An Elegant Golang Web Framework

Goyave is a progressive and accessible web application framework focused on REST APIs, aimed at making backend development easy and enjoyable. It has a philosophy of cleanliness and conciseness to make programs more elegant, easier to maintain and more focused.

Clean Code

Goyave has an expressive, elegant syntax, a robust structure and conventions. Minimalist calls and reduced redundancy are among the Goyave's core principles.

Fast Development

Develop faster and concentrate on the business logic of your application thanks to the many helpers and built-in functions.

Powerful functionalities

Goyave is accessible, yet powerful. The framework includes routing, request parsing, validation, localization, testing, authentication, and more!

Most golang frameworks for web development don't have a strong directory structure nor conventions to make applications have a uniform architecture and limit redundancy. This makes it difficult to work with them on different projects. In companies, having a well-defined and documented architecture helps new developers integrate projects faster, and reduces the time needed for maintaining them. For open source projects, it helps newcomers understanding the project and makes it easier to contribute. With Goyave, expect a full package with minimum setup.

Table of contents

Learning Goyave

The Goyave framework has an extensive documentation covering in-depth subjects and teaching you how to run a project using Goyave from setup to deployment.

Read the documentation

pkg.go.dev

Getting started

Requirements

  • Go 1.13+
  • Go modules

Install using the template project

You can bootstrap your project using the Goyave template project. This project has a complete directory structure already set up for you.

Linux / MacOS
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/System-Glitch/goyave/master/install.sh | bash -s my-project
Windows (Powershell)
> & ([scriptblock]::Create((curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/System-Glitch/goyave/master/install.ps1").Content)) -projectName my-project

Run go run my-project in your project's directory to start the server, then try to request the hello route.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/hello
Hi!

There is also an echo route, with basic validation of query parameters.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/echo?text=abc%20123
abc 123

Features tour

This section's goal is to give a brief look at the main features of the framework. It doesn't describe everything the framework has to offer, so don't consider this documentation. If you want a complete reference and documentation, head to pkg.go.dev and the official documentation.

Hello world from scratch

The example below shows a basic Hello world application using Goyave.

import "github.com/System-Glitch/goyave/v3"

func registerRoutes(router *goyave.Router) {
    router.Get("/hello", func(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
        response.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello world!")
    })
}

func main() {
    if err := goyave.Start(registerRoutes); err != nil {
        os.Exit(err.(*goyave.Error).ExitCode)
    }
}

Configuration

To configure your application, use the config.json file at your project's root. If you are using the template project, copy config.example.json to config.json. The following code is an example of configuration for a local development environment:

{
    "app": {
        "name": "goyave_template",
        "environment": "localhost",
        "debug": true,
        "defaultLanguage": "en-US"
    },
    "server": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "maintenance": false,
        "protocol": "http",
        "domain": "",
        "port": 8080,
        "httpsPort": 8081,
        "timeout": 10,
        "maxUploadSize": 10
    },
    "database": {
        "connection": "mysql",
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 3306,
        "name": "goyave",
        "username": "root",
        "password": "root",
        "options": "charset=utf8mb4&collation=utf8mb4_general_ci&parseTime=true&loc=Local",
        "maxOpenConnections": 20,
        "maxIdleConnections": 20,
        "maxLifetime": 300,
        "autoMigrate": false
    }
}

If this config file misses some config entries, the default values will be used.

All entries are validated. That means that the application will not start if you provided an invalid value in your config (for example if the specified port is not a number). That also means that a goroutine trying to change a config entry with the incorrect type will panic.
Entries can be registered with a default value, their type and authorized values from any package.

Getting a value:

config.GetString("app.name") // "goyave"
config.GetBool("app.debug") // true
config.GetInt("server.port") // 80
config.Has("app.name") // true

Setting a value:

config.Set("app.name", "my awesome app")

Learn more about configuration in the documentation.

Routing

Routing is an essential part of any Goyave application. Routes definition is the action of associating a URI, sometimes having parameters, with a handler which will process the request and respond to it. Separating and naming routes clearly is important to make your API or website clear and expressive.

