Variables

var (
	// ErrBufferFull is returned when the write call will cause the buffer to be filled beyond its limit.
	ErrBufferFull = errors.New("buffer is full")

	// ErrAlreadyFlushed is returned when the buffer is reset even though a handler already flushed the data
	// to the underlying writer.
	ErrAlreadyFlushed = errors.New("already flushed")
)

var ErrContextBuilderRequired = errors.New("context builder required")

ErrContextBuilderRequired is thrown when the context cannot be cased from context.Context.

Functions

func Errorf

func Errorf(status int, format string, vals ...any) error

Errorf formats an error with a http status code.

func Handle

func Handle[C context.Context](
	hdlf HandlerFunc[C], os ...Option[C],
) http.HandlerFunc

Handle takes a handler function with a customizable context that is able to return an error. To support this the response is buffered until the handler is done. If an error occurs the buffer is discarded and a full replacement response can be formulated. The underlying buffer is re-used between requests for improved performance.

func NewError

func NewError(status int, err error) error

NewError inits a new coded error.

func Use

func Use(h http.Handler, m ...Middleware) http.Handler

Use turns a slice of middleware into wrapped calls. The left-most middleware will become the other middleware. 'h' will be come the inner handler.

Types

type ContextBuilderFunc

type ContextBuilderFunc[C context.Context] func(r *http.Request) (C, error)

ContextBuilderFunc describes the signature of a context builder.

type ErrorHandlerFunc

type ErrorHandlerFunc[C context.Context] func(c C, w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error)

ErrorHandlerFunc can be configured across handlers to standardize how handling errors are handled.

type HandlerFunc

type HandlerFunc[C context.Context] func(C, http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) error

HandlerFunc mirrors the http.HandlerFunc but with a generic context type and error return.

type Middleware

type Middleware func(http.Handler) http.Handler

Middleware the de-facto type for middleware in the Go ecosystem.

type NoContextErrorHandlerFunc

type NoContextErrorHandlerFunc func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, err error)

NoContextErrorHandlerFunc can be configured across handlers to standardize how handling errors in case context building has failed.

func StandarErrorHandler

func StandarErrorHandler(
	showRealMessages bool,
	errf func(w http.ResponseWriter, msg string, code int),
) NoContextErrorHandlerFunc

StandardErrorHandler implements an error handler with common behaviour. It allow configuring if real error messages are printed and it sets the status code for errors created with NewError, or Errorf. The errf has the same signature as http.Error and it's common to pass it here.

type Option

type Option[C context.Context] func(*opts[C])

Option allows for customization of the (buffered) handling logic.

func WithBufferLimit

func WithBufferLimit[C context.Context](v int) Option[C]

WithBufferLimit allows limiting the buffered writer (if it buffered). This can protect against buffered response writers taking up too much memory per response.

func WithContextBuilder

func WithContextBuilder[C context.Context](f ContextBuilderFunc[C]) Option[C]

WithContextBuilder customizes how a request is turned into a context for the handlers. The builder func is not provided a ResponseWriter to force the user to not write anything as the buffer will not be reset when an error is returned.

func WithContextErrorHandling

func WithContextErrorHandling[C context.Context](f ErrorHandlerFunc[C]) Option[C]

WithContextErrorHandling allows for custom logic to handle the error returned from the Handler in case there is a context available. By default the handle just calls the non-context ErrorHandler. It allows full customization of the error response (including headers and status code) but the error might be due to a failture to reset the buffer or because writing to the underlying ResponseWriter has failed. In those cases it might not be possible to guarantee a complete error response can be returned.

func WithErrorHandling

func WithErrorHandling[C context.Context](f NoContextErrorHandlerFunc) Option[C]

WithErrorHandling allows for custom error handling in case there is no context available. This happens when the context builder has failed for some reason. If no specific error handler is set for errors with a context this handler is used.

func WithPanicHandler

func WithPanicHandler[C context.Context](f PanicHandlerFunc[C]) Option[C]

WithPanicHandler configures how exeptions in the handling function are caught. By default, the recovered panic is send to the error handler but it can be customized for example to provide custom logging. Additionally the panic handler can be set to nil to disable recovering of panics altogether. This can be done because it is also common to have middleware recover any panics, which has the advantage being able to catch panics in the middleware chain as well.

