GOFre - A Sweet Web Framework for Go

GOFree[^1] is a fast and low memory consumption web framework for Go, without third-party dependencies, that makes the development of web applications a joy. GOFre integrates with http.Server and supports the standard Go HTTP handlers: http.Handler and http.HandlerFunc.

This framework was developed around simplicity of usage, extensibility and low memory consumption and offers the following features:

• Path pattern matching - including regex, path variable extraction and validation
• Middleware - pre and post request interceptors
• Templating - including static resources
• Authentication - OAUTH2 flow included for GitHub and Google
• Authorization - RBAC implementation
• SSE (Server Sent-Events)
• Security - CSRF Middleware protection

Installation

You can install this repo with go get:

go get github.com/ixtendio/gofre

Usage

gofreMux, err := gofre.NewMuxHandlerWithDefaultConfig()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed to create GOFre mux handler, err: %v", err)
}

// JSON with vars path
gofreMux.HandleGet("/hello/{firstName}/{lastName}", func(ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
    return response.JsonHttpResponseOK(map[string]string{
        "firstName": mc.PathVar("firstName"),
        "lastName":   mc.PathVar("lastName"),
    }), nil
})

httpServer := http.Server{
    Addr:              ":8080",
    Handler:           gofreMux,
}
if err := httpServer.ListenAndServe(); err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed starting the HTTP server, err: %v", err)
}

To see the response, execute:

curl -vvv "https://localhost:8080/hello/John/Doe"

Architecture Overview

GOFre has the following components:

• MatchingContext - an object that encapsulates the initial http.Request and the path variables, if exists
• HttpResponse - an object that encapsulates the response and knows how to write it back to the client
• Handler - a function that receives a Context and an HttpRequest and returns an HttpResponse or an error
• Middleware - a function that receives a Handler and returns another Handler
• Router - an object that knows how to parse the http.Request and to route it to the corresponding Handler

Path Pattern Matching

GOFre supports a complex path matching where the most specific pattern is chosen first.

Supported path patterns matching:

1. exact matching - /a/b/c
2. capture variable without constraints
   1. /a/{b}/{c}
      1. /a/john/doe => b: john, c: doe
3. capture variable with constraints
   1. /a/{uuid:^[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-4[a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[8|9|aA|bB][a-fA-F0-9]{3}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}$} - UUID matching
      1. /a/zyw3040f-0f1c-4e98-b71c-d3cd61213f90 => false (z, x and w are not part of UUID regex)
      2. /a/fbd3040f-0f1c-4e98-b71c-d3cd61213f90 => true
   2. /a/{number:^[0-9]{3}$} - number with 3 digits
      1. /a/12 => false
      2. /a/123 => true
      3. /a/012 => true
      4. /a/0124 => false
4. literal match regex
   1. * - matches any number of characters or a single segment path
      1. /a/abc*hij
         1. /a/abcdhij => true
         2. /a/abcdefghij => true 3/a/abcdefgij => false (the path doesn't end with hij)
      2. /a/*/c
         1. /a/b/c => true
         2. /a/b/c/c => false (a maximum of 3 path segments is allowed and we have 4)
      3. /a/abc*hij/*
         1. /a/abcdefghij/abc => true
         2. /a/abcdefghij/abc/xyz => false (* matches a single path segment and we have 2 abc/xyz)
   2. ? - matches a single character
      1. /a/abc?hij
         1. /a/abcdhij => true
         2. /a/abcdehij => false (the character e will not match)
5. greedy match
   1. ** - matches multiple path segments
      1. /a/**/z
         1. /a/b/c/d/e/f/z => true
         2. /a/b/c/d/e/f => false (the path should end in /z)
      2. /a/**
         1. /a/b/c/d/e/f => true

Compared to other libraries, GOFre does not require you to declare the path patterns in a specific order so that the match can work as you expect. Because of the greedy match, which introduced complexity in path matching algorithm, in order to sort the patterns from the most specific to most generic, maximum 19 request path segments are accepted. ( for example, www.domain.com/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/)

For example, these path matching patterns (assuming we handle only GET requests) can be declared in any order in your code:

1. /users/john/{lastName}
2. /users/john/doe
3. /users/*/doe
4. /users/**

Here are some URL's example with their matched pattern:

• https://www.website.com/users/john/doe - the second pattern will match
• https://www.website.com/users/john/wick - the first pattern will match, where the lastName will be wick
• https://www.website.com/users/jane/doe - the third pattern will match
• https://www.website.com/users/john/jane/doe - the forth pattern will match

GOFre also includes support for greedy path matching: **

• /users/**/doe - matches any path that starts with /users and ends with /doe
• /users/** - matches any path that starts with /users

The path matching can be case-sensitive (default) or case-insensitive.

