Package bolt implements a low-level key/value store in pure Go. It supports fully serializable transactions, ACID semantics, and lock-free MVCC with multiple readers and a single writer. Bolt can be used for projects that want a simple data store without the need to add large dependencies such as Postgres or MySQL. Bolt is a single-level, zero-copy, B+tree data store. This means that Bolt is optimized for fast read access and does not require recovery in the event of a system crash. Transactions which have not finished committing will simply be rolled back in the event of a crash. The design of Bolt is based on Howard Chu's LMDB database project. Bolt currently works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. There are only a few types in Bolt: DB, Bucket, Tx, and Cursor. The DB is a collection of buckets and is represented by a single file on disk. A bucket is a collection of unique keys that are associated with values. Transactions provide either read-only or read-write access to the database. Read-only transactions can retrieve key/value pairs and can use Cursors to iterate over the dataset sequentially. Read-write transactions can create and delete buckets and can insert and remove keys. Only one read-write transaction is allowed at a time. The database uses a read-only, memory-mapped data file to ensure that applications cannot corrupt the database, however, this means that keys and values returned from Bolt cannot be changed. Writing to a read-only byte slice will cause Go to panic. Keys and values retrieved from the database are only valid for the life of the transaction. When used outside the transaction, these byte slices can point to different data or can point to invalid memory which will cause a panic.

Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json This package implements three Handlers that add debugging information to the context, CallerFileHandler, CallerFuncHandler and CallerStackHandler. Here's an example that adds the source file and line number of each logging call to the context. This will output a line that looks like: Here's an example that logs the call stack rather than just the call site. This will output a line that looks like: The "%+v" format instructs the handler to include the path of the source file relative to the compile time GOPATH. The github.com/go-stack/stack package documents the full list of formatting verbs and modifiers available. The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy type. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

