Constants ¶
const ( // NoWritten !=-1 => when nothing written before NoWritten = -1 // StatusCodeWritten != 0 => when only status code written StatusCodeWritten = 0 )
const (
// NoLayout to disable layout for a particular template file
NoLayout = "iris.nolayout"
)
Variables ¶
var ErrPushNotSupported = errors.New("push feature is not supported by this ResponseWriter")
ErrPushNotSupported is returned by the Push method to indicate that HTTP/2 Push support is not available.
var Gzip = func(ctx Context) { ctx.Gzip(true) ctx.Next() }
Gzip is a middleware which enables writing using gzip compression, if client supports.
var LimitRequestBodySize = func(maxRequestBodySizeBytes int64) Handler { return func(ctx Context) { ctx.SetMaxRequestBodySize(maxRequestBodySizeBytes) ctx.Next() } }
LimitRequestBodySize is a middleware which sets a request body size limit for all next handlers in the chain.
var Recorder = func(ctx Context) {
ctx.Record()
ctx.Next()
}
Recorder the middleware to enable response writer recording ( ResponseWriter -> ResponseRecorder)
var RequestTransactionScope = TransactionScopeFunc(func(maybeErr TransactionErrResult, ctx Context) bool { if maybeErr.IsFailure() { ctx.ResponseWriter().SetBeforeFlush(func() { w := ctx.ResponseWriter().(*ResponseRecorder) if maybeErr.Reason != "" { w.SetBodyString(maybeErr.Reason) w.WriteHeader(maybeErr.StatusCode) ctx.ContentType(maybeErr.ContentType) } else { ctx.StatusCode(maybeErr.StatusCode) ctx.StopExecution() } }) return false } return true })
RequestTransactionScope explanation:
if scope fails (if transaction.IsFailure() == true) then the rest of the context's response (transaction or normal flow) is not written to the client, and an error status code is written instead.
var ( // SetCookieKVExpiration is 2 hours by-default // you can change it or simple, use the SetCookie for more control. SetCookieKVExpiration = time.Duration(120) * time.Minute )
var ( // StaticCacheDuration expiration duration for INACTIVE file handlers, it's the only one global configuration // which can be changed. StaticCacheDuration = 20 * time.Second )
var TransientTransactionScope = TransactionScopeFunc(func(maybeErr TransactionErrResult, ctx Context) bool { if maybeErr.IsFailure() { ctx.Recorder().Reset() } return true })
TransientTransactionScope explanation:
independent 'silent' scope, if transaction fails (if transaction.IsFailure() == true) then its response is not written to the real context no error is provided to the user. useful for the most cases.
Functions ¶
func DecodeQuery ¶
DecodeQuery returns the uri parameter as url (string) useful when you want to pass something to a database and be valid to retrieve it via context.Param use it only for special cases, when the default behavior doesn't suits you.
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm it uses just the url.QueryUnescape
func DecodeURL ¶
DecodeURL returns the decoded uri useful when you want to pass something to a database and be valid to retrieve it via context.Param use it only for special cases, when the default behavior doesn't suits you.
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm it uses just the url.Parse
func Do ¶
Do calls the SetHandlers(handlers) and executes the first handler, handlers should not be empty.
It's used by the router, developers may use that to replace and execute handlers immediately.
func Next ¶
func Next(ctx Context)
Next calls all the next handler from the handlers chain, it should be used inside a middleware.
func WriteJSON ¶
func WriteJSON(writer io.Writer, v interface{}, options JSON, enableOptimization ...bool) (int, error)
WriteJSON marshals the given interface object and writes the JSON response to the 'writer'. Ignores StatusCode, Gzip, StreamingJSON options.
func WriteJSONP ¶
func WriteJSONP(writer io.Writer, v interface{}, options JSONP, enableOptimization ...bool) (int, error)
WriteJSONP marshals the given interface object and writes the JSON response to the writer.
func WriteMarkdown ¶
WriteMarkdown parses the markdown to html and renders these contents to the writer.
Types ¶
type Application ¶
type Application interface { // ConfigurationReadOnly returns all the available configuration values can be used on a request. ConfigurationReadOnly() ConfigurationReadOnly // Logger returns the golog logger instance(pointer) that is being used inside the "app". Logger() *golog.Logger // View executes and write the result of a template file to the writer. // // Use context.View to render templates to the client instead. // Returns an error on failure, otherwise nil. View(writer io.Writer, filename string, layout string, bindingData interface{}) error // ServeHTTPC is the internal router, it's visible because it can be used for advanced use cases, // i.e: routing within a foreign context. // // It is ready to use after Build state. ServeHTTPC(ctx Context) // ServeHTTP is the main router handler which calls the .Serve and acquires a new context from the pool. // // It is ready to use after Build state. ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) // GetRouteReadOnly returns the registered "read-only" route based on its name, otherwise nil. // One note: "routeName" should be case-sensitive. Used by the context to get the current route. // It returns an interface instead to reduce wrong usage and to keep the decoupled design between // the context and the routes. // // Look core/router/APIBuilder#GetRoute for more. GetRouteReadOnly(routeName string) RouteReadOnly // FireErrorCode executes an error http status code handler // based on the context's status code. // // If a handler is not already registered, // then it creates & registers a new trivial handler on the-fly. FireErrorCode(ctx Context) }
Application is the context's owner. This interface contains the functions that can be used with safety inside a Handler by `context.Application()`.
type BodyDecoder ¶
BodyDecoder is an interface which any struct can implement in order to customize the decode action from ReadJSON and ReadXML
Trivial example of this could be: type User struct { Username string }
func (u *User) Decode(data []byte) error { return json.Unmarshal(data, u) }
the 'context.ReadJSON/ReadXML(&User{})' will call the User's Decode option to decode the request body
Note: This is totally optionally, the default decoders for ReadJSON is the encoding/json and for ReadXML is the encoding/xml.
type ConfigurationReadOnly ¶
type ConfigurationReadOnly interface { // GetVHost returns the non-exported vhost config field. // // If original addr ended with :443 or :80, it will return the host without the port. // If original addr was :https or :http, it will return localhost. // If original addr was 0.0.0.0, it will return localhost. GetVHost() string // GetDisablePathCorrection returns the configuration.DisablePathCorrection, // DisablePathCorrection corrects and redirects the requested path to the registered path // for example, if /home/ path is requested but no handler for this Route found, // then the Router checks if /home handler exists, if yes, // (permant)redirects the client to the correct path /home. GetDisablePathCorrection() bool // GetEnablePathEscape is the configuration.EnablePathEscape, // returns true when its escapes the path, the named parameters (if any). GetEnablePathEscape() bool // GetEnableOptimizations returns whether // the application has performance optimizations enabled. GetEnableOptimizations() bool // GetFireMethodNotAllowed returns the configuration.FireMethodNotAllowed. GetFireMethodNotAllowed() bool // GetDisableBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal returns the configuration.GetDisableBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal, // manages the reading behavior of the context's body readers/binders. // If returns true then the body consumption by the `context.UnmarshalBody/ReadJSON/ReadXML` // is disabled. // // By-default io.ReadAll` is used to read the body from the `context.Request.Body which is an `io.ReadCloser`, // if this field setted to true then a new buffer will be created to read from and the request body. // The body will not be changed and existing data before the // context.UnmarshalBody/ReadJSON/ReadXML will be not consumed. GetDisableBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal() bool // GetDisableAutoFireStatusCode returns the configuration.DisableAutoFireStatusCode. // Returns true when the http error status code handler automatic execution turned off. GetDisableAutoFireStatusCode() bool // GetTimeFormat returns the configuration.TimeFormat, // format for any kind of datetime parsing. GetTimeFormat() string // GetCharset returns the configuration.Charset, // the character encoding for various rendering // used for templates and the rest of the responses. GetCharset() string // GetTranslateLanguageContextKey returns the configuration's TranslateFunctionContextKey value, // used for i18n. GetTranslateFunctionContextKey() string // GetTranslateLanguageContextKey returns the configuration's TranslateLanguageContextKey value, // used for i18n. GetTranslateLanguageContextKey() string // GetViewLayoutContextKey returns the key of the context's user values' key // which is being used to set the template // layout from a middleware or the main handler. // Overrides the parent's or the configuration's. GetViewLayoutContextKey() string // GetViewDataContextKey returns the key of the context's user values' key // which is being used to set the template // binding data from a middleware or the main handler. GetViewDataContextKey() string // GetRemoteAddrHeaders returns the allowed request headers names // that can be valid to parse the client's IP based on. // // Defaults to: // "X-Real-Ip": true, // "X-Forwarded-For": true, // "CF-Connecting-IP": false // // Look `context.RemoteAddr()` for more. GetRemoteAddrHeaders() map[string]bool // GetOther returns the configuration.Other map. GetOther() map[string]interface{} }
ConfigurationReadOnly can be implemented by Configuration, it's being used inside the Context. All methods that it contains should be "safe" to be called by the context at "serve time". A configuration field may be missing when it's not safe or its useless to be called from a request handler.
