IRIS HAS BEEN ACQUIRED

Iris project has been acquired by a Dubai-based startup.

Both sides agree that every related public data should remain open for at least 30 days.

After the period of 30 days, company has the proprietary rights to delete or transfer this repository and all its related public data forever without any warnings.

The company may or may not reveal its true identity to the public.

Transaction of the public domains still in-progress:

View-accessed users can clone the current state of the project's public repositories and use without any warranties.

From now on, Original Author owns a high position to the company's table.

At any circumstances,

Original Author keeps the creation rights.

About the future of Iris

Clone the repository today because if I can't find a new lead maintainer for the v7.2 you, as community, will have to find a way to communicate about its future, the name "iris go" was taken by the company too, so it will be nice if the future main contributor change its name too, if you don't do it I will not beat you but I don't know the full company's law-plan for this, yet.

All donators, without any exception, will have my support for at least 6 months (for all iris versions), we have a private room at the chat.

Don't worry I will not let you down, we're trying to find a decent open-source contributor to continue the Iris' open-source codebase. I'm already in touch with some good gophers but If you're willing to maintain this project please send me details about your experience, general bio and your github username.

I am really thankful for all of your support to me and the community, all donations, all bug reports, all comments without any exception. I did proceeded with all my physical abilities so far but unfortunately there weren't enough for my survivor. I'm really sorry if the latest news made iris open-source community disappointed but you have to see things from my point view, I was one step before bankruptcy, I had no other choice but accept the offer.

Installation

The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.8

$ go get -u github.com/kataras/iris

Iris uses the vendor directory feature, so you get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes. For further installation support, please navigate here.

I'll be glad to talk with you about your awesome feature requests, open a new discussion, you will be heard!

Thanks in advance!

Buy me a cup of coffee?

Iris is free and open source but developing it has taken thousands of hours of my time and a large part of my sanity. If you feel this web framework useful to you, it would go a great way to ensuring that I can afford to take the time to continue to develop it.

I spend all my time in the construction of Iris, therefore I have no income value.

Feel free to send any amount through paypal:

Please check your e-mail after your donation.

Thanks for your gratitude and finance help ♡

Third Party Middleware

Iris has its own middleware form of func(ctx context.Context) but it's also compatible with all net/http middleware forms. See here.

I'm sure that each of you have, already, found his own favorite list but here's a small list of third-party handlers:

Middleware Author Description
tollbooth Didip Kerabat Generic middleware to rate-limit HTTP requests. Example
goth Mark Bates OAuth, OAuth2 authentication. Example
binding Matt Holt Data binding from HTTP requests into structs
cloudwatch Colin Steele AWS cloudwatch metrics middleware
csp Awake Networks Content Security Policy (CSP) support
delay Jeff Martinez Add delays/latency to endpoints. Useful when testing effects of high latency
New Relic Go Agent Yadvendar Champawat Official New Relic Go Agent (currently in beta)
gorelic Jingwen Owen Ou New Relic agent for Go runtime
JWT Auth0 Middleware checks for a JWT on the Authorization header on incoming requests and decodes it. Example

Feel free to put up a PR your middleware!

Testing

The httptest package is your way for end-to-end HTTP testing, it uses the httpexpect library created by our friend, gavv.

A simple test is located to ./_examples/intermediate/httptest/main_test.go

Philosophy

The Iris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs. Keep note that, today, iris is faster than apache+nginx itself.

Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most popular template engines, you can quickly craft your perfect application.

People

Contact

Besides the fact that we have a community chat for questions or reports and ideas, stackoverflow section for generic go+iris questions and the iris support for bug reports and feature requests, you can also contact with me, as a person who is always open to help you:

Version

Current: 7.2.0

Each new release is pushed to the master. It stays there until the next version. When a next version is released then the previous version goes to its own branch with gopkg.in as its import path (and its own vendor folder), in order to keep it working "for-ever".

Community members can request additional features or report a bug fix for a specific iris version.

Should I upgrade my Iris?

Developers are not forced to use the latest Iris version, they can use any version in production, they can update at any time they want.

Testers should upgrade immediately, if you're willing to use Iris in production you can wait a little more longer, transaction should be as safe as possible.