If two path patterns of the same type that match the same URL are registered, then the framework will panic. For example:

• /a/{b}
• /a/{d}

Moreover, the following two patterns are accepted by the framework although the second one will never be executed. (This is a limitation of the path matching that might be solved in future releases.)

• /a/{b}
• /a/*

Middlewares

A middleware is a function that intercepts a request. The function receives a Handler as an argument and returns another Handler.

There are two ways to register the middlewares:

• common registration - applied to all handlers
• per handler registration - applied for a single handler only

Example:

gofreMux.CommonMiddlewares(func(handler handler.Handler) handler.Handler {
  return func(ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
      log.Println("Common middleware 1 - before processing the request")
      resp, err := handler(ctx, mc)
      log.Println("Common middleware 1 - after processing the request")
      return resp, err
  }
}, func(handler handler.Handler) handler.Handler {
  return func(ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
      log.Println("Common middleware 2 - before processing the request")
      resp, err := handler(ctx, mc)
      log.Println("Common middleware 2 - after processing the request")
      return resp, err
  }
})

gofreMux.HandleGet("/handlers", func(ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
  log.Println("Request handling")
  return response.PlainTextHttpResponseOK("ok"), nil
}, func(handler handler.Handler) handler.Handler {
  return func(ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
      log.Println("Custom middleware 1 - before processing the request")
      resp, err := handler(ctx, mc)
      log.Println("Custom middleware 1 - after processing the request")
      return resp, err
  }
}, func(handler handler.Handler) handler.Handler {
  return func(ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
      log.Println("Custom middleware 2 - before processing the request")
      resp, err := handler(ctx, mc)
      log.Println("Custom middleware 2 - after processing the request")
      return resp, err
  }
})

If we execute curl -vvv "https://localhost:8080/handlers", we should see the following lines in the console:

Common middleware 1 - before processing the request
Common middleware 2 - before processing the request
Custom middleware 1 - before processing the request
Custom middleware 2 - before processing the request
Request handling
Custom middleware 2 - after processing the request
Custom middleware 1 - after processing the request
Common middleware 2 - after processing the request
Common middleware 1 - after processing the request

The middleware package includes the following implementations:

• PanicRecover - handles the panic and convert it to an error
• ErrResponse - converts an error to an HTTP answer
• CSRFPrevention - provides basic CSRF protection for a web application
• Cors - enable client-side cross-origin requests by implementing W3C's CORS
• CompressResponse - enable compression for HTTP response as long as the client accept it
• AuthorizeAll, AuthorizeAny - provides basic RBAC authorization (authentication is required in this case)
• SecurityPrincipalSupplier - provides an auth.SecurityPrincipal supplier callback
• RequestDumper - dumps the request (before processing) and the corresponding response in JSON format

Data Sharing Between Middlewares

A middleware can share data with the next one in the chain using the request context.Context. The context has two purposes:

1. to notify when the client close the TCP connection or when some request timeouts occurred
2. to share key-value data

Looking at this example:

gofreMux.HandleGet("/security/authorize/{permission}", func (ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
        return response.JsonHttpResponseOK(map[string]string{"authorized": "true"}), nil
    }, func (handler handler.Handler) handler.Handler {
        // authentication middleware
        return func (ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (resp response.HttpResponse, err error) {
            permission, err := auth.ParsePermission("domain/subdomain/resource:" + mc.PathVar("permission"))
            if err != nil {
                return nil, err
            }
            ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, auth.SecurityPrincipalCtxKey, auth.User{
                Groups: []auth.Group{{
                    Roles: []auth.Role{{
                        AllowedPermissions: []auth.Permission{permission},
                    }},
                }},
            })
            return handler(ctx, mc)
        }
    }, middleware.AuthorizeAll(auth.Permission{Scope: "domain/subdomain/resource", Access: auth.AccessDelete}))

we see how the authentication middleware wraps the authenticated user in the context using context.WithValue so that the next middleware, in our case AuthorizeAll, can use it.