Package decimal implements immutable decimal floating-point numbers. It is specifically designed for transactional financial systems and adheres to the principles set by ANSI X3.274-1996. Decimal is a struct with three fields: The numerical value of a decimal is calculated as follows: This approach allows the same numeric value to have multiple representations, for example, 1, 1.0, and 1.00, which represent the same value but have different scales and coefficients. The range of a decimal is determined by its scale. Here are the ranges for frequently used scales: Subnormal numbers are not supported to ensure peak performance. Consequently, decimals between -0.00000000000000000005 and 0.00000000000000000005 inclusive, are rounded to 0. Special values such as NaN, Infinity, or negative zeros are not supported. This ensures that arithmetic operations always produce either valid decimals or errors. Each arithmetic operation occurs in two steps: The operation is initially performed using uint64 arithmetic. If no overflow occurs, the exact result is immediately returned. If overflow occurs, the operation proceeds to step 2. The operation is repeated with increased precision using big.Int arithmetic. The result is then rounded to 19 digits. If no significant digits are lost during rounding, the inexact result is returned. If any significant digit is lost, an overflow error is returned. Step 1 improves performance by avoiding performance impact associated with big.Int arithmetic. It is expected that, in transactional financial systems, most arithmetic operations will compute an exact result during step 1. The following rules determine the significance of digits during step 2: Unlike many other decimal libraries, this package does not provide an explicit context. Instead, the context is implicit and can be approximately equated to the following settings: The equality of Etiny and Emin implies that this package does not support subnormal numbers. Implicit rounding is applied when a result exceeds 19 digits, rounding it to 19 digits using half-to-even rounding. This method ensures that rounding errors are evenly distributed between rounding up and down. For all arithmetic operations, except for Decimal.Pow and Decimal.PowExact, the result is the one that would be obtained by computing the exact mathematical result with infinite precision and then rounding it to 19 digits. Decimal.Pow and Decimal.PowExact may occasionally produce a result that is off by 1 unit in the last place. In addition to implicit rounding, the package provides several methods for explicit rounding: See the documentation for each method for more details. All methods are panic-free and pure. Errors are returned in the following cases: Division by Zero. Unlike the standard library, Decimal.Quo, Decimal.QuoRem, and Decimal.Inv do not panic when dividing by 0. Instead, they return an error. Invalid Operation. Decimal.Pow and Decimal.PowExact return an error if 0 is raised to a negative power. Overflow. Unlike standard integers, there is no "wrap around" for decimals at certain sizes. For out-of-range values, arithmetic operations return an error. Errors are not returned in the following cases: JSON. The package integrates seamlessly with standard encoding/json through the implementation of encoding.TextMarshaller and encoding.TextUnmarshaler interfaces. Here is an example structure: The package marshals decimals as quoted strings, ensuring the preservation of the exact numerical value. Here is an example OpenAPI schema: XML. The package integrates with standard encoding/xml via the implementation of encoding.TextMarshaller and encoding.TextUnmarshaler interfaces. Here is an example structure: "xs:decimal" type can be used to represent decimals in XML schema. It is possible to impose restrictions on the length of the decimals using the following type: Protocol Buffers. Protocol Buffers can represent decimals as numerical strings, preserving trailing zeros. To convert between numerical strings and decimals, use Parse and Decimal.String. Here is an example proto definition: Alternatively, decimals can be represented as two integers: one for the integer part and another for the fractional part. For conversion between this format and decimals, use NewFromInt64 and Decimal.Int64 with a scale argument equal to "9". Here is an example proto definition: SQL. The package integrates with the standard database/sql via the implementation of sql.Scanner and driver.Valuer interfaces. To ensure accurate preservation of decimal scales, it is essential to choose appropriate column types: Here are the reasons: For PostgreSQL, always use DECIMAL without precision or scale specifications (avoid DECIMAL(p) or DECIMAL(p, s)). DECIMAL accurately preserves the scale of decimals. In SQLite, prefer TEXT, since DECIMAL is just an alias for floating-point numbers. TEXT preserves the scale of decimals. In MySQL, use DECIMAL(19, d), as DECIMAL is just an alias for DECIMAL(10, 0). The disadvantage of this format is that MySQL automatically rescales all decimals: values with a scale exceeding "d" are rounded (using half away from zero), while those with a lower scale are padded with trailing zeros. To avoid automatic rescaling, consider using VARCHAR(22). This example demonstrates the advantage of decimals for financial calculations. It computes the sum 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1. In decimal arithmetic, the result is exactly 1.0. In float64 arithmetic, the result slightly deviates from 1.0 due to binary floating-point representation. This example calculates an approximate value of π using the Leibniz formula. The Leibniz formula is an infinite series that converges to π/4, and is given by the equation: 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + ... = π/4. This example computes the series up to the 500,000th term using decimal arithmetic and returns the approximate value of π. This example implements a simple calculator that evaluates mathematical expressions written in postfix notation. The calculator can handle basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Package wdte implements the WDTE scripting language. WDTE is an embeddable, functionalish scripting language with a primary goal of simplicity of use from the embedding side, which is what this package provides. In order to understand how this package works, an overview of the language itself is first necessary. WDTE is functional-ish, with some emphasis on the "-ish". Although it generally follows a functional design, it is not purely functional. In WDTE, everything is a function in that everything can be "called", optionally with arguments. Value types return themselves, however, allowing them to be passed around. WDTE contains a construct called a "compound" which is similar to a function body in most languages. It is surrounded by parentheses and contains a semicolon separated list of expressions, with the last semicolon being optional. The top-level of a WDTE script is a compound without the parentheses. When a compound is executed, each expression is evaluated in turn. If any yield an error, that error is immediately returned from the entire compound. If not, the result of the last expression is returned. Example 1 There are very few functions built-in in WDTE, but the standard library, found in the std directory and its subdirectories, contains a number of useful functions and definitions. For example, the stream module contains iterator functionality, which provides a means of looping over expressions, something which is otherwise not possible. Example 2 This example also demonstrates "chains" and "switches", some features that seem complicated at first but quickly become second nature so with some practice. A chain is a series of expressions separated by either the chain operator, "->", the ignored chain operator, "--", or the error chain operator, "-|". Each piece of the chain is executed in turn, and the output of the previous section is passed as an argument to the output of the current section. In other words, in the previous example, the chain's execution matches the following pseudocode A chain with a use of "--" operates in much the same way, but the output of the piece of the chain immediately following the operator is ignored, meaning that it doesn't affect the remainder of the chain. The "-|" chain operator is used for error handling. During the evaluation of a chain, if no errors have occurred, chain segements using "-|" are ignored completely. Unlike with "--", they are completely not executed. If, however, an error occurs, all chain segments that don't use "-|" are ignored instead. If a "-|" segment exists in the chain after the location that the error occurred, then that segment is executed next, following which normal execution continues, unless that segment itself returned an error. If no "-|" segment exists, the error is returned from the entire chain. Chains can also have "slots" assigned to each piece. This is an identifier immediately following the expression of a piece of chain. This identifier is inserted into the scope for the remainder of the chain, allowing manual access to earlier sections of the chain. For example The aforementioned switch expression is the only conditional provided by WDTE. It looks like an expression followed by a semicolon separated series of cases in squiggly braces. A case is two expressions separated by the assignment operator, "=>". The original expression is first evaluated, following which each case's left-hand side is evaluated and the result of the original expression's evaluation is passed to it. If and only if this call results in the boolean value true, the right-hand side of that case is returned. If no cases match, the original expression is returned. For example, This is analogous to the following pseudocode A few more minor points exist as well: As previously mentioned, everything in WDTE is a function. In Go terms, everything in WDTE implements the Func type defined in this package. This includes syntactic constructs as well, such as compounds, switches, and chains. When a script is parsed by one of the parsing functions in this package, it is translated into a recursive series of Func implementations. The specific types that it is translated to are all defined in and exported by this package. For example, the top-level of a script, being itself a compound, results in the instantiation of a Compound. What this means in terms of embedding is that the only thing required for interaction between Go and WDTE is an interoperative layer of Func implementations. As a functional language, WDTE is stateless; there is no global interpreter state to keep track of at all. Systems for tracking interpreter state, should they be required, are provided by the repl package. When a Func is called, it is passed a Frame. A Frame keeps track of anything the function needs that isn't directly an argument to the function. This includes the scope in which the Func call should be evaluated. For example, the expression translates to an instance of the FuncCall implementation of Func. When the FuncCall is "called", it must be given a scope which contains, at a minimum, "func", "arg1", and "arg2", or the call will fail with an error. It is through this mechanism that new functions can be provided to WDTE. A custom scope can be created with new implementations of Func inserted into it. If this scope is inserted into a Frame which is then passed to a call of, for example, the top-level compound created by parsing a script, they will be available during the evaluation. Example: This will print "This is an example." to stdout. For convenience, a simple function wrapper around the single method required by Func is provided in the form of GoFunc. GoFunc provides a number of extra features, such as automatically converting panics into errors, but for the most part is just a simple wrapper around manual implementations of Func. If more automatic behavior is required, possibly at the cost of some runtime performance, functions for automatically wrapping Go functions are provided in the wdteutil package.

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

Alias Validators and Tags NOTE: When returning an error, the tag returned in "FieldError" will be the alias tag unless the dive tag is part of the alias. Everything after the dive tag is not reported as the alias tag. Also, the "ActualTag" in the before case will be the actual tag within the alias that failed. Here is a list of the current built in alias tags: Validator notes: A collection of validation rules that are frequently needed but are more complex than the ones found in the baked in validators. A non standard validator must be registered manually like you would with your own custom validation functions. Example of registration and use: Here is a list of the current non standard validators: This package panics when bad input is provided, this is by design, bad code like that should not make it to production.