Where can I find older versions?

Each Iris version is independent. Only bug fixes, Router's API and experience are kept.

Previous versions can be found at releases page.

    ctx.View("users/profile.html")
}

func getUserByID(ctx context.Context) {
    userID := ctx.Params().Get("id") // Or convert directly using: .Values().GetInt/GetInt64 etc...
    // your own db fetch here instead of user :=...
    user := User{Username: "username" + userID}

    ctx.XML(user)
}

func createUser(ctx context.Context) {
    var user User
    err := ctx.ReadForm(&user)
    if err != nil {

    // with {{ . }} equals to the User object, i.e {{ .Username }} , {{ .Firstname}} etc...
    ctx.ViewData("", user)
    ctx.View("users/create_verification.html")
}

Routing

All HTTP methods are supported, developers can also register handlers for same paths for different methods. The first parameter is the HTTP Method, second parameter is the request path of the route, third variadic parameter should contains one or more context.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server.

Example code:

app := iris.New()

app.Handle("GET", "/contact", func(ctx context.Context){
    ctx.HTML("<h1> Hello from /contact </h1>")
})

In order to make things easier for the user, Iris provides functions for all HTTP Methods. The first parameter is the request path of the route, second variadic parameter should contains one or more context.Handler executed by the registered order when a user requests for that specific resouce path from the server.

Example code:

app := iris.New()

// Method: "GET"
app.Get("/", handler)

// Method: "POST"
app.Post("/", handler)

// Method: "PUT"
app.Put("/", handler)

// Method: "DELETE"
app.Delete("/", handler)

// Method: "OPTIONS"
app.Options("/", handler)

// Method: "TRACE"
app.Trace("/", handler)

// Method: "CONNECT"
app.Connect("/", handler)

// Method: "HEAD"
app.Head("/", handler)

// Method: "PATCH"
app.Patch("/", handler)

// register the route for all HTTP Methods
app.Any("/", handler)

func handler(ctx context.Context){
ctx.Writef("Hello from method: %s and path: %s", ctx.Method(), ctx.Path())
}

Grouping Routes

A set of routes that are being groupped by path prefix can (optionally) share the same middleware handlers and template layout. A group can have a nested group too.

`.Party` is being used to group routes, developers can declare an unlimited number of (nested) groups.

Example code:

users:= app.Party("/users", myAuthHandler)

// http://myhost.com/users/42/profile
users.Get("/{userid:int}/profile", userProfileHandler)
// http://myhost.com/users/messages/1
users.Get("/inbox/{messageid:int}", userMessageHandler)

app.Run(iris.Addr("myhost.com:80"))

Custom HTTP Errors

Iris developers are able to register their own handlers for http statuses like 404 not found, 500 internal server error and so on.

Example code:

// when 404 then render the template $templatedir/errors/404.html
app.OnErrorCode(iris.StatusNotFound, func(ctx context.Context){
    ctx.View("errors/404.html")
})

app.OnErrorCode(500, func(ctx context.Context){
    // ...
})

Basic HTTP API

With the help of Iris's expressionist router you can build any form of API you desire, with safety.

Example code:

package main

import (
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/context"
)

func main() {
    app := iris.New()

    // registers a custom handler for 404 not found http (error) status code,
    // fires when route not found or manually by ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusNotFound).
    app.OnErrorCode(iris.StatusNotFound, notFoundHandler)

    // GET -> HTTP Method
    // / -> Path
    // func(ctx context.Context) -> The route's handler.
    //
    // Third receiver should contains the route's handler(s), they are executed by order.
    app.Handle("GET", "/", func(ctx context.Context) {
        // navigate to the middle of $GOPATH/src/github.com/brucejrc/iris/context/context.go
        // to overview all context's method (there a lot of them, read that and you will learn how iris works too)
        ctx.HTML("Hello from " + ctx.Path()) // Hello from /
    })

    app.Get("/home", func(ctx context.Context) {
        ctx.Writef(`Same as app.Handle("GET", "/", [...])`)
    })

    app.Get("/donate", donateHandler, donateFinishHandler)