Routes are defined in routes registrer functions. The main route registrer is passed to goyave.Start() and is executed automatically with a newly created root-level router.

func Register(router *goyave.Router) {
    // Register your routes here

    // With closure, not recommended
    router.Get("GET", "/hello", func(response *goyave.Response, r *goyave.Request) {
        response.String(http.StatusOK, "Hi!")
    })

    router.Get("/hello", myHandlerFunction)
    router.Post("/user", user.Register).Validate(user.RegisterRequest)
    router.Route("PUT|PATCH", "/user", user.Update).Validate(user.UpdateRequest)
    router.Route("POST", "/product", product.Store).Validate(product.StoreRequest).Middleware(middleware.Trim)
}

URIs can have parameters, defined using the format {name} or {name:pattern}. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched variable will be anything until the next slash.

Example:

router.Get("/product/{key}", product.Show)
router.Get("/product/{id:[0-9]+}", product.ShowById)
router.Get("/category/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", category.Show)

Route parameters can be retrieved as a map[string]string in handlers using the request's Params attribute.

func myHandlerFunction(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    category := request.Params["category"]
    id, _ := strconv.Atoi(request.Params["id"])
    //...
}

Learn more about routing in the documentation.

Controller

Controllers are files containing a collection of Handlers related to a specific feature. Each feature should have its own package. For example, if you have a controller handling user registration, user profiles, etc, you should create a http/controller/user package. Creating a package for each feature has the advantage of cleaning up route definitions a lot and helps keeping a clean structure for your project.

A Handler is a func(*goyave.Response, *goyave.Request). The first parameter lets you write a response, and the second contains all the information extracted from the raw incoming request.

Handlers receive a goyave.Response and a goyave.Request as parameters.
goyave.Request can give you a lot of information about the incoming request, such as its headers, cookies, or body. Learn more here.
goyave.Response implements http.ResponseWriter and is used to write a response. If you didn't write anything before the request lifecycle ends, 204 No Content is automatically written. Learn everything about reponses here.

Let's take a very simple CRUD as an example for a controller definition: http/controller/product/product.go:

func Index(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    products := []model.Product{}
    result := database.GetConnection().Find(&products)
    if response.HandleDatabaseError(result) {
        response.JSON(http.StatusOK, products)
    }
}

func Show(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    product := model.Product{}
    result := database.GetConnection().First(&product, request.Params["id"])
    if response.HandleDatabaseError(result) {
        response.JSON(http.StatusOK, product)
    }
}

func Store(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    product := model.Product{
        Name:  request.String("name"),
        Price: request.Numeric("price"),
    }
    if err := database.GetConnection().Create(&product).Error; err != nil {
        response.Error(err)
    } else {
        response.JSON(http.StatusCreated, map[string]uint{"id": product.ID})
    }
}

func Update(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    product := model.Product{}
    db := database.GetConnection()
    result := db.Select("id").First(&product, request.Params["id"])
    if response.HandleDatabaseError(result) {
        if err := db.Model(&product).Update("name", request.String("name")).Error; err != nil {
            response.Error(err)
        }
    }
}

func Destroy(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    product := model.Product{}
    db := database.GetConnection()
    result := db.Select("id").First(&product, request.Params["id"])
    if response.HandleDatabaseError(result) {
        if err := db.Delete(&product).Error; err != nil {
            response.Error(err)
        }
    }
}

Learn more about controllers in the documentation.

Middleware

Middleware are handlers executed before the controller handler. They are a convenient way to filter, intercept or alter HTTP requests entering your application. For example, middleware can be used to authenticate users. If the user is not authenticated, a message is sent to the user even before the controller handler is reached. However, if the user is authenticated, the middleware will pass to the next handler. Middleware can also be used to sanitize user inputs, by trimming strings for example, to log all requests into a log file, to automatically add headers to all your responses, etc.

func MyCustomMiddleware(next goyave.Handler) goyave.Handler {
    return func(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
        // Do something
        next(response, request) // Pass to the next handler
    }
}

To assign a middleware to a router, use the router.Middleware() function. Many middleware can be assigned at once. The assignment order is important as middleware will be executed in order.

router.Middleware(middleware.MyCustomMiddleware)

Learn more about middleware in the documentation.

Validation

Goyave provides a powerful, yet easy way to validate all incoming data, no matter its type or its format, thanks to a large number of validation rules.

Incoming requests are validated using rules set, which associate rules with each expected field in the request.