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

Package twofa provides a middleware for implementing two-factor authentication (2FA) in a Fiber application. It supports time-based one-time password (TOTP) authentication using the HMAC-based One-Time Password (HOTP) algorithm. To use this middleware in a Fiber project, Go must be installed and set up. 1. Install the package using Go modules: 2. Import the package in the Fiber application: To use the 2FA middleware in a Fiber application, create a new instance of the middleware with the desired configuration and register it with the application. Note: This 2FA middleware requires c.Locals to be set before using it. Use the fiber.Ctx.Locals middleware to set c.Locals. In the example above, the fiber.Locals middleware is used to set c.Locals with the "email" key and the corresponding value. This value can be accessed in the 2FA middleware using the ContextKey specified in the configuration. The 2FA middleware is then created with a configuration that specifies the issuer name, context key, and storage provider. The 2FA middleware accepts a twofa.Config struct for configuration. The available options are: The 2FA middleware requires a storage provider to store the 2FA information for each user. The storage provider should implement the fiber.Storage interface. You can use any storage provider that implements the fiber.Storage interface, such as: The 2FA information is stored in the storage using the ContextKey as the unique identifier. The ContextKey is bound to the raw value (2FA information) in the storage. The 2FA middleware provides a route for generating QR codes that can be scanned by authenticator apps to set up 2FA for a user. By default, the QR code generation route is accessible at "/2fa/register?account=<account_name>". You can customize the path template by modifying the PathTemplate field in the twofa.QRCodeConfig struct. The QR code image can be customized by providing a custom image in the Image field of the twofa.QRCodeConfig struct. If a custom image is provided, it will be used as the background image for the QR code. The content of the QR code can be customized by modifying the Content field in the twofa.QRCodeConfig struct. The default content format is "otpauth://totp/%s:%s?secret=%s&issuer=%s". The 2FA middleware allows generating custom QR code images for use with custom mobile apps or physical devices. This feature provides flexibility in integrating 2FA with custom cryptography and scanning mechanisms. To generate a custom QR code image, provide a custom image in the Image field of the twofa.QRCodeConfig struct. The custom image should be of type image.Image. When a custom image is provided, the middleware will generate a QR code and overlay it on top of the custom image. The resulting QR code image can be scanned by a custom mobile app or physical device that supports QR code scanning. By using a custom QR code image, it's possible to incorporate custom branding, design, or additional information into the QR code. This allows creating a seamless and integrated 2FA experience for users. Additionally, custom cryptography techniques can be leveraged to secure the QR code data. Instead of using the default TOTP algorithm, custom encryption and decryption mechanisms can be implemented to protect the shared secret and other sensitive information embedded in the QR code. Furthermore, the custom QR code image generation feature enables extending 2FA beyond mobile apps. The QR code can be bound to physical devices or objects that have scanning capabilities, such as smart cards, badges, or dedicated hardware tokens. This provides an additional layer of security and convenience for users who prefer physical authentication methods. To implement custom QR code image generation, follow these steps: By leveraging custom QR code image generation, it's possible to create a unique and secure 2FA experience tailored to specific requirements and user preferences. The 2FA middleware handles errors internally and returns appropriate HTTP status codes and error messages. If an error occurs during the 2FA process, the middleware will return a response with a status code of 401 (Unauthorized) or 500 (Internal Server Error), depending on the nature of the error. The error messages are sent in the specified response format (MIME type) configured in the ResponseMIME field of the twofa.Config struct. The default response format is plain text (fiber.MIMETextPlainCharsetUTF8). You can customize the error handling by providing custom handlers for unauthorized and internal server errors using the UnauthorizedHandler and InternalErrorHandler fields in the twofa.Config struct. The 2FA middleware defines several error variables that represent different types of errors that can occur during the 2FA process. These error variables are: These error variables are used by the middleware to provide meaningful error messages when errors occur during the 2FA process. You can skip the 2FA middleware for certain routes by specifying the paths in the SkipCookies field of the twofa.Config struct. Additionally, you can provide a custom function in the Next field of the twofa.Config struct to determine whether to skip the 2FA middleware for a given request. If the function returns true, the middleware will be skipped. The 2FA middleware uses the twofa.Info struct to manage the 2FA information for each user. The twofa.Info struct implements the twofa.InfoManager interface, which defines methods for accessing and modifying the 2FA information. The twofa.Info struct contains the following fields: The twofa.InfoManager interface provides methods for accessing and modifying these fields. The 2FA middleware uses cookies to store the 2FA validation status for each user. The cookie-related configurations can be customized using the following fields in the twofa.Config struct: The middleware generates a signed cookie value using HMAC to ensure the integrity of the cookie. The cookie value contains the expiration time of the cookie. The 2FA middleware verifies the TOTP token provided by the user during the 2FA process. The token can be extracted from various sources such as query parameters, form data, cookies, headers, or URL parameters. The token lookup configuration is specified using the TokenLookup field in the twofa.Config struct. It follows the format "<source>:<name>", where <source> can be "query", "form", "cookie", "header", or "param", and <name> is the name of the parameter or key. If a valid token is provided, the middleware sets a 2FA cookie to indicate that the user has successfully completed the 2FA process. The cookie value is generated using the twofa.Middleware.GenerateCookieValue function, which signs the cookie value using HMAC. The 2FA middleware generates a unique identifier for each 2FA registration. The identifier is used to associate the 2FA information with a specific user or account. By default, the middleware uses the github.com/gofiber/utils.UUIDv4 function to generate a random UUID as the identifier. The identifier generation can be customized by providing a custom function in the IdentifierGenerator field of the twofa.Config struct. The custom function should take a *fiber.Ctx as a parameter and return a string identifier. The generated identifier is stored in the twofa.Info struct and can be accessed using the twofa.Info.GetIdentifier method. In the example above, the customIdentifierGenerator function is provided as the value for the IdentifierGenerator field in the twofa.Config struct. This function will be called by the middleware to generate the identifier for each 2FA registration. The custom identifier generator function can access the request context through the *fiber.Ctx parameter and generate the identifier based on any relevant information available in the context, such as user ID, email, or any other unique attribute. Providing a custom identifier generator allows for the flexibility to generate identifiers that are specific to the application's requirements and ensures uniqueness and compatibility with the existing user or account management system. Note: If the IdentifierGenerator field is not provided or set to nil, the middleware will use the default identifier generator, which generates a random UUID using github.com/gofiber/utils.UUIDv4.

