Overview ¶
Package eskip implements an in-memory representation of Skipper routes and a DSL for describing Skipper route expressions, route definitions and complete routing tables.
Grammar Summary ¶
A routing table is built up from 0 or more route definitions. The definitions are separated by ';'. A route definition contains one route expression prefixed by its id and a ':'.
A routing table example:
catalog: Path("/*category") -> "https://catalog.example.org"; productPage: Path("/products/:id") -> "https://products.example.org"; userAccount: Path("/user/:id/*userpage") -> "https://users.example.org"; // 404 notfound: * -> modPath(/.+/, "/notfound.html") -> static("/", "/var/www") -> <shunt>
A route expression always contains a match expression and a backend expression, and it can contain optional filter expressions. The match expression, each filter and the backend are separated by '->'. The filters take place between the matcher and the backend.
A route expression example:
Path("/api/*resource") && Header("Accept", "application/json") -> modPath("^/api", "") -> requestHeader("X-Type", "external") -> "https://api.example.org"
Match Expressions - Predicates ¶
A match expression contains one or more predicates. An incoming request must fulfill each of them to match the route. The predicates are separated by '&&'.
A match expression example:
Path("/api/*resource") && Header("Accept", "application/json")
The following predicate expressions are recognized:
Path("/some/path")
The path predicate accepts a single argument, that can be a fixed path like "/some/path", or it can contain wildcards in place of one or more names in the path, e.g. "/some/:dir/:name", or it can end with a free wildcard like "/some/path/*param", where the free wildcard can contain a sub-path with multiple names. Note, that this solution implicitly supports the glob standard, e.g. "/some/path/**" will work as expected. The arguments are available to the filters while processing the matched requests.
PathSubtree("/some/path")
The path subtree predicate behaves similar to the path predicate, but it matches the exact path in the definition and any sub path below it. The subpath is automatically provided in the path parameter with the name "*". If a free wildcard is appended to the definition, e.g. PathSubtree("/some/path/*rest"), the free wildcard name is used instead of "*". The simple wildcards behave similar to the Path predicate.
PathRegexp(/regular-expression/)
The regexp path predicate accepts a regular expression as a single argument that needs to be matched by the request path. The regular expression can be surrounded by '/' or '"'.
Host(/host-regular-expression/)
The host predicate accepts a regular expression as a single argument that needs to be matched by the host header in the request.
Method("HEAD")
The method predicate is used to match the http request method.
Header("Accept", "application/json")
The header predicate is used to match the http headers in the request. It accepts two arguments, the name of the header field and the exact header value to match.
HeaderRegexp("Accept", /\Wapplication\/json\W/)
The header regexp predicate works similar to the header expression, but the value to be matched is a regular expression.
*
Catch all predicate.
Any()
Former, deprecated form of the catch all predicate.
Custom Predicates ¶
Eskip supports custom route matching predicates, that can be implemented in extensions. The notation of custom predicates is the same as of the built-in route matching expressions:
Foo(3.14, "bar")
During parsing, custom predicates may define any arbitrary list of arguments of types number, string or regular expression, and it is the responsibility of the implementation to validate them.
(See the documentation of the routing package.)
Filters ¶
Filters are used to augment the incoming requests and the outgoing responses, or do other useful or fun stuff. Filters can have different numbers of arguments depending on the implementation of the particular filter. The arguments can be of type string ("a string"), number (3.1415) or regular expression (/[.]html$/ or "[.]html$").
