Vertex is a friendly, fast and flexible RESTful API building framework 1. An API definition framework 2. Request handlers as structs with automatic data mapping 3. Automatic Data Validation 4. An integrated testing framework for your API 5. A middleware framework similar (but not compliant) to negroni 6. Batteries included: JSON rendering, Auto Recover, Static File Serving, Request Logging, and more The basic idea of Vertex revolves around friendly, pre-validated request handlers, that leave the developer with the need to write as little boilerplate code as possible. Routes in the API are mapped to the RequestHandler interface: RequestHandlers have a few interesting characteristics: 1. Fields in structs implementing RequestHandler get automtically filled by request data. 2. Field values are automatically validated and sanitized 3. They do not *(need to)* write to the response writer, they just need to return a response object. You create structs that have all the parameters you need to handle the requests, define validations for these parameters, and Vertex does the rest for you - just return a response object and you're done. Here is an example super simple RequestHandler: As you can see, the "id" parameter that is received as a post/get/path parameter is automatically parsed into the struct when the handler is invoked. If it is missing or invalid, the handler won't even be invoked, but an error will be generated to the client. These are the allowed tags for fields in RequestHandler structs: schema - the parameter name in the request doc - a short documentation string for the field default - the default value for the parameter in case it's missing min - the minimum allowed value for numeric fields (inclusive) max - the maximum allowed value for numeric fields (inclusive) maxlen - the maximal allowed length for strings minlen - the minimal allowed length for strings required true/false - if set to "true", forces the request to have this parameter set allowEmpty true/false - do we allow empty values? pattern - a regular expression that a string must match if this tag is set in query/body/path - optional for non path params. mainly for documentation needs TODO: Support min/max length for string lists Supported types for struct fields are (see : If a field has a custom type that needs automatic deserialization (e.g. a binary Thrift or Protobuf object), we can define a custom Unmarshal method to the type, letting it automatically deserialize parameters. (See the Unmarshaler interface) The unmarshaler should return a new instance of itself with the value set correctly. Example: a type that takes a string and splits in two APIs are defined in a declarative way, preferably separately from defining the the actual handler logic. An API has a few major parts: Here is an example simple API definition: Security Schemes are used to validate requests. The scheme simply receives the request, and returns an error if it is not valid. It can be used to authenticate the user, validate the API key, etc. Vertex comes with some middleware modules included. Currently implemented middleware include: Responses have renderers - that transform the response object to some serialization format. The default is of course JSON, but an HTML renderer using templates also exists. TODO

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

Package route is a helper for the core (https://godoc.org/github.com/volatile/core). It provides syntactic sugar that wraps a handler with request method and path filtering. Functions exists for the most common and standard HTTP methods. Example for a GET route: If you need to handle custom methods, Use receives the methods in a strings slice: Remember that HTTP methods are case-sensitive. See RFC 7231 4.1 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.1). A regular expression is used to match the request path. We think it offers the best balance between performance and power for this kind of job. If you need to use named parameters from the URL, just use a regexp named group and a func(*core.Context, map[string]string) handler type:
Pact Go enables consumer driven contract testing, providing a mock service and DSL for the consumer project, and interaction playback and verification for the service provider project. Consumer side Pact testing is an isolated test that ensures a given component is able to collaborate with another (remote) component. Pact will automatically start a Mock server in the background that will act as the collaborators' test double. This implies that any interactions expected on the Mock server will be validated, meaning a test will fail if all interactions were not completed, or if unexpected interactions were found: A typical consumer-side test would look something like this: If this test completed successfully, a Pact file should have been written to ./pacts/my_consumer-my_provider.json containing all of the interactions expected to occur between the Consumer and Provider. In addition to verbatim value matching, you have 3 useful matching functions in the `dsl` package that can increase expressiveness and reduce brittle test cases. Here is a complex example that shows how all 3 terms can be used together: This example will result in a response body from the mock server that looks like: See the examples in the dsl package and the matcher tests (https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/blob/master/dsl/matcher_test.go) for more matching examples. NOTE: You will need to use valid Ruby regular expressions (http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.5/Regexp.html) and double escape backslashes. Read more about flexible matching (https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-ruby/wiki/Regular-expressions-and-type-matching-with-Pact. Provider side Pact testing, involves verifying that the contract - the Pact file - can be satisfied by the Provider. A typical Provider side test would like something like: The `VerifyProvider` will handle all verifications, treating them as subtests and giving you granular test reporting. If you don't like this behaviour, you may call `VerifyProviderRaw` directly and handle the errors manually. Note that `PactURLs` may be a list of local pact files or remote based urls (possibly from a Pact Broker - http://docs.pact.io/documentation/sharings_pacts.html). Pact reads the specified pact files (from remote or local sources) and replays the interactions against a running Provider. If all of the interactions are met we can say that both sides of the contract are satisfied and the test passes. When validating a Provider, you have 3 options to provide the Pact files: 1. Use "PactURLs" to specify the exact set of pacts to be replayed: 2. Use "PactBroker" to automatically find all of the latest consumers: 3. Use "PactBroker" and "Tags" to automatically find all of the latest consumers: Options 2 and 3 are particularly useful when you want to validate that your Provider is able to meet the contracts of what's in Production and also the latest in development. See this [article](http://rea.tech/enter-the-pact-matrix-or-how-to-decouple-the-release-cycles-of-your-microservices/) for more on this strategy. Each interaction in a pact should be verified in isolation, with no context maintained from the previous interactions. So how do you test a request that requires data to exist on the provider? Provider states are how you achieve this using Pact. Provider states also allow the consumer to make the same request with different expected responses (e.g. different response codes, or the same resource with a different subset of data). States are configured on the consumer side when you issue a dsl.Given() clause with a corresponding request/response pair. Configuring the provider is a little more involved, and (currently) requires running an API endpoint to configure any [provider states](http://docs.pact.io/documentation/provider_states.html) during the verification process. The option you must provide to the dsl.VerifyRequest is: An example route using the standard Go http package might look like this: See the examples or read more at http://docs.pact.io/documentation/provider_states.html. See the Pact Broker (http://docs.pact.io/documentation/sharings_pacts.html) documentation for more details on the Broker and this article (http://rea.tech/enter-the-pact-matrix-or-how-to-decouple-the-release-cycles-of-your-microservices/) on how to make it work for you. Publishing using Go code: Publishing from the CLI: Use a cURL request like the following to PUT the pact to the right location, specifying your consumer name, provider name and consumer version. The following flags are required to use basic authentication when publishing or retrieving Pact files to/from a Pact Broker: Pact Go uses a simple log utility (logutils - https://github.com/hashicorp/logutils) to filter log messages. The CLI already contains flags to manage this, should you want to control log level in your tests, you can set it like so:
Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services. chi requires Go 1.7 or newer. Example: See github.com/go-chi/chi/_examples/ for more in-depth examples. URL patterns allow for easy matching of path components in HTTP requests. The matching components can then be accessed using chi.URLParam(). All patterns must begin with a slash. A simple named placeholder {name} matches any sequence of characters up to the next / or the end of the URL. Trailing slashes on paths must be handled explicitly. A placeholder with a name followed by a colon allows a regular expression match, for example {number:\\d+}. The regular expression syntax is Go's normal regexp RE2 syntax, except that regular expressions including { or } are not supported, and / will never be matched. An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+} The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only placeholder which will match / characters. Examples:

For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well:
Package golden provides functions for testing commands using smart strings and gold masters. A command must implement the Runner interface. It represents a black box system with inputs (the argument list) and outputs (the standard and error outputs, the panic and error messages, the exit code, and an optional file output). A test case is a value of Case type. It represents a set of input and output values. A test is performed using the Test function. The following example tests a command named "hello" that should print "Hello World!" to its standard output with an argument list equal to []string{"hello", "World"} (the first argument must be the command name). The command under test may be implemented using inner functions or may be generated from an external hello program using the Program function: The Test function supports smart validation strings and gold master files that define very flexible matches. The gold master pattern is commonly used when testing complex output: the expected string is saved to a file, the gold master, rather than to a validation string. The syntax of a smart validation string is very simple. A string equal to "golden" with an optional extension encodes a match to the content of a gold master file with the same extension. The file is stored in testdata/golden with name derived from the test case name: A string representing a valid regular expression delimited by the "^" and "$" characters encodes a full pattern matching: A string starting or ending with the "..." ellipsis encodes a partial match: A string escaped by the equal symbol represents the substring after the symbol: Any other string represents itself: All the gold masters used by TestXxx are updated by running the test with the update flag: All the gold masters are updates by running: See the testing files for usage examples.
Package restful , a lean package for creating REST-style WebServices without magic. A WebService has a collection of Route objects that dispatch incoming Http Requests to a function calls. Typically, a WebService has a root path (e.g. /users) and defines common MIME types for its routes. WebServices must be added to a container (see below) in order to handler Http requests from a server. A Route is defined by a HTTP method, an URL path and (optionally) the MIME types it consumes (Content-Type) and produces (Accept). This package has the logic to find the best matching Route and if found, call its Function. The (*Request, *Response) arguments provide functions for reading information from the request and writing information back to the response. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-user-resource.go with a full implementation. A Route parameter can be specified using the format "uri/{var[:regexp]}" or the special version "uri/{var:*}" for matching the tail of the path. For example, /persons/{name:[A-Z][A-Z]} can be used to restrict values for the parameter "name" to only contain capital alphabetic characters. Regular expressions must use the standard Go syntax as described in the regexp package. (https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax) This feature requires the use of a CurlyRouter. A Container holds a collection of WebServices, Filters and a http.ServeMux for multiplexing http requests. Using the statements "restful.Add(...) and restful.Filter(...)" will register WebServices and Filters to the Default Container. The Default container of go-restful uses the http.DefaultServeMux. You can create your own Container and create a new http.Server for that particular container. A filter dynamically intercepts requests and responses to transform or use the information contained in the requests or responses. You can use filters to perform generic logging, measurement, authentication, redirect, set response headers etc. In the restful package there are three hooks into the request,response flow where filters can be added. Each filter must define a FilterFunction: Use the following statement to pass the request,response pair to the next filter or RouteFunction These are processed before any registered WebService. These are processed before any Route of a WebService. These are processed before calling the function associated with the Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-filters.go with full implementations. Two encodings are supported: gzip and deflate. To enable this for all responses: If a Http request includes the Accept-Encoding header then the response content will be compressed using the specified encoding. Alternatively, you can create a Filter that performs the encoding and install it per WebService or Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-encoding-filter.go By installing a pre-defined container filter, your Webservice(s) can respond to the OPTIONS Http request. By installing the filter of a CrossOriginResourceSharing (CORS), your WebService(s) can handle CORS requests. Unexpected things happen. If a request cannot be processed because of a failure, your service needs to tell via the response what happened and why. For this reason HTTP status codes exist and it is important to use the correct code in every exceptional situation. If path or query parameters are not valid (content or type) then use http.StatusBadRequest. Despite a valid URI, the resource requested may not be available If the application logic could not process the request (or write the response) then use http.StatusInternalServerError. The request has a valid URL but the method (GET,PUT,POST,...) is not allowed. The request does not have or has an unknown Accept Header set for this operation. The request does not have or has an unknown Content-Type Header set for this operation. In addition to setting the correct (error) Http status code, you can choose to write a ServiceError message on the response. This package has several options that affect the performance of your service. It is important to understand them and how you can change it. DoNotRecover controls whether panics will be caught to return HTTP 500. If set to false, the container will recover from panics. Default value is true If content encoding is enabled then the default strategy for getting new gzip/zlib writers and readers is to use a sync.Pool. Because writers are expensive structures, performance is even more improved when using a preloaded cache. You can also inject your own implementation. This package has the means to produce detail logging of the complete Http request matching process and filter invocation. Enabling this feature requires you to set an implementation of restful.StdLogger (e.g. log.Logger) instance such as: The restful.SetLogger() method allows you to override the logger used by the package. By default restful uses the standard library `log` package and logs to stdout. Different logging packages are supported as long as they conform to `StdLogger` interface defined in the `log` sub-package, writing an adapter for your preferred package is simple.

Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services. chi requires Go 1.7 or newer. Example: See github.com/go-chi/chi/_examples/ for more in-depth examples. URL patterns allow for easy matching of path components in HTTP requests. The matching components can then be accessed using chi.URLParam(). All patterns must begin with a slash. A simple named placeholder {name} matches any sequence of characters up to the next / or the end of the URL. Trailing slashes on paths must be handled explicitly. A placeholder with a name followed by a colon allows a regular expression match, for example {number:\\d+}. The regular expression syntax is Go's normal regexp RE2 syntax, except that regular expressions including { or } are not supported, and / will never be matched. An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+} The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only placeholder which will match / characters. Examples:
Package xurls extracts urls from plain text using regular expressions.