Validation rules can alter the raw data. That means that when you validate a field to be number, if the validation passes, you are ensured that the data you'll be using in your controller handler is a float64. Or if you're validating an IP, you get a net.IP object.

Validation is automatic. You just have to define a rules set and assign it to a route. When the validation doesn't pass, the request is stopped and the validation errors messages are sent as a response.

Rule sets are defined in the same package as the controller, typically in a separate file named request.go. Rule sets are named after the name of the controller handler they will be used with, and end with Request. For example, a rule set for the Store handler will be named StoreRequest. If a rule set can be used for multiple handlers, consider using a name suited for all of them. The rules for a store operation are often the same for update operations, so instead of duplicating the set, create one unique set called UpsertRequest.

Example: (http/controller/product/request.go)

var (
    StoreRequest validation.RuleSet = validation.RuleSet{
        "name":  {"required", "string", "between:3,50"},
        "price": {"required", "numeric", "min:0.01"},
        "image": {"nullable", "file", "image", "max:2048", "count:1"},
    }

    // ...
)

Once your rules sets are defined, you need to assign them to your routes using the Validate() method.

router.Post("/product", product.Store).Validate(product.StoreRequest)

Learn more about validation in the documentation.

Database

Most web applications use a database. In this section, we are going to see how Goyave applications can query a database, using the awesome Gorm ORM.

Database connections are managed by the framework and are long-lived. When the server shuts down, the database connections are closed automatically. So you don't have to worry about creating, closing or refreshing database connections in your application.

Very few code is required to get started with databases. There are some configuration options that you need to change though:

  • database.connection
  • database.host
  • database.port
  • database.name
  • database.username
  • database.password
  • database.options
  • database.maxOpenConnection
  • database.maxIdleConnection
  • database.maxLifetime
user := model.User{}
db := database.GetConnection()
db.First(&user)

fmt.Println(user)

Models are usually just normal Golang structs, basic Go types, or pointers of them. sql.Scanner and driver.Valuer interfaces are also supported.

func init() {
    database.RegisterModel(&User{})
}

type User struct {
    gorm.Model
    Name         string
    Age          sql.NullInt64
    Birthday     *time.Time
    Email        string  `gorm:"type:varchar(100);unique_index"`
    Role         string  `gorm:"size:255"` // set field size to 255
    MemberNumber *string `gorm:"unique;not null"` // set member number to unique and not null
    Num          int     `gorm:"AUTO_INCREMENT"` // set num to auto incrementable
    Address      string  `gorm:"index:addr"` // create index with name `addr` for address
    IgnoreMe     int     `gorm:"-"` // ignore this field
}

Learn more about using databases in the documentation.

Localization

The Goyave framework provides a convenient way to support multiple languages within your application. Out of the box, Goyave only provides the en-US language.

Language files are stored in the resources/lang directory.

.
└── resources
    └── lang
        └── en-US (language name)
            ├── fields.json (optional)
            ├── locale.json (optional)
            └── rules.json (optional)

The fields.json file contains the field names translations and their rule-specific messages. Translating field names helps making more expressive messages instead of showing the technical field name to the user. Rule-specific messages let you override a validation rule message for a specific field.

Example:

{
    "email": {
        "name": "email address",
        "rules": {
            "required": "You must provide an :field."
        }
    }
}

The locale.json file contains all language lines that are not related to validation. This is the place where you should write the language lines for your user interface or for the messages returned by your controllers.

Example:

{
    "product.created": "The product have been created with success.",
    "product.deleted": "The product have been deleted with success."
}

The rules.json file contains the validation rules messages. These messages can have placeholders, which will be automatically replaced by the validator with dynamic values. If you write custom validation rules, their messages shall be written in this file.

Example:

{
    "integer": "The :field must be an integer.",
    "starts_with": "The :field must start with one of the following values: :values.",
    "same": "The :field and the :other must match."
}

When an incoming request enters your application, the core language middleware checks if the Accept-Language header is set, and set the goyave.Request's Lang attribute accordingly. Localization is handled automatically by the validator.

func ControllerHandler(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    response.String(http.StatusOK, lang.Get(request.Lang, "my-custom-message"))
}

Learn more about localization in the documentation.

