Package cmd provides a framework that helps implementation of commands having these features: Better logging: By using github.com/cybozu-go/log package, logs can be structured in JSON or logfmt format. HTTP servers log accesses automatically. Graceful exit: The framework provides functions to manage goroutines and network server implementation that can be shutdown gracefully. Signal handlers: The framework installs SIGINT/SIGTERM signal handlers for graceful exit, and SIGUSR1 signal handler to reopen log files. Environment is the heart of the framework. It provides a base context.Context that will be canceled before program stops, and methods to manage goroutines. To use the framework easily, the framework provides an instance of Environment as the default, and functions to work with it. The most basic usage of the framework. HTTP server that stops gracefully.

Package grip provides a flexible logging package for basic Go programs. Drawing inspiration from Go and Python's standard library logging, as well as systemd's journal service, and other logging systems, Grip provides a number of very powerful logging abstractions in one high-level package. The central type of the grip package is the Journaler type, instances of which provide distinct log capturing system. For ease, following from the Go standard library, the grip package provides parallel public methods that use an internal "standard" Jouernaler instance in the grip package, which has some defaults configured and may be sufficient for many use cases. The send.Sender interface provides a way of changing the logging backend, and the send package provides a number of alternate implementations of logging systems, including: systemd's journal, logging to standard output, logging to a file, and generic syslog support. The message.Composer interface is the representation of all messages. They are implemented to provide a raw structured form as well as a string representation for more conentional logging output. Furthermore they are intended to be easy to produce, and defer more expensive processing until they're being logged, to prevent expensive operations producing messages that are below threshold. The MutiCatcher type makes it possible to collect from a group of operations and then aggregate them as a single error. Loging helpers exist for the following levels: These methods accept both strings (message content,) or types that implement the message.MessageComposer interface. Composer types make it possible to delay generating a message unless the logger is over the logging threshold. Use this to avoid expensive serialization operations for suppressed logging operations. All levels also have additional methods with `ln` and `f` appended to the end of the method name which allow Println() and Printf() style functionality. You must pass printf/println-style arguments to these methods. The Conditional logging methods take two arguments, a Boolean, and a message argument. Messages can be strings, objects that implement the MessageComposer interface, or errors. If condition boolean is true, the threshold level is met, and the message to log is not an empty string, then it logs the resolved message. Use conditional logging methods to potentially suppress log messages based on situations orthogonal to log level, with "log sometimes" or "log rarely" semantics. Combine with MessageComposers to to avoid expensive message building operations.

Package spanner provides a client for reading and writing to Cloud Spanner databases. See the packages under admin for clients that operate on databases and instances. Note: This package is in beta. Some backwards-incompatible changes may occur. See https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/getting-started/go/ for an introduction to Cloud Spanner and additional help on using this API. See https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go for authentication, timeouts, connection pooling and similar aspects of this package. To start working with this package, create a client that refers to the database of interest: Remember to close the client after use to free up the sessions in the session pool. Two Client methods, Apply and Single, work well for simple reads and writes. As a quick introduction, here we write a new row to the database and read it back: All the methods used above are discussed in more detail below. Every Cloud Spanner row has a unique key, composed of one or more columns. Construct keys with a literal of type Key: The keys of a Cloud Spanner table are ordered. You can specify ranges of keys using the KeyRange type: By default, a KeyRange includes its start key but not its end key. Use the Kind field to specify other boundary conditions: A KeySet represents a set of keys. A single Key or KeyRange can act as a KeySet. Use the KeySets function to build the union of several KeySets: AllKeys returns a KeySet that refers to all the keys in a table: All Cloud Spanner reads and writes occur inside transactions. There are two types of transactions, read-only and read-write. Read-only transactions cannot change the database, do not acquire locks, and may access either the current database state or states in the past. Read-write transactions can read the database before writing to it, and always apply to the most recent database state. The simplest and fastest transaction is a ReadOnlyTransaction that supports a single read operation. Use Client.Single to create such a transaction. You can chain the call to Single with a call to a Read method. When you only want one row whose key you know, use ReadRow. Provide the table name, key, and the columns you want to read: Read multiple rows with the Read method. It takes a table name, KeySet, and list of columns: Read returns a RowIterator. You can call the Do method on the iterator and pass a callback: RowIterator also follows the standard pattern for the Google Cloud Client Libraries: Always call Stop when you finish using an iterator this way, whether or not you iterate to the end. (Failing to call Stop could lead you to exhaust the database's session quota.) To read rows with an index, use ReadUsingIndex. The most general form of reading uses SQL statements. Construct a Statement with NewStatement, setting any parameters using the Statement's Params map: You can also construct a Statement directly with a struct literal, providing your own map of parameters. Use the Query method to run the statement and obtain an iterator: Once you have a Row, via an iterator or a call to ReadRow, you can extract column values in several ways. Pass in a pointer to a Go variable of the appropriate type when you extract a value. You can extract by column position or name: You can extract all the columns at once: Or you can define a Go struct that corresponds to your columns, and extract into that: For Cloud Spanner columns that may contain NULL, use one of the NullXXX types, like NullString: To perform more than one read in a transaction, use ReadOnlyTransaction: You must call Close when you are done with the transaction. Cloud Spanner read-only transactions conceptually perform all their reads at a single moment in time, called the transaction's read timestamp. Once a read has started, you can call ReadOnlyTransaction's Timestamp method to obtain the read timestamp. By default, a transaction will pick the most recent time (a time where all previously committed transactions are visible) for its reads. This provides the freshest data, but may involve some delay. You can often get a quicker response if you are willing to tolerate "stale" data. You can control the read timestamp selected by a transaction by calling the WithTimestampBound method on the transaction before using it. For example, to perform a query on data that is at most one minute stale, use See the documentation of TimestampBound for more details. To write values to a Cloud Spanner database, construct a Mutation. The spanner package has functions for inserting, updating and deleting rows. Except for the Delete methods, which take a Key or KeyRange, each mutation-building function comes in three varieties. One takes lists of columns and values along with the table name: One takes a map from column names to values: And the third accepts a struct value, and determines the columns from the struct field names: To apply a list of mutations to the database, use Apply: If you need to read before writing in a single transaction, use a ReadWriteTransaction. ReadWriteTransactions may abort and need to be retried. You pass in a function to ReadWriteTransaction, and the client will handle the retries automatically. Use the transaction's BufferWrite method to buffer mutations, which will all be executed at the end of the transaction: Spanner supports DML statements like INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. Use ReadWriteTransaction.Update to run DML statements. It returns the number of rows affected. (You can call use ReadWriteTransaction.Query with a DML statement. The first call to Next on the resulting RowIterator will return iterator.Done, and the RowCount field of the iterator will hold the number of affected rows.) For large databases, it may be more efficient to partition the DML statement. Use client.PartitionedUpdate to run a DML statement in this way. Not all DML statements can be partitioned. This client has been instrumented to use OpenCensus tracing (http://opencensus.io). To enable tracing, see "Enabling Tracing for a Program" at https://godoc.org/go.opencensus.io/trace. OpenCensus tracing requires Go 1.8 or higher.

Golex is a lex/flex like (not fully POSIX lex compatible) utility. It renders .l formated data (https://westes.github.io/flex/manual/Format.html#Format) to Go source code. The .l data can come from a file named in a command line argument. If no non-opt args are given, golex reads stdin. Options: To get the latest golex version: Please see http://godoc.org/modernc.org/golex/lex. 2014-11-18: Golex now supports %yym - a hook which can be used to mark an accepting state. Consider for example this .l file: Execution and output: 2014-11-15: Golex's output is now gofmt'ed, if possible. Missing/differing functionality of the current renderer (compared to flex): Further limitations on the .l source are listed in the cznic/lex package godocs.

Package gitfs is a complete solution for static files in Go code. When Go code uses non-Go files, they are not packaged into the binary. The common approach to the problem, as implemented by (go-bindata) https://github.com/kevinburke/go-bindata is to convert all the required static files into Go code, which eventually compiled into the binary. This library takes a different approach, in which the static files are not required to be "binary-packed", and even no required to be in the same repository as the Go code. This package enables loading static content from a remote git repository, or packing it to the binary if desired or loaded from local path for development process. The transition from remote repository to binary packed content, to local content is completely smooth. *The API is simple and minimalistic*. The `New` method returns a (sub)tree of a Git repository, represented by the standard `http.FileSystem` interface. This object enables anything that is possible to do with a regular filesystem, such as opening a file or listing a directory. Additionally, the ./fsutil package provides enhancements over the `http.FileSystem` object (They can work with any object that implements the interface) such as loading Go templates in the standard way, walking over the filesystem, and applying glob patterns on a filesystem. Supported features: * Loading of specific version/tag/branch. * For debug purposes, the files can be loaded from local path instead of the remote repository. * Files are loaded lazily by default or they can be preloaded if required. * Files can be packed to the Go binary using a command line tool. * This project is using the standard `http.FileSystem` interface. * In ./fsutil there are some general useful tools around the `http.FileSystem` interace. To create a filesystem using the `New` function, provide the Git project with the pattern: `github.com/<owner>/<repo>(/<path>)?(@<ref>)?`. If no `path` is specified, the root of the project will be used. `ref` can be any git branch using `heads/<branch name>` or any git tag using `tags/<tag>`. If the tag is of Semver format, the `tags/` prefix is not required. If no `ref` is specified, the default branch will be used. In the following example, the repository `github.com/x/y` at tag v1.2.3 and internal path "static" is loaded: The variable `fs` implements the `http.FileSystem` interface. Reading a file from the repository can be done using the `Open` method. This function accepts a path, relative to the root of the defined filesystem. The `fs` variable can be used in anything that accept the standard interface. For example, it can be used for serving static content using the standard library: When used with private github repository, the Github API calls should be instrumented with the appropriate credentials. The credentials can be passed by providing an HTTP client. For example, to use a Github Token from environnement variable `GITHUB_TOKEN`: For quick development workflows, it is easier and faster to use local static content and not remote content that was pushed to a remote repository. This is enabled by the `OptLocal` option. To use this option only in local development and not in production system, it can be used as follow: In this example, we stored the value for `OptLocal` in an environment variable. As a result, when running the program with `LOCAL_DEBUG=.` local files will be used, while running without it will result in using the remote files. (the value of the environment variable should point to any directory within the github project). Using gitfs does not mean that files are required to be remotely fetched. When binary packing of the files is needed, a command line tool can pack them for you. To get the tool run: `go get github.com/posener/gitfs/cmd/gitfs`. Running the tool is by `gitfs <patterns>`. This generates a `gitfs.go` file in the current directory that contains all the used filesystems' data. This will cause all `gitfs.New` calls to automatically use the packed data, insted of fetching the data on runtime. By default, a test will also be generated with the code. This test fails when the local files are modified without updating the binary content. Use binary-packing with `go generate`: To generate all filesystems used by a project add `//go:generate gitfs ./...` in the root of the project. To generate only a specific filesystem add `//go:generate gitfs $GOFILE` in the file it is being used. An interesting anecdote is that gitfs command is using itself for generating its own templates. Files exclusion can be done by including only specific files using a glob pattern with `OptGlob` option, using the Glob options. This will affect both local loading of files, remote loading and binary packing (may reduce binary size). For example: The ./fsutil package is a collection of useful functions that can work with any `http.FileSystem` implementation. For example, here we will use a function that loads go templates from the filesystem. With gitfs you can open a remote git repository, and load any file, including non-go files. In this example, the README.md file of a remote repository is loaded.

Package pargo provides functions and data structures for expressing parallel algorithms. While Go is primarily designed for concurrent programming, it is also usable to some extent for parallel programming, and this library provides convenience functionality to turn otherwise sequential algorithms into parallel algorithms, with the goal to improve performance. For documentation that provides a more structured overview than is possible with Godoc, see the wiki at https://github.com/exascience/pargo/wiki Pargo provides the following subpackages: pargo/parallel provides simple functions for executing series of thunks or predicates, as well as thunks, predicates, or reducers over ranges in parallel. See also https://github.com/ExaScience/pargo/wiki/TaskParallelism pargo/speculative provides speculative implementations of most of the functions from pargo/parallel. These implementations not only execute in parallel, but also attempt to terminate early as soon as the final result is known. See also https://github.com/ExaScience/pargo/wiki/TaskParallelism pargo/sequential provides sequential implementations of all functions from pargo/parallel, for testing and debugging purposes. pargo/sort provides parallel sorting algorithms. pargo/sync provides an efficient parallel map implementation. pargo/pipeline provides functions and data structures to construct and execute parallel pipelines. Pargo has been influenced to various extents by ideas from Cilk, Threading Building Blocks, and Java's java.util.concurrent and java.util.stream packages. See http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/papers/steal.pdf for some theoretical background, and the sample chapter at https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/introduction-algorithms for a more practical overview of the underlying concepts.

Package httprequest provides functionality for marshaling unmarshaling HTTP request parameters into a struct type. It also provides a way to define methods as HTTP routes using the same approach. It requires at least Go 1.7, and Go 1.9 is required if the importing program also uses golang.org/x/net/context.

Package flume is a logging package, build on top of zap. It's structured and leveled logs, like zap/logrus/etc. It adds global, runtime re-configuration of all loggers, via an internal logger registry. There are two interaction points with flume: code that generates logs, and code that configures logging output. Code which generates logs needs to create named logger instances, and call log functions on it, like Info() and Debug(). But by default, all these logs will be silently discarded. Flume does not output log entries unless explicitly told to do so. This ensures libraries can freely use flume internally, without polluting the stdout of the programs importing the library. The Logger type is a small interface. Libraries should allow replacement of their Logger instances so importers can entirely replace flume if they wish. Alternately, importers can use flume to configure the library's log output, and/or redirect it into the overall program's log stream. This package does not offer package level log functions, so you need to create a logger instance first: A common pattern is to create a single, package-wide logger, named after the package: Then, write some logs: Logs have a message, then matched pairs of key/value properties. Child loggers can be created and pre-seeded with a set of properties: Expensive log events can be avoid by explicitly checking level: Loggers can be bound to context.Context, which is convenient for carrying per-transaction loggers (pre-seeded with transaction specific context) through layers of request processing code: The standard Logger interface only supports 3 levels of log, DBG, INF, and ERR. This is inspired by this article: https://dave.cheney.net/2015/11/05/lets-talk-about-logging. However, you can create instances of DeprecatedLogger instead, which support more levels. There are several package level functions which reconfigure logging output. They control which levels are discarded, which fields are included in each log entry, and how those fields are rendered, and how the overall log entry is rendered (JSON, LTSV, colorized, etc). To configure logging settings from environment variables, call the configuration function from main(): This reads the log configuration from the environment variable "FLUME" (the default, which can be overridden). The value is JSON, e.g.: The properties of the config string: "level": ERR, INF, or DBG. The default level for all loggers. "levels": A string configuring log levels for specific loggers, overriding the default level. See note below for syntax. "development": true or false. In development mode, the defaults for the other settings change to be more suitable for developers at a terminal (colorized, multiline, human readable, etc). See note below for exact defaults. "addCaller": true or false. Adds call site information to log entries (file and line). "encoding": json, ltsv, term, or term-color. Configures how log entries are encoded in the output. "term" and "term-color" are multi-line, human-friendly formats, intended for terminal output. "encoderConfig": a JSON object which configures advanced encoding settings, like how timestamps are formatted. See docs for go.uber.org/zap/zapcore/EncoderConfig "messageKey": the label of the message property of the log entry. If empty, message is omitted. "levelKey": the label of the level property of the log entry. If empty, level is omitted. "timeKey": the label of the timestamp of the log entry. If empty, timestamp is omitted. "nameKey": the label of the logger name in the log entry. If empty, logger name is omitted. "callerKey": the label of the logger name in the log entry. If empty, logger name is omitted. "lineEnding": the end of each log output line. "levelEncoder": capital, capitalColor, color, lower, or abbr. Controls how the log entry level is rendered. "abbr" renders 3-letter abbreviations, like ERR and INF. "timeEncoder": iso8601, millis, nanos, unix, or justtime. Controls how timestamps are rendered. "millis", "nanos", and "unix" are since UNIX epoch. "unix" is in floating point seconds. "justtime" omits the date, and just prints the time in the format "15:04:05.000". "durationEncoder": string, nanos, or seconds. Controls how time.Duration values are rendered. "callerEncoder": full or short. Controls how the call site is rendered. "full" includes the entire package path, "short" only includes the last folder of the package. Defaults: These defaults are only applied if one of the configuration functions is called, like ConfigFromEnv(), ConfigString(), Configure(), or LevelsString(). Initially, all loggers are configured to discard everything, following flume's opinion that log packages should be silent unless spoken too. Ancillary to this: library packages should *not* call these functions, or configure logging levels or output in anyway. Only program entry points, like main() or test code, should configure logging. Libraries should just create loggers and log to them. Development mode: if "development"=true, the defaults for the rest of the settings change, equivalent to: The "levels" value is a list of key=value pairs, configuring the level of individual named loggers. If the key is "*", it sets the default level. If "level" and "levels" both configure the default level, "levels" wins. Examples: Most usages of flume will use its package functions. The package functions delegate to an internal instance of Factory, which a the logger registry. You can create and manage your own instance of Factory, which will be an isolated set of Loggers. tl;dr The implementation is a wrapper around zap. zap does levels, structured logs, and is very fast. zap doesn't do centralized, global configuration, so this package adds that by maintaining an internal registry of all loggers, and using the sync.atomic stuff to swap out levels and writers in a thread safe way.

Package tracelog : logcalls.go provides formatting functions. Package tracelog : logcalls.go provides formatting functions. Package tracelog implements a logging system to trace all aspect of your code. This is great for task oriented programs. Based on the Go log standard library. It provides 4 destinations with logging levels plus you can attach a file for persistent writes. A log clean process is provided to maintain disk space. There is also email support to send email alerts.

Cover is a program for analyzing the coverage profiles generated by 'go test -coverprofile=cover.out'. Cover is also used by 'go test -cover' to rewrite the source code with annotations to track which parts of each function are executed. It operates on one Go source file at a time, computing approximate basic block information by studying the source. It is thus more portable than binary-rewriting coverage tools, but also a little less capable. For instance, it does not probe inside && and || expressions, and can be mildly confused by single statements with multiple function literals. For usage information, please see: No longer maintained: For Go releases 1.5 and later, this tool lives in the standard repository. The code here is not maintained.

Package pulseaudio controls a pulseaudio server through its Dbus interface. This is a pure go binding for the pulseaudio Dbus interface. Note that you will have to enable the dbus module of your pulseaudio server. This can now be done with the LoadModule function. or by adding this line in /etc/pulse/default.pa (if system-wide daemon is used, instead edit /etc/pulse/system.pa ) Create a type that declares any methods matching the pulseaudio interface. Instead of declaring a big interface and forcing clients to provide every method they don't need, this API use a flexible interface system. The callback interface is provided by a list of single method interfaces and only those needed will have to be implemented. You can register multiple clients at any time on the same pulseaudio session. This allow you to split the callback logic of your program and have some parts (un)loadable like a client GUI. See types On... for the list of callback methods that can be used. Create a client object with some callback methods to register: Register your object and start the listening loop: There are way too many properties to have a dedicated method for each of them. First you need to get the object implementing the property you need. Then you will have to call the method matching the type of returned data for the property you want to get. See the example. Properties with the tag RW can also be set. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Developer/Clients/DBus/ Dbus documentation was copied to provide some useful informations here. Still valid in august 2018. Check the upstream source for updates or more informations. Create a pulse dbus service with 2 clients, listen to events, then use some properties.

package webhelp is a bunch of useful utilities for doing web programming in Go. webhelp encourages you to use the standard library for web programming, but provides some oft-needed tools to help simplify the task. webhelp tightly integrates with the new Go 1.7 Request Context support, but has backported the functionality to previous Go releases in the whcompat subpackage. Recently I wrote a long blog post about how to use webhelp: http://www.jtolds.com/writing/2017/01/writing-advanced-web-applications-with-go/

Taken from $GOROOT/src/pkg/net/http/chunked needed to write https responses to client. Package goproxy provides a customizable HTTP proxy, supporting hijacking HTTPS connection. The intent of the proxy, is to be usable with reasonable amount of traffic yet, customizable and programable. The proxy itself is simply an `net/http` handler. Typical usage is Adding a header to each request For printing the content type of all incoming responses note that we used the ProxyCtx context variable here. It contains the request and the response (Req and Resp, Resp is nil if unavailable) of this specific client interaction with the proxy. To print the content type of all responses from a certain url, we'll add a ReqCondition to the OnResponse function: We can write the condition ourselves, conditions can be set on request and on response Caution! If you give a RespCondition to the OnRequest function, you'll get a run time panic! It doesn't make sense to read the response, if you still haven't got it! Finally, we have convenience function to throw a quick response we close the body of the original repsonse, and return a new 403 response with a short message.

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/v9/_examples 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: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil.

This is done using os.Stat, which is a platform independent function. 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. 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 "".

Example: This validates that a string value contains a valid cron expression. This validates that a string is valid for use with SpiceDb for the indicated purpose. If no purpose is given, a purpose of 'id' is assumed. 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/v9/_examples 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: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba) When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself. Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run. Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run. This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below. Example #1 Example #2 Keys & EndKeys These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps. Example #1 Example #2 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value. For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. The field under validation must be present and not empty only if any of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only if all of the other specified fields are present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when any of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Examples: The field under validation must be present and not empty only when all of the other specified fields are not present. For strings ensures value is not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions ensures the value is not nil. Example: This validates that the value is the default value and is almost the opposite of required. For numbers, length will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, max will ensure that the value is less than or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at most that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For numbers, min will ensure that the value is greater or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is at least that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, eq will ensure that the value is equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings & numbers, ne will ensure that the value is not equal to the parameter given. For slices, arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. For strings, ints, and uints, oneof will ensure that the value is one of the values in the parameter. The parameter should be a list of values separated by whitespace. Values may be strings or numbers. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is greater than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'min' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is greater than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). For numbers, this will ensure that the value is less than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is less than that number of characters. For slices, arrays, and maps it validates the number of items. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than time.Now.UTC(). Same as 'max' above. Kept both to make terminology with 'len' easier. Example #1 Example #2 (time.Time) For time.Time ensures the time value is less than or equal to time.Now.UTC(). This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Example #1: Example #2: Field Equals Another Field (relative) This does the same as eqfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. This will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. Examples: Field Does Not Equal Another Field (relative) This does the same as nefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as gtefield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct. Only valid for Numbers and time.Time types, this will validate the field value against another fields value either within a struct or passed in field. usage examples are for validation of a Start and End date: Example #1: Example #2: This does the same as ltfield except that it validates the field provided relative to the top level struct.

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

Package tea provides an Elm inspired functional framework for interactive command-line programs.

Package dns implements a full featured interface to the Domain Name System. Both server- and client-side programming is supported. The package allows complete control over what is sent out to the DNS. The API follows the less-is-more principle, by presenting a small, clean interface. It supports (asynchronous) querying/replying, incoming/outgoing zone transfers, TSIG, EDNS0, dynamic updates, notifies and DNSSEC validation/signing. Note that domain names MUST be fully qualified before sending them, unqualified names in a message will result in a packing failure. Resource records are native types. They are not stored in wire format. Basic usage pattern for creating a new resource record: Or directly from a string: Or when the default origin (.) and TTL (3600) and class (IN) suit you: Or even: In the DNS messages are exchanged, these messages contain resource records (sets). Use pattern for creating a message: Or when not certain if the domain name is fully qualified: The message m is now a message with the question section set to ask the MX records for the miek.nl. zone. The following is slightly more verbose, but more flexible: After creating a message it can be sent. Basic use pattern for synchronous querying the DNS at a server configured on 127.0.0.1 and port 53: Suppressing multiple outstanding queries (with the same question, type and class) is as easy as setting: More advanced options are available using a net.Dialer and the corresponding API. For example it is possible to set a timeout, or to specify a source IP address and port to use for the connection: If these "advanced" features are not needed, a simple UDP query can be sent, with: When this functions returns you will get dns message. A dns message consists out of four sections. The question section: in.Question, the answer section: in.Answer, the authority section: in.Ns and the additional section: in.Extra. Each of these sections (except the Question section) contain a []RR. Basic use pattern for accessing the rdata of a TXT RR as the first RR in the Answer section: Both domain names and TXT character strings are converted to presentation form both when unpacked and when converted to strings. For TXT character strings, tabs, carriage returns and line feeds will be converted to \t, \r and \n respectively. Back slashes and quotations marks will be escaped. Bytes below 32 and above 127 will be converted to \DDD form. For domain names, in addition to the above rules brackets, periods, spaces, semicolons and the at symbol are escaped. DNSSEC (DNS Security Extension) adds a layer of security to the DNS. It uses public key cryptography to sign resource records. The public keys are stored in DNSKEY records and the signatures in RRSIG records. Requesting DNSSEC information for a zone is done by adding the DO (DNSSEC OK) bit to a request. Signature generation, signature verification and key generation are all supported. Dynamic updates reuses the DNS message format, but renames three of the sections. Question is Zone, Answer is Prerequisite, Authority is Update, only the Additional is not renamed. See RFC 2136 for the gory details. You can set a rather complex set of rules for the existence of absence of certain resource records or names in a zone to specify if resource records should be added or removed. The table from RFC 2136 supplemented with the Go DNS function shows which functions exist to specify the prerequisites. The prerequisite section can also be left empty. If you have decided on the prerequisites you can tell what RRs should be added or deleted. The next table shows the options you have and what functions to call. An TSIG or transaction signature adds a HMAC TSIG record to each message sent. The supported algorithms include: HmacMD5, HmacSHA1, HmacSHA256 and HmacSHA512. Basic use pattern when querying with a TSIG name "axfr." (note that these key names must be fully qualified - as they are domain names) and the base64 secret "so6ZGir4GPAqINNh9U5c3A==": If an incoming message contains a TSIG record it MUST be the last record in the additional section (RFC2845 3.2). This means that you should make the call to SetTsig last, right before executing the query. If you make any changes to the RRset after calling SetTsig() the signature will be incorrect. When requesting an zone transfer (almost all TSIG usage is when requesting zone transfers), with TSIG, this is the basic use pattern. In this example we request an AXFR for miek.nl. with TSIG key named "axfr." and secret "so6ZGir4GPAqINNh9U5c3A==" and using the server 176.58.119.54: You can now read the records from the transfer as they come in. Each envelope is checked with TSIG. If something is not correct an error is returned. Basic use pattern validating and replying to a message that has TSIG set. RFC 6895 sets aside a range of type codes for private use. This range is 65,280 - 65,534 (0xFF00 - 0xFFFE). When experimenting with new Resource Records these can be used, before requesting an official type code from IANA. See https://miek.nl/2014/September/21/idn-and-private-rr-in-go-dns/ for more information. EDNS0 is an extension mechanism for the DNS defined in RFC 2671 and updated by RFC 6891. It defines an new RR type, the OPT RR, which is then completely abused. Basic use pattern for creating an (empty) OPT RR: The rdata of an OPT RR consists out of a slice of EDNS0 (RFC 6891) interfaces. Currently only a few have been standardized: EDNS0_NSID (RFC 5001) and EDNS0_SUBNET (draft-vandergaast-edns-client-subnet-02). Note that these options may be combined in an OPT RR. Basic use pattern for a server to check if (and which) options are set: SIG(0) From RFC 2931: It works like TSIG, except that SIG(0) uses public key cryptography, instead of the shared secret approach in TSIG. Supported algorithms: DSA, ECDSAP256SHA256, ECDSAP384SHA384, RSASHA1, RSASHA256 and RSASHA512. Signing subsequent messages in multi-message sessions is not implemented.

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

Package collection seeks to provide an expressive and readable way of working with basic data structures in Go. As a former .NET developer, I deeply missed writing programs in the style of Linq. Doing so enables concurrent/ parallel reactive programs to be written in a snap. Go's functional nature enables us to have a very similar, if more verbose, experience. Take for example the scenario of printing the number of Go source files in a directory. Using this package, this takes only a few lines: A directory is a collection of filesystem entries, so we're able to iterate through them using the "Enumerate" function. From there, we filter on only file names that end with ".go". Finally, we print the number of entries that were encountered. This is a trivial example, but imagine building more elaborate pipelines. Maybe take advantage of the `SelectParallel` function which allows multiple goroutines to process a single transform at once, with their results being funnelled into the next phase of the pipeline. Suddenly, injecting new steps can be transparent.

Taken from $GOROOT/src/pkg/net/http/chunked needed to write https responses to client. Package goproxy provides a customizable HTTP proxy, supporting hijacking HTTPS connection. The intent of the proxy, is to be usable with reasonable amount of traffic yet, customizable and programable. The proxy itself is simply an `net/http` handler. Typical usage is Adding a header to each request For printing the content type of all incoming responses note that we used the ProxyCtx context variable here. It contains the request and the response (Req and Resp, Resp is nil if unavailable) of this specific client interaction with the proxy. To print the content type of all responses from a certain url, we'll add a ReqCondition to the OnResponse function: We can write the condition ourselves, conditions can be set on request and on response Caution! If you give a RespCondition to the OnRequest function, you'll get a run time panic! It doesn't make sense to read the response, if you still haven't got it! Finally, we have convenience function to throw a quick response we close the body of the original repsonse, and return a new 403 response with a short message. Example use cases: 1. https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy/tree/master/examples/goproxy-avgsize To measure the average size of an Html served in your site. One can ask all the QA team to access the website by a proxy, and the proxy will measure the average size of all text/html responses from your host. 2. [not yet implemented] All requests to your web servers should be directed through the proxy, when the proxy will detect html pieces sent as a response to AJAX request, it'll send a warning email. 3. https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy/blob/master/examples/goproxy-httpdump/ Generate a real traffic to your website by real users using through proxy. Record the traffic, and try it again for more real load testing. 4. https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy/tree/master/examples/goproxy-no-reddit-at-worktime Will allow browsing to reddit.com between 8:00am and 17:00pm 5. https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy/tree/master/examples/goproxy-jquery-version Will warn if multiple versions of jquery are used in the same domain. 6. https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy/blob/master/examples/goproxy-upside-down-ternet/ Modifies image files in an HTTP response via goproxy's image extension found in ext/.

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 "".

Values may be strings or numbers. To match strings with spaces in them, include the target string between single quotes. For numbers, this will ensure that the value is greater than the parameter given. For strings, it checks that the string length is greater than that number of characters.

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 log4go provides level-based and highly configurable logging. This is inspired by the logging functionality in Java. Essentially, you create a Logger object and create output filters for it. You can send whatever you want to the Logger, and it will filter that based on your settings and send it to the outputs. This way, you can put as much debug code in your program as you want, and when you're done you can filter out the mundane messages so only the important ones show up. Utility functions are provided to make life easier. Here is some example code to get started: log := log4go.NewLogger() log.AddFilter("stdout", log4go.DEBUG, log4go.NewConsoleLogWriter()) log.AddFilter("log", log4go.FINE, log4go.NewFileLogWriter("example.log", true)) log.Info("The time is now: %s", time.LocalTime().Format("15:04:05 MST 2006/01/02")) The first two lines can be combined with the utility NewDefaultLogger: log := log4go.NewDefaultLogger(log4go.DEBUG) log.AddFilter("log", log4go.FINE, log4go.NewFileLogWriter("example.log", true)) log.Info("The time is now: %s", time.LocalTime().Format("15:04:05 MST 2006/01/02")) Usage notes: Changes from 2.0: Future work: (please let me know if you think I should work on any of these particularly)

Package bigmachine implements a vertically integrated stack for distributed computing in Go. Go programs written with bigmachine are transparently distributed across a number of machines as instantiated by the backend used. (Currently supported: EC2, local machines, unit tests.) Bigmachine clusters comprise a driver node and a number of bigmachine nodes (called "machines"). The driver node can create new machines and communicate with them; machines can call each other. On startup, a bigmachine program calls driver.Start. Driver.Start configures a bigmachine instance based on a set of standard flags and then starts it. (Users desiring a lower-level API can use bigmachine.Start directly.) When the program is run, driver.Start returns immediately: the program can then interact with the returned bigmachine B to create new machines, define services on those machines, and invoke methods on those services. Bigmachine bootstraps machines by running the same binary, but in these runs, driver.Start never returns; instead it launches a server to handle calls from the driver program and other machines. A machine is started by (*B).Start. Machines must be configured with at least one service: Users may then invoke methods on the services provided by the returned machine. A services's methods can be invoked so long as they are of the form: See package github.com/grailbio/bigmachine/rpc for more details. Methods are named by the sevice and method name, separated by a dot ('.'), e.g.: "MyService.MyMethod": Since service instances must be serialized so that they can be transmitted to the remote machine, and because we do not know the service types a priori, any type that can appear as a service must be registered with gob. This is usually done in an init function in the package that declares type: A bigmachine program attempts to appear and act like a single program: The driver program maintains keepalives to all of its machines. Once this is no longer maintained (e.g., because the driver finished, or crashed, or lost connectivity), the machines become idle and shut down. A service is any Go value that implements methods of the form given above. Services are instantiated by the user and registered with bigmachine. When a service is registered, bigmachine will also invoke an initialization method on the service if it exists. Per-machine initialization can be performed by this method.The form of the method is: If a non-nil error is returned, the machine is considered failed.

Package spanner provides a client for reading and writing to Cloud Spanner databases. See the packages under admin for clients that operate on databases and instances. Note: This package is in beta. Some backwards-incompatible changes may occur. See https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/getting-started/go/ for an introduction to Cloud Spanner and additional help on using this API. See https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go for authentication, timeouts, connection pooling and similar aspects of this package. To start working with this package, create a client that refers to the database of interest: Remember to close the client after use to free up the sessions in the session pool. Two Client methods, Apply and Single, work well for simple reads and writes. As a quick introduction, here we write a new row to the database and read it back: All the methods used above are discussed in more detail below. Every Cloud Spanner row has a unique key, composed of one or more columns. Construct keys with a literal of type Key: The keys of a Cloud Spanner table are ordered. You can specify ranges of keys using the KeyRange type: By default, a KeyRange includes its start key but not its end key. Use the Kind field to specify other boundary conditions: A KeySet represents a set of keys. A single Key or KeyRange can act as a KeySet. Use the KeySets function to build the union of several KeySets: AllKeys returns a KeySet that refers to all the keys in a table: All Cloud Spanner reads and writes occur inside transactions. There are two types of transactions, read-only and read-write. Read-only transactions cannot change the database, do not acquire locks, and may access either the current database state or states in the past. Read-write transactions can read the database before writing to it, and always apply to the most recent database state. The simplest and fastest transaction is a ReadOnlyTransaction that supports a single read operation. Use Client.Single to create such a transaction. You can chain the call to Single with a call to a Read method. When you only want one row whose key you know, use ReadRow. Provide the table name, key, and the columns you want to read: Read multiple rows with the Read method. It takes a table name, KeySet, and list of columns: Read returns a RowIterator. You can call the Do method on the iterator and pass a callback: RowIterator also follows the standard pattern for the Google Cloud Client Libraries: Always call Stop when you finish using an iterator this way, whether or not you iterate to the end. (Failing to call Stop could lead you to exhaust the database's session quota.) To read rows with an index, use ReadUsingIndex. The most general form of reading uses SQL statements. Construct a Statement with NewStatement, setting any parameters using the Statement's Params map: You can also construct a Statement directly with a struct literal, providing your own map of parameters. Use the Query method to run the statement and obtain an iterator: Once you have a Row, via an iterator or a call to ReadRow, you can extract column values in several ways. Pass in a pointer to a Go variable of the appropriate type when you extract a value. You can extract by column position or name: You can extract all the columns at once: Or you can define a Go struct that corresponds to your columns, and extract into that: For Cloud Spanner columns that may contain NULL, use one of the NullXXX types, like NullString: To perform more than one read in a transaction, use ReadOnlyTransaction: You must call Close when you are done with the transaction. Cloud Spanner read-only transactions conceptually perform all their reads at a single moment in time, called the transaction's read timestamp. Once a read has started, you can call ReadOnlyTransaction's Timestamp method to obtain the read timestamp. By default, a transaction will pick the most recent time (a time where all previously committed transactions are visible) for its reads. This provides the freshest data, but may involve some delay. You can often get a quicker response if you are willing to tolerate "stale" data. You can control the read timestamp selected by a transaction by calling the WithTimestampBound method on the transaction before using it. For example, to perform a query on data that is at most one minute stale, use See the documentation of TimestampBound for more details. To write values to a Cloud Spanner database, construct a Mutation. The spanner package has functions for inserting, updating and deleting rows. Except for the Delete methods, which take a Key or KeyRange, each mutation-building function comes in three varieties. One takes lists of columns and values along with the table name: One takes a map from column names to values: And the third accepts a struct value, and determines the columns from the struct field names: To apply a list of mutations to the database, use Apply: If you need to read before writing in a single transaction, use a ReadWriteTransaction. ReadWriteTransactions may abort and need to be retried. You pass in a function to ReadWriteTransaction, and the client will handle the retries automatically. Use the transaction's BufferWrite method to buffer mutations, which will all be executed at the end of the transaction: Spanner supports DML statements like INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. Use ReadWriteTransaction.Update to run DML statements. It returns the number of rows affected. (You can call use ReadWriteTransaction.Query with a DML statement. The first call to Next on the resulting RowIterator will return iterator.Done, and the RowCount field of the iterator will hold the number of affected rows.) For large databases, it may be more efficient to partition the DML statement. Use client.PartitionedUpdate to run a DML statement in this way. Not all DML statements can be partitioned. This client has been instrumented to use OpenCensus tracing (http://opencensus.io). To enable tracing, see "Enabling Tracing for a Program" at https://godoc.org/go.opencensus.io/trace. OpenCensus tracing requires Go 1.8 or higher.

Package tcell provides a lower-level, portable API for building programs that interact with terminals or consoles. It works with both common (and many uncommon!) terminals or terminal emulators, and Windows console implementations. It provides support for up to 256 colors, text attributes, and box drawing elements. A database of terminals built from a real terminfo database is provided, along with code to generate new database entries. Tcell offers very rich support for mice, dependent upon the terminal of course. (Windows, XTerm, and iTerm 2 are known to work very well.) If the environment is not Unicode by default, such as an ISO8859 based locale or GB18030, Tcell can convert input and output, so that your terminal can operate in whatever locale is most convenient, while the application program can just assume "everything is UTF-8". Reasonable defaults are used for updating characters to something suitable for display. Unicode box drawing characters will be converted to use the alternate character set of your terminal, if native conversions are not available. If no ACS is available, then some ASCII fallbacks will be used. Note that support for non-UTF-8 locales (other than C) must be enabled by the application using RegisterEncoding() -- we don't have them all enabled by default to avoid bloating the application unneccessarily. (These days UTF-8 is good enough for almost everyone, and nobody should be using legacy locales anymore.) Also, actual glyphs for various code point will only be displayed if your terminal or emulator (or the font the emulator is using) supports them. A rich set of keycodes is supported, with support for up to 65 function keys, and various other special keys.

Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as Infof. It also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags. Basic examples: See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples: Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written. By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory. This package provides several flags that modify this behavior. As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done.

Package writ implements a flexible option parser with thorough test coverage. It's meant to be simple and "just work". Applications using writ look and behave similar to common GNU command-line applications, making them comfortable for end-users. Writ implements option decoding with GNU getopt_long conventions. All long and short-form option variations are supported: --with-x, --name Sam, --day=Friday, -i FILE, -vvv, etc. Help output generation is supported using text/template. The default template can be overriden with a custom template. Writ uses the Command and Option types to represent available options and subcommands. Input arguments are decoded with Command.Decode(). For convenience, the New() function can parse an input struct into a Command with Options that represent the input struct's fields. It uses struct field tags to control the behavior. The resulting Command's Decode() method updates the struct's fields in-place when option arguments are decoded. Alternatively, Commands and Options may be created directly. All fields on these types are exported. Options are specified via the "option" and "flag" struct tags. Both represent options, but fields marked "option" take arguments, whereas fields marked "flag" do not. Every Option must have an OptionDecoder. Writ provides decoders for most basic types, as well as some convenience types. See the NewOptionDecoder() function docs for details. New() parses an input struct to build a top-level Command. Subcommands are supported by using the "command" field tag. Fields marked with "command" must be of struct type, and are parsed the same way as top-level commands. Writ provides methods for generating help output. Command.WriteHelp() generates help content and writes to a given io.Writer. Command.ExitHelp() writes help content to stdout or stderr and terminates the program. Writ uses a template to generate the help content. The default template mimics --help output for common GNU programs. See the documentation of the Help type for more details. The New() function recognizes the following combinations of field tags: If both "default" and "env" are specified for an option field, the environment variable is consulted first. If the environment variable is present and decodes without error, that value is used. Otherwise, the value for the "default" tag is used. Values specified via parsed arguments take precedence over both types of defaults. This example uses writ.New() to build a command from the Greeter's struct fields. The resulting *writ.Command decodes and updates the Greeter's fields in-place. The Command.ExitHelp() method is used to display help content if --help is specified, or if invalid input arguments are received. This example demonstrates some of the convenience features offered by writ. It uses writ's support for io types and default values to ensure the Input and Output fields are initialized. These default to stdin and stdout due to the default:"-" field tags. The user may specify -i or -o to read from or write to a file. Similarly, the Replacements map is initialized with key=value pairs for every -r/--replace option the user specifies. This example demonstrates explicit Command and Option creation, along with explicit option grouping. It checks the host platform and dynamically adds a --bootloader option if the example is run on Linux. The same result could be achieved by using writ.New() to construct a Command, and then adding the platform-specific option to the resulting Command directly. This example demonstrates subcommands in a busybox style. There's no requirement that subcommands implement the Run() method shown here. It's just an example of how subcommands might be implemented.

Package fortuna implements the Fortuna random number generator by Niels Ferguson and Bruce Schneier. Fortuna is a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator; typical use cases include generation of keys in cryptographic ciphers and session tokens for web apps. The homepage of this package is at http://www.seehuhn.de/pages/fortuna . Please send any comments or bug reports to the program's author, Jochen Voss <voss@seehuhn.de>. The Fortuna random number generator consists of two parts: The accumulator collects caller-provided randomness (e.g. timings between the user's key presses). This randomness is then used to seed a pseudo random number generator. During operation, the randomness from the accumulator is also used to periodically reseed the generator, thus allowing to recover from limited compromises of the generator's state. The accumulator and the generator are described in separate sections, below. The usual way to use the Fortuna random number generator is by creating an object of type Accumulator. A new Accumulator can be allocated using the NewRNG() function: The argument seedFileName is the name of a file where a small amount of randomness can be stored between runs of the program. The program must be able to both read and write this file, and the contents must be kept confidential. If the seedFileName argument equals the empty string "", no entropy is stored between runs. In this case, the initial seed is only based on the current time of day, the current user name, the list of currently installed network interfaces, and output of the system random number generator. Not using a seed file can lead to more predictable output in the initial period after the generator has been created; a seed file must be used in security sensitive applications. If a seed file is used, the Accumulator must be closed using the Close() method after use. Randomness can be extracted from the Accumulator using the RandomData() and Read() methods. For example, a slice of 16 random bytes can be obtained using the following command: The Accumulator uses 32 entropy pools to collect randomness from the environment. The use of external entropy helps to recover from situations where an attacker obtained (partial) knowledge of the generator state. Any program using the Fortuna generator should continuously collect random/unpredictable data and should submit this data to the Accumulator. For example, code like the following could be used to submit the times between requests in a web-server: The Generator class provides a pseudo random number generator which forms the basis of the Accumulator described above. New instances of the Fortuna pseudo random number generator can be created using the NewGenerator() function. The argument newCipher should normally be aes.NewCipher from the crypto/aes package, but the Serpent or Twofish ciphers can also be used: The generator can be seeded using the Seed() or Reseed() methods: The method .Seed() should be used if reproducible output is required, whereas .Reseed() can be used to add entropy in order to achieve less predictable output. Uniformly distributed random bytes can then be extracted using the .PseudoRandomData() method: Generator implements the rand.Source interface and thus the functions from the math/rand package can be used to obtain pseudo random samples from more complicated distributions.

Package ki provides the base element of Goki Trees: Ki = Tree in Japanese, and "Key" in English -- powerful tree structures supporting scenegraphs, programs, parsing, etc. The Node struct that implements the Ki interface, which can be used as an embedded type (or a struct field) in other structs to provide core tree functionality, including: Parent / Child Tree structure -- each Node can ONLY have one parent. Node struct's can also have Node fields -- these are functionally like fixed auto-named children. Paths for locating Nodes within the hierarchy -- key for many use-cases, including ability to convert pointers to/from strings for IO and robust deep copy and move functions. The path separator is / for children and . for fields. Apply a function across nodes up or down a tree (natural "me first", breadth-first, depth-first) -- very flexible for tree walking. Generalized I/O -- can Save and Load the Tree as JSON, XML, etc -- including pointers which are saved using paths and automatically cached-out after loading -- enums also bidirectionally convertable to strings using enum type registry in kit package. Robust deep copy, clone, move of nodes. Signal sending and receiving between Nodes (simlar to Qt Signals / Slots) -- setup connections once and then emit signals to all receivers when relevant event happens. Robust state updating -- wrap updates in UpdateStart / End, and signals are blocked until the final end, at the highest affected level in the tree, at which point a single update signal is sent -- automatically gives the minimal update. Properties (as a string-keyed map) with property inheritance, including type-level properties via kit type registry. In general, the names of the children of a given node should all be unique. The following functions defined in ki package can be used: * UniqueNameCheck(node) to check for unique names on node if uncertain. * UniqueNameCheckAll(node) to check entire tree under given node. * UniquifyNames(node) to add a suffix to name to ensure uniqueness. * UniquifyNamesAll(node) to to uniquify all names in entire tree. The Ki interface is designed to support virtual method calling in Go and is only intended to be implemented once, by the ki.Node type (as opposed to interfaces that are used for hiding multiple different implementations of a common concept). Thus, all of the fields in ki.Node are exported (have captital names), to be accessed directly in types that embed and extend the ki.Node. The Ki interface has the "formal" name (e.g., Children) while the Node has the "nickname" (e.g., Kids). See the Naming Conventions on the Goki Wiki for more details. Each Node stores the Ki interface version of itself, as This() / Ths which enables full virtual function calling by calling the method on that interface instead of directly on the receiver Node itself. This requires proper initialization via Init method of the Ki interface.

Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup. It provides functions that have a name matched by regex: If Context is present, function takes context.Context argument. The context is used to pass through the Trace Context to log sinks that can make use of it. It is recommended to use the context variant of the functions over the non-context variants if a context is available to make sure the Trace Contexts are present in logs. If Depth is present, this function calls log from a different depth in the call stack. This enables a callee to emit logs that use the callsite information of its caller or any other callers in the stack. When depth == 0, the original callee's line information is emitted. When depth > 0, depth frames are skipped in the call stack and the final frame is treated like the original callee to Info. If 'f' is present, function formats according to a format specifier. This package also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags. Basic examples: See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples: Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written. By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory. This package provides several flags that modify this behavior. As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done. Other flags provide aids to debugging.

Elvish is a cross-platform shell, supporting Linux, BSDs and Windows. It features an expressive programming language, with features like namespacing and anonymous functions, and a fully programmable user interface with friendly defaults. It is suitable for both interactive use and scripting.

Package http is a fork of stdlib's net/http that provides HTTP client and server implementations that are compatible with alternative TLS libraries such as github.com/refraction-networking/utls. See https://github.com/ooni/oohttp for more information on how to use this package and which are its limitations. Get, Head, Post, and PostForm make HTTP (or HTTPS) requests: The caller must close the response body when finished with it: For control over HTTP client headers, redirect policy, and other settings, create a Client: For control over proxies, TLS configuration, keep-alives, compression, and other settings, create a Transport: Clients and Transports are safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines and for efficiency should only be created once and re-used. ListenAndServe starts an HTTP server with a given address and handler. The handler is usually nil, which means to use DefaultServeMux. Handle and HandleFunc add handlers to DefaultServeMux: More control over the server's behavior is available by creating a custom Server: Starting with Go 1.6, the http package has transparent support for the HTTP/2 protocol when using HTTPS. Programs that must disable HTTP/2 can do so by setting Transport.TLSNextProto (for clients) or Server.TLSNextProto (for servers) to a non-nil, empty map. Alternatively, the following GODEBUG settings are currently supported: Please report any issues before disabling HTTP/2 support: https://golang.org/s/http2bug The http package's Transport and Server both automatically enable HTTP/2 support for simple configurations. To enable HTTP/2 for more complex configurations, to use lower-level HTTP/2 features, or to use a newer version of Go's http2 package, import "golang.org/x/net/http2" directly and use its ConfigureTransport and/or ConfigureServer functions. Manually configuring HTTP/2 via the golang.org/x/net/http2 package takes precedence over the net/http package's built-in HTTP/2 support.

Package log4go provides level-based and highly configurable logging. This is inspired by the logging functionality in Java. Essentially, you create a Logger object and create output filters for it. You can send whatever you want to the Logger, and it will filter that based on your settings and send it to the outputs. This way, you can put as much debug code in your program as you want, and when you're done you can filter out the mundane messages so only the important ones show up. Utility functions are provided to make life easier. Here is some example code to get started: log := log4go.NewLogger() log.AddFilter("stdout", log4go.DEBUG, log4go.NewConsoleLogWriter()) log.AddFilter("log", log4go.FINE, log4go.NewFileLogWriter("example.log", true)) log.Info("The time is now: %s", time.LocalTime().Format("15:04:05 MST 2006/01/02")) The first two lines can be combined with the utility NewDefaultLogger: log := log4go.NewDefaultLogger(log4go.DEBUG) log.AddFilter("log", log4go.FINE, log4go.NewFileLogWriter("example.log", true)) log.Info("The time is now: %s", time.LocalTime().Format("15:04:05 MST 2006/01/02")) Usage notes: Changes from 2.0: Future work: (please let me know if you think I should work on any of these particularly)

Package tcell provides a lower-level, portable API for building programs that interact with terminals or consoles. It works with both common (and many uncommon!) terminals or terminal emulators, and Windows console implementations. It provides support for up to 256 colors, text attributes, and box drawing elements. A database of terminals built from a real terminfo database is provided, along with code to generate new database entries. Tcell offers very rich support for mice, dependent upon the terminal of course. (Windows, XTerm, and iTerm 2 are known to work very well.) If the environment is not Unicode by default, such as an ISO8859 based locale or GB18030, Tcell can convert input and output, so that your terminal can operate in whatever locale is most convenient, while the application program can just assume "everything is UTF-8". Reasonable defaults are used for updating characters to something suitable for display. Unicode box drawing characters will be converted to use the alternate character set of your terminal, if native conversions are not available. If no ACS is available, then some ASCII fallbacks will be used. Note that support for non-UTF-8 locales (other than C) must be enabled by the application using RegisterEncoding() -- we don't have them all enabled by default to avoid bloating the application unneccessarily. (These days UTF-8 is good enough for almost everyone, and nobody should be using legacy locales anymore.) Also, actual glyphs for various code point will only be displayed if your terminal or emulator (or the font the emulator is using) supports them. A rich set of keycodes is supported, with support for up to 65 function keys, and various other special keys.

It provides support for up to 256 colors, text attributes, and box drawing elements. A database of terminals built from a real terminfo database is provided, along with code to generate new database entries. Tcell offers very rich support for mice, dependent upon the terminal of course. (Windows, XTerm, and iTerm 2 are known to work very well.) If the environment is not Unicode by default, such as an ISO8859 based locale or GB18030, Tcell can convert input and output, so that your terminal can operate in whatever locale is most convenient, while the application program can just assume "everything is UTF-8". Reasonable defaults are used for updating characters to something suitable for display. Unicode box drawing characters will be converted to use the alternate character set of your terminal, if native conversions are not available. If no ACS is available, then some ASCII fallbacks will be used. Note that support for non-UTF-8 locales (other than C) must be enabled by the application using RegisterEncoding() -- we don't have them all enabled by default to avoid bloating the application unneccessarily. (These days UTF-8 is good enough for almost everyone, and nobody should be using legacy locales anymore.) Also, actual glyphs for various code point will only be displayed if your terminal or emulator (or the font the emulator is using) supports them. A rich set of keycodes is supported, with support for up to 65 function keys, and various other special keys.

Package kms provides the client and types for making API requests to AWS Key Management Service. AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) is an encryption and key management web service. This guide describes the AWS KMS operations that you can call programmatically. For general information about AWS KMS, see the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/). AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .Net, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to AWS KMS and other AWS services. For example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as signing requests (see below), managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/). We recommend that you use the AWS SDKs to make programmatic API calls to AWS KMS. Clients must support TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.0. We recommend TLS 1.2. Clients must also support cipher suites with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes. Requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key. We strongly recommend that you do not use your AWS account (root) access key ID and secret key for everyday work with AWS KMS. Instead, use the access key ID and secret access key for an IAM user, or you can use the AWS Security Token Service to generate temporary security credentials that you can use to sign requests. All AWS KMS operations require Signature Version 4 (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html). AWS KMS supports AWS CloudTrail, a service that logs AWS API calls and related events for your AWS account and delivers them to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. By using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were made to AWS KMS, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/). For more information about credentials and request signing, see the following: AWS Security Credentials (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html) This topic provides general information about the types of credentials used for accessing AWS. Temporary Security Credentials (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html) This section of the IAM User Guide describes how to create and use temporary security credentials. Signature Version 4 Signing Process (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html) This set of topics walks you through the process of signing a request using an access key ID and a secret access key. Of the APIs discussed in this guide, the following will prove the most useful for most applications. You will likely perform actions other than these, such as creating keys and assigning policies, by using the console.

See kms package documentation for more information. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/kms/ To AWS Key Management Service with the SDK use the New function to create a new service client. With that client you can make API requests to the service. These clients are safe to use concurrently. See the SDK's documentation for more information on how to use the SDK. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/ See aws.Config documentation for more information on configuring SDK clients. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/#Config See the AWS Key Management Service client KMS for more information on creating client for this service. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/kms/#New

Package sts provides the client and types for making API requests to AWS Security Token Service. The AWS Security Token Service (STS) is a web service that enables you to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users or for users that you authenticate (federated users). This guide provides descriptions of the STS API. For more detailed information about using this service, go to Temporary Security Credentials (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html). As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of the AWS SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to STS. For example, the SDKs take care of cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see the Tools for Amazon Web Services page (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/). For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the API, go to Signing AWS API Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html) in the AWS General Reference. For general information about the Query API, go to Making Query Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/IAM_UsingQueryAPI.html) in Using IAM. For information about using security tokens with other AWS products, go to AWS Services That Work with IAM (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) in the IAM User Guide. If you're new to AWS and need additional technical information about a specific AWS product, you can find the product's technical documentation at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/ (http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/). The AWS Security Token Service (STS) has a default endpoint of https://sts.amazonaws.com that maps to the US East (N. Virginia) region. Additional regions are available and are activated by default. For more information, see Activating and Deactivating AWS STS in an AWS Region (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_enable-regions.html) in the IAM User Guide. For information about STS endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#sts_region) in the AWS General Reference. STS supports AWS CloudTrail, which is a service that records AWS calls for your AWS account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were successfully made to STS, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/what_is_cloud_trail_top_level.html).