Package gotime adds some handy functionality to the Golang time package. One of the main functions of this library is parsing ISO-8601 dates that do not include the full RFC3339 format. For example, something like time.Time.UnmarshalJSON("2018-07-14") will fail, whereas something like time.Time.UnmarshalJSON("2018-04-14 08:23:35Z") will succeed. The format constraints this library uses came from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 on 2018-195T10-05. The functions in equality.go ({Date,Time}Equals* and SameTime) can be used to compare part of a time.Time, for example to see if the dates are the same irrespective of the time zone or if just the time portion is the same down to the second. search.go contains functions for finding the first, last, and nth occurrence of a particular day in a month. These are handy, for example, when figuring out the date of a holiday such as Thanksgiving in the United States. The word "format" is used herein to mean "a valid first argument to time.Parse()". The Get{Date,Time}Format functions interrogate their string parameter, which should be an ISO-8601-compatible string, to determine the proper parsing format if possible. The difference between the Fast and Safely functions is that the former assume the input is valid while the latter will error if not. The Fast functions are fast because they use as few rudimentary string functions as possible to narrow down the possibilities and do no verification of the source value. The Safely functions are safer because they use regular expressions and determine the type using the "if it quacks like a duck" method, however they would not prevent you from passing a time like 99:00 Be sure to pass the entire timestamp to each function. The DateParser and TimeParser variables are set to the Fast functions by default, and this library uses those variables internally to determine which set of functions to use.
Package suite contains logic for creating testing suite structs and running the methods on those structs as tests. The most useful piece of this package is that you can create setup/teardown methods on your testing suites, which will run before/after the whole suite or individual tests (depending on which interface(s) you implement). A testing suite is usually built by first extending the built-in suite functionality from suite.Suite in testify. Alternatively, you could reproduce that logic on your own if you wanted (you just need to implement the TestingSuite interface from suite/interfaces.go). After that, you can implement any of the interfaces in suite/interfaces.go to add setup/teardown functionality to your suite, and add any methods that start with "Test" to add tests. Methods that do not match any suite interfaces and do not begin with "Test" will not be run by testify, and can safely be used as helper methods. Once you've built your testing suite, you need to run the suite (using suite.Run from testify) inside any function that matches the identity that "go test" is already looking for (i.e. func(*testing.T)). Regular expression to select test suites specified command-line argument "-run". Regular expression to select the methods of test suites specified command-line argument "-m". Suite object has assertion methods. A crude example:

Pact Go enables consumer driven contract testing, providing a mock service and DSL for the consumer project, and interaction playback and verification for the service provider project. Consumer side Pact testing is an isolated test that ensures a given component is able to collaborate with another (remote) component. Pact will automatically start a Mock server in the background that will act as the collaborators' test double. This implies that any interactions expected on the Mock server will be validated, meaning a test will fail if all interactions were not completed, or if unexpected interactions were found: A typical consumer-side test would look something like this: If this test completed successfully, a Pact file should have been written to ./pacts/my_consumer-my_provider.json containing all of the interactions expected to occur between the Consumer and Provider. In addition to verbatim value matching, you have 3 useful matching functions in the `dsl` package that can increase expressiveness and reduce brittle test cases. Here is a complex example that shows how all 3 terms can be used together: colour := Term("red", "red|green|blue") match := EachLike( This example will result in a response body from the mock server that looks like: See the examples in the dsl package and the matcher tests (https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/blob/master/dsl/matcher_test.go) for more matching examples. NOTE: You will need to use valid Ruby regular expressions (http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.5/Regexp.html) and double escape backslashes. Read more about flexible matching (https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-ruby/wiki/Regular-expressions-and-type-matching-with-Pact. Provider side Pact testing, involves verifying that the contract - the Pact file - can be satisfied by the Provider. A typical Provider side test would like something like: The `VerifyProvider` will handle all verifications, treating them as subtests and giving you granular test reporting. If you don't like this behaviour, you may call `VerifyProviderRaw` directly and handle the errors manually. Note that `PactURLs` may be a list of local pact files or remote based urls (possibly from a Pact Broker - http://docs.pact.io/documentation/sharings_pacts.html). Pact reads the specified pact files (from remote or local sources) and replays the interactions against a running Provider. If all of the interactions are met we can say that both sides of the contract are satisfied and the test passes. When validating a Provider, you have 3 options to provide the Pact files: 1. Use "PactURLs" to specify the exact set of pacts to be replayed: 2. Use "PactBroker" to automatically find all of the latest consumers: 3. Use "PactBroker" and "Tags" to automatically find all of the latest consumers: Options 2 and 3 are particularly useful when you want to validate that your Provider is able to meet the contracts of what's in Production and also the latest in development. See this [article](http://rea.tech/enter-the-pact-matrix-or-how-to-decouple-the-release-cycles-of-your-microservices/) for more on this strategy. Each interaction in a pact should be verified in isolation, with no context maintained from the previous interactions. So how do you test a request that requires data to exist on the provider? Provider states are how you achieve this using Pact. Provider states also allow the consumer to make the same request with different expected responses (e.g. different response codes, or the same resource with a different subset of data). States are configured on the consumer side when you issue a dsl.Given() clause with a corresponding request/response pair. Configuring the provider is a little more involved, and (currently) requires running an API endpoint to configure any [provider states](http://docs.pact.io/documentation/provider_states.html) during the verification process. The option you must provide to the dsl.VerifyRequest is: An example route using the standard Go http package might look like this: See the examples or read more at http://docs.pact.io/documentation/provider_states.html. See the Pact Broker (http://docs.pact.io/documentation/sharings_pacts.html) documentation for more details on the Broker and this article (http://rea.tech/enter-the-pact-matrix-or-how-to-decouple-the-release-cycles-of-your-microservices/) on how to make it work for you. Publishing using Go code: Publishing from the CLI: Use a cURL request like the following to PUT the pact to the right location, specifying your consumer name, provider name and consumer version. The following flags are required to use basic authentication when publishing or retrieving Pact files to/from a Pact Broker: Pact Go uses a simple log utility (logutils - https://github.com/hashicorp/logutils) to filter log messages. The CLI already contains flags to manage this, should you want to control log level in your tests, you can set it like so:

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

Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter" from it: Then register routes in the subrouter: The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is "www.example.com", because the subrouter is tested first. This is not only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route. Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its paths relatively to a given subrouter. There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix, the inner routes use it as base for their paths: Note that the path provided to PathPrefix() represents a "wildcard": calling PathPrefix("/static/").Handler(...) means that the handler will be passed any request that matches "/static/*". This makes it easy to serve static files with mux: Now let's see how to build registered URLs. Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built, or "reversed". We define a name calling Name() on a route. For example: To build a URL, get the route and call the URL() method, passing a sequence of key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do: ...and the result will be a url.URL with the following path: This also works for host and query value variables: All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match. Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do: ...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as `application/text` There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route: use the methods URLHost() or URLPath() instead. For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: Mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router, which are executed in the order they are added if a match is found, including its subrouters. Middlewares are (typically) small pieces of code which take one request, do something with it, and pass it down to another middleware or the final handler. Some common use cases for middleware are request logging, header manipulation, or ResponseWriter hijacking. Typically, the returned handler is a closure which does something with the http.ResponseWriter and http.Request passed to it, and then calls the handler passed as parameter to the MiddlewareFunc (closures can access variables from the context where they are created). A very basic middleware which logs the URI of the request being handled could be written as: Middlewares can be added to a router using `Router.Use()`: A more complex authentication middleware, which maps session token to users, could be written as: Note: The handler chain will be stopped if your middleware doesn't call `next.ServeHTTP()` with the corresponding parameters. This can be used to abort a request if the middleware writer wants to.
Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services. chi requires Go 1.7 or newer. Example: See github.com/go-chi/chi/_examples/ for more in-depth examples. URL patterns allow for easy matching of path components in HTTP requests. The matching components can then be accessed using chi.URLParam(). All patterns must begin with a slash. A simple named placeholder {name} matches any sequence of characters up to the next / or the end of the URL. Trailing slashes on paths must be handled explicitly. A placeholder with a name followed by a colon allows a regular expression match, for example {number:\\d+}. The regular expression syntax is Go's normal regexp RE2 syntax, except that regular expressions including { or } are not supported, and / will never be matched. An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+} The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only placeholder which will match / characters. Examples:
Package restful, a lean package for creating REST-style WebServices without magic. A WebService has a collection of Route objects that dispatch incoming Http Requests to a function calls. Typically, a WebService has a root path (e.g. /users) and defines common MIME types for its routes. WebServices must be added to a container (see below) in order to handler Http requests from a server. A Route is defined by a HTTP method, an URL path and (optionally) the MIME types it consumes (Content-Type) and produces (Accept). This package has the logic to find the best matching Route and if found, call its Function. The (*Request, *Response) arguments provide functions for reading information from the request and writing information back to the response. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-user-resource.go with a full implementation. A Route parameter can be specified using the format "uri/{var[:regexp]}" or the special version "uri/{var:*}" for matching the tail of the path. For example, /persons/{name:[A-Z][A-Z]} can be used to restrict values for the parameter "name" to only contain capital alphabetic characters. Regular expressions must use the standard Go syntax as described in the regexp package. (https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax) This feature requires the use of a CurlyRouter. A Container holds a collection of WebServices, Filters and a http.ServeMux for multiplexing http requests. Using the statements "restful.Add(...) and restful.Filter(...)" will register WebServices and Filters to the Default Container. The Default container of go-restful uses the http.DefaultServeMux. You can create your own Container and create a new http.Server for that particular container. A filter dynamically intercepts requests and responses to transform or use the information contained in the requests or responses. You can use filters to perform generic logging, measurement, authentication, redirect, set response headers etc. In the restful package there are three hooks into the request,response flow where filters can be added. Each filter must define a FilterFunction: Use the following statement to pass the request,response pair to the next filter or RouteFunction These are processed before any registered WebService. These are processed before any Route of a WebService. These are processed before calling the function associated with the Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-filters.go with full implementations. Two encodings are supported: gzip and deflate. To enable this for all responses: If a Http request includes the Accept-Encoding header then the response content will be compressed using the specified encoding. Alternatively, you can create a Filter that performs the encoding and install it per WebService or Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-encoding-filter.go By installing a pre-defined container filter, your Webservice(s) can respond to the OPTIONS Http request. By installing the filter of a CrossOriginResourceSharing (CORS), your WebService(s) can handle CORS requests. Unexpected things happen. If a request cannot be processed because of a failure, your service needs to tell via the response what happened and why. For this reason HTTP status codes exist and it is important to use the correct code in every exceptional situation. If path or query parameters are not valid (content or type) then use http.StatusBadRequest. Despite a valid URI, the resource requested may not be available If the application logic could not process the request (or write the response) then use http.StatusInternalServerError. The request has a valid URL but the method (GET,PUT,POST,...) is not allowed. The request does not have or has an unknown Accept Header set for this operation. The request does not have or has an unknown Content-Type Header set for this operation. In addition to setting the correct (error) Http status code, you can choose to write a ServiceError message on the response. This package has several options that affect the performance of your service. It is important to understand them and how you can change it. The default router is the RouterJSR311 which is an implementation of its spec (http://jsr311.java.net/nonav/releases/1.1/spec/spec.html). However, it uses regular expressions for all its routes which, depending on your usecase, may consume a significant amount of time. The CurlyRouter implementation is more lightweight that also allows you to use wildcards and expressions, but only if needed. DoNotRecover controls whether panics will be caught to return HTTP 500. If set to true, Route functions are responsible for handling any error situation. Default value is false; it will recover from panics. This has performance implications. SetCacheReadEntity controls whether the response data ([]byte) is cached such that ReadEntity is repeatable. If you expect to read large amounts of payload data, and you do not use this feature, you should set it to false. This package has the means to produce detail logging of the complete Http request matching process and filter invocation. Enabling this feature requires you to set a log.Logger instance such as: (c) 2012-2014, http://ernestmicklei.com. MIT License

Package skipper provides an HTTP routing library with flexible configuration as well as a runtime update of the routing rules. Skipper works as an HTTP reverse proxy that is responsible for mapping incoming requests to multiple HTTP backend services, based on routes that are selected by the request attributes. At the same time, both the requests and the responses can be augmented by a filter chain that is specifically defined for each route. Optionally, it can provide circuit breaker mechanism individually for each backend host. Skipper can load and update the route definitions from multiple data sources without being restarted. It provides a default executable command with a few built-in filters, however, its primary use case is to be extended with custom filters, predicates or data sources. For further information read 'Extending Skipper'. Skipper took the core design and inspiration from Vulcand: https://github.com/mailgun/vulcand. Skipper is 'go get' compatible. If needed, create a 'go workspace' first: Get the Skipper packages: Create a file with a route: Optionally, verify the syntax of the file: Start Skipper and make an HTTP request: The core of Skipper's request processing is implemented by a reverse proxy in the 'proxy' package. The proxy receives the incoming request, forwards it to the routing engine in order to receive the most specific matching route. When a route matches, the request is forwarded to all filters defined by it. The filters can modify the request or execute any kind of program logic. Once the request has been processed by all the filters, it is forwarded to the backend endpoint of the route. The response from the backend goes once again through all the filters in reverse order. Finally, it is mapped as the response of the original incoming request. Besides the default proxying mechanism, it is possible to define routes without a real network backend endpoint. One of these cases is called a 'shunt' backend, in which