Package tusd provides ways to accept tus 1.0 calls using HTTP. tus is a protocol based on HTTP for resumable file uploads. Resumable means that an upload can be interrupted at any moment and can be resumed without re-uploading the previous data again. An interruption may happen willingly, if the user wants to pause, or by accident in case of an network issue or server outage (http://tus.io). tusd was designed in way which allows an flexible and customizable usage. We wanted to avoid binding this package to a specific storage system – particularly a proprietary third-party software. Therefore tusd is an abstract layer whose only job is to accept incoming HTTP requests, validate them according to the specification and finally passes them to the data store. The data store is another important component in tusd's architecture whose purpose is to do the actual file handling. It has to write the incoming upload to a persistent storage system and retrieve information about an upload's current state. Therefore it is the only part of the system which communicates directly with the underlying storage system, whether it be the local disk, a remote FTP server or cloud providers such as AWS S3. The only hard requirements for a data store can be found in the DataStore interface. It contains methods for creating uploads (NewUpload), writing to them (WriteChunk) and retrieving their status (GetInfo). However, there are many more features which are not mandatory but may still be used. These are contained in their own interfaces which all share the *DataStore suffix. For example, GetReaderDataStore which enables downloading uploads or TerminaterDataStore which allows uploads to be terminated. The store composer offers a way to combine the basic data store - the core - implementation and these additional extensions: The corresponding methods for adding an extension to the composer are prefixed with Use* followed by the name of the corresponding interface. However, most data store provide multiple extensions and adding all of them manually can be tedious and error-prone. Therefore, all data store distributed with tusd provide an UseIn() method which does this job automatically. For example, this is the S3 store in action (see S3Store.UseIn): Finally, once you are done with composing your data store, you can pass it inside the Config struct in order to create create a new tusd HTTP handler: This handler can then be mounted to a specific path, e.g. /files:

Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json This package implements three Handlers that add debugging information to the context, CallerFileHandler, CallerFuncHandler and CallerStackHandler. Here's an example that adds the source file and line number of each logging call to the context. This will output a line that looks like: Here's an example that logs the call stack rather than just the call site. This will output a line that looks like: The "%+v" format instructs the handler to include the path of the source file relative to the compile time GOPATH. The github.com/go-stack/stack package documents the full list of formatting verbs and modifiers available. The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy type. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

Package bolt implements a low-level key/value store in pure Go. It supports fully serializable transactions, ACID semantics, and lock-free MVCC with multiple readers and a single writer. Bolt can be used for projects that want a simple data store without the need to add large dependencies such as Postgres or MySQL. Bolt is a single-level, zero-copy, B+tree data store. This means that Bolt is optimized for fast read access and does not require recovery in the event of a system crash. Transactions which have not finished committing will simply be rolled back in the event of a crash. The design of Bolt is based on Howard Chu's LMDB database project. Bolt currently works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. There are only a few types in Bolt: DB, Bucket, Tx, and Cursor. The DB is a collection of buckets and is represented by a single file on disk. A bucket is a collection of unique keys that are associated with values. Transactions provide either read-only or read-write access to the database. Read-only transactions can retrieve key/value pairs and can use Cursors to iterate over the dataset sequentially. Read-write transactions can create and delete buckets and can insert and remove keys. Only one read-write transaction is allowed at a time. The database uses a read-only, memory-mapped data file to ensure that applications cannot corrupt the database, however, this means that keys and values returned from Bolt cannot be changed. Writing to a read-only byte slice will cause Go to panic. Keys and values retrieved from the database are only valid for the life of the transaction. When used outside the transaction, these byte slices can point to different data or can point to invalid memory which will cause a panic.

Dosktop is a package which allow users to easily create rich text-based terminal applications and games. Dosktop differs from other terminal packages by providing an extremely simple API that abstracts out all low-level terminal operations, while avoiding complicated event-driven TUI designs. If your familiar with programming on classical computers and OS environments like the Commodore 64 or MS-DOS, you will find that Dosktop behaves similar to these systems. Dosktop is a procedural package that gives users control over the terminal with simple BASIC-like commands. It maintains this simplicity by managing much of it's functionality and resources internally. While users do not need to keep track of these resources themselves, there are still a few concepts they need to be familiar with. Aliases are a way for a user to reference a resource in Dosktop without actually needing to manage and store it themselves. Things like creating a text layer, a button, or a timer, all use aliases to identify what the user creates and how they can reference that resource at a later time. For example: Once created, the user no longer needs to manage the resource. If they wish to manipulate it, they simply need to reference the Alias they want to access. For example: Furthermore, an alias is always unique and distinct for any given resource. That means, while it is not recommended, it is possible to give two different types of resources the same alias name. For example: Now we have a layer that has an alias called "Foreground" and a timer that has an alias called "Foreground". Often when working with software, flexibility comes at the expense of simplicity. Having methods with dozens of options and parameters makes functionality more flexible, but also much more difficult to manage and understand. That's why to keep things simple, Dosktop uses Attribute Entries for configuring most customizable features. Attribute Entries are simply structures that hold all kinds of information about how the user would like for something to operate. By simply generating an entry, configuring it, and passing it in as a parameter, functionality will automatically know how to behave if one should want to do something outside the default. In addition, if you want a feature to behave differently under specific cases, you can configure multiple attribute entries and simply provide which one you need at any given time. For example: You will note that not all style attributes need to be set. Any attributes which are not modified will be left at their default settings. In addition, if you wish to quickly create multiple attribute entries based off a single one, you can simply do the following: As you can see, cloning attribute entries is a speedy way to configure multiple items with similar base settings. Almost all functionality in Dosktop is designed to perform consistently. That is, it will perform most tasks predictably without external runtime conditions changing its behaviour. As a result, when a problem occurs Dosktop will usually prefer to throw a Panic rather than choose an alternative solution or throw an error. This is because any problems encountered will generally be a developer issue and it should be addressed rather than covered up or hidden by default behaviour. For example: In this case, the user is attempting to create a terminal session with invalid dimensions. Rather than choose a sane default or return a recoverable error, Dosktop will panic since clearly the developer made an error and should correct it. For functionality that could vary depending on runtime conditions, errors will be returned as expected. When updating the screen with with rapid changes or changes that may take a long time, it is desirable to wait until all drawing is completed before performing a refresh. This allows you to eliminate flickering, screen tearing, or other artifacts that may appear when display data is being updated at the same time as a screen refresh. In Dosktop, all changes to the terminal remain in memory until the user calls 'UpdateDisplay' to refresh the screen. This allows the user to make as many changes as they want before writing their changes to screen in a single pass.

