Negroni

GoDoc Build Status codebeat codecov

Notice: This is the library formerly known as github.com/codegangsta/negroni -- Github will automatically redirect requests to this repository, but we recommend updating your references for clarity.

Negroni is an idiomatic approach to web middleware in Go. It is tiny, non-intrusive, and encourages use of net/http Handlers.

If you like the idea of Martini, but you think it contains too much magic, then Negroni is a great fit.

Language Translations:

Getting Started

After installing Go and setting up your GOPATH, create your first .go file. We'll call it server.go.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
  })

  n := negroni.Classic() // Includes some default middlewares
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3000", n)
}

Then install the Negroni package (NOTE: >= go 1.1 is required):

go get github.com/urfave/negroni

Then run your server:

go run server.go

You will now have a Go net/http webserver running on localhost:3000.

Packaging

If you are on Debian, negroni is also available as a package that you can install via apt install golang-github-urfave-negroni-dev (at the time of writing, it is in the sid repositories).

Is Negroni a Framework?

Negroni is not a framework. It is a middleware-focused library that is designed to work directly with net/http.

Routing?

Negroni is BYOR (Bring your own Router). The Go community already has a number of great http routers available, and Negroni tries to play well with all of them by fully supporting net/http. For instance, integrating with Gorilla Mux looks like so:

router := mux.NewRouter()
router.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler)

n := negroni.New(Middleware1, Middleware2)
// Or use a middleware with the Use() function
n.Use(Middleware3)
// router goes last
n.UseHandler(router)

http.ListenAndServe(":3001", n)

negroni.Classic()

negroni.Classic() provides some default middleware that is useful for most applications:

This makes it really easy to get started with some useful features from Negroni.

Handlers

Negroni provides a bidirectional middleware flow. This is done through the negroni.Handler interface:

type Handler interface {
  ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)
}

If a middleware hasn't already written to the ResponseWriter, it should call the next http.HandlerFunc in the chain to yield to the next middleware handler. This can be used for great good:

func MyMiddleware(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc) {
  // do some stuff before
  next(rw, r)
  // do some stuff after
}

And you can map it to the handler chain with the Use function:

n := negroni.New()
n.Use(negroni.HandlerFunc(MyMiddleware))

You can also map plain old http.Handlers:

n := negroni.New()

mux := http.NewServeMux()
// map your routes

n.UseHandler(mux)

http.ListenAndServe(":3000", n)

With()

Negroni has a convenience function called With. With takes one or more Handler instances and returns a new Negroni with the combination of the receiver's handlers and the new handlers.

// middleware we want to reuse
common := negroni.New()
common.Use(MyMiddleware1)
common.Use(MyMiddleware2)

// `specific` is a new negroni with the handlers from `common` combined with the
// the handlers passed in
specific := common.With(
	SpecificMiddleware1,
	SpecificMiddleware2
)

Run()

Negroni has a convenience function called Run. Run takes an addr string identical to http.ListenAndServe.

package main

import (
  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  n := negroni.Classic()
  n.Run(":8080")
}

If no address is provided, the PORT environment variable is used instead. If the PORT environment variable is not defined, the default address will be used. See Run for a complete description.

In general, you will want to use net/http methods and pass negroni as a Handler, as this is more flexible, e.g.:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "log"
  "net/http"
  "time"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
  })

  n := negroni.Classic() // Includes some default middlewares
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  s := &http.Server{
    Addr:           ":8080",
    Handler:        n,
    ReadTimeout:    10 * time.Second,
    WriteTimeout:   10 * time.Second,
    MaxHeaderBytes: 1 << 20,
  }
  log.Fatal(s.ListenAndServe())
}

Route Specific Middleware

If you have a route group of routes that need specific middleware to be executed, you can simply create a new Negroni instance and use it as your route handler.

router := mux.NewRouter()
adminRoutes := mux.NewRouter()
// add admin routes here

// Create a new negroni for the admin middleware
router.PathPrefix("/admin").Handler(negroni.New(
  Middleware1,
  Middleware2,
  negroni.Wrap(adminRoutes),
))

If you are using Gorilla Mux, here is an example using a subrouter:

router := mux.NewRouter()
subRouter := mux.NewRouter().PathPrefix("/subpath").Subrouter().StrictSlash(true)
subRouter.HandleFunc("/", someSubpathHandler) // "/subpath/"
subRouter.HandleFunc("/:id", someSubpathHandler) // "/subpath/:id"

// "/subpath" is necessary to ensure the subRouter and main router linkup
router.PathPrefix("/subpath").Handler(negroni.New(
  Middleware1,
  Middleware2,
  negroni.Wrap(subRouter),
))

With() can be used to eliminate redundancy for middlewares shared across routes.

router := mux.NewRouter()
apiRoutes := mux.NewRouter()
// add api routes here
webRoutes := mux.NewRouter()
// add web routes here

// create common middleware to be shared across routes
common := negroni.New(
	Middleware1,
	Middleware2,
)

// create a new negroni for the api middleware
// using the common middleware as a base
router.PathPrefix("/api").Handler(common.With(
  APIMiddleware1,
  negroni.Wrap(apiRoutes),
))
// create a new negroni for the web middleware
// using the common middleware as a base
router.PathPrefix("/web").Handler(common.With(
  WebMiddleware1,
  negroni.Wrap(webRoutes),
))

Bundled Middleware

Static

This middleware will serve files on the filesystem. If the files do not exist, it proxies the request to the next middleware. If you want the requests for non-existent files to return a 404 File Not Found to the user you should look at using http.FileServer as a handler.

