Why goa?

There are a number of good Go packages for writing modular web services out there so why build another one? Glad you asked! The existing packages tend to focus on providing small and highly modular frameworks that are purposefully narrowly focused. The intent is to keep things simple and to avoid mixing concerns.

This is great when writing simple APIs that tend to change rarely. However there are a number of problems that any non trivial API implementation must address. Things like request validation, response media type definitions or documentation are hard to do in a way that stays consistent and flexible as the API surface evolves.

goa takes a different approach to building these applications: instead of focusing solely on helping with implementation, goa makes it possible to describe the design of an API in an holistic way. goa then uses that description to provide specialized helper code to the implementation and to generate documentation, API clients, tests, even custom artifacts.

The goa design language allows writing self-explanatory code that describes the resources exposed by the API and for each resource the properties and actions. goa comes with the goagen tool which runs the design language and generates various types of artifacts from the resulting metadata.

One of the goagen output is glue code that binds your code with the underlying HTTP server. This code is specific to your API so that for example there is no need to cast or "bind" any handler argument prior to using them. Each generated handler has a signature that is specific to the corresponding resource action. It's not just the parameters though, each handler also has access to specific helper methods that generate the possible responses for that action. The metadata can also include validation rules so that the generated code also takes care of validating the incoming request parameters and payload prior to invoking your code.

The end result is controller code that is terse and clean, the boilerplate is all gone. Another big benefit is the clean separation of concern between design and implementation: on bigger projects it's often the case that API design changes require careful review, being able to generate a new version of the documentation without having to write a single line of implementation is a big boon.

This idea of separating design and implementation is not new, the excellent Praxis framework from RightScale follows the same pattern and was an inspiration to goa.

Installation

Assuming you have a working Go setup:

go get github.com/goadesign/goa
go get github.com/goadesign/goa/goagen

Teaser

1. Design

Create the file $GOPATH/src/goa-adder/design/design.go with the following content:

package design

import (
        . "github.com/goadesign/goa/design"
        . "github.com/goadesign/goa/design/apidsl"
)

var _ = API("adder", func() {
        Title("The adder API")
        Description("A teaser for goa")
        Host("localhost:8080")
        Scheme("http")
})

var _ = Resource("operands", func() {
        Action("add", func() {
                Routing(GET("add/:left/:right"))
                Description("add returns the sum of the left and right parameters in the response body")
                Params(func() {
                        Param("left", Integer, "Left operand")
                        Param("right", Integer, "Right operand")
                })
                Response(OK, "text/plain")
        })

})

This file contains the design for an adder API which accepts HTTP GET requests to /add/:x/:y where :x and :y are placeholders for integer values. The API returns the sum of x and y in its body.

2. Implement

Now that the design is done, let's run goagen on the design package:

cd $GOPATH/src/goa-adder
goagen bootstrap -d goa-adder/design

This produces the following outputs:

  • main.go and operands.go contain scaffolding code to help bootstrap the implementation. running goagen again does no recreate them so that it's safe to edit their content.
  • an app package which contains glue code that binds the low level HTTP server to your implementation.
  • a client package with a Client struct that implements a AddOperands function which calls the API with the given arguments and returns the http.Response.
  • a tool directory that contains the complete source for a client CLI tool.
  • a swagger package with implements the GET /swagger.json API endpoint. The response contains the full Swagger specificiation of the API.
3. Run

First let's implement the API - edit the file operands.go and replace the content of the Add function with:

// Add import for strconv
import "strconv"

// Add runs the add action.
func (c *OperandsController) Add(ctx *app.AddOperandsContext) error {
        sum := ctx.Left + ctx.Right
        return ctx.OK([]byte(strconv.Itoa(sum)))
}

Now let's compile and run the service:

cd $GOPATH/src/goa-adder
go build
./goa-adder
2016/04/05 20:39:10 [INFO] mount ctrl=Operands action=Add route=GET /add/:left/:right
2016/04/05 20:39:10 [INFO] listen transport=http addr=:8080

