Go web Server made simple

fur

What is fur ?

fur is just a simple web server api, to make things less repetitive. No revolution of any kind in this package, just a simple way to build your Web application basics. fur isn't trying to be a framework at all! It is more of a toolkit (e.g Gorilla).

Changes

• Support URL Variables fur.AddRoute("/home/:id", Handler)

• Remove the log argument from fur.NewServer(), you can use your own logger or if you need a simple one you can use middle.Logger(). You just have to use it in fur.Stack(), if you want to use it on every handler.

• Now you can provide your own Multiplexer, you just need to implement the simple Plex interface. If you want to use bone which support url variables, you can use fur.NewServerMux()instead of fur.NewServer().

Features

• Middleware Chaining.
• Global Middleware declaration.
• Shorter version, for static file serving.
• Server instance as a Struct.
• Force a HTTP method on a route.
• Chaining Options on the Server at Creation.
• Simple Context Struct

Example

package main

import "github.com/squiidz/fur"

func main() {
	// You can use ` fur.NewServerMux() ` if you want the default ` bone.Mux `.
	server := fur.NewServer("localhost", ":8080", yourMux, option1, option2)
	// Set Global Middleware
	server.Stack(GlobalMiddleWare)

	// Serve Static files
	server.AddStatic("/public/", "../public")

	// Add multiple routes with chaining middleware, http Method and url variables
	server.AddRoute("/home", HomeHandler, Middleware1, Middleware2)
	server.AddRoute("/home/:id", DefaultHandler, MiddleWare3).Get()
	server.AddRoute("/data", DataHandler).Post()

	// Start Listening
	server.Start()
}

// Get the :id value
func GetUrlVar(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	value := req.URL.Query().Get("id")
	rw.Write([]byte(value))
}

Middlewares and Options

Every function that has the signature func (next http.Handler) http.Handler can be passed as a MiddleWare. Or pass a func (rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) to fur.Mutate().

Every function that has the signature func (s *fur.Server) can be passed as a Option.

Context

• Import github.com/squiidz/fur/context

• Create a New Context with cont := context.NewContext(req)

• Set some Key/Value cont.Set("key", "value")

• Find the already created context cont := context.FindContext(req)

• Retrive the key cont.Get("key")

• Check the example folder if you want to see it in action.
