Iris Web Framework

build status report card vscode-iris chat view examples release

Iris is a fast, simple yet fully featured and very efficient web framework for Go.

Iris provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website or API.

Iris offers a complete and decent solution and support for all gophers around the globe.

Learn what others say about Iris and star this github repository to stay up to date.

Installation

The only requirement is the Go Programming Language

$ go get -u github.com/kataras/iris

Iris takes advantage of the vendor directory feature. You get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes.

Known issues for code editors and IDEs at general

VS Code

For some reason the latest vscode-go language extension does not provide enough intelligence for the iris.Context type alias (input parameters documentation and definition navigation). Probably you have already experienced this issue with other Go libraries too, it is not an iris-specific issue, it is a general issue for all Golang type aliases.

Therefore if you use VS Code and you need these editor's features, import the original path; add an extra import statement of the original path of the Context, that will do it:

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris"
    "github.com/kataras/iris/context" // <- HERE
)

Benchmarks

Iris vs .NET Core vs Expressjs

Iris vs .NET Core(C#) vs Node.js (Express)

Updated at: Monday, 22 October 2018

Iris vs the rest Go web frameworks and routers vs any other alternative

As shown in the benchmarks (from a third-party source), Iris is the fastest open-source Go web framework in the planet. The net/http 100% compatible router muxie I've created some weeks ago is also trending there with amazing results, fastest net/http router ever created as well. View the results at:

Philosophy

The Iris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs. Keep note that, so far, iris is the fastest web framework ever created in terms of performance.

Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most used template engines, you can quickly craft the perfect application.

Quick start

# assume the following codes in example.go file
$ cat example.go
package main

import "github.com/kataras/iris"

func main() {
    app := iris.Default()

        ctx.JSON(iris.Map{
            "message": "pong",
        })
    })
    // listen and serve on http://0.0.0.0:8080.
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}
# run example.go and visit http://0.0.0.0:8080/ping on browser
$ go run example.go

Usage:

app.Get("/profile/{name:alphabetical max(255)}", func(ctx iris.Context){
    name := ctx.Params().Get("name")
    // len(name) <=255 otherwise this route will fire 404 Not Found
    // and this handler will not be executed at all.
})

Do It Yourself:

The RegisterFunc can accept any function that returns a func(paramValue string) bool. Or just a func(string) bool. If the validation fails then it will fire 404 or whatever status code the else keyword has.

latLonExpr := "^-?[0-9]{1,3}(?:\\.[0-9]{1,10})?$"
latLonRegex, _ := regexp.Compile(latLonExpr)

// Register your custom argument-less macro function to the :string param type.
// MatchString is a type of func(string) bool, so we use it as it is.
app.Macros().Get("string").RegisterFunc("coordinate", latLonRegex.MatchString)

app.Get("/coordinates/{lat:string coordinate()}/{lon:string coordinate()}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.Writef("Lat: %s | Lon: %s", ctx.Params().Get("lat"), ctx.Params().Get("lon"))
})

Register your custom macro function which accepts two int arguments.


app.Macros().Get("string").RegisterFunc("range", func(minLength, maxLength int) func(string) bool {
    return func(paramValue string) bool {
        return len(paramValue) >= minLength && len(paramValue) <= maxLength
    }
})

app.Get("/limitchar/{name:string range(1,200) else 400}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    name := ctx.Params().Get("name")
    ctx.Writef(`Hello %s | the name should be between 1 and 200 characters length
    otherwise this handler will not be executed`, name)
})

Register your custom macro function which accepts a slice of strings [...,...].

app.Macros().Get("string").RegisterFunc("has", func(validNames []string) func(string) bool {
    return func(paramValue string) bool {
        for _, validName := range validNames {
            if validName == paramValue {
                return true
            }
        }

        return false
    }
})

app.Get("/static_validation/{name:string has([kataras,gerasimos,maropoulos])}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    name := ctx.Params().Get("name")
    ctx.Writef(`Hello %s | the name should be "kataras" or "gerasimos" or "maropoulos"
    otherwise this handler will not be executed`, name)
})