Example:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
  })

  // Example of using a http.FileServer if you want "server-like" rather than "middleware" behavior
  // mux.Handle("/public", http.FileServer(http.Dir("/home/public")))

  n := negroni.New()
  n.Use(negroni.NewStatic(http.Dir("/tmp")))
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3002", n)
}

Will serve files from the /tmp directory first, but proxy calls to the next handler if the request does not match a file on the filesystem.

Recovery

This middleware catches panics and responds with a 500 response code. If any other middleware has written a response code or body, this middleware will fail to properly send a 500 to the client, as the client has already received the HTTP response code. Additionally, an PanicHandlerFunc can be attached to report 500's to an error reporting service such as Sentry or Airbrake.

Example:

package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    panic("oh no")
  })

  n := negroni.New()
  n.Use(negroni.NewRecovery())
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
}

Will return a 500 Internal Server Error to each request. It will also log the stack traces as well as print the stack trace to the requester if PrintStack is set to true (the default).

Example with error handler:

package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    panic("oh no")
  })

  n := negroni.New()
  recovery := negroni.NewRecovery()
  recovery.PanicHandlerFunc = reportToSentry
  n.Use(recovery)
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
}

func reportToSentry(info *negroni.PanicInformation) {
    // write code here to report error to Sentry
}

The middleware simply output the informations on STDOUT by default. You can customize the output process by using the SetFormatter() function.

You can use also the HTMLPanicFormatter to display a pretty HTML when a crash occurs.

package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    panic("oh no")
  })

  n := negroni.New()
  recovery := negroni.NewRecovery()
  recovery.Formatter = &negroni.HTMLPanicFormatter{}
  n.Use(recovery)
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
}

Logger

This middleware logs each incoming request and response.

Example:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"

  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
)

func main() {
  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
  })

  n := negroni.New()
  n.Use(negroni.NewLogger())
  n.UseHandler(mux)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3004", n)
}

Will print a log similar to:

[negroni] 2017-10-04T14:56:25+02:00 | 200 |      378µs | localhost:3004 | GET /

on each request.

You can also set your own log format by calling the SetFormat function. The format is a template string with fields as mentioned in the LoggerEntry struct. So, as an example -

l.SetFormat("[{{.Status}} {{.Duration}}] - {{.Request.UserAgent}}")

will show something like - [200 18.263µs] - Go-User-Agent/1.1

type Handler 

type Handler interface {
	ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)
}

Handler handler is an interface that objects can implement to be registered to serve as middleware in the Negroni middleware stack. ServeHTTP should yield to the next middleware in the chain by invoking the next http.HandlerFunc passed in.

If the Handler writes to the ResponseWriter, the next http.HandlerFunc should not be invoked.

func Wrap 

func Wrap(handler http.Handler) Handler

Wrap converts a http.Handler into a negroni.Handler so it can be used as a Negroni middleware. The next http.HandlerFunc is automatically called after the Handler is executed.

func WrapFunc

WrapFunc converts a http.HandlerFunc into a negroni.Handler so it can be used as a Negroni middleware. The next http.HandlerFunc is automatically called after the Handler is executed.

type HandlerFunc 

type HandlerFunc func(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)

HandlerFunc is an adapter to allow the use of ordinary functions as Negroni handlers. If f is a function with the appropriate signature, HandlerFunc(f) is a Handler object that calls f.

func (HandlerFunc) ServeHTTP 

func (h HandlerFunc) ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)

type Logger 

type Logger struct {
	// ALogger implements just enough log.Logger interface to be compatible with other implementations

func (*Negroni) ServeHTTP 

func (n *Negroni) ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)

func (*Negroni) Use 

func (n *Negroni) Use(handler Handler)

Use adds a Handler onto the middleware stack. Handlers are invoked in the order they are added to a Negroni.

func (n *Negroni) UseFunc(handlerFunc func(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc))

UseFunc adds a Negroni-style handler function onto the middleware stack.

func (*Negroni) UseHandler 

func (n *Negroni) UseHandler(handler http.Handler)

UseHandler adds a http.Handler onto the middleware stack. Handlers are invoked in the order they are added to a Negroni.

func (*Negroni) UseHandlerFunc 

func (n *Negroni) UseHandlerFunc(handlerFunc func(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request))

UseHandlerFunc adds a http.HandlerFunc-style handler function onto the middleware stack.

func (*Negroni) With 

func (n *Negroni) With(handlers ...Handler) *Negroni

With returns a new Negroni instance that is a combination of the negroni receiver's handlers and the provided handlers.

type PanicFormatter 

type PanicFormatter interface {
	// FormatPanicError output the stack for a given answer/response.
	// In case the the middleware should not output the stack trace,
	// the field `Stack` of the passed `PanicInformation` instance equals `[]byte{}`.

type ResponseWriter 

type ResponseWriter interface {
	http.ResponseWriter
	http.Flusher
	// Status returns the status code of the response or 0 if the response has
	// not been written
	Status() int
	// Written returns whether or not the ResponseWriter has been written.
	Written() bool
	// Size returns the size of the response body.
	Size() int
	// Before allows for a function to be called before the ResponseWriter has been written to. This is
	// useful for setting headers or any other operations that must happen before a response has been written.
	Before(func(ResponseWriter))
}

ResponseWriter is a wrapper around http.ResponseWriter that provides extra information about the response. It is recommended that middleware handlers use this construct to wrap a responsewriter if the functionality calls for it.

func NewResponseWriter

NewResponseWriter creates a ResponseWriter that wraps an http.ResponseWriter

type TextPanicFormatter 

type TextPanicFormatter struct{}

TextPanicFormatter output the stack as simple text on os.Stdout. If no `Content-Type` is set, it will output the data as `text/plain; charset=utf-8`. Otherwise, the origin `Content-Type` is kept.