    // Pssst, don't forget dynamic-path example for more "magic"!
    app.Get("/api/users/{userid:int min(1)}", func(ctx context.Context) {
        userID, err := ctx.Params().GetInt("userid")

        if err != nil {
            ctx.Writef("error while trying to parse userid parameter," +
                "this will never happen if :int is being used because if it's not integer it will fire Not Found automatically.")
            ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusBadRequest)
            return
        }

        ctx.JSON(map[string]interface{}{
            // you can pass any custom structured go value of course.
            "user_id": userID,
        })
    })
    // app.Post("/", func(ctx context.Context){}) -> for POST http method.
    // app.Put("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "PUT" http method.
    // app.Delete("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "DELETE" http method.
    // app.Options("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "OPTIONS" http method.
    // app.Trace("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "TRACE" http method.
    // app.Head("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "HEAD" http method.
    // app.Connect("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "CONNECT" http method.
    // app.Patch("/", func(ctx context.Context){})-> for "PATCH" http method.
    // app.Any("/", func(ctx context.Context){}) for all http methods.

    // More than one route can contain the same path with a different http mapped method.
    // You can catch any route creation errors with:
    // route, err := app.Get(...)
    // set a name to a route: route.Name = "myroute"

    // You can also group routes by path prefix, sharing middleware(s) and done handlers.

    adminRoutes := app.Party("/admin", adminMiddleware)

    adminRoutes.Done(func(ctx context.Context) { // executes always last if ctx.Next()
        ctx.Application().Log("response sent to " + ctx.Path())
    })
    // adminRoutes.Layout("/views/layouts/admin.html") // set a view layout for these routes, see more at intermediate/view examples.

    // GET: http://localhost:8080/admin
    adminRoutes.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) {
        // [...]
        ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusOK) // default is 200 == iris.StatusOK
        ctx.HTML("<h1>Hello from admin/</h1>")

        ctx.Next() // in order to execute the party's "Done" Handler(s)
    })

    // GET: http://localhost:8080/admin/login
    adminRoutes.Get("/login", func(ctx context.Context) {
        // [...]
    })
    // POST: http://localhost:8080/admin/login
    adminRoutes.Post("/login", func(ctx context.Context) {
        // [...]
    })

    // subdomains, easier than ever, should add localhost or 127.0.0.1 into your hosts file,
    // etc/hosts on unix or C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts on windows.
    v1 := app.Party("v1.")
    { // braces are optional, it's just type of style, to group the routes visually.

        // http://v1.localhost:8080
        v1.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) {
            ctx.HTML("Version 1 API. go to <a href='" + ctx.Path() + "/api" + "'>/api/users</a>")
        })

        usersAPI := v1.Party("/api/users")

Parameterized Path

At the previous example, we've seen static routes, group of routes, subdomains, wildcard subdomains, a small example of parameterized path with a single known paramete and custom http errors, now it's time to see wildcard parameters and macros.

Iris, like net/http std package registers route's handlers by a Handler, the Iris' type of handler is just a func(ctx context.Context) where context comes from github.com/brucejrc/iris/context. Until go 1.9 you will have to import that package too, after go 1.9 this will be not be necessary.

Iris has the easiest and the most powerful routing process you have ever meet.

At the same time, Iris has its own interpeter(yes like a programming language) for route's path syntax and their dynamic path parameters parsing and evaluation, I am calling them "macros" for shortcut. How? It calculates its needs and if not any special regexp needed then it just registers the route with the low-level path syntax, otherwise it pre-compiles the regexp and adds the necessary middleware(s).

Standard macro types for parameters:

+------------------------+
| {param:string}         |
+------------------------+
string type
anything

+------------------------+
| {param:int}            |
+------------------------+
int type
only numbers (0-9)

+------------------------+
| {param:alphabetical}   |
+------------------------+
alphabetical/letter type
letters only (upper or lowercase)

+------------------------+
| {param:file}           |
+------------------------+
file type
letters (upper or lowercase)
numbers (0-9)
underscore (_)
dash (-)
point (.)
no spaces ! or other character

+------------------------+
| {param:path}           |
+------------------------+
path type
anything, should be the last part, more than one path segment,
i.e: /path1/path2/path3 , ctx.Params().GetString("param") == "/path1/path2/path3"

if type is missing then parameter's type is defaulted to string, so {param} == {param:string}.