Testing

Goyave provides an API to ease the unit and functional testing of your application. This API is an extension of testify. goyave.TestSuite inherits from testify's suite.Suite, and sets up the environment for you. That means:

  • GOYAVE_ENV environment variable is set to test and restored to its original value when the suite is done.
  • All tests are run using your project's root as working directory. This directory is determined by the presence of a go.mod file.
  • Config and language files are loaded before the tests start. As the environment is set to test, you need a config.test.json in the root directory of your project.

This setup is done by the function goyave.RunTest, so you shouldn't run your test suites using testify's suite.Run() function.

The following example is a functional test and would be located in the test package.

import (
    "my-project/http/route"
    "github.com/System-Glitch/goyave/v3"
)

type CustomTestSuite struct {
    goyave.TestSuite
}

func (suite *CustomTestSuite) TestHello() {
    suite.RunServer(route.Register, func() {
        resp, err := suite.Get("/hello", nil)
        suite.Nil(err)
        suite.NotNil(resp)
        if resp != nil {
            defer resp.Body.Close()
            suite.Equal(200, resp.StatusCode)
            suite.Equal("Hi!", string(suite.GetBody(resp)))
        }
    })
}

func TestCustomSuite(t *testing.T) {
    goyave.RunTest(t, new(CustomTestSuite))
}

When writing functional tests, you can retrieve the response body easily using suite.GetBody(response).

resp, err := suite.Get("/get", nil)
suite.Nil(err)
if err == nil {
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    suite.Equal("response content", string(suite.GetBody(resp)))
}

URL-encoded requests:

headers := map[string]string{"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; param=value"}
resp, err := suite.Post("/product", headers, strings.NewReader("field=value"))
suite.Nil(err)
if err == nil {
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    suite.Equal("response content", string(suite.GetBody(resp)))
}

JSON requests:

headers := map[string]string{"Content-Type": "application/json"}
body, _ := json.Marshal(map[string]interface{}{"name": "Pizza", "price": 12.5})
resp, err := suite.Post("/product", headers, bytes.NewReader(body))
suite.Nil(err)
if err == nil {
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    suite.Equal("response content", string(suite.GetBody(resp)))
}

Testing JSON response:

suite.RunServer(route.Register, func() {
    resp, err := suite.Get("/product", nil)
    suite.Nil(err)
    if err == nil {
        defer resp.Body.Close()
        json := map[string]interface{}{}
        err := suite.GetJSONBody(resp, &json)
        suite.Nil(err)
        if err == nil { // You should always check parsing error before continuing.
            suite.Equal("value", json["field"])
            suite.Equal(float64(42), json["number"])
        }
    }
})

The testing API has many more features such as record generators, factories, database helpers, a middleware tester, support for multipart and file uploads...

Learn more about testing in the documentation.

Status handlers

Status handlers are regular handlers executed during the finalization step of the request's lifecycle if the response body is empty but a status code has been set. Status handler are mainly used to implement a custom behavior for user or server errors (400 and 500 status codes).

The following file http/controller/status/status.go is an example of custom 404 error handling:

package status

import "github.com/System-Glitch/goyave/v3"

func NotFound(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    if err := response.RenderHTML(response.GetStatus(), "errors/404.html", nil); err != nil {
        response.Error(err)
    }
}

Status handlers are registered in the router.

// Use "status.NotFound" for empty responses having status 404 or 405.
router.StatusHandler(status.NotFound, 404)

Learn more about status handlers in the documentation.

CORS

Goyave provides a built-in CORS module. CORS options are set on routers. If the passed options are not nil, the CORS core middleware is automatically added.

router.CORS(cors.Default())

CORS options should be defined before middleware and route definition. All of this router's sub-routers inherit CORS options by default. If you want to remove the options from a sub-router, or use different ones, simply create another cors.Options object and assign it.

cors.Default() can be used as a starting point for custom configuration.

options := cors.Default()
options.AllowedOrigins = []string{"https://google.com", "https://images.google.com"}
router.CORS(options)

Learn more about CORS in the documentation.

Authentication

Goyave provides a convenient and expandable way of handling authentication in your application. Authentication can be enabled when registering your routes:

import "github.com/System-Glitch/goyave/v3/auth"

//...

authenticator := auth.Middleware(&model.User{}, &auth.BasicAuthenticator{})
router.Middleware(authenticator)

Authentication is handled by a simple middleware calling an Authenticator. This middleware also needs a model, which will be used to fetch user information on a successful login.

