⚡️ Fiber is an Express inspired web framework written in Go with ☕️

Fiber is an Express inspired web framework built on top of Fasthttp, the fastest HTTP engine for Go. Designed to ease things up for fast development with zero memory allocation and performance in mind.

⚡️ Quickstart

package main

import "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.SendString("Hello, World 👋!")
    })

    app.Listen(":3000")
}

💡 Philosophy

New gophers that make the switch from Node.js to Go are dealing with a learning curve before they can start building their web applications or microservices. Fiber, as a web framework, was created with the idea of minimalism and follows the UNIX way, so that new gophers can quickly enter the world of Go with a warm and trusted welcome.

Fiber is inspired by Express, the most popular web framework on the Internet. We combined the ease of Express and raw performance of Go. If you have ever implemented a web application in Node.js (using Express or similar), then many methods and principles will seem very common to you.

We listen to our users in issues, Discord channel and all over the Internet to create a fast, flexible and friendly Go web framework for any task, deadline and developer skill! Just like Express does in the JavaScript world.

👀 Examples

Listed below are some of the common examples. If you want to see more code examples , please visit our Recipes repository or visit our hosted API documentation.

📖 Basic Routing

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    // GET /john
    app.Get("/:name", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        msg := fmt.Sprintf("Hello, %s 👋!", c.Params("name"))
        return c.SendString(msg) // => Hello john 👋!
    })

    // GET /john/75
    app.Get("/:name/:age", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        msg := fmt.Sprintf("👴 %s is %s years old", c.Params("name"), c.Params("age"))
        return c.SendString(msg) // => 👴 john is 75 years old
    })

    // GET /dictionary.txt
    app.Get("/:file.:ext", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        msg := fmt.Sprintf("📃 %s.%s", c.Params("file"), c.Params("ext"))
        return c.SendString(msg) // => 📃 dictionary.txt
    })

    // GET /flights/LAX-SFO
    app.Get("/flights/:from-:to", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        msg := fmt.Sprintf("💸 From: %s, To: %s", c.Params("from"), c.Params("to"))
        return c.SendString(msg) // => 💸 From: LAX, To: SFO
    })

    // GET /api/register
    app.Get("/api/*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        msg := fmt.Sprintf("✋ %s", c.Params("*"))
        return c.SendString(msg) // => ✋ register
    })

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

📖 Serving Static Files

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    app.Static("/", "./public")
    // => http://localhost:3000/js/script.js
    // => http://localhost:3000/css/style.css

    app.Static("/prefix", "./public")
    // => http://localhost:3000/prefix/js/script.js
    // => http://localhost:3000/prefix/css/style.css

    app.Static("*", "./public/index.html")
    // => http://localhost:3000/any/path/shows/index/html

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

📖 Middleware & Next

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    // Match any route
    app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        fmt.Println("🥇 First handler")
        return c.Next()
    })

    // Match all routes starting with /api
    app.Use("/api", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        fmt.Println("🥈 Second handler")
        return c.Next()
    })

    // GET /api/register
    app.Get("/api/list", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        fmt.Println("🥉 Last handler")
        return c.SendString("Hello, World 👋!")
    })

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

Views engines

📖 Config 📖 Engines 📖 Render

Fiber defaults to the html/template when no view engine is set.

If you want to execute partials or use a different engine like amber, handlebars, mustache or pug etc..

Checkout our Template package that support multiple view engines.

package main

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    "github.com/gofiber/template/pug"
)

func main() {
    // You can setup Views engine before initiation app:
    app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
        Views: pug.New("./views", ".pug"),
    })

    // And now, you can call template `./views/home.pug` like this:
    app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.Render("home", fiber.Map{
            "title": "Homepage",
            "year":  1999,
        })
    })

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

Grouping routes into chains

📖 Group

func middleware(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    fmt.Println("Don't mind me!")
    return c.Next()
}

func handler(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.SendString(c.Path())
}

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    // Root API route
    api := app.Group("/api", middleware) // /api

    // API v1 routes
    v1 := api.Group("/v1", middleware) // /api/v1
    v1.Get("/list", handler)           // /api/v1/list
    v1.Get("/user", handler)           // /api/v1/user

    // API v2 routes
    v2 := api.Group("/v2", middleware) // /api/v2
    v2.Get("/list", handler)           // /api/v2/list
    v2.Get("/user", handler)           // /api/v2/user

    // ...
}

Middleware logger

📖 Logger

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/logger"
)

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    app.Use(logger.New())

    // ...

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))

    })

    app.Post("/register", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.SendString("Welcome!")
    })

    // Last middleware to match anything
    app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.SendStatus(404)
        // => 404 "Not Found"
    })

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

    })

    app.Get("/json", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.JSON(fiber.Map{
            "success": true,
            "message": "Hi John!",
        })

    })

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

WebSocket Upgrade

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/websocket"
)

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  app.Get("/ws", websocket.New(func(c *websocket.Conn) {
    for {
      mt, msg, err := c.ReadMessage()
      if err != nil {
        log.Println("read:", err)
        break
      }
      log.Printf("recv: %s", msg)
      err = c.WriteMessage(mt, msg)
      if err != nil {