A filesystem hierarchy synchronizer Rename files in TARGET so that identical files found in SOURCE and TARGET have the same relative path. The main goal of the program is to make folders synchronization faster by sparing big file transfers when a simple rename suffices. It complements other synchronization programs that lack this capability. See http://ambrevar.bitbucket.io/hsync and 'hsync -h' for more details. Usage: For usage options, see: We store the file entries in the following structure: This 'entries' map indexes the possible file matches by content ('partialHash'). A file match references the paths that will be used to rename the file in TARGET from 'oldpath' to 'newpath'. Note that 'newpath' is given by 'sourceID.path', and 'oldpath' by 'targetID.path'. The algorithm is centered around one main optimization: rolling-checksums. We assume that two files match if they have the same partial hash. The initial partial hash is just the size with an empty hash. This speeds up the process since this saves an open/close of the file. We just need a 'stat'. Files will not be read unless a rolling-checksum is required. As a consequence, unreadable files with a unique size will be stored in 'entries', while unreadable conflicting files will be discarded. Note that the system allows to rename files that cannot be read. One checksum roll increments 'pos' and updates the hash by hashing the next BLOCKSIZE bytes of the file. BLOCKSIZE is set to a value that is commonly believed to be optimal in most cases. The optimal value would be the device blocksize where the file resides. It would be more complex and memory consuming to query this value for each file. We choose md5 (128 bits) as the checksum algorithm. Adler32, CRC-32 and CRC-64 are only a tiny little faster while suffering from more clashes. This choice should be backed up with a proper benchmark. A conflict arises when two files in either SOURCE or TARGET have the same partial hash. We solve the conflict by updating the partial hashes until they differ. If the partial hashes cannot be updated any further (i.e. we reached end-of-file), it means that the files are duplicates. Notes: - Partial hashes of conflicting files will be complete at the same roll since they have the same size. - When a partial hash is complete, we have the following relation: - There is only one possible conflicting file at a time. A file match may be erroneous if the partial hash is not complete. The most obvious case is when two different files are the only ones of size N in SOURCE and TARGET. This down-side is a consequence of the design choice, i.e. focus on speed. Erroneous matches can be corrected in the preview file. If we wanted no ambiguity, we would have to compute the full hashes and this would take approximately as much time as copying files from SOURCE to TARGET, like a regular synchronization tool would do. We store the digest 'hash.Hash' together with the file path for when we update a partial hash. Process: 1. We walk SOURCE completely. Only regular files are processed. The 'sourceID' are stored. If two entries conflict (they have the same partial hash), we compute update the partial hashes until they do not conflict anymore. If the conflict is not resolvable, i.e. the partial hash is complete and files are identical, we drop both files from 'entries'. Future files can have the same partial hash that led to a former conflict. To distinguish the content from former conflicts when adding a new file, we must compute the partial hash up to the 'pos' of the last conflict (the number of checksum rolls). To keep track of this 'pos' when there is a conflict, we mark all computed partial hash as dummy values. When the next entry will be added, we will have to compute the partial hash until it does not match a dummy value in 'entries'. Duplicates are not processed but display a warning. Usually the user does not want duplicates, so she is better off fixing them before processing with the renames. It would add a lot of complexity to handle duplicates properly. 2. We walk TARGET completely. We skip all dummies as source the SOURCE walk. We need to analyze SOURCE completely before we can check for matches. - If there are only dummy entries, there was an unsolvable conflict in SOURCE. We drop the file. - If we end on a non-empty entry with an 'unsolvable' targetID, it means that an unsolvable conflict with target files happened with this partial hash. This is only possible at end-of-file. We drop the file. - If we end on an empty entry, there is no match with SOURCE and we drop the file. - If we end on a non-empty entry without previous matches, we store the match. - Else we end on a non-empty entry with one match already present. This is a conflict. We solve the conflict as for the SOURCE walk except that we need to update the partial hashes of three files: the SOURCE file, the first TARGET match and the new TARGET match. 3. We generate the 'renameOps' and 'reverseOps' maps. They map 'oldpath' to 'newpath' and 'newpath' to 'oldpath' respectively. We drop entries where 'oldpath==newpath' to spare a lot of noise. Note that file names are not used to compute a match since they could be identical while the content would be different. 4. We proceed with the renames. Chains and cycles may occur. - Example of a chain of renames: a->b, b->c, c->d. - Example of a cycle of renames: a->b, b->c, c->a. TARGET must be fully analyzed before proceeding with the renames so that we can detect chains. We always traverse chains until we reach the end, then rename the elements while going backward till the beginning. The beginning can be before the entry point. 'reverseOps' is used for going backward. When a cycle is detected, we break it down to a chain. We rename one file to a temporary name. Then we add this new file to the other end of the chain so that it gets renamed to its original new name once all files have been processed.

Package bolt implements a low-level key/value store in pure Go. It supports fully serializable transactions, ACID semantics, and lock-free MVCC with multiple readers and a single writer. Bolt can be used for projects that want a simple data store without the need to add large dependencies such as Postgres or MySQL. Bolt is a single-level, zero-copy, B+tree data store. This means that Bolt is optimized for fast read access and does not require recovery in the event of a system crash. Transactions which have not finished committing will simply be rolled back in the event of a crash. The design of Bolt is based on Howard Chu's LMDB database project. Bolt currently works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. There are only a few types in Bolt: DB, Bucket, Tx, and Cursor. The DB is a collection of buckets and is represented by a single file on disk. A bucket is a collection of unique keys that are associated with values. Transactions provide either read-only or read-write access to the database. Read-only transactions can retrieve key/value pairs and can use Cursors to iterate over the dataset sequentially. Read-write transactions can create and delete buckets and can insert and remove keys. Only one read-write transaction is allowed at a time. The database uses a read-only, memory-mapped data file to ensure that applications cannot corrupt the database, however, this means that keys and values returned from Bolt cannot be changed. Writing to a read-only byte slice will cause Go to panic. Keys and values retrieved from the database are only valid for the life of the transaction. When used outside the transaction, these byte slices can point to different data or can point to invalid memory which will cause a panic.