Example Code:

func main() {
    app := iris.Default()

    // This handler will match /user/john but will not match neither /user/ or /user.
    app.Get("/user/{name}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        name := ctx.Params().Get("name")
        ctx.Writef("Hello %s", name)
    })

    // This handler will match /users/42
    // but will not match /users/-1 because uint should be bigger than zero
    // neither /users or /users/.
    app.Get("/users/{id:uint64}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        id := ctx.Params().GetUint64Default("id", 0)
        ctx.Writef("User with ID: %d", id)
    })

    // However, this one will match /user/john/send and also /user/john/everything/else/here
    // but will not match /user/john neither /user/john/.
    app.Post("/user/{name:string}/{action:path}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        name := ctx.Params().Get("name")
        action := ctx.Params().Get("action")
        message := name + " is " + action
        ctx.WriteString(message)
    })

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

If parameter type is missing then defaults to string, therefore {name:string} and {name} do the same exactly thing.

Dependency Injection

The package hero contains features for binding any object or functions that handlers can use, these are called dependencies.

With Iris you get truly safe bindings thanks to the hero package. It is blazing-fast, near to raw handlers performance because Iris calculates everything before even server goes online!

Below you will see some screenshots I prepared for you in order to be easier to understand:

1. Path Parameters - Built'n Dependencies

2. Services - Static Dependencies

3. Per-Request - Dynamic Dependencies

hero funcs are very easy to understand and when you start using them you never go back.

With Iris you also get real and blazing-fast MVC support which uses "hero" under the hoods.

Querystring parameters

func main() {
    app := iris.Default()

    // Query string parameters are parsed using the existing underlying request object.
    // The request responds to a url matching:  /welcome?firstname=Jane&lastname=Doe.
    app.Get("/welcome", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        firstname := ctx.URLParamDefault("firstname", "Guest")
        // shortcut for ctx.Request().URL.Query().Get("lastname").
        lastname := ctx.URLParam("lastname") 

        ctx.Writef("Hello %s %s", firstname, lastname)
    })

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

Multipart/Urlencoded Form

func main() {
    app := iris.Default()

    app.Post("/form_post", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        message := ctx.FormValue("message")
        nick := ctx.FormValueDefault("nick", "anonymous")

        ctx.JSON(iris.Map{
            "status":  "posted",
            "message": message,
            "nick":    nick,
        })
    })

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

Another example: query + post form

POST /post?id=1234&page=1 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

name=manu&message=this_is_great
func main() {
    app := iris.Default()

    app.Post("/post", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        id := ctx.URLParam("id")
        page := ctx.URLParamDefault("page", "0")
        name := ctx.FormValue("name")
        message := ctx.FormValue("message")
        // or `ctx.PostValue` for POST, PUT & PATCH-only HTTP Methods.

        app.Logger().Infof("id: %s; page: %s; name: %s; message: %s", id, page, name, message)
    })

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}
id: 1234; page: 1; name: manu; message: this_is_great

Extract Referer

package main

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris"
    "github.com/kataras/iris/context"
)

func main() {
    app := iris.New()

    app.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) /* or iris.Context, it's the same for Go 1.9+. */ {

        // request header "referer" or url parameter "referer".
        r := ctx.GetReferrer()
        switch r.Type {
        case context.ReferrerSearch:
            ctx.Writef("Search %s: %s\n", r.Label, r.Query)
            ctx.Writef("Google: %s\n", r.GoogleType)
        case context.ReferrerSocial:
            ctx.Writef("Social %s\n", r.Label)
        case context.ReferrerIndirect:
            ctx.Writef("Indirect: %s\n", r.URL)
        }
    })

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

Upload files

const maxSize = 5 << 20 // 5MB

func main() {
    app := iris.Default()
    app.Post("/upload", iris.LimitRequestBodySize(maxSize), func(ctx iris.Context) {
        //
        // UploadFormFiles
        // uploads any number of incoming files ("multiple" property on the form input).
        //

        // The second, optional, argument
        // can be used to change a file's name based on the request,
        // at this example we will showcase how to use it
        // by prefixing the uploaded file with the current user's ip.
        ctx.UploadFormFiles("./uploads", beforeSave)
    })

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

func beforeSave(ctx iris.Context, file *multipart.FileHeader) {
    ip := ctx.RemoteAddr()
    // make sure you format the ip in a way
    // that can be used for a file name (simple case):
    ip = strings.Replace(ip, ".", "_", -1)
    ip = strings.Replace(ip, ":", "_", -1)

    // you can use the time.Now, to prefix or suffix the files
    // based on the current time as well, as an exercise.
    // i.e unixTime :=	time.Now().Unix()
    // prefix the Filename with the $IP-
    // no need for more actions, internal uploader will use this
    // name to save the file into the "./uploads" folder.
    file.Filename = ip + "-" + file.Filename
}

How to curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/upload \
  -F "files[]=@./myfile.zip" \
  -F "files[]=@./mysecondfile.zip" \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"

Grouping routes

func main() {
	app := iris.Default()

	// Simple group: v1.
	v1 := app.Party("/v1")
	{
		v1.Post("/login", loginEndpoint)
		v1.Post("/submit", submitEndpoint)
		v1.Post("/read", readEndpoint)
	}

	// Simple group: v2.
	v2 := app.Party("/v2")
	{
		v2.Post("/login", loginEndpoint)
		v2.Post("/submit", submitEndpoint)
		v2.Post("/read", readEndpoint)
	}

	app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

Blank Iris without middleware by default

Use

app := iris.New()

instead of

// Default with the Logger and Recovery middleware already attached.
app := iris.Default()

Using middleware

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris"

    "github.com/kataras/iris/middleware/recover"
    "github.com/kataras/iris/middleware/logger"
)

func main() {
    // Creates an application without any middleware by default.
    app := iris.New()

    // Recover middleware recovers from any panics and writes a 500 if there was one.
    app.Use(recover.New())

    requestLogger := logger.New(logger.Config{
        // Status displays status code
        Status: true,
        // IP displays request's remote address
        IP: true,
        // Method displays the http method
        Method: true,
        // Path displays the request path
        Path: true,
        // Query appends the url query to the Path.
        Query: true,

        // if !empty then its contents derives from `ctx.Values().Get("logger_message")
        // will be added to the logs.
        MessageContextKeys: []string{"logger_message"},

        // if !empty then its contents derives from `ctx.GetHeader("User-Agent")
        MessageHeaderKeys: []string{"User-Agent"},
    })
    app.Use(requestLogger)

    // Per route middleware, you can add as many as you desire.
    app.Get("/benchmark", MyBenchLogger(), benchEndpoint)

    // Authorization party /user.
    // authorized := app.Party("/user", AuthRequired())
    // exactly the same as:
    authorized := app.Party("/user")
    // per party middleware! in this case we use the custom created
    // AuthRequired() middleware just in the "authorized" group/party.
    authorized.Use(AuthRequired())
    {
        authorized.Post("/login", loginEndpoint)
        authorized.Post("/submit", submitEndpoint)
        authorized.Post("/read", readEndpoint)

        // nested group: /user/testing
        testing := authorized.Party("/testing")
        testing.Get("/analytics", analyticsEndpoint)
    }

    // Listen and serve on http://0.0.0.0:8080
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

How to write log file

package main

import (
	"os"
	"time"

	"github.com/kataras/iris"
)

// Get a filename based on the date, just for the sugar.
func todayFilename() string {
    today := time.Now().Format("Jan 02 2006")
    return today + ".txt"
}

func newLogFile() *os.File {
    filename := todayFilename()
    // Open the file, this will append to the today's file if server restarted.
    f, err := os.OpenFile(filename, os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY|os.O_APPEND, 0666)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    return f
}

func main() {
    f := newLogFile()
    defer f.Close()

    app := iris.New()
    // Attach the file as logger, remember, iris' app logger is just an io.Writer.
    // Use the following code if you need to write the logs to file and console at the same time.
    // app.Logger().SetOutput(io.MultiWriter(f, os.Stdout))
    app.Logger().SetOutput(f)

    app.Get("/ping", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        // for the sake of simplicity, in order see the logs at the ./_today_.txt
        ctx.Application().Logger().Infof("Request path: %s", ctx.Path())
        ctx.WriteString("pong")
    })

    // Navigate to http://localhost:8080/ping
    // and open the ./logs{TODAY}.txt file.
    app.Run(
        iris.Addr(":8080"),
        iris.WithoutBanner,
        iris.WithoutServerError(iris.ErrServerClosed),
    )
}

Model binding and validation

Iris uses go-playground/validator.v9 for validation. Check the full docs on tags usage here.

Example detail code.

Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set json:"fieldname".

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/kataras/iris"
    "gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v9"
)

// User contains user information.
type User struct {
    FirstName      string     `json:"fname"`
    LastName       string     `json:"lname"`
    Age            uint8      `json:"age" validate:"gte=0,lte=130"`
    Email          string     `json:"email" validate:"required,email"`
    FavouriteColor string     `json:"favColor" validate:"hexcolor|rgb|rgba"`
    Addresses      []*Address `json:"addresses" validate:"required,dive,required"`
}

// Address houses a users address information.
type Address struct {
    Street string `json:"street" validate:"required"`
    City   string `json:"city" validate:"required"`
    Planet string `json:"planet" validate:"required"`
    Phone  string `json:"phone" validate:"required"`
}

// Use a single instance of Validate, it caches struct info.
var validate *validator.Validate

func main() {
    validate = validator.New()

    // Register validation for 'User'
    // NOTE: only have to register a non-pointer type for 'User', validator
    // internally dereferences during it's type checks.
    validate.RegisterStructValidation(UserStructLevelValidation, User{})

    app := iris.New()
    app.Post("/user", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        var user User
        if err := ctx.ReadJSON(&user); err != nil {
            // Handle error.
        }

        // Returns InvalidValidationError for bad validation input,
        // nil or ValidationErrors ( []FieldError )
        err := validate.Struct(user)
        if err != nil {

            // This check is only needed when your code could produce
            // an invalid value for validation such as interface with nil
            // value most including myself do not usually have code like this.
            if _, ok := err.(*validator.InvalidValidationError); ok {
                ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusInternalServerError)
                ctx.WriteString(err.Error())
                return
            }

            ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusBadRequest)
            for _, err := range err.(validator.ValidationErrors) {
                fmt.Println()
                fmt.Println(err.Namespace())
                fmt.Println(err.Field())
                fmt.Println(err.StructNamespace())
                fmt.Println(err.StructField())
                fmt.Println(err.Tag())
                fmt.Println(err.ActualTag())
                fmt.Println(err.Kind())

            }

            return
        }

    })

func setupWebsocket(app *iris.Application) {
    // create our echo websocket server
    ws := websocket.New(websocket.Config{
        ReadBufferSize:  1024,
        WriteBufferSize: 1024,
    })
    ws.OnConnection(handleConnection)

    // register the server on an endpoint.

func handleConnection(c websocket.Connection) {
	// Read events from browser
    c.On("chat", func(msg string) {
        // Print the message to the console, c.Context() is the iris's http context.
        fmt.Printf("%s sent: %s\n", c.Context().RemoteAddr(), msg)
        // Write message back to the client message owner with:

        // Write message to all except this client with:

    })
}

Cookies

Are you looking about http sessions instead?

Let's write a simple application which will make use of the HTTP Cookies.

$ cat _examples/cookies/basic/main.go
package main

import "github.com/kataras/iris"

func newApp() *iris.Application {
    app := iris.New()

    // Set A Cookie.
    app.Get("/cookies/{name}/{value}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        name := ctx.Params().Get("name")
        value := ctx.Params().Get("value")

        ctx.SetCookieKV(name, value)

        ctx.Writef("cookie added: %s = %s", name, value)
    })

    // Retrieve A Cookie.
    app.Get("/cookies/{name}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        name := ctx.Params().Get("name")

        value := ctx.GetCookie(name)

        ctx.WriteString(value)
    })

    // Delete A Cookie.
    app.Delete("/cookies/{name}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
        name := ctx.Params().Get("name")

        ctx.RemoveCookie(name)

        ctx.Writef("cookie %s removed", name)
    })

    return app
}

func main() {
    app := newApp()

    // GET:    http://localhost:8080/cookies/my_name/my_value
    // GET:    http://localhost:8080/cookies/my_name
    // DELETE: http://localhost:8080/cookies/my_name
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}
  • Alternatively, use a regular http.Cookie: ctx.SetCookie(&http.Cookie{...})
  • If you want to set custom the path: ctx.SetCookieKV(name, value, iris.CookiePath("/custom/path/cookie/will/be/stored")).
  • If you want to be available only to the current request path: ctx.SetCookieKV(name, value, iris.CookieCleanPath /* or iris.CookiePath("") */)
    • iris.CookieExpires(time.Duration)
    • iris.CookieHTTPOnly(false)
  • ctx.Request().Cookie(name) is also available, it's the net/http approach

Testing

Iris offers an incredible support for the httpexpect, a Testing Framework for web applications. However, you are able to use the standard Go's net/http/httptest package as well but in this example we will use the kataras/iris/httptest.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "testing"

    "github.com/kataras/iris/httptest"
)

// go test -v -run=TestCookiesBasic$
func TestCookiesBasic(t *testing.T) {
    app := newApp()
    e := httptest.New(t, app, httptest.URL("http://example.com"))

    cookieName, cookieValue := "my_cookie_name", "my_cookie_value"

    // Test Set A Cookie.
    t1 := e.GET(fmt.Sprintf("/cookies/%s/%s", cookieName, cookieValue)).Expect().Status(httptest.StatusOK)
    t1.Cookie(cookieName).Value().Equal(cookieValue) // validate cookie's existence, it should be there now.
    t1.Body().Contains(cookieValue)

    path := fmt.Sprintf("/cookies/%s", cookieName)

    // Test Retrieve A Cookie.
    t2 := e.GET(path).Expect().Status(httptest.StatusOK)
    t2.Body().Equal(cookieValue)

    // Test Remove A Cookie.
    t3 := e.DELETE(path).Expect().Status(httptest.StatusOK)
    t3.Body().Contains(cookieName)

    t4 := e.GET(path).Expect().Status(httptest.StatusOK)
    t4.Cookies().Empty()
    t4.Body().Empty()
}

Learn

First of all, the most correct way to begin with a web framework is to learn the basics of the programming language and the standard http capabilities, if your web application is a very simple personal project without performance and maintainability requirements you may want to proceed just with the standard packages. After that follow the guidelines:

Middleware

Iris has a great collection of handlers[1][2] that you can use side by side with your web apps. However you are not limited to them - you are free to use any third-party middleware that is compatible with the net/http package, _examples/convert-handlers will show you the way.

Iris, unlike others, is 100% compatible with the standards and that's why the majority of the big companies that adapt Go to their workflow, like a very famous US Television Network, trust Iris; it's up-to-date and it will be always aligned with the std net/http package which is modernized by the Go Authors on each new release of the Go Programming Language.
