Types

type App

type App struct {
	// Config can be used by applications to fetch custom configurations from environment or file.
	Config config.Config // If we directly embed, unnecessary confusion between app.Get and app.GET will happen.
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

App is the main application in the gofr framework.

func New

func New() *App

New creates an HTTP Server Application and returns that App.

func NewCMD

func NewCMD() *App

NewCMD creates a command line application.

func (*App) AddHTTPService

func (a *App) AddHTTPService(serviceName, serviceAddress string, options ...service.Options)

AddHTTPService registers HTTP service in container.

func (*App) DELETE

func (a *App) DELETE(pattern string, handler Handler)

DELETE adds a Handler for http DELETE method for a route pattern.

func (*App) GET

func (a *App) GET(pattern string, handler Handler)

GET adds a Handler for http GET method for a route pattern.

func (*App) Metrics

func (a *App) Metrics() metrics.Manager

func (*App) POST

func (a *App) POST(pattern string, handler Handler)

POST adds a Handler for http POST method for a route pattern.

func (*App) PUT

func (a *App) PUT(pattern string, handler Handler)

PUT adds a Handler for http PUT method for a route pattern.

func (*App) RegisterService

func (a *App) RegisterService(desc *grpc.ServiceDesc, impl interface{})

RegisterService adds a grpc service to the gofr application.

func (*App) Run

func (a *App) Run()

Run starts the application. If it is a HTTP server, it will start the server.

func (*App) SubCommand

func (a *App) SubCommand(pattern string, handler Handler)

SubCommand adds a sub-command to the CLI application. Can be used to create commands like "kubectl get" or "kubectl get ingress".

type Context

type Context struct {
	context.Context

	// Request needs to be public because handlers need to access request details. Else, we need to provide all
	// functionalities of the Request as a method on context. This is not needed because Request here is an interface
	// So, internals are not exposed anyway.
	Request

	// Same logic as above.
	*container.Container
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Context) Bind

func (c *Context) Bind(i interface{}) error

func (*Context) Trace

func (c *Context) Trace(name string) trace.Span

Trace returns an open telemetry span. We have to always close the span after corresponding work is done. Usages:

span := c.Trace("Some Work")
// Do some work here.
defer span.End()

If an entire function has to traced as span, we can use a simpler format:

defer c.Trace("ExampleHandler").End()

We can write this at the start of function and because of how defer works, trace will start at that line but End will be called after function ends.

Developer Note: If you chain methods in a defer statement, everything except the last function will be evaluated at call time.

type ErrCommandNotFound

type ErrCommandNotFound struct{}

func (ErrCommandNotFound) Error

func (e ErrCommandNotFound) Error() string

type Handler

type Handler func(c *Context) (interface{}, error)

type Request

type Request interface {
	Context() context.Context
	Param(string) string
	PathParam(string) string
	Bind(interface{}) error
	HostName() string
}

Request is an interface which is written because it allows us to create applications without being aware of the transport. In both cmd or server application, this abstraction can be used.

type Responder

type Responder interface {
	Respond(data interface{}, err error)
}

Responder is used by the application to provide output. This is implemented for both cmd and http server application.