A filter example:
setResponseHeader("max-age", "86400") -> static("/", "/var/www/public")
The default Skipper implementation provides the following built-in filters:
setRequestHeader("header-name", "header-value") setResponseHeader("header-name", "header-value") appendRequestHeader("header-name", "header-value") appendResponseHeader("header-name", "header-value") dropRequestHeader("header-name") dropResponseHeader("header-name") modPath(/regular-expression/, "replacement") setPath("/replacement") redirectTo(302, "https://ui.example.org") flowId("reuse", 64) healthcheck() static("/images", "/var/www/images") inlineContent("{\"foo\": 42}", "application/json") stripQuery("true") preserveHost() status(418) tee("https://audit-logging.example.org") consecutiveBreaker() rateBreaker() disableBreaker()
For details about the built-in filters, please, refer to the documentation of the skipper/filters package. Skipper is designed to be extendable primarily by implementing custom filters, for details about how to create custom filters, please, refer to the documentation of the root skipper package.
Naming conventions ¶
Note, that the naming of predicates and filters follows the following convention: both predicates and filters are written in camel case, and predicates start with upper case, while filters start with lower case.
Backend ¶
There are four backend types: network endpoint address, shunt, loopback and dynamic.
Network endpoint address:
"http://internal.example.org:9090"
The network endpoint address backend is a double quoted string. It contains a protocol scheme, a domain name or an IP address, and optionally can contain a port number which is inferred from the scheme if not specified.
shunt:
<shunt>
The shunt backend means that the route will not forward requests, but the router will handle requests itself. The default response in this case is 404 Not Found, unless a filter in the route changes it.
loopback:
<loopback>
The loopback backend means that the state of the request at the end of the request filter chain will be matched against the lookup table instead of being sent to a network backend. When a new route returns, the filter chain of the original loop route is executed on the response, and the response is returned. The path parameters of the outer, looping, route are preserved for the inner route, but the path parameters of the inner route are discarded once it returns.
dynamic:
<dynamic>
The dynamic backend means that a filter must be present in the filter chain which must set the target url explicitly.
Comments ¶
An eskip document can contain comments. The rule for comments is simple: everything is a comment that starts with '//' and ends with a new-line character.
Example with comments:
// forwards to the API endpoint route1: Path("/api") -> "https://api.example.org"; route2: * -> <shunt> // everything else 404
Regular expressions ¶
The matching predicates and the built-in filters that use regular expressions, use the go stdlib regexp, which uses re2:
https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax
Parsing Filters ¶
The eskip.ParseFilters method can be used to parse a chain of filters, without the matcher and backend part of a full route expression.
Parsing ¶
Parsing a routing table or a route expression happens with the eskip.Parse function. In case of grammar error, it returns an error with the approximate position of the invalid syntax element, otherwise it returns a list of structured, in-memory route definitions.
The eskip parser does not validate the routes against all semantic rules, e.g., whether a filter or a custom predicate implementation is available. This validation happens during processing the parsed definitions.
Serializing ¶
Serializing a single route happens by calling its String method. Serializing a complete routing table happens by calling the eskip.String method.
JSON ¶
Both serializing and parsing is possible via the standard json.Marshal and json.Unmarshal functions.
Package template provides a simple templating solution reusable in filters.
(Note that the current template syntax is EXPERIMENTAL, and may change in the near future.)
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "log" "github.com/zalando/skipper/eskip" ) func main() { code := ` // Skipper - Eskip: // a routing table document, containing multiple route definitions // route definition to a jsx page renderer route0: PathRegexp(/\.html$/) && HeaderRegexp("Accept", "text/html") -> modPath(/\.html$/, ".jsx") -> requestHeader("X-Type", "page") -> "https://render.example.org"; route1: Path("/some/path") -> "https://backend-0.example.org"; // a simple route // route definition with a shunt (no backend address) route2: Path("/some/other/path") -> static("/", "/var/www") -> <shunt>; // route definition directing requests to an api endpoint route3: Method("POST") && Path("/api") -> requestHeader("X-Type", "ajax-post") -> "https://api.example.org"; // route definition with a loopback to route2 (no backend address) route4: Path("/some/alternative/path") -> setPath("/some/other/path") -> <loopback>; ` routes, err := eskip.Parse(code) if err != nil { log.Println(err) return } format := "%v: [match] -> [%v filter(s) ->] <%v> \"%v\"\n" fmt.Println("Parsed routes:") for _, r := range routes { fmt.Printf(format, r.Id, len(r.Filters), r.BackendType, r.Backend) } }
Output: Parsed routes: route0: [match] -> [2 filter(s) ->] <network> "https://render.example.org" route1: [match] -> [0 filter(s) ->] <network> "https://backend-0.example.org" route2: [match] -> [1 filter(s) ->] <shunt> "" route3: [match] -> [1 filter(s) ->] <network> "https://api.example.org" route4: [match] -> [1 filter(s) ->] <loopback> ""

Functions ¶
func Eq ¶ added in v0.11.29
Eq implements canonical equivalence comparison of routes based on Skipper semantics.
