gearbox

README

gearbox ⚙ is a web framework for building micro services written in Go with a focus on high performance. It's built on fasthttp which is up to 10x faster than net/http

gearbox seeks to be

• Secure 🔐
• Fast 🚀
• Easy to use 👓
• Lightweight

Supported Go versions & installation

⚙ gearbox requires version 1.11 or higher of Go (Download Go)

Just use go get to download and install gearbox

go get -u github.com/gogearbox/gearbox

Examples

package main

import (
	"github.com/gogearbox/gearbox"
)

func main() {
	// Setup gearbox
	gb := gearbox.New()

	// Define your handlers
	gb.Get("/hello", func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
		ctx.SendString("Hello World!")
	})

	// Start service
	gb.Start(":3000")
}

Parameters

package main

import (
	"github.com/gogearbox/gearbox"
)

func main() {
	// Setup gearbox
	gb := gearbox.New()

	// Handler with parameter
	gb.Get("/users/:user", func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
		ctx.SendString(ctx.Param("user"))
	})

	// Start service
	gb.Start(":3000")
}

Middlewares

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/gogearbox/gearbox"
)

func main() {
	// Setup gearbox
	gb := gearbox.New()

	// create a logger middleware
	logMiddleware := func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
		log.Printf("log message!")

		// Next is what allows the request to continue to the next
		// middleware/handler
		ctx.Next()
	}

	// create an unauthorized middleware
	unAuthorizedMiddleware := func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
		ctx.Status(gearbox.StatusUnauthorized)
			.SendString("You are unauthorized to access this page!")
	}

	// Register the log middleware for all requests
	gb.Use(logMiddleware)

	// Define your handlers
	gb.Get("/hello", func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
		ctx.SendString("Hello World!")
	})

	// Register the routes to be used when grouping routes
	routes := []*gearbox.Route{
		gb.Get("/id", func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
			ctx.SendString("User X")
		}),
		gb.Delete("/id", func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
			ctx.SendString("Deleted")
		}),
	}

	// Group account routes
	accountRoutes := gb.Group("/account", routes)

	// Group account routes to be under api
	gb.Group("/api", accountRoutes)

	// Define a route with unAuthorizedMiddleware as the middleware
	// you can define as many middlewares as you want and have
	// the handler as the last argument
	gb.Get("/protected", unAuthorizedMiddleware, func(ctx gearbox.Context) {
		ctx.SendString("You accessed a protected page")
	})

	// Start service
	gb.Start(":3000")
}

Static Files

package main

import (
	"github.com/gogearbox/gearbox"
)

func main() {
	// Setup gearbox
	gb := gearbox.New()

	// Serve files in assets directory for prefix static
	// for example /static/gearbox.png, etc.
	gb.Static("/static", "./assets")

	// Start service
	gb.Start(":3000")
}

Functions

func GetString

func GetString(b []byte) string

GetString gets the content of a string as a []byte without copying #nosec G103

Example

ExampleGetString tests converting []byte to string

b := []byte("ABC€")
str := GetString(b)
fmt.Println(str)
fmt.Println(len(b) == len(str))

b = []byte("مستخدم")
str = GetString(b)
fmt.Println(str)
fmt.Println(len(b) == len(str))

b = nil
str = GetString(b)
fmt.Println(str)
fmt.Println(len(b) == len(str))
fmt.Println(len(str))

Output:

ABC€
true
مستخدم
true

true
0
