I'd like to use httprouter with muxchain while keeping route parameters like /:user/
.
Take the following example:
func log(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Println("some logger")
}
func index(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(res, "Hi there, I love %s!", req.URL.Path[1:])
}
func main() {
logHandler := http.HandlerFunc(log)
indexHandler := http.HandlerFunc(index)
chain := muxchain.ChainHandlers(logHandler, indexHandler)
router := httprouter.New()
router.Handler("GET", "/:user", chain)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
}
When I visit http://localhost:8080/john
I obviously don't have access to ps httprouter.Params
That's because httprouter needs to see type httprouter.Handle
but the function is called with type http.Handler
.
Is there any way to use both packages together? The HttpRouter GitHub repo says
The only disadvantage is, that no parameter values can be retrieved when a http.Handler or http.HandlerFunc is used, since there is no efficient way to pass the values with the existing function parameters.
You would have to patch muxchain to accept httprouter.Handle
, but it's rather simple to create your own chain handler, for example:
func chain(funcs ...interface{}) httprouter.Handle {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, p httprouter.Params) {
for _, h := range funcs {
switch h := h.(type) {
case httprouter.Handle:
h(w, r, p)
case http.Handler:
h.ServeHTTP(w, r)
case func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request):
h(w, r)
default:
panic("wth")
}
}
}
}
If you strongly want to use that packages, you can try to do something like that:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gorilla/context"
"github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter"
"github.com/stephens2424/muxchain"
"net/http"
)
func log(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Printf("some logger")
}
func index(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
p := context.Get(req, "params").(httprouter.Params)
fmt.Fprintf(res, "Hi there, I love %s!", p.ByName("user"))
}
func MyContextHandler(h http.Handler) httprouter.Handle {
return func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request, p httprouter.Params) {
context.Set(req, "params", p)
h.ServeHTTP(res, req)
}
}
func main() {
logHandler := http.HandlerFunc(log)
indexHandler := http.HandlerFunc(index)
chain := muxchain.ChainHandlers(logHandler, indexHandler)
router := httprouter.New()
router.GET("/:user", MyContextHandler(chain))
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
}
