Types

type ServerHooks

type ServerHooks struct {
	// RequestReceived is called as soon as a request enters the
	// server at the earliest available moment.
	RequestReceived func(context.Context) (context.Context, error)

	// RequestRouted is called when a request has been routed to a
	// particular method of the  server.
	RequestRouted func(context.Context) (context.Context, error)

	// ResponsePrepared is called when a request has been handled and a
	// response is ready to be sent to the client.
	ResponsePrepared func(context.Context) context.Context

	// ResponseSent is called when all bytes of a response (including an error
	// response) have been written. Because the ResponseSent hook is terminal, it
	// does not return a context.
	ResponseSent func(context.Context)

	// Error hook is called when a request responds with an Error,
	// either by the service implementation or by  itself.
	// The Error is passed as argument to the hook.
	Error func(context.Context, errors.Error) context.Context
}

ServerHooks is a container for callbacks that can instrument a -generated server. These callbacks all accept a context and return a context. They can use this to add to the request context as it threads through the system, appending values or deadlines to it.

The RequestReceived and RequestRouted hooks are special: they can return errors. If they return a non-nil error, handling for that request will be stopped at that point. The Error hook will be triggered, and the error will be sent to the client. This can be used for stuff like auth checks before deserializing a request.

The RequestReceived hook is always called first, and it is called for every request that the server handles. The last hook to be called in a request's lifecycle is always ResponseSent, even in the case of an error.

Details on the timing of each hook are documented as comments on the fields of the ServerHooks type.

func ChainHooks

func ChainHooks(hooks ...*ServerHooks) *ServerHooks

ChainHooks creates a new *ServerHooks which chains the callbacks in each of the constituent hooks passed in. Each hook function will be called in the order of the ServerHooks values passed in.

For the erroring hooks, RequestReceived and RequestRouted, any returned errors prevent processing by later hooks.
