Golang : Gorilla mux routing example
This is a short tutorial on how to use Gorilla's mux. The code example below is taken from previous tutorial on web routing and with minor addition.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
"net/http"
)
func SayHelloWorld(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
}
func Greet(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
name := mux.Vars(r)["name"]
w.Write([]byte(fmt.Sprintf("Hello %s !", name)))
}
func ProcessPathVariables(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// break down the variables for easier assignment
vars := mux.Vars(r)
name := vars["name"]
job := vars["job"]
age := vars["age"]
w.Write([]byte(fmt.Sprintf("Name is %s ", name)))
w.Write([]byte(fmt.Sprintf("Job is %s ", job)))
w.Write([]byte(fmt.Sprintf("Age is %s ", age)))
}
func main() {
mx := mux.NewRouter()
mx.HandleFunc("/", SayHelloWorld)
mx.HandleFunc("/{name}", Greet)
//to handle URL like
//http://website:8080/person/Boo/CEO/199
//http://website:8080/person/Boo/CEO/199 <- if age > 199, will cause 404 error
mx.HandleFunc("/person/{name}/{job}/{age:[0-199]+}", ProcessPathVariables)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mx)
}
Tests output :
URL : http://162.243.5.230:8080/person/Boo/CEO/199
Name is Boo Job is CEO Age is 199
URL : http://162.243.5.230:8080/person
Hello person !