case one of the filters needs to handle the request providing its own response (e.g. the 'static' filter). Actually, filters themselves can instruct the request flow to shunt by calling the Serve(*http.Response) method of the filter context. Another case of a route without a network backend is the 'loopback'. A loopback route can be used to match a request, modified by filters, against the lookup tree with different conditions and then execute a different route. One example scenario can be to use a single route as an entry point to execute some calculation to get an A/B testing decision and then matching the updated request metadata for the actual destination route. This way the calculation can be executed for only those requests that don't contain information about a previously calculated decision. For further details, see the 'proxy' and 'filters' package documentation. Finding a request's route happens by matching the request attributes to the conditions in the route's definitions. Such definitions may have the following conditions: - method - path (optionally with wildcards) - path regular expressions - host regular expressions - headers - header regular expressions It is also possible to create custom predicates with any other matching criteria. The relation between the conditions in a route definition is 'and', meaning, that a request must fulfill each condition to match a route. For further details, see the 'routing' package documentation. Filters are applied in order of definition to the request and in reverse order to the response. They are used to modify request and response attributes, such as headers, or execute background tasks, like logging. Some filters may handle the requests without proxying them to service backends. Filters, depending on their implementation, may accept/require parameters, that are set specifically to the route. For further details, see the 'filters' package documentation. Each route has one of the following backends: HTTP endpoint, shunt or loopback. Backend endpoints can be any HTTP service. They are specified by their network address, including the protocol scheme, the domain name or the IP address, and optionally the port number: e.g. "https://www.example.org:4242". (The path and query are sent from the original request, or set by filters.) A shunt route means that Skipper handles the request alone and doesn't make requests to a backend service. In this case, it is the responsibility of one of the filters to generate the response. A loopback route executes the routing mechanism on current state of the request from the start, including the route lookup. This way it serves as a form of an internal redirect. Route definitions consist of the following: - request matching conditions (predicates) - filter chain (optional) - backend (either an HTTP endpoint or a shunt) The eskip package implements the in-memory and text representations of route definitions, including a parser. (Note to contributors: in order to stay compatible with 'go get', the generated part of the parser is stored in the repository. When changing the grammar, 'go generate' needs to be executed explicitly to update the parser.) For further details, see the 'eskip' package documentation Skipper has filter implementations of basic auth and OAuth2. It can be integrated with tokeninfo based OAuth2 providers. For details, see: https://godoc.org/github.com/zalando/skipper/filters/auth. Skipper's route definitions of Skipper are loaded from one or more data sources. It can receive incremental updates from those data sources at runtime. It provides three different data clients: - Kubernetes: Skipper can be used as part of a Kubernetes Ingress Controller implementation together with https://github.com/zalando-incubator/kube-ingress-aws-controller . In this scenario, Skipper uses the Kubernetes API's Ingress extensions as a source for routing. For a complete deployment example, see more details in: https://github.com/zalando-incubator/kubernetes-on-aws/ . - Innkeeper: the Innkeeper service implements a storage for large sets of Skipper routes, with an HTTP+JSON API, OAuth2 authentication and role management. See the 'innkeeper' package and https://github.com/zalando/innkeeper. - etcd: Skipper can load routes and receive updates from etcd clusters (https://github.com/coreos/etcd). See the 'etcd' package. - static file: package eskipfile implements a simple data client, which can load route definitions from a static file in eskip format. Currently, it loads the routes on startup. It doesn't support runtime updates. Skipper can use additional data sources, provided by extensions. Sources must implement the DataClient interface in the routing package. Skipper provides circuit breakers, configured either globally, based on backend hosts or based on individual routes. It supports two types of circuit breaker behavior: open on N consecutive failures, or open on N failures out of M requests. For details, see: https://godoc.org/github.com/zalando/skipper/circuit. Skipper can be started with the default executable command 'skipper', or as a library built into an application. The easiest way to start Skipper as a library is to execute the 'Run' function of the current, root package. Each option accepted by the 'Run' function is wired in the default executable as well, as a command line flag. E.g. EtcdUrls becomes -etcd-urls as a comma separated list. For command line help, enter: An additional utility, eskip, can be used to verify, print, update and delete routes from/to files or etcd (Innkeeper on the roadmap). See the cmd/eskip command package, and/or enter in the command line: Skipper doesn't use dynamically loaded plugins, however, it can be used as a library, and it can be extended with custom predicates, filters and/or custom data sources. To create a custom predicate, one needs to implement the PredicateSpec interface in the routing package. Instances of the PredicateSpec are used internally by the routing package to create the actual Predicate objects as referenced in eskip routes, with concrete arguments. Example, randompredicate.go: In the above example, a custom predicate is created, that can be referenced in eskip definitions with the name 'Random': To create a custom filter we need to implement the Spec interface of the filters package. 'Spec' is the specification of a filter, and it is used to create concrete filter instances, while the raw route definitions are processed. Example, hellofilter.go: The above example creates a filter specification, and in the routes where they are included, the filter instances will set the 'X-Hello' header for each and every response. The name of the filter is 'hello', and in a route definition it is referenced as: The easiest way to create a custom Skipper variant is to implement the required filters (as in the example above) by importing the Skipper package, and starting it with the 'Run' command. Example, hello.go: A file containing the routes, routes.eskip: Start the custom router: The 'Run' function in the root Skipper package starts its own listener but it doesn't provide the best composability. The proxy package, however, provides a standard http.Handler, so it is possible to use it in a more complex solution as a building block for routing. Skipper provides detailed logging of failures, and access logs in Apache log format. Skipper also collects detailed performance metrics, and exposes them on a separate listener endpoint for pulling snapshots. For details, see the 'logging' and 'metrics' packages documentation. The router's performance depends on the environment and on the used filters. Under ideal circumstances, and without filters, the biggest time factor is the route lookup. Skipper is able to scale to thousands of routes with logarithmic performance degradation. However, this comes at the cost of increased memory consumption, due to storing the whole lookup tree in a single structure. Benchmarks for the tree lookup can be run by: In case more aggressive scale is needed, it is possible to setup Skipper in a cascade model, with multiple Skipper instances for specific route segments.