Package arke is an ultralight pub-sub system designed to be used as a message routing core for loosely coupled applications. See package "arke/interchange" for the core API and "arke/server" for details related to providing extra-process interfaces, including a daemonizeable Arke server. The central element of Arke is the hub. The hub manages all system events, whether that be publication, subscription, cancellation, what-have-you. The primary means of interacting on a hub is via a Client interface. Topics in Arke are dot-delimeted strings like These strings form a hierachy used during publication. For example, if there exist two subscribers, Subscriber A on "foo.bar" and Subscriber B on "foo.baz". When a Publisher C publishes on "foo" then both A and B will receive this publication. Arke is optimized for publication. This means that when there is a performance trade-off between supporting publication or subscription, publication will win out.

registry.go provides a container for centralized exposition of metrics to their prospective consumers. Please try to observe the following rules when naming metrics: - Use underbars "_" to separate words. - Have the metric name start from generality and work toward specificity toward the end. For example, when working with multiple caching subsystems, consider using the following structure "cache" + "user_credentials" → "cache_user_credentials" and "cache" + "value_transformations" → "cache_value_transformations". - Have whatever is being measured follow the system and subsystem names cited supra. For instance, with "insertions", "deletions", "evictions", "replacements" of the above cache, they should be named as "cache_user_credentials_insertions" and "cache_user_credentials_deletions" and "cache_user_credentials_deletions" and "cache_user_credentials_evictions". - If what is being measured has a standardized unit around it, consider providing a unit for it. - Consider adding an additional suffix that designates what the value represents such as a "total" or "size"---e.g., "cache_user_credentials_size_kb" or "cache_user_credentials_insertions_total". - Give heed to how future-proof the names are. Things may depend on these names; and as your service evolves, the calculated values may take on different meanings, which can be difficult to reflect if deployed code depends on antique names. Further considerations: - The Registry's exposition mechanism is not backed by authorization and authentication. This is something that will need to be addressed for production services that are directly exposed to the outside world. - Engage in as little in-process processing of values as possible. The job of processing and aggregation of these values belongs in a separate post-processing job. The same goes for archiving. I will need to evaluate hooks into something like OpenTSBD.

Package log15 provides an opinionated, simple toolkit for best-practice logging that is both human and machine readable. It is modeled after the standard library's io and net/http packages. This package enforces you to only log key/value pairs. Keys must be strings. Values may be any type that you like. The default output format is logfmt, but you may also choose to use JSON instead if that suits you. Here's how you log: This will output a line that looks like: To get started, you'll want to import the library: Now you're ready to start logging: Because recording a human-meaningful message is common and good practice, the first argument to every logging method is the value to the *implicit* key 'msg'. Additionally, the level you choose for a message will be automatically added with the key 'lvl', and so will the current timestamp with key 't'. You may supply any additional context as a set of key/value pairs to the logging function. log15 allows you to favor terseness, ordering, and speed over safety. This is a reasonable tradeoff for logging functions. You don't need to explicitly state keys/values, log15 understands that they alternate in the variadic argument list: If you really do favor your type-safety, you may choose to pass a log.Ctx instead: Frequently, you want to add context to a logger so that you can track actions associated with it. An http request is a good example. You can easily create new loggers that have context that is automatically included with each log line: This will output a log line that includes the path context that is attached to the logger: The Handler interface defines where log lines are printed to and how they are formated. Handler is a single interface that is inspired by net/http's handler interface: Handlers can filter records, format them, or dispatch to multiple other Handlers. This package implements a number of Handlers for common logging patterns that are easily composed to create flexible, custom logging structures. Here's an example handler that prints logfmt output to Stdout: Here's an example handler that defers to two other handlers. One handler only prints records from the rpc package in logfmt to standard out. The other prints records at Error level or above in JSON formatted output to the file /var/log/service.json This package implements three Handlers that add debugging information to the context, CallerFileHandler, CallerFuncHandler and CallerStackHandler. Here's an example that adds the source file and line number of each logging call to the context. This will output a line that looks like: Here's an example that logs the call stack rather than just the call site. This will output a line that looks like: The "%+v" format instructs the handler to include the path of the source file relative to the compile time GOPATH. The github.com/go-stack/stack package documents the full list of formatting verbs and modifiers available. The Handler interface is so simple that it's also trivial to write your own. Let's create an example handler which tries to write to one handler, but if that fails it falls back to writing to another handler and includes the error that it encountered when trying to write to the primary. This might be useful when trying to log over a network socket, but if that fails you want to log those records to a file on disk. This pattern is so useful that a generic version that handles an arbitrary number of Handlers is included as part of this library called FailoverHandler. Sometimes, you want to log values that are extremely expensive to compute, but you don't want to pay the price of computing them if you haven't turned up your logging level to a high level of detail. This package provides a simple type to annotate a logging operation that you want to be evaluated lazily, just when it is about to be logged, so that it would not be evaluated if an upstream Handler filters it out. Just wrap any function which takes no arguments with the log.Lazy type. For example: If this message is not logged for any reason (like logging at the Error level), then factorRSAKey is never evaluated. The same log.Lazy mechanism can be used to attach context to a logger which you want to be evaluated when the message is logged, but not when the logger is created. For example, let's imagine a game where you have Player objects: You always want to log a player's name and whether they're alive or dead, so when you create the player object, you might do: Only now, even after a player has died, the logger will still report they are alive because the logging context is evaluated when the logger was created. By using the Lazy wrapper, we can defer the evaluation of whether the player is alive or not to each log message, so that the log records will reflect the player's current state no matter when the log message is written: If log15 detects that stdout is a terminal, it will configure the default handler for it (which is log.StdoutHandler) to use TerminalFormat. This format logs records nicely for your terminal, including color-coded output based on log level. Becasuse log15 allows you to step around the type system, there are a few ways you can specify invalid arguments to the logging functions. You could, for example, wrap something that is not a zero-argument function with log.Lazy or pass a context key that is not a string. Since logging libraries are typically the mechanism by which errors are reported, it would be onerous for the logging functions to return errors. Instead, log15 handles errors by making these guarantees to you: - Any log record containing an error will still be printed with the error explained to you as part of the log record. - Any log record containing an error will include the context key LOG15_ERROR, enabling you to easily (and if you like, automatically) detect if any of your logging calls are passing bad values. Understanding this, you might wonder why the Handler interface can return an error value in its Log method. Handlers are encouraged to return errors only if they fail to write their log records out to an external source like if the syslog daemon is not responding. This allows the construction of useful handlers which cope with those failures like the FailoverHandler. log15 is intended to be useful for library authors as a way to provide configurable logging to users of their library. Best practice for use in a library is to always disable all output for your logger by default and to provide a public Logger instance that consumers of your library can configure. Like so: Users of your library may then enable it if they like: The ability to attach context to a logger is a powerful one. Where should you do it and why? I favor embedding a Logger directly into any persistent object in my application and adding unique, tracing context keys to it. For instance, imagine I am writing a web browser: When a new tab is created, I assign a logger to it with the url of the tab as context so it can easily be traced through the logs. Now, whenever we perform any operation with the tab, we'll log with its embedded logger and it will include the tab title automatically: There's only one problem. What if the tab url changes? We could use log.Lazy to make sure the current url is always written, but that would mean that we couldn't trace a tab's full lifetime through our logs after the user navigate to a new URL. Instead, think about what values to attach to your loggers the same way you think about what to use as a key in a SQL database schema. If it's possible to use a natural key that is unique for the lifetime of the object, do so. But otherwise, log15's ext package has a handy RandId function to let you generate what you might call "surrogate keys" They're just random hex identifiers to use for tracing. Back to our Tab example, we would prefer to set up our Logger like so: Now we'll have a unique traceable identifier even across loading new urls, but we'll still be able to see the tab's current url in the log messages. For all Handler functions which can return an error, there is a version of that function which will return no error but panics on failure. They are all available on the Must object. For example: All of the following excellent projects inspired the design of this library: code.google.com/p/log4go github.com/op/go-logging github.com/technoweenie/grohl github.com/Sirupsen/logrus github.com/kr/logfmt github.com/spacemonkeygo/spacelog golang's stdlib, notably io and net/http https://xkcd.com/927/