Open a new console and compile the generated CLI tool:

cd $GOPATH/src/goa-adder/tool/adder-cli
go build

The tool includes contextual help:

./adder-cli --help
CLI client for the adder service

Usage:
  adder-cli [command]

Available Commands:
  add         add returns the sum of the left and right parameters in the response body

Flags:
      --dump               Dump HTTP request and response.
  -H, --host string        API hostname (default "localhost:8080")
  -s, --scheme string      Set the requests scheme
  -t, --timeout duration   Set the request timeout (default 20s)

Use "adder-cli [command] --help" for more information about a command.

To get information on how to call a specific API use:

./adder-cli add operands --help
Usage:
  adder-cli add operands [/add/LEFT/RIGHT] [flags]

Flags:
      --left int    Left operand
      --pp          Pretty print response body
      --right int   Right operand

Global Flags:
      --dump               Dump HTTP request and response.
  -H, --host string        API hostname (default "localhost:8080")
  -s, --scheme string      Set the requests scheme
  -t, --timeout duration   Set the request timeout (default 20s)

Now let's run it:

./adder-cli add operands /add/1/2
2016/04/05 20:43:18 [INFO] started id=HffVaGiH GET=http://localhost:8080/add/1/2
2016/04/05 20:43:18 [INFO] completed id=HffVaGiH status=200 time=1.028827ms
3⏎

This also works:

$ ./adder-cli add operands --left=1 --right=2
2016/04/25 00:08:59 [INFO] started id=ouKmwdWp GET=http://localhost:8080/add/1/2
2016/04/25 00:08:59 [INFO] completed id=ouKmwdWp status=200 time=1.097749ms
3⏎

The console running the service shows the request that was just handled:

2016/06/06 10:23:03 [INFO] started req_id=rLAtsSThLD-1 GET=/add/1/2 from=::1 ctrl=OperandsController action=Add
2016/06/06 10:23:03 [INFO] params req_id=rLAtsSThLD-1 right=2 left=1
2016/06/06 10:23:03 [INFO] completed req_id=rLAtsSThLD-1 status=200 bytes=1 time=66.25µs

Now let's see how robust our service is and try to use non integer values:

./adder-cli add operands add/1/d
2016/06/06 10:24:22 [INFO] started id=Q2u/lPUc GET=http://localhost:8080/add/1/d
2016/06/06 10:24:22 [INFO] completed id=Q2u/lPUc status=400 time=1.301083ms
error: 400: {"code":"invalid_request","status":400,"detail":"invalid value \"d\" for parameter \"right\", must be a integer"}

As you can see the generated code validated the incoming request against the types defined in the design.

4. Document

The swagger directory contains the API Swagger specification in both YAML and JSON format.

For open source projects hosted on github swagger.goa.design provides a free service that renders the Swagger representation dynamically from goa design packages. Simply set the url query string with the import path to the design package. For example displaying the docs for github.com/goadesign/goa-cellar/design is done by browsing to:

http://swagger.goa.design/?url=goadesign%2Fgoa-cellar%2Fdesign

Note that the above generates the swagger spec dynamically and does not require it to be present in the Github repo.

The Swagger JSON can also easily be served from the documented service itself using a simple Files definition in the design. Edit the file design/design.go and add:

var _ = Resource("swagger", func() {
        Origin("*", func() {
               Methods("GET") // Allow all origins to retrieve the Swagger JSON (CORS)
        })
        Files("/swagger.json", "swagger/swagger.json")
})

Re-run goagen bootstrap -d goa-adder/design and note the new file swagger.go containing the implementation for a controller that serves the swagger.json file.

Mount the newly generated controller by adding the following two lines to the main function in main.go:

cs := NewSwaggerController(service)
app.MountSwaggerController(service, cs)

Recompile and restart the service:

^C
go build
./goa-adder
2016/06/06 10:31:14 [INFO] mount ctrl=Operands action=Add route=GET /add/:left/:right
2016/06/06 10:31:14 [INFO] mount ctrl=Swagger files=swagger/swagger.json route=GET /swagger.json
2016/06/06 10:31:14 [INFO] listen transport=http addr=:8080

Note the new route /swagger.json. Requests made to it return the Swagger specification. The generated controller also takes care of adding the proper CORS headers so that the JSON may be retrieved from browsers using JavaScript served from a different origin (e.g. via Swagger UI). The client also has a new download action:

cd tool/adder-cli
go build
./adder-cli download --help
Download file with given path

Usage:
  adder-cli download [PATH] [flags]

Flags:
      --out string   Output file

Global Flags:
      --dump               Dump HTTP request and response.
  -H, --host string        API hostname (default "localhost:8080")
  -s, --scheme string      Set the requests scheme
  -t, --timeout duration   Set the request timeout (default 20s)

Which can be used like this to download the file swagger.json in the current directory:

./adder-cli download swagger.json
2016/06/06 10:36:24 [INFO] started file=swagger.json id=ciHL2VLt GET=http://localhost:8080/swagger.json
2016/06/06 10:36:24 [INFO] completed file=swagger.json id=ciHL2VLt status=200 time=1.013307ms

We now have a self-documenting API and best of all the documentation is automatically updated as the API design changes.

Documentation

Overview

Package goa provides the runtime support for goa microservices.

Code Generation

goa service development begins with writing the *design* of a service. The design is described using the goa language implemented by the github.com/goadesign/goa/design/apidsl package. The `goagen` tool consumes the metadata produced from executing the design language to generate service specific code that glues the underlying HTTP server with action specific code and data structures.

The goa package contains supporting functionality for the generated code including basic request and response state management through the RequestData and ResponseData structs, error handling via error classes, middleware support via the Middleware data structure as well as decoding and encoding algorithms.

Request Context

The RequestData and ResponseData structs provides access to the request and response state. goa request handlers also accept a golang.org/x/net/Context interface as first parameter so that deadlines and cancelation signals may easily be implemented.

The request state exposes the underlying http.Request object as well as the deserialized payload (request body) and parameters (both path and querystring parameters). Generated action specific contexts wrap the context.Context, ResponseData and RequestData data structures. They expose properly typed fields that correspond to the request parameters and body data structure descriptions appearing in the design.

The response state exposes the response status and body length as well as the underlying ResponseWriter. Action contexts provide action specific helper methods that write the responses as described in the design optionally taking an instance of the media type for responses that contain a body.

Here is an example showing an "update" action corresponding to following design (extract): 

Resource("bottle", func() {
    DefaultMedia(Bottle)
    Action("update", func() {
        Params(func() {
            Param("bottleID", Integer)
        })
        Payload(UpdateBottlePayload)
        Response(OK)
        Response(NotFound)
    })
})

The action signature generated by goagen is: 

type BottleController interface {
    goa.Controller
    Update(*UpdateBottleContext) error
}

where UpdateBottleContext is: 

type UpdateBottleContext struct {
    context.Context      // Timeout and deadline support
    *goa.ResponseData    // Response state access
    *goa.RequestData     // Request state access
    Service *goa.Service // Service handling request
    BottleID  int        // Properly typed parameter fields
    Payload   *UpdateBottlePayload // Properly typed payload
}

and implements: 

func (ctx *UpdateBottleContext) OK(resp *Bottle) error
func (ctx *UpdateBottleContext) NotFound() error

The definitions of the Bottle and UpdateBottlePayload data structures are ommitted for brievity.

Controllers

There is one controller interface generated per resource defined via the design language. The interface exposes the controller actions. User code must provide data structures that implement these interfaces when mounting a controller onto a service. The controller data structure should include an anonymous field of type *goa.Controller which takes care of implementing the middleware handling.