If a function not found on that type then the "string"'s types functions are being used. i.e:

{param:int min(3)}

Besides the fact that Iris provides the basic types and some default "macro funcs" you are able to register your own too!.

Register a named path parameter function:

app.Macros().Int.RegisterFunc("min", func(argument int) func(paramValue string) bool {
    [...]
    return true/false -> true means valid.
})

at the func(argument ...) you can have any standard type, it will be validated before the server starts so don't care about performance here, the only thing it runs at serve time is the returning func(paramValue string) bool.

{param:string equal(iris)} , "iris" will be the argument here:
app.Macros().String.RegisterFunc("equal", func(argument string) func(paramValue string) bool {
    return func(paramValue string){ return argument == paramValue }
})

Example code:

	// you can use the "string" type which is valid for a single path parameter that can be anything.
	app.Get("/username/{name}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		ctx.Writef("Hello %s", ctx.Params().Get("name"))
	}) // type is missing = {name:string}

	// Let's register our first macro attached to int macro type.
	// "min" = the function
	// "minValue" = the argument of the function
	// func(string) bool = the macro's path parameter evaluator, this executes in serve time when
	// a user requests a path which contains the :int macro type with the min(...) macro parameter function.
	app.Macros().Int.RegisterFunc("min", func(minValue int) func(string) bool {
		// do anything before serve here [...]
		// at this case we don't need to do anything
		return func(paramValue string) bool {
			n, err := strconv.Atoi(paramValue)
			if err != nil {
				return false
			}
			return n >= minValue
		}
	})

	// http://localhost:8080/profile/id>=1
	// this will throw 404 even if it's found as route on : /profile/0, /profile/blabla, /profile/-1
	// macro parameter functions are optional of course.
	app.Get("/profile/{id:int min(1)}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		// second parameter is the error but it will always nil because we use macros,
		// the validaton already happened.
		id, _ := ctx.Params().GetInt("id")
		ctx.Writef("Hello id: %d", id)
	})

	// to change the error code per route's macro evaluator:
	app.Get("/profile/{id:int min(1)}/friends/{friendid:int min(1) else 504}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		id, _ := ctx.Params().GetInt("id")
		friendid, _ := ctx.Params().GetInt("friendid")
		ctx.Writef("Hello id: %d looking for friend id: ", id, friendid)
	}) // this will throw e 504 error code instead of 404 if all route's macros not passed.

	// http://localhost:8080/game/a-zA-Z/level/0-9
	// remember, alphabetical is lowercase or uppercase letters only.
	app.Get("/game/{name:alphabetical}/level/{level:int}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		ctx.Writef("name: %s | level: %s", ctx.Params().Get("name"), ctx.Params().Get("level"))
	})

	// let's use a trivial custom regexp that validates a single path parameter
	// which its value is only lowercase letters.

	// http://localhost:8080/lowercase/kataras
	app.Get("/lowercase/{name:string regexp(^[a-z]+)}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		ctx.Writef("name should be only lowercase, otherwise this handler will never executed: %s", ctx.Params().Get("name"))
	})

	// http://localhost:8080/single_file/app.js
	app.Get("/single_file/{myfile:file}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		ctx.Writef("file type validates if the parameter value has a form of a file name, got: %s", ctx.Params().Get("myfile"))
	})

	// http://localhost:8080/myfiles/any/directory/here/
	// this is the only macro type that accepts any number of path segments.
	app.Get("/myfiles/{directory:path}", func(ctx context.Context) {
		ctx.Writef("path type accepts any number of path segments, path after /myfiles/ is: %s", ctx.Params().Get("directory"))
	})

    // for wildcard path (any number of path segments) without validation you can use:
	// /myfiles/*directory
	// "{param}"'s performance is exactly the same of ":param"'s.

	// alternatives -> ":param" for single path parameter and "*paramPath" for wildcard path parameter
	// acquire them by ctx.Params().Get as always.

	if err := app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080")); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

A path parameter name should contain only alphabetical letters, symbols, containing '_' and numbers are NOT allowed. If route failed to be registered, the app will panic without any warnings if you didn't catch the second return value(error) on .Handle/.Get....

Last, do not confuse ctx.Values() with ctx.Params(). Path parameter's values goes to ctx.Params() and context's local storage that can be used to communicate between handlers and middleware(s) goes to ctx.Values(), path parameters and the rest of any custom values are separated for your own good.

Run

$ go run main.go

Static Files

// StaticServe serves a directory as web resource
// it's the simpliest form of the Static* functions
// Almost same usage as StaticWeb
// accepts only one required parameter which is the systemPath,
// the same path will be used to register the GET and HEAD method routes.
// If second parameter is empty, otherwise the requestPath is the second parameter
// it uses gzip compression (compression on each request, no file cache).
//
// Returns the GET *Route.
StaticServe(systemPath string, requestPath ...string) (*Route, error)

// StaticContent registers a GET and HEAD method routes to the requestPath
// that are ready to serve raw static bytes, memory cached.
//
// Returns the GET *Route.
StaticContent(reqPath string, cType string, content []byte) (*Route, error)

// StaticEmbedded  used when files are distributed inside the app executable, using go-bindata mostly
// First parameter is the request path, the path which the files in the vdir will be served to, for example "/static"
// Second parameter is the (virtual) directory path, for example "./assets"
// Third parameter is the Asset function
// Forth parameter is the AssetNames function.
//
// Returns the GET *Route.
//
// Example: https://github.com/brucejrc/iris/tree/master/_examples/intermediate/serve-embedded-files
StaticEmbedded(requestPath string, vdir string, assetFn func(name string) ([]byte, error), namesFn func() []string) (*Route, error)

// Favicon serves static favicon
// accepts 2 parameters, second is optional
// favPath (string), declare the system directory path of the __.ico
// requestPath (string), it's the route's path, by default this is the "/favicon.ico" because some browsers tries to get this by default first,
// you can declare your own path if you have more than one favicon (desktop, mobile and so on)
//
// this func will add a route for you which will static serve the /yuorpath/yourfile.ico to the /yourfile.ico
// (nothing special that you can't handle by yourself).
// Note that you have to call it on every favicon you have to serve automatically (desktop, mobile and so on).
//
// Returns the GET *Route.
Favicon(favPath string, requestPath ...string) (*Route, error)

// StaticWeb returns a handler that serves HTTP requests
// with the contents of the file system rooted at directory.
//
// first parameter: the route path
// second parameter: the system directory
// third OPTIONAL parameter: the exception routes
//      (= give priority to these routes instead of the static handler)
// for more options look app.StaticHandler.
//
//     app.StaticWeb("/static", "./static")
//
// As a special case, the returned file server redirects any request
// ending in "/index.html" to the same path, without the final
// "index.html".
//
// StaticWeb calls the StaticHandler(systemPath, listingDirectories: false, gzip: false ).
//
// Returns the GET *Route.
StaticWeb(requestPath string, systemPath string, exceptRoutes ...*Route) (*Route, error)

Example code:

package main

import (
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/context"
)

func main() {
    app := iris.New()

    // This will serve the ./static/favicons/iris_32_32.ico to: localhost:8080/favicon.ico
    app.Favicon("./static/favicons/iris_32_32.ico")

    // app.Favicon("./static/favicons/iris_32_32.ico", "/favicon_48_48.ico")
    // This will serve the ./static/favicons/iris_32_32.ico to: localhost:8080/favicon_48_48.ico

    app.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) {
        ctx.HTML(`<a href="/favicon.ico"> press here to see the favicon.ico</a>.
        At some browsers like chrome, it should be visible at the top-left side of the browser's window,
        because some browsers make requests to the /favicon.ico automatically,
        so Iris serves your favicon in that path too (you can change it).`)
    }) // if favicon doesn't show to you, try to clear your browser's cache.

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

More examples can be found here: https://github.com/brucejrc/iris/tree/master/_examples/beginner/file-server

Middleware Ecosystem

Middleware is just a concept of ordered chain of handlers. Middleware can be registered globally, per-party, per-subdomain and per-route.

Example code:

// globally
// before any routes, appends the middleware to all routes
app.Use(func(ctx context.Context){
   // ... any code here

   ctx.Next() // in order to continue to the next handler,
   // if that is missing then the next in chain handlers will be not executed,
   // useful for authentication middleware
})

// globally
// after or before any routes, prepends the middleware to all routes
app.UseGlobal(handler1, handler2, handler3)

// per-route
app.Post("/login", authenticationHandler, loginPageHandler)

// per-party(group of routes)
users := app.Party("/users", usersMiddleware)
users.Get("/", usersIndex)

// per-subdomain
mysubdomain := app.Party("mysubdomain.", firstMiddleware)
mysubdomain.Use(secondMiddleware)
mysubdomain.Get("/", mysubdomainIndex)

// per wildcard, dynamic subdomain
dynamicSub := app.Party(".*", firstMiddleware, secondMiddleware)
dynamicSub.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context){
  ctx.Writef("Hello from subdomain: "+ ctx.Subdomain())
})

Iris is able to wrap and convert any external, third-party Handler you used to use to your web application. Let's convert the https://github.com/rs/cors net/http external middleware which returns a `next form` handler.

Example code:

package main

import (
    "github.com/rs/cors"

    "github.com/brucejrc/iris"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/context"
)

func main() {

    app := iris.New()
    corsOptions := cors.Options{
        AllowedOrigins:   []string{"*"},
        AllowCredentials: true,
    }

    corsWrapper := cors.New(corsOptions).ServeHTTP

    app.WrapRouter(corsWrapper)

    v1 := app.Party("/api/v1")
    {
        v1.Get("/", h)
        v1.Put("/put", h)
        v1.Post("/post", h)
    }

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

func h(ctx context.Context) {
    ctx.Application().Log(ctx.Path())
    ctx.Writef("Hello from %s", ctx.Path())
}

View Engine

Iris supports 5 template engines out-of-the-box, developers can still use any external golang template engine, as `context.ResponseWriter()` is an `io.Writer`.

All of these five template engines have common features with common API, like Layout, Template Funcs, Party-specific layout, partial rendering and more.

The standard html,
its template parser is the golang.org/pkg/html/template/.

Django,
its template parser is the github.com/flosch/pongo2

Pug(Jade),
its template parser is the github.com/Joker/jade

Handlebars,
its template parser is the github.com/aymerick/raymond

Amber,
its template parser is the github.com/eknkc/amber

Example code:

package main

import (
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/context"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/view"
)

func main() {
    app := iris.New() // defaults to these

    // - standard html  | view.HTML(...)
    // - django         | view.Django(...)
    // - pug(jade)      | view.Pug(...)
    // - handlebars     | view.Handlebars(...)
    // - amber          | view.Amber(...)

    tmpl := view.HTML("./templates", ".html")
    tmpl.Reload(true) // reload templates on each request (development mode)
    // default template funcs are:
    //
    // - {{ urlpath "mynamedroute" "pathParameter_ifneeded" }}
    // - {{ render "header.html" }}
    // - {{ render_r "header.html" }} // partial relative path to current page
    // - {{ yield }}
    // - {{ current }}
    tmpl.AddFunc("greet", func(s string) string {
        return "Greetings " + s + "!"
    })
    app.AttachView(tmpl)

    app.Get("/", hi)

    // http://localhost:8080
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithCharset("UTF-8")) // defaults to that but you can change it.
}

func hi(ctx context.Context) {
    ctx.ViewData("Title", "Hi Page")
    ctx.ViewData("Name", "Iris") // {{.Name}} will render: Iris
    // ctx.ViewData("", myCcustomStruct{})
    ctx.View("hi.html")
}

View engine supports bundled(https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata) template files too. go-bindata gives you two functions, asset and assetNames, these can be setted to each of the template engines using the `.Binary` func.

Example code:

package main

import (
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/context"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/view"
)

func main() {
    app := iris.New()
    // $ go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
    // $ go-bindata ./templates/...
    // $ go build
    // $ ./embedding-templates-into-app
    // html files are not used, you can delete the folder and run the example
    app.AttachView(view.HTML("./templates", ".html").Binary(Asset, AssetNames))
    app.Get("/", hi)

    // http://localhost:8080
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

type page struct {
    Title, Name string
}

func hi(ctx context.Context) {
    ctx.ViewData("", page{Title: "Hi Page", Name: "iris"})
    ctx.View("hi.html")
}

A real example can be found here: https://github.com/brucejrc/iris/tree/master/_examples/intermediate/view/embedding-templates-into-app.

Enable auto-reloading of templates on each request. Useful while developers are in dev mode as they no neeed to restart their app on every template edit.

Example code:

pugEngine := view.Pug("./templates", ".jade")
pugEngine.Reload(true) // <--- set to true to re-build the templates on each request.
app.AttachView(pugEngine)

Each one of these template engines has different options located here: https://github.com/brucejrc/iris/tree/master/view .

Sessions

This example will show how to store and access data from a session.

You don’t need any third-party library, but If you want you can use any session manager compatible or not.

In this example we will only allow authenticated users to view our secret message on the /secret page. To get access to it, the will first have to visit /login to get a valid session cookie, which logs him in. Additionally he can visit /logout to revoke his access to our secret message.

Example code:

// sessions.go
package main

import (
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/context"
    "github.com/brucejrc/iris/sessions"
)

var (
    key = "my_sessionid"
)

func secret(ctx context.Context) {

    // Check if user is authenticated
    if auth, _ := ctx.Session().GetBoolean("authenticated"); !auth {
        ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusForbidden)
        return
    }

    // Print secret message
    ctx.Writef("The cake is a lie!")
}

func login(ctx context.Context) {
    session := ctx.Session()

    // Authentication goes here
    // ...

    // Set user as authenticated
    session.Set("authenticated", true)
}

func logout(ctx context.Context) {
    session := ctx.Session()

    // Revoke users authentication
    session.Set("authenticated", false)
}

func main() {
    app := iris.New()

    sess := sessions.New(sessions.Config{Cookie: key})
    app.AttachSessionManager(sess)

    app.Get("/secret", secret)
    app.Get("/login", login)
    app.Get("/logout", logout)

    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

Running the example:

$ go run sessions.go

$ curl -s http://localhost:8080/secret
Forbidden

$ curl -s -I http://localhost:8080/login
Set-Cookie: mysessionid=MTQ4NzE5Mz...

$ curl -s --cookie "mysessionid=MTQ4NzE5Mz..." http://localhost:8080/secret
The cake is a lie!

Functions

func ToHandler

func ToHandler(handler interface{}) context.Handler

ToHandler converts native http.Handler & http.HandlerFunc to context.Handler.

Supported form types:

.ToHandler(h http.Handler)
.ToHandler(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request))
.ToHandler(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc))

Deprecated. Use the "core/handlerconv" package instead, equivalent to `ToHandler` is its `FromStd` function.

Types

type Application

type Application struct {
	Scheduler host.Scheduler
	// routing embedded | exposing APIBuilder's and Router's public API.
	*router.APIBuilder
	*router.Router
	ContextPool *context.Pool

	Shutdown func(stdContext.Context) error
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Application is responsible to manage the state of the application. It contains and handles all the necessary parts to create a fast web server.

func Default

func Default() *Application

Default returns a new Application instance. Unlike `New` this method prepares some things for you. std html templates from the "./templates" directory, session manager is attached with a default expiration of 7 days, recovery and (request) logger handlers(middleware) are being registered.

func New

func New() *Application

New creates and returns a fresh empty Iris *Application instance.

func (*Application) AttachLogger

func (app *Application) AttachLogger(logWriter io.Writer)

AttachLogger attachs a new logger to the framework.

func (*Application) AttachSessionManager

func (app *Application) AttachSessionManager(manager sessions.Sessions)

AttachSessionManager registers a session manager to the framework which is used for flash messages too.

