A micro web library for Go.

Possum

Possum is a micro web library for Go.

It has following modules:

• Routers
• Views
• Session
• Helpers

Install

Install the package:

go get github.com/mikespook/possum

Usage

Importing the package and sub-packages:

import (
	"github.com/mikespook/possum"
	"github.com/mikespook/possum/router"
	"github.com/mikespook/possum/view"
)

Possum uses Context for passing data, handling request and rendering response.

This is how to create a new server mux for Possum:

mux := possum.NewServerMux()

And assign a customized error handler:

mux.ErrorHandle = func(err error) {
	fmt.Println(err)
}

PreRequest and PostResponse are useful for pre-checking or customizing logs:

mux.PreRequest = func(ctx *possum.Context) error {
	host, port, err := net.SplitHostPort(ctx.Request.RemoteAddr)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	if host != "127.0.0.1" {
		return possum.NewError(http.StatusForbidden, "Localhost only")
	}
	return nil
}

mux.PostResponse = func(ctx *possum.Context) error {
	fmt.Printf("[%d] %s:%s \"%s\"", ctx.Response.Status,
		ctx.Request.RemoteAddr,	ctx.Request.Method,
		ctx.Request.URL.String())		
}

A specific path can bind to a different combination of routers, handlers and views:

f := session.NewFactory(session.CookieStorage('session-id', nil))

func helloword(ctx *Context) error {
	ctx.StartSession(f)
	return nil
}

mux.HandlerFunc(router.Simple("/json"), helloword, view.Json(view.CharSetUTF8))

if err := view.InitHtmlTemplates("*.html"); err != nil {
	return
}
mux.HandleFunc(router.Wildcard("/html/*/*"),
	helloworld, view.Html("base.html", "utf-8"))

if err := view.InitWatcher("*.html", view.InitTextTemplates, nil);
	err != nil {
	return
}
mux.HandleFunc(router.RegEx("/html/(.*)/[a-z]"),
	helloworld, view.Text("base.html", "utf-8"))

mux.HandleFunc(router.Colon("/:img/:id"), 
	nil, view.File("img.jpg", "image/jpeg"))

Also, a PProf methods can be initialized by mux.InitPProf:

mux.InitPProf("/_pprof")

It will serve profiles and debug informations through http://ip:port/_pprof.

E.g.:

And finally, it is a standard way for listening and serving:

http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mux)