Authenticators use their model's struct fields tags to know which field to use for username and password. To make your model compatible with authentication, you must add the auth:"username" and auth:"password" tags:

type User struct {
    gorm.Model
    Email    string `gorm:"type:char(100);unique_index" auth:"username"`
    Name     string `gorm:"type:char(100)"`
    Password string `gorm:"type:char(60)" auth:"password"`
}

When a user is successfully authenticated on a protected route, its information is available in the controller handler, through the request User field.

func Hello(response *goyave.Response, request *goyave.Request) {
    user := request.User.(*model.User)
    response.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello " + user.Name)
}

Learn more about authentication in the documentation.

Functions

func ClearStartupHooks 

func ClearStartupHooks()

ClearStartupHooks removes all startup hooks.

func DisableMaintenance 

func DisableMaintenance()

DisableMaintenance replace the main server handler with the original router.

func EnableMaintenance 

func EnableMaintenance()

EnableMaintenance replace the main server handler with the "Service Unavailable" handler.

func ErrorStatusHandler 

func ErrorStatusHandler(response *Response, request *Request)

ErrorStatusHandler a generic status handler for non-success codes. Writes the corresponding status message to the response.

func IsMaintenanceEnabled 

func IsMaintenanceEnabled() bool

IsMaintenanceEnabled return true if the server is currently in maintenance mode.

func IsReady 

func IsReady() bool

IsReady returns true if the server has finished initializing and is ready to serve incoming requests.

func PanicStatusHandler 

func PanicStatusHandler(response *Response, request *Request)

PanicStatusHandler for the HTTP 500 error. If debugging is enabled, writes the error details to the response and print stacktrace in the console. If debugging is not enabled, writes `{"error": "Internal Server Error"}` to the response.

func RegisterStartupHook 

func RegisterStartupHook(hook func())

RegisterStartupHook to execute some code once the server is ready and running.

func RunTest 

func RunTest(t *testing.T, suite ITestSuite) bool

RunTest run a test suite with prior initialization of a test environment. The GOYAVE_ENV environment variable is automatically set to "test" and restored to its original value at the end of the test run. All tests are run using your project's root as working directory. This directory is determined by the presence of a "go.mod" file.

func Start 

func Start(routeRegistrer func(*Router)) error

Start starts the web server. The routeRegistrer parameter is a function aimed at registering all your routes and middleware. 

import (
    "github.com/System-Glitch/goyave/v3"
    "my-project/route"
)

func main() {
    if err := goyave.Start(route.Register); err != nil {
        os.Exit(err.(*goyave.Error).ExitCode)
    }
}

Errors returned can be safely type-asserted to "*goyave.Error". Panics if the server is already running.

func Stop 

func Stop()

Stop gracefully shuts down the server without interrupting any active connections.

Make sure the program doesn't exit and waits instead for Stop to return.

Stop does not attempt to close nor wait for hijacked connections such as WebSockets. The caller of Stop should separately notify such long-lived connections of shutdown and wait for them to close, if desired.

func ValidationStatusHandler 

func ValidationStatusHandler(response *Response, request *Request)

ValidationStatusHandler for HTTP 400 and HTTP 422 errors. Writes the validation errors to the response.

Types

type Error 

type Error struct {
	ExitCode int
	Err      error
}

Error wrapper for errors directely related to the server itself. Contains an exit code and the original error.

func (*Error) Error 

func (e *Error) Error() string

type Handler 

type Handler func(*Response, *Request)

Handler is a controller or middleware function

func NativeHandler 

func NativeHandler(handler http.Handler) Handler

NativeHandler is an adapter function for "http.Handler". With this adapter, you can plug non-Goyave handlers to your application.

Just remember that the body contains the raw data, which haven't been validated nor converted. This means that native handlers are not guaranteed to work and cannot modify the request data. Request properties, such as headers, can still be modified. Prefer implementing a Goyave handler.

This feature is a compatibility layer with the rest of the Golang web ecosystem. Prefer using Goyave handlers if possible.

type ITestSuite 

type ITestSuite interface {
	RunServer(func(*Router), func())
