Overview

The Tideland Go REST Server Library provides the package rest for the implementation of servers with a RESTful API. The business has to be implemented in types fullfilling the ResourceHandler interface. This basic interface only allows the initialization of the handler. More interesting are the other interfaces like GetResourceHandler which defines the Get() method for the HTTP request method GET. Others are for PUT, POST, HEAD, PATCH, DELETE, and OPTIONS. Their according methods get a Job as argument. It provides convenient helpers for the processing of the job. 

type myHandler struct {
    id string
}

func NewMyHandler(id string) rest.ResourceHandler {
    return &myHandler{id}
}

func (h *myHandler) ID() string {
    return h.id
}

func (h *myHandler) Init(env rest.Environment, domain, resource string) error {
    // Nothing to do in this example.
    return nil
}

// Get handles reading of resources, here simplified w/o
// error handling.
func (h *myHandler) Get(job rest.Job) (bool, error) {
    id := job.ResourceID()
    if id == "" {
       all := model.GetAllData()
       job.JSON(true).Write(all)
       return true, nil
    }
    one := model.GetOneData(id)
    job.JSON(true).Write(one)
    return true, nil
}

The processing methods return two values: a boolean and an error. The latter is pretty clear, it signals a job processing error. The boolean is more interesting. Registering a handler is based on a domain and a resource. The URL 

/<DOMAIN>/<RESOURCE>

leads to a handler, or even better, to a list of handlers. All are used as long as the returned boolean value is true. E.g. the first handler can check the authentication, the second one the authorization, and the third one does the business. Additionally the URL 

/<DOMAIN>/<RESOURCE>/<ID>

provides the resource identifier via Job.ResourceID().

The handlers then are deployed to the Multiplexer which implements the Handler interface of the net/http package. So the typical order is 

mux := rest.NewMultiplexer(ctx, cfg)

to start the multiplexer with a given context and the configuration for the multiplexer. The configuration is using the Tideland Go Library etc.Etc, parameters can be found at the NewMultiplexer documentation. After creating the multiplexer call 

mux.Register("domain", "resource-type-a", NewTypeAHandler("foo"))
mux.Register("domain", "resource-type-b", NewTypeBHandler("bar"))
mux.Register("admin", "user", NewUserManagementHandler())

to register the handlers per domain and resource. The server then can be started by the standard 

http.ListenAndServe(":8000", mux)

Additionally further handlers can be registered or running ones removed during the runtime.