Panics in the context builder are not caught by this logic and should be taken care of in the context builder itself. But panics in error handling with a context are caught by this handler.

type PanicHandlerFunc

type PanicHandlerFunc[C context.Context] func(c C, w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, v any, e ErrorHandlerFunc[C])

PanicHandlerFunc can be configured across handlers to standardize how panics are handled.

type ResponseBuffer

type ResponseBuffer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ResponseBuffer is a http.ResponseWriter implementation that buffers writes up to configurable amount of bytes. This allows the implementation of handlers that can error halfway and return a completely different response instead of what was written before the error occurred.

func NewBufferResponse

func NewBufferResponse(resp http.ResponseWriter, limit int) *ResponseBuffer

NewBufferResponse inits a buffered response writer. It has a configurable limit after which the writing will return an error. This is to protect unchecked handlers from claiming too much memory. Limit can be set to -1 to disable this check.

func (*ResponseBuffer) FlushError

func (w *ResponseBuffer) FlushError() error

FlushError any buffered bytes to the underlying response writer and resets the buffer. After flush has been called the response data should be considered sent and in-transport to the client.

func (*ResponseBuffer) Free

func (w *ResponseBuffer) Free()

Free resets all members of the ResponseBuffer and puts it back in the sync pool to allow it to be re-used for a possible next initilization. It should be called after the handling has completed and the buffer should not be used after.

func (*ResponseBuffer) Header

func (w *ResponseBuffer) Header() http.Header

Header allows users to modify the headers (and trailers) sent to the client. The headers are not actually flushed to the underlying writer until a write or flush is being triggered.

func (*ResponseBuffer) ImplicitFlush

func (w *ResponseBuffer) ImplicitFlush() error

ImplicitFlush flushes data to the underlying writer without calling .Flush on it by proxy. This is provided separately from FlushError to allow for emulating the original ResponseWriter behaviour more correctly.

func (*ResponseBuffer) Reset

func (w *ResponseBuffer) Reset() error

Reset provides the differentiating feature from a regular ResponseWriter: it allows changing the response completely even if some data has been written already. This behaviour cannot be guaranteed if flush has been called explicitly. In that case it will return ErrAlreadyFlushed.

func (*ResponseBuffer) Unwrap

func (w *ResponseBuffer) Unwrap() http.ResponseWriter

Unwrap returns the underlying response writer. This is expected by the http.ResponseController to allow it to call appropriate optional interface implementations.

func (*ResponseBuffer) Write

func (w *ResponseBuffer) Write(buf []byte) (int, error)

Write appends the contents of p to the buffered response, growing the internal buffer as needed. If the write will cause the buffer be larger then the configure limit it will return ErrBufferFull.

func (*ResponseBuffer) WriteHeader

func (w *ResponseBuffer) WriteHeader(statusCode int)

WriteHeader will cause headers to be flushed to the underlying writer while calling WriteHeader on the underlying writer with the given status code.

type Reverser

type Reverser struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Reverser keeps track of named patterns and allows building URLS.

func NewReverser

func NewReverser() *Reverser

NewReverser inits the reverser.

func (Reverser) Named

func (r Reverser) Named(name, s string) string

Named is a convenience method that panics if naming the pattern fails.

func (Reverser) NamedPattern

func (r Reverser) NamedPattern(name, s string) (string, error)

NamedPattern will parse 's' as a path pattern while returning it as well.

func (Reverser) Reverse

func (r Reverser) Reverse(name string, vals ...string) (string, error)

Reverse reverses the named pattern into a url.