Middleware

A goa middleware is a function that takes and returns a Handler. A Handler is a the low level function which handles incoming HTTP requests. goagen generates the handlers code so each handler creates the action specific context and calls the controller action with it.

Middleware can be added to a goa service or a specific controller using the corresponding Use methods. goa comes with a few stock middleware that handle common needs such as logging, panic recovery or using the RequestID header to trace requests across multiple services.

Error Handling

The controller action methods generated by goagen such as the Update method of the BottleController interface shown above all return an error value. goa defines an Error struct that action implementations can use to describe the content of the corresponding HTTP response. Errors can be created using error classes which are functions created via NewErrorClass.

The ErrorHandler middleware maps errors to HTTP responses. Errors that are instances of the Error struct are mapped using the struct fields while other types of errors return responses with status code 500 and the error message in the body.

Validation

The goa design language documented in the dsl package makes it possible to attach validations to data structure definitions. One specific type of validation consists of defining the format that a data structure string field must follow. Example of formats include email, data time, hostnames etc. The ValidateFormat function provides the implementation for the format validation invoked from the code generated by goagen.

Encoding

The goa design language makes it possible to specify the encodings supported by the API both as input (Consumes) and output (Produces). goagen uses that information to registed the corresponding packages with the service encoders and decoders via their Register methods. The service exposes the DecodeRequest and EncodeResponse that implement a simple content type negotiation algorithm for picking the right encoder for the "Content-Type" (decoder) or "Accept" (encoder) request header.

Package goa standardizes on structured error responses: a request that fails because of an invalid input or an unexpected condition produces a response that contains a structured error.

The error data structures returned to clients contains five fields: an ID, a code, a status, a detail and metadata. The ID is unique for the occurrence of the error, it helps correlate the content of the response with the content of the service logs. The code defines the class of error (e.g. "invalid_parameter_type") and the status the corresponding HTTP status (e.g. 400). The detail contains a message specific to the error occurrence. The metadata contains key/value pairs that provide contextual information (name of parameters, value of invalid parameter etc.).

Instances of Error can be created via Error Class functions. See http://goa.design/implement/error_handling.html All instance of errors created via a error class implement the ServiceError interface. This interface is leveraged by the error handler middleware to produce the error responses.

The code generated by goagen calls the helper functions exposed in this file when it encounters invalid data (wrong type, validation errors etc.) such as InvalidParamTypeError, InvalidAttributeTypeError etc. These methods return errors that get merged with any previously encountered error via the Error Merge method. The helper functions are error classes stored in global variable. This means your code can override their values to produce arbitrary error responses.

goa includes an error handler middleware that takes care of mapping back any error returned by previously called middleware or action handler into HTTP responses. If the error was created via an error class then the corresponding content including the HTTP status is used otherwise an internal error is returned. Errors that bubble up all the way to the top (i.e. not handled by the error middleware) also generate an internal error response.

Frequently used in a defer: 

defer MeasureSince([]string{"my","namespace","action}, time.Now())

func MergeErrors 

func MergeErrors(err, other error) error

MergeErrors updates an error by merging another into it. It first converts other into a ServiceError if not already one - producing an internal error in that case. The merge algorithm is:

* If any of e or other is an internal error then the result is an internal error

* If the status or code of e and other don't match then the result is a 400 "bad_request"

The Detail field is updated by concatenating the Detail fields of e and other separated by a semi-colon. The MetaValues field of is updated by merging the map of other MetaValues into e's where values in e with identical keys to values in other get overwritten.

Merge returns the updated error. This is useful in case the error was initially nil in which case other is returned.

The path may end with a wildcard that matches the rest of the URL (e.g. *filepath). If it does the matching path is appended to filename to form the full file path, so: 

c.FileHandler("/index.html", "/www/data/index.html")

Returns the content of the file "/www/data/index.html" when requests are sent to "/index.html" and:
