(https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax) +This feature requires the use of a CurlyRouter. + +Containers + +A Container holds a collection of WebServices, Filters and a http.ServeMux for multiplexing http requests. +Using the statements "restful.Add(...) and restful.Filter(...)" will register WebServices and Filters to the Default Container. +The Default container of go-restful uses the http.DefaultServeMux. +You can create your own Container and create a new http.Server for that particular container. + + container := restful.NewContainer() + server := &http.Server{Addr: ":8081", Handler: container} + +Filters + +A filter dynamically intercepts requests and responses to transform or use the information contained in the requests or responses. +You can use filters to perform generic logging, measurement, authentication, redirect, set response headers etc. +In the restful package there are three hooks into the request,response flow where filters can be added. +Each filter must define a FilterFunction: + + func (req *restful.Request, resp *restful.Response, chain *restful.FilterChain) + +Use the following statement to pass the request,response pair to the next filter or RouteFunction + + chain.ProcessFilter(req, resp) + +Container Filters + +These are processed before any registered WebService. + + // install a (global) filter for the default container (processed before any webservice) + restful.Filter(globalLogging) + +WebService Filters + +These are processed before any Route of a WebService. + + // install a webservice filter (processed before any route) + ws.Filter(webserviceLogging).Filter(measureTime) + + +Route Filters + +These are processed before calling the function associated with the Route. + + // install 2 chained route filters (processed before calling findUser) + ws.Route(ws.GET("/{user-id}").Filter(routeLogging).Filter(NewCountFilter().routeCounter).To(findUser)) + +See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-filters.go with full implementations. + +Response Encoding + +Two encodings are supported: gzip and deflate. To enable this for all responses: + + restful.DefaultContainer.EnableContentEncoding(true) + +If a Http request includes the Accept-Encoding header then the response content will be compressed using the specified encoding. +Alternatively, you can create a Filter that performs the encoding and install it per WebService or Route. + +See the example https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples/restful-encoding-filter.go + +OPTIONS support + +By installing a pre-defined container filter, your Webservice(s) can respond to the OPTIONS Http request. + + Filter(OPTIONSFilter()) + +CORS + +By installing the filter of a CrossOriginResourceSharing (CORS), your WebService(s) can handle CORS requests. + + cors := CrossOriginResourceSharing{ExposeHeaders: []string{"X-My-Header"}, CookiesAllowed: false, Container: DefaultContainer} + Filter(cors.Filter) + +Error Handling + +Unexpected things happen. If a request cannot be processed because of a failure, your service needs to tell via the response what happened and why. +For this reason HTTP status codes exist and it is important to use the correct code in every exceptional situation. + + 400: Bad Request + +If path or query parameters are not valid (content or type) then use http.StatusBadRequest. + + 404: Not Found + +Despite a valid URI, the resource requested may not be available + + 500: Internal Server Error + +If the application logic could not process the request (or write the response) then use http.StatusInternalServerError. + + 405: Method Not Allowed + +The request has a valid URL but the method (GET,PUT,POST,...) is not allowed. + + 406: Not Acceptable + +The request does not have or has an unknown Accept Header set for this operation. + + 415: Unsupported Media Type + +The request does not have or has an unknown Content-Type Header set for this operation. + +ServiceError + +In addition to setting the correct (error) Http status code, you can choose to write a ServiceError message on the response. + +Performance options + +This package has several options that affect the performance of your service. It is important to understand them and how you can change it. + + restful.DefaultContainer.DoNotRecover(false) + +DoNotRecover controls whether panics will be caught to return HTTP 500. +If set to false, the container will recover from panics. +Default value is true + + restful.SetCompressorProvider(NewBoundedCachedCompressors(20, 20)) + +If content encoding is enabled then the default strategy for getting new gzip/zlib writers and readers is to use a sync.Pool. +Because writers are expensive structures, performance is even more improved when using a preloaded cache. You can also inject your own implementation. + +Trouble shooting + +This package has the means to produce detail logging of the complete Http request matching process and filter invocation. +Enabling this feature requires you to set an implementation of restful.StdLogger (e.g. log.Logger) instance such as: + + restful.TraceLogger(log.New(os.Stdout, "[restful] ", log.LstdFlags|log.Lshortfile)) + +Logging + +The restful.SetLogger() method allows you to override the logger used by the package. By default restful +uses the standard library `log` package and logs to stdout. Different logging packages are supported as +long as they conform to `StdLogger` interface defined in the `log` sub-package, writing an adapter for your +preferred package is simple. + +Resources + +[project]: https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful + +[examples]: https://github.com/emicklei/go-restful/blob/master/examples + +[design]: http://ernestmicklei.com/2012/11/11/go-restful-api-design/ + +[showcases]: https://github.com/emicklei/mora, https://github.com/emicklei/landskape + +(c) 2012-2015, http://ernestmicklei.com.