See context.Session too.

func (*Application) AttachView

func (app *Application) AttachView(viewEngine view.Engine) error

AttachView should be used to register view engines mapping to a root directory and the template file(s) extension. Returns an error on failure, otherwise nil.

func (*Application) Build

func (app *Application) Build() (err error)

Build sets up, once, the framework. It builds the default router with its default macros and the template functions that are very-closed to Iris.

func (*Application) ConfigurationReadOnly

func (app *Application) ConfigurationReadOnly() context.ConfigurationReadOnly

ConfigurationReadOnly returns a structure which doesn't allow writing.

func (*Application) Configure

func (app *Application) Configure(configurators ...Configurator) *Application

Configure can called when modifications to the framework instance needed. It accepts the framework instance and returns an error which if it's not nil it's printed to the logger. See configuration.go for more.

Returns itself in order to be used like app:= New().Configure(...)

func (*Application) Listen

func (app *Application) Listen(addr string)

Listen starts the standalone http server which listens to the addr parameter which as the form of host:port

Deprecated. Use `Run` instead.

func (*Application) ListenLETSENCRYPT

func (app *Application) ListenLETSENCRYPT(addr string, cacheDirOptional ...string)

ListenLETSENCRYPT starts the server listening at the specific nat address using key & certification taken from the letsencrypt.org 's servers it's also starts a second 'http' server to redirect all 'http://$ADDR/$PATH' to the' https://$ADDR/$PATH' it creates a cache file to store the certifications, for performance reasons, this file by-default is "./certcache" if you skip the second parameter then the cache file is "./letsencrypt.cache" if you want to disable cache then simple pass as second argument an empty empty string ""

Deprecated. Use `Run` instead.

func (*Application) ListenTLS

func (app *Application) ListenTLS(addr string, certFile, keyFile string)

ListenTLS starts the secure server with provided certificates, if you use this method the requests of the form of 'http://' will fail only https:// connections are allowed which listens to the addr parameter which as the form of host:port

Deprecated. Use `Run` instead.

func (*Application) ListenUNIX

func (app *Application) ListenUNIX(socketFile string, mode os.FileMode)

ListenUNIX starts the server listening to the new requests using a 'socket file'. Note: this works only on unix.

Deprecated. Use `Run` instead.

func (*Application) Log

func (app *Application) Log(format string, a ...interface{})

Log sends a message to the defined io.Writer logger, it's just a help function for internal use but it can be used to a cusotom middleware too.

See AttachLogger too.

func (*Application) NewHost

func (app *Application) NewHost(srv *http.Server) *host.Supervisor

NewHost accepts a standar *http.Server object, completes the necessary missing parts of that "srv" and returns a new, ready-to-use, host (supervisor).

func (*Application) OnStatusCode

func (app *Application) OnStatusCode(statusCode int, handler context.Handler)

OnStatusCode registers an error http status code based on the "statusCode" >= 400. The handler is being wrapepd by a generic handler which will try to reset the body if recorder was enabled and/or disable the gzip if gzip response recorder was active.

Deprecated. Use `OnErrorCode` instead.

func (*Application) Run

func (app *Application) Run(serve Runner, withOrWithout ...Configurator) error

Run builds the framework and starts the desired `Runner` with or without configuration edits.

Run should be called only once per Application instance, it blocks like http.Server.

If more than one server needed to run on the same iris instance then create a new host and run it manually by `go NewHost(*http.Server).Serve/ListenAndServe` etc... or use an already created host: h := NewHost(*http.Server) Run(Raw(h.ListenAndServe), WithoutBanner, WithCharset("UTF-8"))

The Application can go online with any type of server or iris's host with the help of the following runners: `Listener`, `Server`, `Addr`, `TLS`, `AutoTLS` and `Raw`.

func (*Application) SPA

func (app *Application) SPA(assetHandler context.Handler)

SPA accepts an "assetHandler" which can be the result of an app.StaticHandler or app.StaticEmbeddedHandler. It wraps the router and checks: if it;s an asset, if the request contains "." (this behavior can be changed via /core/router.NewSPABuilder), if the request is index, redirects back to the "/" in order to let the root handler to be executed, if it's not an asset then it executes the router, so the rest of registered routes can be executed without conflicts with the file server ("assetHandler").

Use that instead of `StaticWeb` for root "/" file server.

Example: https://github.com/brucejrc/iris/tree/master/_examples/beginner/file-server/single-page-application

func (*Application) Serve

func (app *Application) Serve(l net.Listener) error
