags syntax specified by the go tool.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/. The draw2d package (https://github.com/llgcode/draw2d) is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the `contrib` directory. Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should • be compatible with the MIT License • be properly documented • be formatted with `go fmt` • include an example in fpdf_test.go if appropriate • conform to the standards of golint (https://github.com/golang/lint) and go vet (https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet), that is, `golint .` and `go vet .` should not generate any warnings • not diminish test coverage (https://blog.golang.org/cover) Pull requests (https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) work nicely as a means of contributing your changes. gofpdf is released under the MIT License. It is copyrighted by Kurt Jung and the contributors acknowledged below. This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library (http://www.fpdf.org/) created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function. Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded fonts. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code. • Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided. • Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. This example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used. Also, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. This repository will not be maintained, at least for some unknown duration. But it is hoped that gofpdf has a bright future in the open source world. Due to Go’s promise of compatibility, gofpdf should continue to function without modification for a longer time than would be the case with many other languages. Forks should be based on the last viable commit. Tools such as active-forks can be used to select a fork that looks promising for your needs. If a particular fork looks like it has taken the lead in attracting followers, this README will be updated to point people in that direction.

Paul also added support for page boxes used in printing PDF documents. Wojciech Matusiak added supported for word spacing. Artem Korotkiy added support of UTF-8 fonts. Dave Barnes added support for imported objects and templates. Brigham Thompson added support for rounded rectangles. Joe Westcott added underline functionality and optimized image storage. Benoit KUGLER contributed support for rectangles with corners of unequal radius, modification times, and for file attachments and annotations. - Remove all legacy code page font support; use UTF-8 exclusively - Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool. Example demonstrates the generation of a simple PDF document. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). Note also that the example.Filename() and example.Summary() functions belong to a separate, internal package and are not part of the gofpdf library. If an error occurs at some point during the construction of the document, subsequent method calls exit immediately and the error is finally retrieved with the output call where it can be handled by the application.

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