Package regexp implements regular expression search. The syntax of the regular expressions accepted is the same general syntax used by Perl, Python, and other languages. More precisely, it is the syntax accepted by RE2 and described at https://golang.org/s/re2syntax, except for \C. For an overview of the syntax, run The regexp implementation provided by this package is guaranteed to run in time linear in the size of the input. (This is a property not guaranteed by most open source implementations of regular expressions.) For more information about this property, see or any book about automata theory. All characters are UTF-8-encoded code points. Following utf8.DecodeRune, each byte of an invalid UTF-8 sequence is treated as if it encoded utf8.RuneError (U+FFFD). There are 16 methods of Regexp that match a regular expression and identify the matched text. Their names are matched by this regular expression: If 'All' is present, the routine matches successive non-overlapping matches of the entire expression. Empty matches abutting a preceding match are ignored. The return value is a slice containing the successive return values of the corresponding non-'All' routine. These routines take an extra integer argument, n. If n >= 0, the function returns at most n matches/submatches; otherwise, it returns all of them. If 'String' is present, the argument is a string; otherwise it is a slice of bytes; return values are adjusted as appropriate. If 'Submatch' is present, the return value is a slice identifying the successive submatches of the expression. Submatches are matches of parenthesized subexpressions (also known as capturing groups) within the regular expression, numbered from left to right in order of opening parenthesis. Submatch 0 is the match of the entire expression, submatch 1 is the match of the first parenthesized subexpression, and so on. If 'Index' is present, matches and submatches are identified by byte index pairs within the input string: result[2*n:2*n+2] identifies the indexes of the nth submatch. The pair for n==0 identifies the match of the entire expression. If 'Index' is not present, the match is identified by the text of the match/submatch. If an index is negative or text is nil, it means that subexpression did not match any string in the input. For 'String' versions an empty string means either no match or an empty match. There is also a subset of the methods that can be applied to text read from a RuneReader: This set may grow. Note that regular expression matches may need to examine text beyond the text returned by a match, so the methods that match text from a RuneReader may read arbitrarily far into the input before returning. (There are a few other methods that do not match this pattern.)
Package mux implements a request router and dispatcher. The name mux stands for "HTTP request multiplexer". Like the standard http.ServeMux, mux.Router matches incoming requests against a list of registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL or other conditions. The main features are: Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers: Here we register three routes mapping URL paths to handlers. This is equivalent to how http.HandleFunc() works: if an incoming request URL matches one of the paths, the corresponding handler is called passing (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) as parameters. Paths can have variables. They are defined using the format {name} or {name:pattern}. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched variable will be anything until the next slash. For example: Groups can be used inside patterns, as long as they are non-capturing (?:re). For example: The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling mux.Vars(): Note that if any capturing groups are present, mux will panic() during parsing. To prevent this, convert any capturing groups to non-capturing, e.g. change "/{sort:(asc|desc)}" to "/{sort:(?:asc|desc)}". This is a change from prior versions which behaved unpredictably when capturing groups were present. And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below. Routes can also be restricted to a domain or subdomain. Just define a host pattern to be matched. They can also have variables: There are several other matchers that can be added. To match path prefixes: ...or HTTP methods: ...or URL schemes: ...or header values: ...or query values: ...or to use a custom matcher function: ...and finally, it is possible to combine several matchers in a single route: Setting the same matching conditions again and again can be boring, so we have a way to group several routes that share the same requirements. We call it "subrouting". For example, let's say we have several URLs that should only match when the host is "www.example.com". Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter" from it: Then register routes in the subrouter: The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is "www.example.com", because the subrouter is tested first. This is not only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route. Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its paths relatively to a given subrouter. There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix, the inner routes use it as base for their paths: Note that the path provided to PathPrefix() represents a "wildcard": calling PathPrefix("/static/").Handler(...) means that the handler will be passed any request that matches "/static/*". This makes it easy to serve static files with mux: Now let's see how to build registered URLs. Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built, or "reversed". We define a name calling Name() on a route. For example: To build a URL, get the route and call the URL() method, passing a sequence of key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do: ...and the result will be a url.URL with the following path: This also works for host and query value variables: All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match. Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do: ...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as `application/text` There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route: use the methods URLHost() or URLPath() instead. For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: Since **vX.Y.Z**, mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router(https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/mux#Router), which are executed if a match is found (including subrouters). Middlewares are defined using the de facto standard type: Typically, the returned handler is a closure which does something with the http.ResponseWriter and http.Request passed to it, and then calls the handler passed as parameter to the MiddlewareFunc (closures can access variables from the context where they are created). A very basic middleware which logs the URI of the request being handled could be written as: Middlewares can be added to a router using `Router.Use()`: A more complex authentication middleware, which maps session token to users, could be written as: Note: The handler chain will be stopped if your middleware doesn't call `next.ServeHTTP()` with the corresponding parameters. This can be used to abort a request if the middleware writer wants to.

An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+} The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only placeholder which will match / characters. Examples:
Package restful, a lean package for creating REST-style WebServices without magic. A WebService has a collection of Route objects that dispatch incoming Http Requests to a function calls. Typically, a WebService has a root path (e.g. /users) and defines common MIME types for its routes. WebServices must be added to a container (see below) in order to handler Http requests from a server. A Route is defined by a HTTP method, an URL path and (optionally) the MIME types it consumes (Content-Type) and produces (Accept). This package has the logic to find the best matching Route and if found, call its Function. The (*Request, *Response) arguments provide functions for reading information from the request and writing information back to the response. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-user-resource.go with a full implementation. A Route parameter can be specified using the format "uri/{var[:regexp]}" or the special version "uri/{var:*}" for matching the tail of the path. For example, /persons/{name:[A-Z][A-Z]} can be used to restrict values for the parameter "name" to only contain capital alphabetic characters. Regular expressions must use the standard Go syntax as described in the regexp package. (https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax) This feature requires the use of a CurlyRouter. A Container holds a collection of WebServices, Filters and a http.ServeMux for multiplexing http requests. Using the statements "restful.Add(...) and restful.Filter(...)" will register WebServices and Filters to the Default Container. The Default container of go-restful uses the http.DefaultServeMux. You can create your own Container and create a new http.Server for that particular container. A filter dynamically intercepts requests and responses to transform or use the information contained in the requests or responses. You can use filters to perform generic logging, measurement, authentication, redirect, set response headers etc. In the restful package there are three hooks into the request,response flow where filters can be added. Each filter must define a FilterFunction: Use the following statement to pass the request,response pair to the next filter or RouteFunction These are processed before any registered WebService. These are processed before any Route of a WebService. These are processed before calling the function associated with the Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-filters.go with full implementations. Two encodings are supported: gzip and deflate. To enable this for all responses: If a Http request includes the Accept-Encoding header then the response content will be compressed using the specified encoding. Alternatively, you can create a Filter that performs the encoding and install it per WebService or Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-encoding-filter.go By installing a pre-defined container filter, your Webservice(s) can respond to the OPTIONS Http request. By installing the filter of a CrossOriginResourceSharing (CORS), your WebService(s) can handle CORS requests. Unexpected things happen. If a request cannot be processed because of a failure, your service needs to tell via the response what happened and why. For this reason HTTP status codes exist and it is important to use the correct code in every exceptional situation. If path or query parameters are not valid (content or type) then use http.StatusBadRequest. Despite a valid URI, the resource requested may not be available If the application logic could not process the request (or write the response) then use http.StatusInternalServerError. The request has a valid URL but the method (GET,PUT,POST,...) is not allowed. The request does not have or has an unknown Accept Header set for this operation. The request does not have or has an unknown Content-Type Header set for this operation. In addition to setting the correct (error) Http status code, you can choose to write a ServiceError message on the response. This package has several options that affect the performance of your service. It is important to understand them and how you can change it. The default router is the RouterJSR311 which is an implementation of its spec (http://jsr311.java.net/nonav/releases/1.1/spec/spec.html). However, it uses regular expressions for all its routes which, depending on your usecase, may consume a significant amount of time. The CurlyRouter implementation is more lightweight that also allows you to use wildcards and expressions, but only if needed. DoNotRecover controls whether panics will be caught to return HTTP 500. If set to true, Route functions are responsible for handling any error situation. Default value is false; it will recover from panics. This has performance implications. SetCacheReadEntity controls whether the response data ([]byte) is cached such that ReadEntity is repeatable. If you expect to read large amounts of payload data, and you do not use this feature, you should set it to false. This package has the means to produce detail logging of the complete Http request matching process and filter invocation. Enabling this feature requires you to set a log.Logger instance such as: (c) 2012-2014, http://ernestmicklei.com. MIT License
Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services. chi requires Go 1.10 or newer. Example: See github.com/go-chi/chi/_examples/ for more in-depth examples. URL patterns allow for easy matching of path components in HTTP requests. The matching components can then be accessed using chi.URLParam(). All patterns must begin with a slash. A simple named placeholder {name} matches any sequence of characters up to the next / or the end of the URL. Trailing slashes on paths must be handled explicitly. A placeholder with a name followed by a colon allows a regular expression match, for example {number:\\d+}. The regular expression syntax is Go's normal regexp RE2 syntax, except that regular expressions including { or } are not supported, and / will never be matched. An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+} The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only placeholder which will match / characters. Examples:
Package mux implements a request router and dispatcher. The name mux stands for "HTTP request multiplexer". Like the standard http.ServeMux, mux.Router matches incoming requests against a list of registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL or other conditions. The main features are: Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers: Here we register three routes mapping URL paths to handlers. This is equivalent to how http.HandleFunc() works: if an incoming request URL matches one of the paths, the corresponding handler is called passing (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) as parameters. Paths can have variables. They are defined using the format {name} or {name:pattern}. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched variable will be anything until the next slash. For example: Groups can be used inside patterns, as long as they are non-capturing (?:re). For example: The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling mux.Vars(): Note that if any capturing groups are present, mux will panic() during parsing. To prevent this, convert any capturing groups to non-capturing, e.g. change "/{sort:(asc|desc)}" to "/{sort:(?:asc|desc)}". This is a change from prior versions which behaved unpredictably when capturing groups were present. And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below. Routes can also be restricted to a domain or subdomain. Just define a host pattern to be matched. They can also have variables: There are several other matchers that can be added. To match path prefixes: ...or HTTP methods: ...or URL schemes: ...or header values: ...or query values: ...or to use a custom matcher function: ...and finally, it is possible to combine several matchers in a single route: Setting the same matching conditions again and again can be boring, so we have a way to group several routes that share the same requirements. We call it "subrouting". For example, let's say we have several URLs that should only match when the host is "www.example.com". Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter" from it: Then register routes in the subrouter: The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is "www.example.com", because the subrouter is tested first. This is not only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route. Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its paths relatively to a given subrouter. There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix, the inner routes use it as base for their paths: Note that the path provided to PathPrefix() represents a "wildcard": calling PathPrefix("/static/").Handler(...) means that the handler will be passed any request that matches "/static/*". This makes it easy to serve static files with mux: Now let's see how to build registered URLs. Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built, or "reversed". We define a name calling Name() on a route. For example: To build a URL, get the route and call the URL() method, passing a sequence of key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do: ...and the result will be a url.URL with the following path: This also works for host and query value variables: All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match. Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do: ...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as `application/text` There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route: use the methods URLHost() or URLPath() instead. For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: Since **vX.Y.Z**, mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router(https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/mux#Router), which are executed if a match is found (including subrouters). Middlewares are defined using the de facto standard type: Typically, the returned handler is a closure which does something with the http.ResponseWriter and http.Request passed to it, and then calls the handler passed as parameter to the MiddlewareFunc (closures can access variables from the context where they are created). A very basic middleware which logs the URI of the request being handled could be written as: Middlewares can be added to a router using `Router.Use()`: A more complex authentication middleware, which maps session token to users, could be written as: Note: The handler chain will be stopped if your middleware doesn't call `next.ServeHTTP()` with the corresponding parameters. This can be used to abort a request if the middleware writer wants to.

Unfortunately, RegExp requires backtracking for some patterns, and backtracking is not supported by the standard Go engine: https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax Therefore, the following syntax is incompatible: A brief discussion of these limitations: "Regexp (?!re)" https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#%21topic/golang-nuts/7qgSDWPIh_E More information about re2: https://code.google.com/p/re2/ In addition to the above, re2 (Go) has a different definition for \s: [\t\n\f\r ]. The JavaScript definition, on the other hand, also includes \v, Unicode "Separator, Space", etc. If you want to stop long running executions (like third-party code), you can use the interrupt channel to do this: Where is setTimeout/setInterval? These timing functions are not actually part of the ECMA-262 specification. Typically, they belong to the `windows` object (in the browser). It would not be difficult to provide something like these via Go, but you probably want to wrap otto in an event loop in that case. For an example of how this could be done in Go with otto, see natto: http://github.com/robertkrimen/natto Here is some more discussion of the issue: * http://book.mixu.net/node/ch2.html * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentrancy_%28computing%29 * http://aaroncrane.co.uk/2009/02/perl_safe_signals/
Package restful, a lean package for creating REST-style WebServices without magic. A WebService has a collection of Route objects that dispatch incoming Http Requests to a function calls. Typically, a WebService has a root path (e.g. /users) and defines common MIME types for its routes. WebServices must be added to a container (see below) in order to handler Http requests from a server. A Route is defined by a HTTP method, an URL path and (optionally) the MIME types it consumes (Content-Type) and produces (Accept). This package has the logic to find the best matching Route and if found, call its Function. The (*Request, *Response) arguments provide functions for reading information from the request and writing information back to the response. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-user-resource.go with a full implementation. A Route parameter can be specified using the format "uri/{var[:regexp]}" or the special version "uri/{var:*}" for matching the tail of the path. For example, /persons/{name:[A-Z][A-Z]} can be used to restrict values for the parameter "name" to only contain capital alphabetic characters. Regular expressions must use the standard Go syntax as described in the regexp package. (https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax) This feature requires the use of a CurlyRouter. A Container holds a collection of WebServices, Filters and a http.ServeMux for multiplexing http requests. Using the statements "restful.Add(...) and restful.Filter(...)" will register WebServices and Filters to the Default Container. The Default container of go-restful uses the http.DefaultServeMux. You can create your own Container and create a new http.Server for that particular container. A filter dynamically intercepts requests and responses to transform or use the information contained in the requests or responses. You can use filters to perform generic logging, measurement, authentication, redirect, set response headers etc. In the restful package there are three hooks into the request,response flow where filters can be added. Each filter must define a FilterFunction: Use the following statement to pass the request,response pair to the next filter or RouteFunction These are processed before any registered WebService. These are processed before any Route of a WebService. These are processed before calling the function associated with the Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-filters.go with full implementations. Two encodings are supported: gzip and deflate. To enable this for all responses: If a Http request includes the Accept-Encoding header then the response content will be compressed using the specified encoding. Alternatively, you can create a Filter that performs the encoding and install it per WebService or Route. See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-encoding-filter.go By installing a pre-defined container filter, your Webservice(s) can respond to the OPTIONS Http request. By installing the filter of a CrossOriginResourceSharing (CORS), your WebService(s) can handle CORS requests. Unexpected things happen. If a request cannot be processed because of a failure, your service needs to tell via the response what happened and why. For this reason HTTP status codes exist and it is important to use the correct code in every exceptional situation. If path or query parameters are not valid (content or type) then use http.StatusBadRequest. Despite a valid URI, the resource requested may not be available If the application logic could not process the request (or write the response) then use http.StatusInternalServerError. The request has a valid URL but the method (GET,PUT,POST,...) is not allowed. The request does not have or has an unknown Accept Header set for this operation. The request does not have or has an unknown Content-Type Header set for this operation. In addition to setting the correct (error) Http status code, you can choose to write a ServiceError message on the response. This package has several options that affect the performance of your service. It is important to understand them and how you can change it. The default router is the RouterJSR311 which is an implementation of its spec (http://jsr311.java.net/nonav/releases/1.1/spec/spec.html). However, it uses regular expressions for all its routes which, depending on your usecase, may consume a significant amount of time. The CurlyRouter implementation is more lightweight that also allows you to use wildcards and expressions, but only if needed. DoNotRecover controls whether panics will be caught to return HTTP 500. If set to true, Route functions are responsible for handling any error situation. Default value is false; it will recover from panics. This has performance implications. SetCacheReadEntity controls whether the response data ([]byte) is cached such that ReadEntity is repeatable. If you expect to read large amounts of payload data, and you do not use this feature, you should set it to false. This package has the means to produce detail logging of the complete Http request matching process and filter invocation. Enabling this feature requires you to set a log.Logger instance such as: (c) 2012-2014, http://ernestmicklei.com. MIT License

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

For the previous route, we would do: And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: Mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router, which are executed in the order they are added if a match is found, including its subrouters. Middlewares are (typically) small pieces of code which take one request, do something with it, and pass it down to another middleware or the final handler. Some common use cases for middleware are request logging, header manipulation, or ResponseWriter hijacking. Typically, the returned handler is a closure which does something with the http.ResponseWriter and http.Request passed to it, and then calls the handler passed as parameter to the MiddlewareFunc (closures can access variables from the context where they are created). A very basic middleware which logs the URI of the request being handled could be written as: Middlewares can be added to a router using `Router.Use()`: A more complex authentication middleware, which maps session token to users, could be written as: Note: The handler chain will be stopped if your middleware doesn't call `next.ServeHTTP()` with the corresponding parameters. This can be used to abort a request if the middleware writer wants to.
Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services. chi requires Go 1.7 or newer. Example: See github.com/go-chi/chi/_examples/ for more in-depth examples. URL patterns allow for easy matching of path components in HTTP requests. The matching components can then be accessed using chi.URLParam(). All patterns must begin with a slash. A simple named placeholder {name} matches any sequence of characters up to the next / or the end of the URL. Trailing slashes on paths must be handled explicitly. A placeholder with a name followed by a colon allows a regular expression match, for example {number:\\d+}. The regular expression syntax is Go's normal regexp RE2 syntax, except that regular expressions including { or } are not supported, and / will never be matched. An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+} The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only placeholder which will match / characters. Examples:
