Variables

View Source
var DefaultJSONOptions = JSON{}

DefaultJSONOptions is the optional settings that are being used inside `ctx.JSON`.

View Source
var DefaultJSONPOptions = JSONP{}

DefaultJSONPOptions is the optional settings that are being used inside `ctx.JSONP`.

View Source
var DefaultMarkdownOptions = Markdown{}

DefaultMarkdownOptions is the optional settings that are being used from `WriteMarkdown` and `ctx.Markdown`.

View Source
var DefaultXMLOptions = XML{}

DefaultXMLOptions is the optional settings that are being used from `ctx.XML`.

View Source
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.

View Source
var FormatTime = func(ctx Context, t time.Time) string {
	return t.Format(ctx.Application().ConfigurationReadOnly().GetTimeFormat())
}

FormatTime returns a textual representation of the time value formatted according to the Application's configuration's TimeFormat field which defines the format.

Look `context#ParseTime` for the opossite operation (string to Time).

View Source
var Gzip = func(ctx Context) {
	ctx.Gzip(true)
	ctx.Next()
}

Gzip is a middleware which enables writing using gzip compression, if client supports.

View Source
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.

Next is the function that executed when `ctx.Next()` is called. It can be changed to a customized one if needed (very advanced usage).

See `DefaultNext` for more information about this and why it's exported like this.

View Source
var ParseTime = func(ctx Context, text string) (t time.Time, err error) {
	t, err = time.Parse(ctx.Application().ConfigurationReadOnly().GetTimeFormat(), text)
	if err != nil {
		return http.ParseTime(text)
	}

	return
}

ParseTime parses a time header (such as the Date: header), trying each forth formats (or three if Application's configuration's TimeFormat is defaulted) that are allowed by HTTP/1.1: Application's configuration's TimeFormat or/and http.TimeFormat, time.RFC850, and time.ANSIC.

Look `context#FormatTime` for the opossite operation (Time to string).

View Source
var Recorder = func(ctx Context) {
	ctx.Record()
	ctx.Next()
}

Recorder the middleware to enable response writer recording ( ResponseWriter -> ResponseRecorder)

View Source
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.

View Source
var SetCookieKVExpiration = time.Duration(120) * time.Minute

SetCookieKVExpiration is 2 hours by-default you can change it or simple, use the SetCookie for more control.

See `SetCookieKVExpiration` and `CookieExpires` for more.

View Source
var StatusCodeNotSuccessful = func(statusCode int) bool {
	return statusCode < 200 || statusCode >= 400
}

StatusCodeNotSuccessful defines if a specific "statusCode" is not a valid status code for a successful response. It defaults to < 200 || >= 400

Read more at `iris#DisableAutoFireStatusCode`, `iris/core/router#ErrorCodeHandler` and `iris/core/router#OnAnyErrorCode` for relative information.

Do NOT change it.

It's exported for extreme situations--special needs only, when the Iris server and the client is not following the RFC: https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

View Source
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 AddGzipHeaders

func AddGzipHeaders(w ResponseWriter)

AddGzipHeaders just adds the headers "Vary" to "Accept-Encoding" and "Content-Encoding" to "gzip".

func CookieCleanPath

func CookieCleanPath(c *http.Cookie)

CookieCleanPath is a `CookieOption`. Use it to clear the cookie's Path field, exactly the same as `CookiePath("")`.

func DecodeQuery

func DecodeQuery(path string) string

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

func DecodeURL(uri string) string

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 DefaultNext

func DefaultNext(ctx Context)

DefaultNext is the default function that executed on each middleware if `ctx.Next()` is called.

DefaultNext calls the next handler from the handlers chain by registration order, it should be used inside a middleware.

It can be changed to a customized one if needed (very advanced usage).

Developers are free to customize the whole or part of the Context's implementation by implementing a new `context.Context` (see https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/_examples/routing/custom-context) or by just override the `context.Next` package-level field, `context.DefaultNext` is exported in order to be able for developers to merge your customized version one with the default behavior as well.

func Do

func Do(ctx Context, handlers Handlers)

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 GetHost

func GetHost(r *http.Request) string

GetHost returns the host part of the current URI.

func HandlerName

func HandlerName(h Handler) string

HandlerName returns the name, the handler function informations. Same as `context.HandlerName`.

func IsZeroTime

func IsZeroTime(t time.Time) bool

IsZeroTime reports whether t is obviously unspecified (either zero or Unix()=0).

func LastCapturedContextID

func LastCapturedContextID() uint64

LastCapturedContextID returns the total number of `context#String` calls.

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

func WriteMarkdown(writer io.Writer, markdownB []byte, options Markdown) (int, error)

WriteMarkdown parses the markdown to html and writes these contents to the writer.

func WriteXML

func WriteXML(writer io.Writer, v interface{}, options XML) (int, error)

WriteXML marshals the given interface object and writes the XML response 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)

	// RouteExists reports whether a particular route exists
	// It will search from the current subdomain of context's host, if not inside the root domain.
	RouteExists(ctx Context, method, path string) bool
}

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

type BodyDecoder interface {
	Decode(data []byte) error
}

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.

Example: https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/master/_examples/http_request/read-custom-per-type/main.go

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

	// GetPostMaxMemory returns the maximum configured post data size
	// that a client can send to the server, this differs
	// from the overral request body size which can be modified
	// by the `context#SetMaxRequestBodySize` or `iris#LimitRequestBodySize`.
	//
	// Defaults to 32MB or 32 << 20 if you prefer.
	GetPostMaxMemory() int64

	// 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.

	HandlerIndex(n int) (currentIndex int)
	// Proceed is an alternative way to check if a particular handler
	// has been executed and called the `ctx.Next` function inside it.
	// This is useful only when you run a handler inside
	// another handler. It justs checks for before index and the after index.
	//
	// A usecase example is when you want to execute a middleware
	// inside controller's `BeginRequest` that calls the `ctx.Next` inside it.
	// The Controller looks the whole flow (BeginRequest, method handler, EndRequest)
	// as one handler, so `ctx.Next` will not be reflected to the method handler
	// if called from the `BeginRequest`.
	//
	// Although `BeginRequest` should NOT be used to call other handlers,
	// the `BeginRequest` has been introduced to be able to set
	// common data to all method handlers before their execution.
	// Controllers can accept middleware(s) from the MVC's Application's Router as normally.
	//
	// That said let's see an example of `ctx.Proceed`:
	//
	// var authMiddleware = basicauth.New(basicauth.Config{

	// 	if !ctx.Proceed(authMiddleware) {
	// 		ctx.StopExecution()
	// 	}
	// }
	// This Get() will be executed in the same handler as `BeginRequest`,
	// internally controller checks for `ctx.StopExecution`.
	// So it will not be fired if BeginRequest called the `StopExecution`.
	// func(c *UsersController) Get() []models.User {
	//	  return c.Service.GetAll()
	//}
	// Alternative way is `!ctx.IsStopped()` if middleware make use of the `ctx.StopExecution()` on failure.
	Proceed(Handler) bool

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.

type CookieDecoder

type CookieDecoder func(cookieName string, cookieValue string, v interface{}) error

CookieDecoder should decode the cookie value. Should accept as first argument the cookie name, as second argument the encoded cookie value and as third argument the decoded value ptr. Should return a decoded value or an empty one if decode operation failed. Should return an error if decode operation failed.

Note: Errors are not printed, so you have to know what you're doing, and remember: if you use AES it only supports key sizes of 16, 24 or 32 bytes. You either need to provide exactly that amount or you derive the key from what you type in.

See `CookieEncoder` too.

type CookieEncoder

type CookieEncoder func(cookieName string, value interface{}) (string, error)

CookieEncoder should encode the cookie value. Should accept as first argument the cookie name and as second argument the cookie value ptr. Should return an encoded value or an empty one if encode operation failed. Should return an error if encode operation failed.

Note: Errors are not printed, so you have to know what you're doing, and remember: if you use AES it only supports key sizes of 16, 24 or 32 bytes. You either need to provide exactly that amount or you derive the key from what you type in.

See `CookieDecoder` too.

type CookieOption

type CookieOption func(*http.Cookie)

CookieOption is the type of function that is accepted on context's methods like `SetCookieKV`, `RemoveCookie` and `SetCookie` as their (last) variadic input argument to amend the end cookie's form.

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).

Writef formats according to a format specifier and writes to the response.

Returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered.

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.

type ResponseRecorder

type ResponseRecorder struct {

Flush sends any buffered data to the client.

func (*ResponseRecorder) FlushResponse

func (w *ResponseRecorder) FlushResponse()

FlushResponse the full body, headers and status code to the underline response writer called automatically at the end of each request.

func (*ResponseRecorder) Naive

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()

Reset resets the response body, headers and the status code header.

func (*ResponseRecorder) ResetBody

func (w *ResponseRecorder) ResetBody()

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.

	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)

	//
	// 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

	// SetWritten sets manually a value for written, it can be
	// NoWritten(-1) or StatusCodeWritten(0), > 0 means body length which is useless here.
	SetWritten(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

	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.

	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

	// 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
