Install

go get github.com/hyperdriven/hyperdrive

OR

glide get github.com/hyperdriven/hyperdrive

Config

Configuration of core features are done via Environment Variables, in accordence with 12 factor principles.

  • HYPERDRIVE_ENV: (default: development, type: string) The stage in your deployment pipeline the api is currently running in. A value of production changes behviour for some features (such as whether stack traces are logged during panic recovery). Other values, such as staging, can be used but currently have no meanin in the framework other than the one you give it in your own code.
  • PORT: (default: 5000, type: int) The port the server should listen on.
  • GZIP_LEVEL: (default: -1, type: int) Accepts a value between -2 and 9. Invalid values will be silently discarded and the default of -1 will be used. More info on compression levels can be found in the docs, but corresponds to zlib compression levels.
  • CORS_ENABLED: (default: true, type: bool) Set this to false to disable CORS support.
  • CORS_HEADERS: (type: string) A comma-seperated list of headers to allow and expose during CORS requests. These will be appended to the default set of headers that are always allowed: Accept, Accept-Language, Content-Language, and Content-Type.
  • CORS_ORIGINS: (default: *, type: string) A comma-seperated list of origins to allow during CORS requests. These will replace the default value, which is to allow all origins.
  • CORS_CREDENTIALS: (default: true, type: bool) Set this to false to disable authenticated CORS requests.

Overview

Package hyperdrive is an opinonated micro-framework for writing hypermedia APIs. It attempts to embrace the best of Hypermedia, especially the seperation of client and server, encapsulated in the principle of HATEOAS (HTTP as the Engine of Application State).

Hyperdrive APIs are resource-oriented, make heavy use of `http.Handler` middleware patterns, and takes advantage of HTTP verbs, headers, and other transport specific features, as much as possible. Other than that, it assumes nothing about how you store and retrieve your endpoint's hypermedia respresentations.

Functions

func GetContentTypeJSON added in v0.0.4

func GetContentTypeJSON(api API, e Endpointer) string

GetContentTypeJSON returns the json Content-Type an endpoint can accept and respond with. The Content-Type will include the versioned vendor Media Type returned by API.GetMediaType() with a json extension.

func GetContentTypeXML added in v0.0.4

func GetContentTypeXML(api API, e Endpointer) string

GetContentTypeXML returns the xml Content-Type an endpoint can accept and respond with. The Content-Type will include the versioned vendor Media Type returned by API.GetMediaType() with an xml extension.

func GetContentTypes added in v0.0.4

func GetContentTypes(api API, e Endpointer) []string

GetContentTypes returns a slice of Content-Types that the endpoint can accept and respond with. The Content-Types will include both the versioned vendor Media Type returned by API.GetMediaType() for both json and xml.

func GetContentTypesList added in v0.0.4

func GetContentTypesList(api API, e Endpointer) string

GetContentTypesList returns a list of Content-Type strings that the endpoint can accept and respond with. The Content-Types will include both the versioned vendor Media Type returned by API.GetMediaType() for both json and xml.

func GetErrorText added in v0.0.4

func GetErrorText(status int, err error) string

func GetMediaType added in v0.0.4

func GetMediaType(api API, e Endpointer) string

GetMediaType returns a media type string, sans any content-type extension (e.g. json), based on the name of the API, the Endpoint, and the Endpoint's version. The Media Type produced will be used for Content Negotiation, via the Accept header, as well as routing to the appropriate endpoint, when the media type appears in the request headers (e.g. Accept and Content-Type). It will also be used, after content negotation in the Content-Type response header.

func GetMethods added in v0.0.3

func GetMethods(e Endpointer) []string

GetMethods returns a slice of the methods an Endpoint supports.

func GetMethodsList added in v0.0.3

func GetMethodsList(e Endpointer) string

GetMethodsList returns a list of the methods an Endpoint supports.

func NewMethodHandler added in v0.0.3

func NewMethodHandler(e Endpointer) http.Handler

NewMethodHandler sets the correct http.Handler for each method, depending on the interfaces the Enpointer supports. It returns an http.Handler, ready to be served directly, wrapped in other middleware, etc.

func Respond added in v0.0.4

func Respond(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, status int, body interface{}, headers ...http.Header) (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)

Respond is a helper function to make it easy for an Endpointer's method handler (e.g. GetHandler) to respond with the appropriate Content-Type.

Types

type API

type API struct {
	Name   string
	Desc   string
	Router *mux.Router
	Server *http.Server
	Root   *RootResource
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

API is a logical collection of one or more endpoints, connecting requests to the response handlers using a gorlla mux Router.

func NewAPI

func NewAPI(name string, desc string) API

NewAPI creates an instance of API, with an initialized Router, Config, Server, and RootResource.

func (*API) AddEndpoint

func (api *API) AddEndpoint(e Endpointer)

AddEndpoint registers endpoints, ensuring that endpoints automatically respond with a 405 error if the endpoint does not support a particular HTTP method.

func (*API) CompressionMiddleware added in v0.0.3

func (api *API) CompressionMiddleware(h http.Handler) http.Handler

CompressionMiddleware wraps the given http.Handler and returns a gzipped response if the client requests it with the Accept-Encoding header. The compression level is set to to 1, by default. You can configure this though the GZIP_LEVEL environment variable, and set it to an integer between -2 and 9.

Following zlib, levels range from 1 (Best Speed) to 9 (Best Compression); higher levels typically run slower but compress more.

-1 is the Default Compression level, and is also used if an invalid value is configured via GZIP_LEVEL.

0 attemps no compression, and only adds the necessary DEFLATE framing.

-2 disables Lempel-Ziv match searching and only performs Huffman entropy encoding. This is useful when compressing data that has already been compressed with an LZ style algorithm, such as Snappy or LZ4.

More info can be found in the docs for the compress/flate package: https://golang.org/pkg/compress/flate/
