func Gzip

func Gzip(next http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc

Gzip wraps a HandlerFunc to compress responses when possible.

func Record

func Record(next http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc

Record wraps a HandlerFunc to record API requests for analytical purposes.

func Run

func Run()

Run adds Handlers to default http listener for API.

Types

type Createable

type Createable interface {
	// Create enables external clients to submit content of a specific type.
	Create(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) error
}

Createable accepts or rejects external POST requests to endpoints such as: /api/content/create?type=Review

type Deleteable

type Deleteable interface {
	// Delete enables external clients to delete content of a specific type.
	Delete(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) error
}

Deleteable accepts or rejects update POST requests to endpoints such as: /api/content/delete?type=Review&id=1

type Trustable

type Trustable interface {
	AutoApprove(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) error
}

Trustable allows external content to be auto-approved, meaning content sent as a Createable will be stored in the public content bucket.

type Updateable

type Updateable interface {
	// Update enabled external clients to update content of a specific type.
	Update(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) error
}

Updateable accepts or rejects update POST requests to endpoints such as: /api/content/update?type=Review&id=1
