How can I apply middleware to a Go Gorilla Toolkit mux subrouter?
I have the following code:
router := mux.NewRouter().StrictSlash(true)
apiRouter := router.PathPrefix("/api/").Subrouter()
apiRouter.Methods(http.MethodGet).
Path("/api/path/to/handler").Handler(handleAPICall)
I want to apply a middleware handler that checks a security token, but only on those paths that start with /api
.
The following seems to work:
apiRouter := mux.NewRouter()
router.PathPrefix("/api/").Handler(http.StripPrefix("/api",
adapt(apiRouter, checkTokenHandler)))
apiRouter.Methods(http.MethodGet).
Path("/path/to/handler").Handler(handleAPICall)
// Note that `/api` has been removed from the path.
where
func adapt(h http.Handler, adapters ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
http.Handler {
for _, adapter := range adapters {
h = adapter(h)
}
return h
}
and
func checkTokenHandler(h http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
// Check the security cookie.
h.ServeHTTP(res, req)
})
}
