Overview

Package web provides quick start framework for web application.

Main features of Hiboot web application

Web MVC (Model-View-Controller).

Auto Configuration, pre-created instance with properties configs for dependency injection.

Dependency injection with the struct tag `inject:""` or the constructor.

Dependency injection in Go

Dependency injection is a concept valid for any programming language. The general concept behind dependency injection is called Inversion of Control. According to this concept a struct should not configure its dependencies statically but should be configured from the outside.

Dependency Injection design pattern allows us to remove the hard-coded dependencies and make our application loosely coupled, extendable and maintainable.

A Go struct has a dependency on another struct, if it uses an instance of this struct. We call this a struct dependency. For example, a struct which accesses a user controller has a dependency on user service struct.

Ideally Go struct should be as independent as possible from other Go struct. This increases the possibility of reusing these struct and to be able to test them independently from other struct.

The following example shows a struct which has no hard dependencies.

Example

This example shows that jwtToken is injected through method Init, once you imported "hidevops.io/hiboot/pkg/starter/jwt", jwtToken jwt.Token will be injectable.

package main

import (
	"hidevops.io/hiboot/pkg/app"
	"hidevops.io/hiboot/pkg/app/web"
	"hidevops.io/hiboot/pkg/model"
	"hidevops.io/hiboot/pkg/starter/jwt"
	"time"
)

// This example shows that jwtToken is injected through method Init,
// once you imported "hidevops.io/hiboot/pkg/starter/jwt",
// jwtToken jwt.Token will be injectable.
func main() {
	// the web application entry
	web.NewApplication().Run()
}

// PATH: /login
type loginController struct {
	web.Controller

	token jwt.Token
}

type userRequest struct {
	// embedded field model.RequestBody mark that userRequest is request body
	model.RequestBody
	Username string `json:"username" validate:"required"`
	Password string `json:"password" validate:"required"`
}

func init() {
	// Register Rest Controller through constructor newLoginController
	app.Register(newLoginController)
}

// newLoginController inject jwtToken through the argument jwtToken jwt.Token on constructor
// the dependency jwtToken is auto configured in jwt starter, see https://hidevops.io/hiboot/tree/master/pkg/starter/jwt
func newLoginController(token jwt.Token) *loginController {
	return &loginController{
		token: token,
	}
}

// Post /
// The first word of method is the http method POST, the rest is the context mapping
func (c *loginController) Post(request *userRequest) (response model.Response, err error) {
	jwtToken, _ := c.token.Generate(jwt.Map{
		"username": request.Username,
		"password": request.Password,
	}, 30, time.Minute)

	response = new(model.BaseResponse)
	response.SetData(jwtToken)

	return
}

Functions

func NewApplication

func NewApplication(controllers ...interface{}) app.Application

NewApplication create new web application instance and init it

Types

type Context

type Context struct {
	// Optional Part 1: embed (optional but required if you don't want to override all context's methods)
	// it's the context/context.go#context struct but you don't need to know it.
	context.Context
	ExtendedContext
}

Context Create your own custom Context, put any fields you wanna need.

func (*Context) Do

func (ctx *Context) Do(handlers context.Handlers)

Do The only one important if you will override the Context with an embedded context.Context inside it. Required in order to run the handlers via this "*Context".

func (*Context) HTML

func (ctx *Context) HTML(htmlContents string) (int, error)

HTML Override any context's method you want... [...]

func (*Context) Next

func (ctx *Context) Next()

Next The second one important if you will override the Context with an embedded context.Context inside it. Required in order to run the chain of handlers via this "*Context".

func (*Context) RequestBody

func (ctx *Context) RequestBody(data interface{}) error

RequestBody get RequestBody

func (*Context) RequestForm

func (ctx *Context) RequestForm(data interface{}) error