Package statusbar displays various information on the dwm statusbar. The design of this statusbar manager is modular by nature; you create the main process with this package and then populate it with only the information you want using individual modules. For example, if you want to show only the time and weather, then you would import only those two modules and add their objects to the statusbar, resulting in only the time and weather to appear on the statusbar for dwm. This modular design allows flexibility in customizing each individual statusbar and ease in management. This package is the engine that controls the modular routines. For the modules currently integrated with this framework and included in this repository, see the child packages that begin with "sb". There are currently modules that display a range of information, including various system resources, personal TODO lists, the current weather, VPN status, and the current time. To integrate a custom module into this statusbar framework, the routine's object needs to implement the RoutineHandler interface, which includes these methods: It is suggested that this object be created by New(), which will also initialize any members of the object (if needed). The sample code below creates a new statusbar, adds some routines to it, and begins displaying the formatted output. In dwm, we are using the dualstatus patch, which creates a top and bottom bar for extra statusbar real estate. The top bar will display the time, and the bottom bar will display the disk usage and CPU stats. Package statusbar formats and displays information on the dwm statusbar by managing modular data routines.

Package gurl is a class of High Order Component which can do http requests with few interesting property such as composition and laziness. The library implements rough and naive Haskell's equivalent of do-notation, so called monadic binding form. This construction decorates http i/o pipeline(s) with "programmable commas". Microservices have become a design style to evolve system architecture in parallel, implement stable and consistent interfaces. An expressive language is required to design the variety of network communication use-cases. A pure functional languages fits very well to express communication behavior. The language gives a rich techniques to hide the networking complexity using monads as abstraction. The IO-monads helps us to compose a chain of network operations and represent them as pure computation, build a new things from small reusable elements. The library is implemented after Erlang's https://github.com/fogfish/m_http The library attempts to adapts a human-friendly syntax of HTTP request/response logging/definition used by curl with Behavior as a Code paradigm. It tries to connect cause-and-effect (Given/When/Then) with the networking (Input/Process/Output). This semantic provides an intuitive approach to specify HTTP requests/responses. Adoption of this syntax as Go native code provides a rich capability to network programming. ↣ cause-and-effect abstraction of HTTP request/response, naive do-notation ↣ high-order composition of individual HTTP requests to complex networking computations ↣ human-friendly, Go native and declarative syntax to depict HTTP operations ↣ implements a declarative approach for testing of RESTful interfaces ↣ automatically encodes/decodes Go native HTTP payload using Content-Type hints ↣ supports generic transformation to algebraic data types ↣ simplify error handling with naive Either implementation Standard Golang packages implements low-level HTTP interface, which requires knowledge about protocol itself, aspects of Golang implementation, a bit of boilerplate coding and lack of standardized chaining (composition) of individual requests. gurl library inherits an ability of pure functional languages to express communication behavior by hiding the networking complexity using category pattern (aka "do"-notation). This pattern helps us to compose a chain of network operations and represent them as pure computation, build a new things from small reusable elements. This library uses the "do"-notation, so called monadic binding form. It is well know in functional programming languages such as Haskell and Scala. The networking becomes a collection of composed "do"-notation in context of a state monad. A composition of HTTP primitives within the category are written with the following syntax. Here, each arrow is a morphism applied to HTTP protocol. The implementation defines an abstraction of the protocol environments and lenses to focus inside it. In other words, the category represents the environment as an "invisible" side-effect of the composition. `gurl.Join(arrows ...Arrow) Arrow` and its composition implements lazy I/O. It only returns a "promise", you have to evaluate it in the context of IO instance. The following code snippet demonstrates a typical usage scenario. The evaluation of "program" fails if either networking fails or expectations do not match actual response. There are no needs to check error code after each operation. The composition is smart enough to terminate "program" execution. See User Guide about the library at https://github.com/fogfish/gurl