Duplicate IDs are considered invalid for Eq, and it returns false in this case.
The Name and Namespace fields are ignored.
If there are multiple methods, only the last one is considered, to reproduce the route matching (even if how it works, may not be the most expected in regard of the method predicates).
func EqLists ¶ added in v0.11.29
EqLists compares lists of routes. It returns true if the routes contained by each list are equal by Eq(). Repeated route IDs are considered invalid and EqLists always returns false in this case. The order of the routes in the lists doesn't matter.
func Fprint ¶ added in v0.9.70
func Fprint(w io.Writer, prettyPrintInfo PrettyPrintInfo, routes ...*Route)
func GenerateIfNeeded ¶
generate weak random id for a route if it doesn't have one.
func Print ¶
func Print(pretty PrettyPrintInfo, routes ...*Route) string
Print serializes a set of routes into a string. If there's only a single route, and its ID is not set, it prints only a route expression. If it has multiple routes with IDs, it prints full route definitions with the IDs and separated by ';'.
Types ¶
type BackendType ¶ added in v0.9.39
type BackendType int
BackendType indicates whether a route is a network backend, a shunt or a loopback.
func BackendTypeFromString ¶ added in v0.11.29
func BackendTypeFromString(s string) (BackendType, error)
BackendTypeFromString parses the string representation of a backend type definition.
func (BackendType) String ¶ added in v0.9.39
func (t BackendType) String() string
String returns the string representation of a backend type definition.
type Clone ¶ added in v0.13.88
type Clone struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func NewClone ¶ added in v0.13.88
NewClone creates a Clone PreProcessor, that matches routes and replaces the content of the cloned routes. For example to migrate from Source to ClientIP predicates you can use --clone-route='/Source[(](.*)[)]/ClientIP($1)/', which will change routes as you can see:
# input r0: Source("127.0.0.1/8", "10.0.0.0/8") -> inlineContent("OK") -> <shunt>; # actual route clone_r0: ClientIP("127.0.0.1/8", "10.0.0.0/8") -> inlineContent("OK") -> <shunt>; r0: Source("127.0.0.1/8", "10.0.0.0/8") -> inlineContent("OK") -> <shunt>;
type DefaultFilters ¶ added in v0.10.234
DefaultFilters implements the routing.PreProcessor interface and should be used with the routing package.
func (*DefaultFilters) Do ¶ added in v0.10.234
func (df *DefaultFilters) Do(routes []*Route) []*Route
Do implements the interface routing.PreProcessor. It appends and prepends filters stored to incoming routes and returns the modified version of routes.
type Editor ¶ added in v0.13.88
type Editor struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func NewEditor ¶ added in v0.13.88
NewEditor creates an Editor PreProcessor, that matches routes and replaces the content. For example to replace Source predicates with ClientIP predicates you can use --edit-route='/Source[(](.*)[)]/ClientIP($1)/', which will change routes as you can see:
# input r0: Source("127.0.0.1/8", "10.0.0.0/8") -> inlineContent("OK") -> <shunt>; # actual route edit_r0: ClientIP("127.0.0.1/8", "10.0.0.0/8") -> inlineContent("OK") -> <shunt>;