type Context ¶
type Context interface { // BeginRequest is executing once for each request // it should prepare the (new or acquired from pool) context's fields for the new request. // // To follow the iris' flow, developer should: // 1. reset handlers to nil // 2. reset values to empty // 3. reset sessions to nil // 4. reset response writer to the http.ResponseWriter // 5. reset request to the *http.Request // and any other optional steps, depends on dev's application type. BeginRequest(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) // EndRequest is executing once after a response to the request was sent and this context is useless or released. // // To follow the iris' flow, developer should: // 1. flush the response writer's result // 2. release the response writer // and any other optional steps, depends on dev's application type. EndRequest() // ResponseWriter returns an http.ResponseWriter compatible response writer, as expected. ResponseWriter() ResponseWriter // ResetResponseWriter should change or upgrade the Context's ResponseWriter. ResetResponseWriter(ResponseWriter) // Request returns the original *http.Request, as expected. Request() *http.Request // SetCurrentRouteName sets the route's name internally, // in order to be able to find the correct current "read-only" Route when // end-developer calls the `GetCurrentRoute()` function. // It's being initialized by the Router, if you change that name // manually nothing really happens except that you'll get other // route via `GetCurrentRoute()`. // Instead, to execute a different path // from this context you should use the `Exec` function // or change the handlers via `SetHandlers/AddHandler` functions. SetCurrentRouteName(currentRouteName string) // GetCurrentRoute returns the current registered "read-only" route that // was being registered to this request's path. GetCurrentRoute() RouteReadOnly // Do calls the SetHandlers(handlers) // and executes the first handler, // handlers should not be empty. // // It's used by the router, developers may use that // to replace and execute handlers immediately. Do(Handlers) // AddHandler can add handler(s) // to the current request in serve-time, // these handlers are not persistenced to the router. // // Router is calling this function to add the route's handler. // If AddHandler called then the handlers will be inserted // to the end of the already-defined route's handler. // AddHandler(...Handler) // SetHandlers replaces all handlers with the new. SetHandlers(Handlers) // Handlers keeps tracking of the current handlers. Handlers() Handlers // HandlerIndex sets the current index of the // current context's handlers chain. // If -1 passed then it just returns the // current handler index without change the current index.rns that index, useless return value. // // Look Handlers(), Next() and StopExecution() too. HandlerIndex(n int) (currentIndex int) // HandlerName returns the current handler's name, helpful for debugging. HandlerName() string // Next calls all the next handler from the handlers chain, // it should be used inside a middleware. // // Note: Custom context should override this method in order to be able to pass its own context.Context implementation. Next() // NextHandler returns(but it is NOT executes) the next handler from the handlers chain. // // Use .Skip() to skip this handler if needed to execute the next of this returning handler. NextHandler() Handler // Skip skips/ignores the next handler from the handlers chain, // it should be used inside a middleware. Skip() // StopExecution if called then the following .Next calls are ignored. StopExecution() // IsStopped checks and returns true if the current position of the Context is 255, // means that the StopExecution() was called. IsStopped() bool // Params returns the current url's named parameters key-value storage. // Named path parameters are being saved here. // This storage, as the whole Context, is per-request lifetime. Params() *RequestParams // Values returns the current "user" storage. // Named path parameters and any optional data can be saved here. // This storage, as the whole Context, is per-request lifetime. // // You can use this function to Set and Get local values // that can be used to share information between handlers and middleware. Values() *memstore.Store // Translate is the i18n (localization) middleware's function, // it calls the Get("translate") to return the translated value. // // Example: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/miscellaneous/i18n Translate(format string, args ...interface{}) string // Method returns the request.Method, the client's http method to the server. Method() string // Path returns the full request path, // escaped if EnablePathEscape config field is true. Path() string // RequestPath returns the full request path, // based on the 'escape'. RequestPath(escape bool) string // Host returns the host part of the current url. Host() string // Subdomain returns the subdomain of this request, if any. // Note that this is a fast method which does not cover all cases. Subdomain() (subdomain string) // RemoteAddr tries to parse and return the real client's request IP. // // Based on allowed headers names that can be modified from Configuration.RemoteAddrHeaders. // // If parse based on these headers fail then it will return the Request's `RemoteAddr` field // which is filled by the server before the HTTP handler. // // Look `Configuration.RemoteAddrHeaders`, // `Configuration.WithRemoteAddrHeader(...)`, // `Configuration.WithoutRemoteAddrHeader(...)` for more. RemoteAddr() string // GetHeader returns the request header's value based on its name. GetHeader(name string) string // IsAjax returns true if this request is an 'ajax request'( XMLHttpRequest) // // There is no a 100% way of knowing that a request was made via Ajax. // You should never trust data coming from the client, they can be easily overcome by spoofing. // // Note that "X-Requested-With" Header can be modified by any client(because of "X-"), // so don't rely on IsAjax for really serious stuff, // try to find another way of detecting the type(i.e, content type), // there are many blogs that describe these problems and provide different kind of solutions, // it's always depending on the application you're building, // this is the reason why this `IsAjax“ is simple enough for general purpose use. // // Read more at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/AJAX // and https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/ IsAjax() bool // Header adds a header to the response writer.

Context is the midle-man server's "object" for the clients.
A New context is being acquired from a sync.Pool on each connection. The Context is the most important thing on the iris's http flow.
Developers send responses to the client's request through a Context. Developers get request information from the client's request a Context.
This context is an implementation of the context.Context sub-package. context.Context is very extensible and developers can override its methods if that is actually needed.
func NewContext ¶
func NewContext(app Application) Context
NewContext returns the default, internal, context implementation. You may use this function to embed the default context implementation to a custom one.
This context is received by the context pool.
type GzipResponseWriter ¶
type GzipResponseWriter struct { ResponseWriter // contains filtered or unexported fields }
GzipResponseWriter is an upgraded response writer which writes compressed data to the underline ResponseWriter.
It's a separate response writer because iris gives you the ability to "fallback" and "roll-back" the gzip encoding if something went wrong with the response, and write http errors in plain form instead.
func AcquireGzipResponseWriter ¶
func AcquireGzipResponseWriter() *GzipResponseWriter
AcquireGzipResponseWriter returns a new *GzipResponseWriter from the pool. Releasing is done automatically when request and response is done.
func (*GzipResponseWriter) BeginGzipResponse ¶

func (*GzipResponseWriter) WriteNow ¶
func (w *GzipResponseWriter) WriteNow(contents []byte) (int, error)
WriteNow compresses and writes that data to the underline response writer, returns the compressed written len.
Use `WriteNow` instead of `Write` when you need to know the compressed written size before the `FlushResponse`, note that you can't post any new headers after that, so that information is not closed to the handler anymore.
func (*GzipResponseWriter) WriteString ¶
func (w *GzipResponseWriter) WriteString(s string) (n int, err error)
WriteString prepares the string data write to the gzip writer and finally to its underline response writer, returns the uncompressed len(contents).
type Handler ¶
type Handler func(Context)
A Handler responds to an HTTP request. It writes reply headers and data to the Context.ResponseWriter() and then return. Returning signals that the request is finished; it is not valid to use the Context after or concurrently with the completion of the Handler call.
Depending on the HTTP client software, HTTP protocol version, and any intermediaries between the client and the iris server, it may not be possible to read from the Context.Request().Body after writing to the context.ResponseWriter(). Cautious handlers should read the Context.Request().Body first, and then reply.
Except for reading the body, handlers should not modify the provided Context.
If Handler panics, the server (the caller of Handler) assumes that the effect of the panic was isolated to the active request. It recovers the panic, logs a stack trace to the server error log, and hangs up the connection.
type Handlers ¶
type Handlers []Handler
Handlers is just a type of slice of []Handler.
See `Handler` for more.

Visit accepts a visitor which will be filled by the key-value params.
type ResponseRecorder ¶
type ResponseRecorder struct { ResponseWriter // contains filtered or unexported fields }
A ResponseRecorder is used mostly by context's transactions in order to record and change if needed the body, status code and headers.
Developers are not limited to manually ask to record a response. To turn on the recorder from a Handler, rec := context.Recorder()
func AcquireResponseRecorder ¶
func AcquireResponseRecorder() *ResponseRecorder
AcquireResponseRecorder returns a new *AcquireResponseRecorder from the pool. Releasing is done automatically when request and response is done.
func (*ResponseRecorder) BeginRecord ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) BeginRecord(underline ResponseWriter)

func (*ResponseRecorder) Naive ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) Naive() http.ResponseWriter
Naive returns the simple, underline and original http.ResponseWriter that backends this response writer.
func (*ResponseRecorder) Push ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) Push(target string, opts *http.PushOptions) error
Push initiates an HTTP/2 server push. This constructs a synthetic request using the given target and options, serializes that request into a PUSH_PROMISE frame, then dispatches that request using the server's request handler. If opts is nil, default options are used.
