HTTP server

Environment based configuration

• ADDR
  • Address golang listen address in the Dial format
• PORT default: 3000
  • Port to be used for listening used if address is not specified
• ENVIRONMENT default: edge
  • Name of the current environment
• MAX_HEADER_BYTES default: 1048576 (1 MB)
  • MaxHeaderBytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will read parsing the request header's keys and values, including the request line. It does not limit the size of the request body. If zero, DefaultMaxHeaderBytes is used.
• IDLE_TIMEOUT default: 1h
  • IdleTimeout is the maximum amount of time to wait for the next request when keep-alives are enabled. If IdleTimeout is zero, the value of ReadTimeout is used. If both are zero, ReadHeaderTimeout is used.
  • Everything that can be parsed by ParseDuration
• READ_TIMEOUT default: 60s
  • ReadHeaderTimeout is the amount of time allowed to read request headers. The connection's read deadline is reset after reading the headers and the Handler can decide what is considered too slow for the body.
  • Everything that can be parsed by ParseDuration
• WRITE_TIMEOUT default: 60s
  • WriteTimeout is the maximum duration before timing out writes of the response. It is reset whenever a new request's header is read. Like ReadTimeout, it does not let Handlers make decisions on a per-request basis.
  • Everything that can be parsed by ParseDuration

Functions

func Environment

func Environment() string

Environment returns the name of the current server environment

func JsonApiErrorWriterMiddleware

func JsonApiErrorWriterMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler

JsonApiErrorWriterMiddleware is a middleware that wraps http.ResponseWriter such that it forces responses with status codes 4xx/5xx to have Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json

func Router

func Router() *mux.Router

Router returns the default microservice endpoints for health, metrics and debugging

func Server

func Server(handler http.Handler) *http.Server

Server returns a http.Server configured using environment variables, following https://12factor.net/.
