func (*Group) Use ¶
Use is a convenience method for adding middleware handlers to a Group. It uses WithMiddleware behind the scenes.
This method will return a pointer to the receiver Group, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Group implements.
func (*Group) WithHeader ¶

This method will return a pointer to the receiver Group, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Group implements.
func (*Group) WithMiddleware ¶
WithMiddleware adds Middleware handlers to the receiver Group.
Each middleware handler will be wrapped to create a call stack with the order in which the middleware is added being maintained. So, for example, if the user added A and B middleware via this method, the resulting callstack would be as follows -
Middleware A -> Middleware B -> Route Handler -> Middleware B -> Middleware A
(This actually a slight simplification, as internal middleware such as HTTP Logging, CORS, HTTP Error Handling and Route Panic Recovery may also be inserted into the call stack, depending on how the App is configured).
The middlewares argument is variadic, allowing the user to add multiple middleware functions in a single call.
This method will return a pointer to the receiver Group, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Group implements.
func (*Group) WithTimeout ¶
WithTimeout sets a request timeout amount and message for this Group.

type HTTPError ¶
An HTTPError represents an error with an additional HTTP status code
func NewHTTPError ¶
NewHTTPError creates and returns a new, initialised pointer to a HTTPError
type Route ¶
type Route struct {
Method string
Pattern string
Handler http.Handler
Middleware []func(http.Handler) http.Handler
Timeout Timeout
Headers map[string]string
Parent *Group
}
A Route encapsulates all of the information that the router will need to satisfy an HTTP request. Alongside supplying standard information such as what HTTP method and URL pattern a handler should be bound to, the Route also allows the enclosed handler to be configured with their own timeout, headers, and middleware.
func NewRoute ¶
NewRoute validates the input, then creates, initialises and returns a pointer to a Route. The validation step ensures that a valid HTTP method has been passed (http.MethodGet will be used, if not). The method will also be transformed to uppercase, and the pattern to lowercase.
func (*Route) ComputedHeaders ¶
ComputedHeaders dynamically calculates the HTTP headers that have been added to the Route and any parent Groups.
func (*Route) ComputedMiddleware ¶
Middleware returns the slice of MiddlewareFuncs that have been added to the Route.
func (*Route) ComputedPattern ¶
ComputedPattern dynamically calculates the pattern for the Route. It returns the URL pattern as a string.
func (*Route) ComputedTimeout ¶
Timeout returns the Timeout object that has been added to the Route.
func (*Route) String ¶
String is used internally to calculate a string signature for use as map keys, etc.
func (*Route) Use ¶
Use is a convenience method for adding middleware handlers to a Route. It uses WithMiddleware behind the scenes.
This method will return a pointer to the receiver Route, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Route implements.
func (*Route) WithHeader ¶
WithHeader sets an HTTP header for this route. Calling this method more than once will either overwrite an existing header, or add a new one.
This method will return a pointer to the receiver Route, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Route implements.
func (*Route) WithMiddleware ¶
WithMiddleware adds Middleware handlers to the receiver Route.
Each middleware handler will be wrapped to create a call stack with the order in which the middleware is added being maintained. So, for example, if the user added A and B middleware via this method, the resulting callstack would be as follows -
Middleware A -> Middleware B -> Route Handler -> Middleware B -> Middleware A
(This actually a slight simplification, as internal middleware such as HTTP Logging, CORS, HTTP Error Handling and Route Panic Recovery may also be inserted into the call stack, depending on how the App is configured).
The middlewares argument is variadic, allowing the user to add multiple middleware functions in a single call.
This method will return a pointer to the receiver Route, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Route implements.
func (*Route) WithTimeout ¶
WithTimeout sets a request timeout amount and message for this route.
This method will return a pointer to the receiver Route, allowing the user to chain any of the other builder methods that Route implements.
type Router ¶
type Router struct {
Mux *http.ServeMux
Logger *slog.Logger
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
The Router loads Routes into the underlying HTTP request multiplexer, as well as handling each request, ensuring that ResponseWriter and Request objects are properly configured. The Router also manages custom error handlers to ensure that the HTTP Error Handler can operate properly.
func (*Router) AddErrorHandler ¶ added in v0.8.0
AddErrorHandler maps the passed response code and handler. These error handlers will be used instead of the http.Handler equivalents when available.
func (*Router) Handle ¶
Handle registers the passed Route with the underlying HTTP request multiplexer.
func (*Router) ServeHTTP ¶
func (rt *Router) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
ServeHTTP allows the Router to fulfill the http.Handler interface, meaning that we can use it as a handler for the underlying HTTP request multiplexer (which by default is a http.ServeMux).
Having the Router act as the primary handler allows us to inject our custom ResponseWriter and add the system logger to the Request (for use by any middleware).
We can also intercept any error handlers returned by the underlying mux, and make sure that they are properly wrapped by the HTTP Error Handler and HTTP Logger (assuming the system is configured to enable them), as well as any middleware that was configured for the route.
The Router is one of the few places where you will see ServeHTTP used instead of ServeHTTPWithError in the system.
type SSLConfig ¶
type SSLConfig struct {
Enable bool `env:"ENABLE_SSL"`
Cert string `env:"SSL_CERT"`
Key string `env:"SSL_KEY"`
}
The SSLConfig contains settings (with defaults) for configuring SSL in the server.
type Server ¶
type Server struct {
Server http.Server
Router http.Handler
Logger *slog.Logger
Host string
Port int
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Server wraps the standard library net/http.Server. It provide default lifecycle management and debugger logging on top of the expected http.Server behaviour.
func (*Server) Address ¶
Address returns the server host and port as a formatted string ($HOST:$PORT).
func (*Server) ListenAndServe ¶
ListenAndServe directly proxies the http.Server.ListenAndServe method. It starts the server without TLS support on the configured address and port.
func (*Server) ListenAndServeTLS ¶
ListenAndServeTLS directly proxies the http.Server.ListenAndServeTLS method. It starts the server with TLS support on the configured address and port.
type ServerConfig ¶
type Timeout ¶
Timeout encapsulates a duration and message that should be used for applying timeouts to Route handlers, with a specific error message.
type TimeoutConfig ¶
type TimeoutConfig struct {
TCPReadTimeout int `env:"TCP_READ_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"2"`
TCPReadHeaderTimeout int `env:"TCP_READ_HEADER_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"1"`
TCPIdleTimeout int `env:"TCP_IDLE_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"120"`
TCPWriteTimeout int `env:"TCP_WRITE_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"5"`
TCPWriteTimeoutPadding int `env:"TCP_WRITE_TIMEOUT_BUFFER" envDefault:"1"`
RequestTimeout int `env:"HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT" envDefault:"5"`
TimeoutMessage string `env:"HTTP_TIMEOUT_MESSAGE" envDefault:"Request Timeout"`
}
The TimeoutConfig contains settings (with defaults) for configuring timeouts in the system. These settings mostly correlate to those used by the underlying http.Server