Sub-Routing

In some cases it might be necessary to create a shallow clone of a mux handler. To do this the following two methods can be used:

1. Clone - creates a new MuxHandler that will inherit all the settings from the parent
2. RouteUsingPathPrefix - creates a new MuxHandler that will inherit all the settings from the parent, excepting the path prefix which will be concatenated to the parent path prefix

An important aspect to these methods is that, the new common middlewares added to the new MuxHandler will not be shared with the parent.

Use-Cases for Clone

gofreMux = gofre.NewMuxHandlerWithDefaultConfig()
gofreMux.Clone().HandleGet("/health", healthHandler)
// the common middlewares will not be applied to the /health endpoint
gofreMux.CommonMiddlewares(...)
gofreMux.HandleGet("/api1", api1Handler)
gofreMux.HandleGet("/api2", api2Handler)

Use-Cases for RouteUsingPathPrefix

gofreMux = gofre.NewMuxHandlerWithDefaultConfig()
gofreMux.CommonMiddlewares(...)

// we create a usersMux that will handle all the request with path prefix /users (examples: GET:/users, GET:/users/{userId}, POST:/users/{userId})
usersMux = gofreMux.RouteUsingPathPrefix("/users")
usersMux.CommonMiddlewares(...)
usersMux.HandlePost("/{userId}", createUserHandler)
usersMux.HandleGet("/{userId}", getUserHandler)
usersMux.HandleGet("", getAllUsersHandler)

Templating and Static Resources

GOFre can be configured to serve GO HTML templates and static resources. This can be done through a configuration object passed at instantiation:

gofreConfig := &gofre.Config{
        CaseInsensitivePathMatch: false,
        ContextPath:              "/",
        ResourcesConfig: &gofre.ResourcesConfig{
        TemplatesPathPattern: "examples/resources/templates/*.html",
        AssetsDirPath:        "./examples/resources/assets",
        AssetsMappingPath:    "assets",
    },
    ErrLogFunc: func (err error) {
        log.Printf("An error occurred: %v", err)
    },
}

By default ResourcesConfig is nil, meaning that the framework will not support templating or static resources.

You can customize the template path pattern, the assets dir path and the assets mapping path if you want. If not, then the default values will be applied. For example:

resourcesConfig := gofre.NewDefaultResourcesConfig()

is equivalent to:

resourcesConfig := &gofre.ResourcesConfig{
    TemplatesPathPattern: "resources/templates/*.html",
    AssetsDirPath:        "./resources/assets",
    AssetsMappingPath:    "assets",
    Template:             *template.Template
}

An endpoint that returns an HTML template can be specified in this way:

gofreMux.HandleGet("/", func (ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
    templateData := struct{}{}
    return response.TemplateHttpResponseOK(gofreMux.ExecutableTemplate(), "index.html", templateData), nil
})

In case you want to use only static resources, without templating then, you can use response.NilTemplate as follows:

resourcesConfig := &gofre.ResourcesConfig{
    Template: response.NilTemplate{}
}

The rest of the config fields will be initialized with the default values at MuxHandler creation.

Authorization

GOFre provides an RBAC implementation for user authorization. The following objects are available:

• auth.SecurityPrincipal - represents any managed identity that is requesting access to a resource (a user, a service principal, etc.)
• auth.Permission - a permission has:
  • Scope - describes where an action can be performed. A scope might have a maximum of 3 levels (domain, subdomain and resource) separated by a separator (default /). The levels can be specific or generic: *. Scopes should be structured in a parent-child relationship. Each level of the hierarchy makes the scope more specific.
  • Access - specifies what actions can be applied to a resource like: view, create, update, delete, etc.
• Role - a collection of allowed and denied permissions. The denied permissions check has a higher priority than the allowed one.
• User - implements auth.SecurityPrincipal and represents an authenticated person.

For example, a user with this permission:

auth.Permission{
    Scope: "admin/timesheet/team1",
    Access: auth.AccessCreate | auth.AccessApprove
}

will be allowed to create and approve any timesheet for team1 using the admin dashboard

while this permission:

auth.Permission{
    Scope: "admin/timesheet/*",
    Access: auth.AccessCreate | auth.AccessApprove
}

gives access to create and approve any timesheet for any team using the admin dashboard.

The definition of the permissions scopes is application-specific.

Authentication

The authorization works as long as an auth.SecurityPrincipal exists on the request context.Context.

For user authentication, the framework provides the OAUTH2 flow integration with:

• GitHub
• Google

The authenticated user roles are out of this scope.

The following code enables the OAUTH2 flow:

// OAUTH2 flow with user details extraction
gofreMux.HandleOAUTH2(oauth.Config{
    WebsiteUrl:       "https://www.domain.com",
    FetchUserDetails: true,
    Providers: []oauth.Provider{
        oauth.GitHubProvider{
        ClientId:     os.Getenv("GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"),
        ClientSecret: os.Getenv("GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    },
    oauth.GoogleProvider{
        ClientId:     os.Getenv("GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID"),
        ClientSecret: os.Getenv("GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET"),
        Scopes:       []string{"openid"},
    }},
    CacheConfig: oauth.CacheConfig{
        Cache:             cache.NewInMemory(),
        KeyExpirationTime: 1 * time.Minute,
    },
}, func (ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
    accessToken := oauth.GetAccessTokenFromContext(ctx)
    securityPrincipal := auth.GetSecurityPrincipalFromContext(ctx)
    //todo here you have to enrich the securityPrincipal with the roles from the database and to add it again on the context
})

Custom Authentication

GOFre provides a middleware: middleware.SecurityPrincipalSupplier that allows you to load a custom auth.SecurityPrincipal. The returned security principal will be added on the context.Context to be shared with the next middlewares.

middleware.SecurityPrincipalSupplier(func (ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (auth.SecurityPrincipal, error) {
    sp, err := //load the SecurityPrincipal from JWT token, Database, Cookies, etc
    return sp, err
})

Note

This example uses a cache in memory which works as long as you have a single server running, or if you use sticky session on your Load Balancer, in case of multiple running servers.

SSE (Server Sent-Events)

The Server Sent-Events is a web technology over HTTP2 (supported also by HTTP1 with limitations) that makes it possible for a server to send new data to a web page at any time by pushing messages. The difference between SSE and Web-Sockets are:

• SSE is unidirectional (server to client) while web-sockets is bidirectional
• SSE supports only text data while web-sockets supports binary data
• all popular browsers natively support SSE, including automatic reconnection when the connection is lost

Example of pushing a new message per second to the client:

gofreMux, _ := gofre.NewMuxHandlerWithDefaultConfig()

gofreMux.HandleGet("/sse", func (ctx context.Context, mc path.MatchingContext) (response.HttpResponse, error) {
    return response.SSEHttpResponse(func (ctx context.Context, lastEventId string) <-chan response.ServerSentEvent {
        ch := make(chan response.ServerSentEvent)
        go func () {
            ticker := time.NewTicker(1 * time.Second)
            defer ticker.Stop()
            defer close(ch)
            var id int
            for {
                select {
                    case <-ctx.Done():
                        return
                    case <-ticker.C:
                        ch <- response.ServerSentEvent{
                            Name:  "message",
                            Id:    "msg_" + strconv.Itoa(id),
                            Data:  []string{"message " + strconv.Itoa(id)},
                            Retry: 0,
                        }
                        id++
                }
            }
        }()
    
        return ch
    }), nil
})

httpServer := http.Server{
    Addr:              ":8080",
    Handler:           gofreMux,
    WriteTimeout:      5 * time.Minute, //this long timeout it's necessary for SSE
}

if err := httpServer.ListenAndServeTLS("./examples/certs/key.crt", "./examples/certs/key.key"); err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed to start the server, err: %v", err)
}

The HTTP server WriteTimeout should be big enough to avoid client reconnection. Anyway, major popular browsers support automatic reconnection.

Note

SSE works only over TLS

Performance

The framework was tested using the following use-cases:

1. serving static resources
2. serving URL's with path variables
3. serving concurrent requests

and these are the results:

goos: darwin
cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4980HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
Benchmark_GofreStatic-8                  	 3324294	       353.6 ns/op	      64 B/op	       1 allocs/op
Benchmark_GofreVarCapture-8              	 2742657	       438.4 ns/op	      64 B/op	       1 allocs/op
Benchmark_GofreVarCapture_Concurrent-8   	 5540001	       207.5 ns/op	      70 B/op	       1 allocs/op

Performance comparison with other frameworks

The benchmark was executed on MacOS Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4980HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz

Run the Examples

A list with all examples can be found in the examples folder. To start the local server, execute:

1. cd examples
2. build and start the web server
   1. For MacOS make run-osx
   2. For Linux make run

In the browser, open the following URL: https://locahost:8080

Note

To run the OAUTH2 flows you need to create the OAUTH apps on GitHub & Google and to expose the clientId and the clientSecret as environment variables:

GitHub: GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

Google: GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	//if the path match should be case-sensitive or not. Default false
	CaseInsensitivePathMatch bool
	//the application context path. Default: "/"
	ContextPath string
	//the ResourcesConfig if the application supports static resources and templates. Default: nil
	ResourcesConfig *ResourcesConfig
	//a log function for critical errors. Default: defaultErrLogFunc
	ErrLogFunc func(err error)
}

A Config is a type used to pass the configuration to the MuxHandler

type MuxHandler

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

MuxHandler implements http.Handler that serves the HTTP requests

func NewMuxHandler

func NewMuxHandler(config *Config) (*MuxHandler, error)

NewMuxHandler creates a new MuxHandler instance

NewMuxHandlerWithDefaultConfigAndTemplateSupport returns a new MuxHandler using a default configuration with static resources and HTML templating support

func (*MuxHandler) Clone

func (m *MuxHandler) Clone() *MuxHandler

Clone creates a new MuxHandler that will inherit all the settings from the parent. One important aspect to the new MuxHandler is that, the new added common middlewares will not be shared with the parent.

func (*MuxHandler) CommonMiddlewares

func (m *MuxHandler) CommonMiddlewares(middlewares ...middleware.Middleware)

CommonMiddlewares registers middlewares that will be applied for all handlers

func (*MuxHandler) Config

func (m *MuxHandler) Config() Config

Config returns a Config copy

func (MuxHandler) EnableDebugEndpoints

func (m MuxHandler) EnableDebugEndpoints()

EnableDebugEndpoints enable debug endpoints

func (*MuxHandler) ExecutableTemplate

ExecutableTemplate returns the response.ExecutableTemplate from ResourcesConfig or nil

func (*MuxHandler) HandleDelete

func (m *MuxHandler) HandleDelete(path string, handler handler.Handler, middlewares ...middleware.Middleware)

HandleDelete registers a handler with custom middlewares for DELETE requests

func (*MuxHandler) HandleGet

func (m *MuxHandler) HandleGet(path string, handler handler.Handler, middlewares ...middleware.Middleware)

HandleGet registers a handler with custom middlewares for GET requests

func (*MuxHandler) HandleOAUTH2

func (m *MuxHandler) HandleOAUTH2(oauthConfig oauth.Config, handler handler.Handler, initiateMiddlewares []middleware.Middleware, authorizeMiddlewares []middleware.Middleware)

HandleOAUTH2 registers the necessary handlers to initiate and complete the OAUTH2 flow

this method registers two endpoints: 1. GET: /oauth/initiate - initiate the OAUTH2 flow using a provider. If multiple providers are passed in the oauth.Config, then the parameter `provider` should be specified in the query string (example: /oauth/initiate?provider=github) 2. GET: /oauth/authorize/{provider} - (the redirect URI) exchange the authorization code for a JWT. The provider value is the name of the OAUTH2 provider (example: /oauth/authorize/github )

If the OAUTH2 flow successfully completes, then the oauth.AccessToken will be passed to context.Context to extract it, you have to use the method oauth.GetAccessTokenFromContext(context.Context)

func (*MuxHandler) HandleOAUTH2WithCustomPaths

func (m *MuxHandler) HandleOAUTH2WithCustomPaths(initiatePath string,
	authorizeBasePath string,
	oauthConfig oauth.Config,
	handler handler.Handler,
