Package restful , a lean package for creating REST-style WebServices without magic.
|
|
|
|
WebServices and Routes
|
|
|
|
A WebService has a collection of Route objects that dispatch incoming Http Requests to a function calls.
|
|
Typically, a WebService has a root path (e.g. /users) and defines common MIME types for its routes.
|
|
WebServices must be added to a container (see below) in order to handler Http requests from a server.
|
|
|
|
A Route is defined by a HTTP method, an URL path and (optionally) the MIME types it consumes (Content-Type) and produces (Accept).
|
|
This package has the logic to find the best matching Route and if found, call its Function.
|
|
|
|
ws := new(restful.WebService)
|
|
ws.
|
|
Path("/users").
|
|
Consumes(restful.MIME_JSON, restful.MIME_XML).
|
|
Produces(restful.MIME_JSON, restful.MIME_XML)
|
|
|
|
ws.Route(ws.GET("/{user-id}").To(u.findUser)) // u is a UserResource
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
// GET http://localhost:8080/users/1
|
|
func (u UserResource) findUser(request *restful.Request, response *restful.Response) {
|
|
id := request.PathParameter("user-id")
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The (*Request, *Response) arguments provide functions for reading information from the request and writing information back to the response.
|
|
|
|
See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-user-resource.go with a full implementation.
|
|
|
|
Regular expression matching Routes
|
|
|
|
A Route parameter can be specified using the format "uri/{var[:regexp]}" or the special version "uri/{var:*}" for matching the tail of the path.
|
|
For example, /persons/{name:[A-Z][A-Z]} can be used to restrict values for the parameter "name" to only contain capital alphabetic characters.
|
|
Regular expressions must use the standard Go syntax as described in the regexp package. (https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax)
|
|
This feature requires the use of a CurlyRouter.
|
|
|
|
Containers
|
|
|
|
A Container holds a collection of WebServices, Filters and a http.ServeMux for multiplexing http requests.
|
|
Using the statements "restful.Add(...) and restful.Filter(...)" will register WebServices and Filters to the Default Container.
|
|
The Default container of go-restful uses the http.DefaultServeMux.
|
|
You can create your own Container and create a new http.Server for that particular container.
|
|
|
|
container := restful.NewContainer()
|
|
server := &http.Server{Addr: ":8081", Handler: container}
|
|
|
|
Filters
|
|
|
|
A filter dynamically intercepts requests and responses to transform or use the information contained in the requests or responses.
|
|
You can use filters to perform generic logging, measurement, authentication, redirect, set response headers etc.
|
|
In the restful package there are three hooks into the request,response flow where filters can be added.
|
|
Each filter must define a FilterFunction:
|
|
|
|
func (req *restful.Request, resp *restful.Response, chain *restful.FilterChain)
|
|
|
|
Use the following statement to pass the request,response pair to the next filter or RouteFunction
|
|
|
|
chain.ProcessFilter(req, resp)
|
|
|
|
Container Filters
|
|
|
|
These are processed before any registered WebService.
|
|
|
|
// install a (global) filter for the default container (processed before any webservice)
|
|
restful.Filter(globalLogging)
|
|
|
|
WebService Filters
|
|
|
|
These are processed before any Route of a WebService.
|
|
|
|
// install a webservice filter (processed before any route)
|
|
ws.Filter(webserviceLogging).Filter(measureTime)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Route Filters
|
|
|
|
These are processed before calling the function associated with the Route.
|
|
|
|
// install 2 chained route filters (processed before calling findUser)
|
|
ws.Route(ws.GET("/{user-id}").Filter(routeLogging).Filter(NewCountFilter().routeCounter).To(findUser))
|
|
|
|
See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-filters.go with full implementations.
|
|
|
|
Response Encoding
|
|
|
|
Two encodings are supported: gzip and deflate. To enable this for all responses:
|
|
|
|
restful.DefaultContainer.EnableContentEncoding(true)
|
|
|
|
If a Http request includes the Accept-Encoding header then the response content will be compressed using the specified encoding.
|
|
Alternatively, you can create a Filter that performs the encoding and install it per WebService or Route.
|
|
|
|
See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-encoding-filter.go
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS support
|
|
|
|
By installing a pre-defined container filter, your Webservice(s) can respond to the OPTIONS Http request.
|
|
|
|
Filter(OPTIONSFilter())
|
|
|
|
CORS
|
|
|
|
By installing the filter of a CrossOriginResourceSharing (CORS), your WebService(s) can handle CORS requests.
|
|
|
|
cors := CrossOriginResourceSharing{ExposeHeaders: []string{"X-My-Header"}, CookiesAllowed: false, Container: DefaultContainer}
|
|
Filter(cors.Filter)
|
|
|
|
Error Handling
|
|
|
|
Unexpected things happen. If a request cannot be processed because of a failure, your service needs to tell via the response what happened and why.
|
|
For this reason HTTP status codes exist and it is important to use the correct code in every exceptional situation.
|
|
|
|
400: Bad Request
|
|
|
|
If path or query parameters are not valid (content or type) then use http.StatusBadRequest.
|
|
|
|
404: Not Found
|
|
|
|
Despite a valid URI, the resource requested may not be available
|
|
|
|
500: Internal Server Error
|
|
|
|
If the application logic could not process the request (or write the response) then use http.StatusInternalServerError.
|
|
|
|
405: Method Not Allowed
|
|
|
|
The request has a valid URL but the method (GET,PUT,POST,...) is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
406: Not Acceptable
|
|
|
|
The request does not have or has an unknown Accept Header set for this operation.
|
|
|
|
415: Unsupported Media Type
|
|
|
|
The request does not have or has an unknown Content-Type Header set for this operation.
|
|
|
|
ServiceError
|
|
|
|
In addition to setting the correct (error) Http status code, you can choose to write a ServiceError message on the response.
|
|
|
|
Performance options
|
|
|
|
This package has several options that affect the performance of your service. It is important to understand them and how you can change it.
|
|
|
|
restful.DefaultContainer.DoNotRecover(false)
|
|
|
|
DoNotRecover controls whether panics will be caught to return HTTP 500.
|
|
If set to false, the container will recover from panics.
|
|
Default value is true
|
|
|
|
restful.SetCompressorProvider(NewBoundedCachedCompressors(20, 20))
|
|
|
|
If content encoding is enabled then the default strategy for getting new gzip/zlib writers and readers is to use a sync.Pool.
|
|
Because writers are expensive structures, performance is even more improved when using a preloaded cache. You can also inject your own implementation.
|
|
|
|
Trouble shooting
|
|
|
|
This package has the means to produce detail logging of the complete Http request matching process and filter invocation.
|
|
Enabling this feature requires you to set an implementation of restful.StdLogger (e.g. log.Logger) instance such as:
|
|
|
|
restful.TraceLogger(log.New(os.Stdout, "[restful] ", log.LstdFlags|log.Lshortfile))
|
|
|
|
Logging
|
|
|
|
The restful.SetLogger() method allows you to override the logger used by the package. By default restful
|
|
uses the standard library `log` package and logs to stdout. Different logging packages are supported as
|
|
long as they conform to `StdLogger` interface defined in the `log` sub-package, writing an adapter for your
|
|
preferred package is simple.