The target must either be an absolute path (like "/path") or an absolute URL that contains a valid host and the same scheme as the parent request. If the target is a path, it will inherit the scheme and host of the parent request.
The HTTP/2 spec disallows recursive pushes and cross-authority pushes. Push may or may not detect these invalid pushes; however, invalid pushes will be detected and canceled by conforming clients.
Handlers that wish to push URL X should call Push before sending any data that may trigger a request for URL X. This avoids a race where the client issues requests for X before receiving the PUSH_PROMISE for X.
Push returns ErrPushNotSupported if the client has disabled push or if push is not supported on the underlying connection.
func (*ResponseRecorder) Reset ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) Reset()

SetBody overrides the body and sets it to a slice of bytes value.
func (*ResponseRecorder) SetBodyString ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) SetBodyString(s string)
SetBodyString overrides the body and sets it to a string value.
func (*ResponseRecorder) Write ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) Write(contents []byte) (int, error)
Write Adds the contents to the body reply, it writes the contents temporarily to a value in order to be flushed at the end of the request, this method give us the opportunity to reset the body if needed.
If WriteHeader has not yet been called, Write calls WriteHeader(http.StatusOK) before writing the data. If the Header does not contain a Content-Type line, Write adds a Content-Type set to the result of passing the initial 512 bytes of written data to DetectContentType.
Depending on the HTTP protocol version and the client, calling Write or WriteHeader may prevent future reads on the Request.Body. For HTTP/1.x requests, handlers should read any needed request body data before writing the response. Once the headers have been flushed (due to either an explicit Flusher.Flush call or writing enough data to trigger a flush), the request body may be unavailable. For HTTP/2 requests, the Go HTTP server permits handlers to continue to read the request body while concurrently writing the response. However, such behavior may not be supported by all HTTP/2 clients. Handlers should read before writing if possible to maximize compatibility.
func (*ResponseRecorder) WriteString ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) WriteString(s string) (n int, err error)
WriteString writes a simple string to the response.
Returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered
func (*ResponseRecorder) WriteTo ¶
func (w *ResponseRecorder) WriteTo(res ResponseWriter)

type ResponseWriter ¶
type ResponseWriter interface { http.ResponseWriter http.Flusher http.Hijacker http.CloseNotifier http.Pusher // Naive returns the simple, underline and original http.ResponseWriter // that backends this response writer. Naive() http.ResponseWriter // BeginResponse receives an http.ResponseWriter // and initialize or reset the response writer's field's values. BeginResponse(http.ResponseWriter) // EndResponse is the last function which is called right before the server sent the final response. // // Here is the place which we can make the last checks or do a cleanup. EndResponse() // Writef formats according to a format specifier and writes to the response. // // Returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered. Writef(format string, a ...interface{}) (n int, err error) // WriteString writes a simple string to the response. // // Returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered. WriteString(s string) (n int, err error) // StatusCode returns the status code header value. StatusCode() int // Written should returns the total length of bytes that were being written to the client. // In addition iris provides some variables to help low-level actions: // NoWritten, means that nothing were written yet and the response writer is still live. // StatusCodeWritten, means that status code were written but no other bytes are written to the client, response writer may closed. // > 0 means that the reply was written and it's the total number of bytes were written. Written() int // SetBeforeFlush registers the unique callback which called exactly before the response is flushed to the client. SetBeforeFlush(cb func()) // GetBeforeFlush returns (not execute) the before flush callback, or nil if not setted by SetBeforeFlush. GetBeforeFlush() func() // FlushResponse should be called only once before EndResponse. // it tries to send the status code if not sent already // and calls the before flush callback, if any. // // FlushResponse can be called before EndResponse, but it should // be the last call of this response writer. FlushResponse() // clone returns a clone of this response writer // it copies the header, status code, headers and the beforeFlush finally returns a new ResponseRecorder. Clone() ResponseWriter // WiteTo writes a response writer (temp: status code, headers and body) to another response writer WriteTo(ResponseWriter) }
ResponseWriter interface is used by the context to serve an HTTP handler to construct an HTTP response.
Note: Only this ResponseWriter is an interface in order to be able for developers to change the response writer of the Context via `context.ResetResponseWriter`. The rest of the response writers implementations (ResponseRecorder & GzipResponseWriter) are coupled to the internal ResponseWriter implementation(*responseWriter).
A ResponseWriter may not be used after the Handler has returned.
func AcquireResponseWriter ¶
func AcquireResponseWriter() ResponseWriter
AcquireResponseWriter returns a new *ResponseWriter from the pool. Releasing is done automatically when request and response is done.
type RouteReadOnly ¶
type RouteReadOnly interface { // Name returns the route's name. Name() string // Method returns the route's method. Method() string // Subdomains returns the route's subdomain. Subdomain() string // Path returns the route's original registered path. Path() string // String returns the form of METHOD, SUBDOMAIN, TMPL PATH. String() string // IsOnline returns true if the route is marked as "online" (state). IsOnline() bool // StaticPath returns the static part of the original, registered route path. // if /user/{id} it will return /user // if /user/{id}/friend/{friendid:int} it will return /user too // if /assets/{filepath:path} it will return /assets. StaticPath() string // ResolvePath returns the formatted path's %v replaced with the args. ResolvePath(args ...string) string }
RouteReadOnly allows decoupled access to the current route inside the context.
type Transaction ¶
type Transaction struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Transaction gives the users the opportunity to code their route handlers cleaner and safier it receives a scope which is decided when to send an error to the user, recover from panics stop the execution of the next transactions and so on...
it's default scope is the TransientTransactionScope which is silently skips the current transaction's response if transaction.Complete accepts a non-empty error.
Create and set custom transactions scopes with transaction.SetScope.
For more information please visit the tests.
func (*Transaction) Complete ¶
func (t *Transaction) Complete(err error)
Complete completes the transaction rollback and send an error when the error is not empty. The next steps depends on its Scope.
The error can be a type of context.NewTransactionErrResult().
func (*Transaction) Context ¶
func (t *Transaction) Context() Context
Context returns the current context of the transaction.
func (*Transaction) SetScope ¶
func (t *Transaction) SetScope(scope TransactionScope)
SetScope sets the current transaction's scope iris.RequestTransactionScope || iris.TransientTransactionScope (default).
type TransactionErrResult ¶
type TransactionErrResult struct { StatusCode int // if reason is empty then the already relative registered (custom or not) // error will be executed if the scope allows that. Reason string ContentType string }
TransactionErrResult could be named also something like 'MaybeError', it is useful to send it on transaction.Complete in order to execute a custom error mesasge to the user.
in simple words it's just a 'traveler message' between the transaction and its scope. it is totally optional
func NewTransactionErrResult ¶
func NewTransactionErrResult() TransactionErrResult
NewTransactionErrResult returns a new transaction result with the given error message, it can be empty too, but if not then the transaction's scope is decided what to do with that
func (TransactionErrResult) Error ¶
func (err TransactionErrResult) Error() string
Error returns the reason given by the user or an empty string
func (TransactionErrResult) IsFailure ¶
func (err TransactionErrResult) IsFailure() bool
IsFailure returns true if this is an actual error
type TransactionScope ¶
type TransactionScope interface { // EndTransaction returns if can continue to the next transactions or not (false) // called after Complete, empty or not empty error EndTransaction(maybeErr TransactionErrResult, ctx Context) bool }
TransactionScope is the manager of the transaction's response, can be resseted and skipped from its parent context or execute an error or skip other transactions
type TransactionScopeFunc ¶
type TransactionScopeFunc func(maybeErr TransactionErrResult, ctx Context) bool
TransactionScopeFunc the transaction's scope signature
func (TransactionScopeFunc) EndTransaction ¶
func (tsf TransactionScopeFunc) EndTransaction(maybeErr TransactionErrResult, ctx Context) bool
EndTransaction ends the transaction with a callback to itself, implements the TransactionScope interface
type Unmarshaler ¶
Unmarshaler is the interface implemented by types that can unmarshal any raw data TIP INFO: Any v object which implements the BodyDecoder can be override the unmarshaler.
type UnmarshalerFunc ¶
UnmarshalerFunc a shortcut for the Unmarshaler interface
See 'Unmarshaler' and 'BodyDecoder' for more.
func (UnmarshalerFunc) Unmarshal ¶
func (u UnmarshalerFunc) Unmarshal(data []byte, v interface{}) error
Unmarshal parses the X-encoded data and stores the result in the value pointed to by v. Unmarshal uses the inverse of the encodings that Marshal uses, allocating maps, slices, and pointers as necessary.