Package i18n offers the following basic internationalization functionality: There's more we'd like to add in the future, including: In order to interact with this package, you must first get a TranslatorFactory instace. Through the TranslatorFactory, you can get a Translator instance. Almost everything in this package is accessed through methods on the Translator struct. About the rules and messages paths: This package ships with built-in rules, and you are welcome to use those directly. However, if there are locales or rules that are missing from what ships directly with this package, or if you desire to use different rules than those that ship with this package, then you can specify additional rules paths. At this time, this package does not ship with built-in messages, other than a few used for the unit tests. You will need to specify your own messages path(s). For both rules and messages paths, you can specify multiple. Paths later in the slice take precedence over packages earlier in the slice. For a basic example of getting a TranslatorFactory instance: For simple message translation, use the Translate function, and send an empty map as the second argument (we'll explain that argument in the next section). You can also pass placeholder values to the translate function. That's what the second argument is for. In this example, we will inject a username into the translation. You can also translate strings with plurals. However, any one message can contain at most one plural. If you want to translate "I need 5 apples and 3 oranges" you are out of luck. The Pluralize method takes 3 arguments. The first is the message key - just like the Translate method. The second argument is a float which is used to determine which plural form to use. The third is a string representation of the number. Why two arguments for the number instead of one? This allows you ultimate flexibility in number formatting to use in the translation while eliminating the need for string number parsing. You can use the "FomatNumber", "FormatCurrency" and "FormatPercent" methods to do locale-based number formatting for numbers, currencies and percentages. If you need to sort a list of strings alphabetically, then you should not use a simple string comparison to do so - this will often result in incorrect results. "ȧ" would normally evaluate as greater than "z", which is not correct in any latin writing system alphabet. Use can use the Sort method on the Translator struct to do an alphabetic sorting that is correct for that locale. Alternatively, you can access the SortUniversal and the SortLocale functions directly without a Translator instance. SortUniversal does not take a specific locale into account when doing the alphabetic sorting, which means it might be slightly less accurate than the SortLocal function. However, there are cases in which the collation rules for a specific locale are unknown, or the sorting needs to be done in a local-agnostic way. For these cases, the SortUniversal function performs a unicode normalization in order to best sort the strings. In order to be flexible, these functions take a generic interface slice and a function for retrieving the value on which to perform the sorting. For example: When getting a Translator instance, the TranslatorFactory will automatically attempt to determine an appropriate fallback Translator for the locale you specify. For locales with specific "flavors", like "en-au" or "zh-hans", the "vanilla" version of that locale will be used if it exists. In these cases that would be "en" and "zh". When creating a TranslatorFactory instance, you can optionally specify a final fallback locale. This will be used if it exists. When determining a fallback, the the factory first checks the less specific versions of the specified locale, if they exist and will ultimate fallback to the global fallback if specified. All of the examples above conveniently ignore errors. We recommend that you DO handle errors. The system is designed to give you a valid result if at all possible, even in errors occur in the process. However, the errors are still returned and may provide you helpful information you might otherwise miss - like missing files, file permissions problems, yaml format problems, missing translations, etc. We recommend that you do some sort of logging of these errors.

Package mempool provides a policy-enforced pool of unmined Decred transactions. A key responsibility of the Decred network is mining transactions – regular transactions and stake transactions – into blocks. In order to facilitate this, the mining process relies on having a readily-available source of transactions to include in a block that is being solved. At a high level, this package satisfies that requirement by providing an in-memory pool of fully validated transactions that can also optionally be further filtered based upon a configurable policy. The Policy configuration options has flags that control whether or not "standard" transactions and old votes are accepted into the mempool. In essence, a "standard" transaction is one that satisfies a fairly strict set of requirements that are largely intended to help provide fair use of the system to all users. It is important to note that what is considered to be a "standard" transaction changes over time as policy and consensus rules evolve. For some insight, at the time of this writing, an example of _some_ of the criteria that are required for a transaction to be considered standard are that it is of the most-recently supported version, finalized, does not exceed a specific size, and only consists of specific script forms. Since this package does not deal with other Decred specifics such as network communication and transaction relay, it returns a list of transactions that were accepted which gives the caller a high level of flexibility in how they want to proceed. Typically, this will involve things such as relaying the transactions to other peers on the network and notifying the mining process that new transactions are available. This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing the ability create an in-memory pool of Decred transactions that are not only valid by consensus rules, but also adhere to a configurable policy ## Feature Overview The following is a quick overview of the major features. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. - Maintain a pool of fully validated transactions - Stake transaction support (ticket purchases, votes and revocations) - Orphan transaction support (transactions that spend from unknown outputs) - Configurable transaction acceptance policy - Additional metadata tracking for each transaction - Manual control of transaction removal Errors returned by this package are either the raw errors provided by underlying calls or of type mempool.RuleError. Since there are two classes of rules (mempool acceptance rules and blockchain (consensus) acceptance rules), the mempool.RuleError type contains a single Err field which will, in turn, either be a mempool.TxRuleError or a blockchain.RuleError. The first indicates a violation of mempool acceptance rules while the latter indicates a violation of consensus acceptance rules. This allows the caller to easily differentiate between unexpected errors, such as database errors, versus errors due to rule violations through type assertions. In addition, callers can programmatically determine the specific rule violation by type asserting the Err field to one of the aforementioned types and examining their underlying ErrorCode field.
