使用golang和mux制作自定义404

Here is my code about a little example webserver with golang and mux :

package main

import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    vars := mux.Vars(r)
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hi there, I love %s!", vars["username"])
}

func homeHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    if r.URL.Path != "/" {
        errorHandler(w, r, http.StatusNotFound)
        return
    }
    vars := mux.Vars(r)
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hi there, I love %s!", vars["username"])
}

func main() {
    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/help/{username}/", handler)
    http.Handle("/", r)
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

But I don't find a way on how to do a custom 404 page, i would like to make a custom 404.

But I can't make a r.HandleFunc("/",...) but it will be too greedy.

If anyone have any idea.

The Router exports a NotFoundHandler field which you can set to your custom handler.

r := mux.NewRouter()
r.NotFoundHandler = MyCustom404Handler

Set the NotFoundHandler to a handler method that returns your custom 404 page.

Sometimes, you spend a lot of time building a stack of middleware that does many things like logging, sending metrics and so... And the default 404 handler just skips all the middlewares.

I was able to solve this issue by re-setting the default 404 handler like this:

router := mux.NewRouter()
router.Use(someMiddleware())
// Re-define the default NotFound handler
router.NotFoundHandler = router.NewRoute().HandlerFunc(http.NotFound).GetHandler()

Now, the 404 default handler is also going thru all the middlewares.
