github.com/xiam/bridge
A trivial bridge between Go functions and JSON consumers over HTTP.
Is this the simplest way of communication Go structs/funcs with JSON talking clients?
This is a work in progress.
Installation
go get -u github.com/xiam/bridge
Usage
Something simple, a Go function that sums arguments.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xiam/bridge"
)
func Sum(a ...int) int64 {
z := int64(0)
for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
z = z + int64(a[i])
}
return z
}
// You don't need to change your code, no need to change anything at all, just
// spawn a server and map a route to the function!
func main() {
// Creating server
srv := bridge.New("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8088")
// Mapping "sum" to the function Sum
srv.AddRoute("/sum", Sum)
// Starting server
err := srv.Start()
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("Error: %v\n", err)
}
}
An example on how to call the above Go function using curl and getting the result:
$ curl '127.0.0.1:8088/sum/78/45'
123
A more complex example, this time we'll use a Go struct instead of a function. All public methods on this struct will become available for consuming when you map the struct:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xiam/bridge"
)
type Simple struct {
// Set operator with a POST parameter.
Operator string
}
// Pass arguments with slash separated segments.
func (self *Simple) Exec(a ...int) (float64, error) {
fmt.Printf("Received operator: %v\n", self.Operator)
z := float64(0)
switch self.Operator {
case "+":
{
for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
z = z + float64(a[i])
}
return z, nil
}
case "-":
{
for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
z = z - float64(a[i])
}
return z, nil
}
case "*":
{
z = 1.0
for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
z = z * float64(a[i])
}
return z, nil
}
case "/":
{
z = 1.0
for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
z = z / float64(a[i])
}
return z, nil
}
}
return z, fmt.Errorf(`No POST[operator] given. Try "+" or "-"`)
}
func main() {
// Creating a new server
srv := bridge.New("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8088")
// Mapping "/" to a new instance of *Simple
// All public methods become available.
srv.AddRoute("/", &Simple{})
// Starting server.
err := srv.Start()
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("Error: %v\n", err)
}
}
This call that multiplies 76...21 and outputs 5040.
$ curl '127.0.0.1:8088/exec/1/2/3/4/5/6/7' -d 'operator=*'
5040
Another piece of code that links functions from the strings package.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xiam/bridge"
"strings"
)
func main() {
srv := bridge.New("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8088")
srv.AddRoute("/strings/contains", strings.Contains)
srv.AddRoute("/strings/split", strings.Split)
srv.AddRoute("/strings/repeat", strings.Repeat)
err := srv.Start()
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("Error: %v\n", err)
}
}
Yes, you can use the strings package over HTTP too:
$ curl '127.0.0.1:8088/strings/contains/chocolate/lat'
true
$ curl '127.0.0.1:8088/strings/contains/chocolate/let'
false
Want to see actual JSON?
package main
import (
"errors"
"fmt"
"github.com/xiam/bridge"
)
type Demo struct {
Name string
LastName string
}
// This method will be mapped to /demo/hello_world
func (self *Demo) HelloWorld() (map[string]interface{}, error) {
if self.LastName != "Smith" {
return nil, errors.New(`Your last name is not "Smith".`)
} else {
res := map[string]interface{}{
"success": "ok",
"message": fmt.Sprintf("Hello %s %s!", self.Name, self.LastName),
}
return res, nil
}
}
func main() {
srv := bridge.New("tcp", "127.0.0.1:8088")
srv.AddRoute("/demo", &Demo{})
err := srv.Start()
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("Error: %v\n", err)
}
}
Make it salute you!
$ curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8088/demo/hello_world' -d "name=John"
{"error":"Your last name is not \"Smith\"."}
$ curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8088/demo/hello_world' -d "name=John&last_name=Smith"
{"message":"Hello John Smith!","success":"ok"}
