Package mux implements a request router and dispatcher.
|
|
|
|
The name mux stands for "HTTP request multiplexer". Like the standard
|
|
http.ServeMux, mux.Router matches incoming requests against a list of
|
|
registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL
|
|
or other conditions. The main features are:
|
|
|
|
* Requests can be matched based on URL host, path, path prefix, schemes,
|
|
header and query values, HTTP methods or using custom matchers.
|
|
* URL hosts and paths can have variables with an optional regular
|
|
expression.
|
|
* Registered URLs can be built, or "reversed", which helps maintaining
|
|
references to resources.
|
|
* Routes can be used as subrouters: nested routes are only tested if the
|
|
parent route matches. This is useful to define groups of routes that
|
|
share common conditions like a host, a path prefix or other repeated
|
|
attributes. As a bonus, this optimizes request matching.
|
|
* It implements the http.Handler interface so it is compatible with the
|
|
standard http.ServeMux.
|
|
|
|
Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers:
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler)
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/products", ProductsHandler)
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/articles", ArticlesHandler)
|
|
http.Handle("/", r)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Here we register three routes mapping URL paths to handlers. This is
|
|
equivalent to how http.HandleFunc() works: if an incoming request URL matches
|
|
one of the paths, the corresponding handler is called passing
|
|
(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) as parameters.
|
|
|
|
Paths can have variables. They are defined using the format {name} or
|
|
{name:pattern}. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched
|
|
variable will be anything until the next slash. For example:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/products/{key}", ProductHandler)
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/", ArticlesCategoryHandler)
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler)
|
|
|
|
The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved
|
|
calling mux.Vars():
|
|
|
|
vars := mux.Vars(request)
|
|
category := vars["category"]
|
|
|
|
And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options
|
|
are explained below.
|
|
|
|
Routes can also be restricted to a domain or subdomain. Just define a host
|
|
pattern to be matched. They can also have variables:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
// Only matches if domain is "www.example.com".
|
|
r.Host("www.example.com")
|
|
// Matches a dynamic subdomain.
|
|
r.Host("{subdomain:[a-z]+}.domain.com")
|
|
|
|
There are several other matchers that can be added. To match path prefixes:
|
|
|
|
r.PathPrefix("/products/")
|
|
|
|
...or HTTP methods:
|
|
|
|
r.Methods("GET", "POST")
|
|
|
|
...or URL schemes:
|
|
|
|
r.Schemes("https")
|
|
|
|
...or header values:
|
|
|
|
r.Headers("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest")
|
|
|
|
...or query values:
|
|
|
|
r.Queries("key", "value")
|
|
|
|
...or to use a custom matcher function:
|
|
|
|
r.MatcherFunc(func(r *http.Request, rm *RouteMatch) bool {
|
|
return r.ProtoMajor == 0
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
...and finally, it is possible to combine several matchers in a single route:
|
|
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/products", ProductsHandler).
|
|
Host("www.example.com").
|
|
Methods("GET").
|
|
Schemes("http")
|
|
|
|
Setting the same matching conditions again and again can be boring, so we have
|
|
a way to group several routes that share the same requirements.
|
|
We call it "subrouting".
|
|
|
|
For example, let's say we have several URLs that should only match when the
|
|
host is "www.example.com". Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter"
|
|
from it:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
s := r.Host("www.example.com").Subrouter()
|
|
|
|
Then register routes in the subrouter:
|
|
|
|
s.HandleFunc("/products/", ProductsHandler)
|
|
s.HandleFunc("/products/{key}", ProductHandler)
|
|
s.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}"), ArticleHandler)
|
|
|
|
The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is
|
|
"www.example.com", because the subrouter is tested first. This is not
|
|
only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create
|
|
subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route.
|
|
|
|
Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define
|
|
subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its
|
|
paths relatively to a given subrouter.
|
|
|
|
There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix,
|
|
the inner routes use it as base for their paths:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
s := r.PathPrefix("/products").Subrouter()
|
|
// "/products/"
|
|
s.HandleFunc("/", ProductsHandler)
|
|
// "/products/{key}/"
|
|
s.HandleFunc("/{key}/", ProductHandler)
|
|
// "/products/{key}/details"
|
|
s.HandleFunc("/{key}/details", ProductDetailsHandler)
|
|
|
|
Now let's see how to build registered URLs.
|
|
|
|
Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built,
|
|
or "reversed". We define a name calling Name() on a route. For example:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler).
|
|
Name("article")
|
|
|
|
To build a URL, get the route and call the URL() method, passing a sequence of
|
|
key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do:
|
|
|
|
url, err := r.Get("article").URL("category", "technology", "id", "42")
|
|
|
|
...and the result will be a url.URL with the following path:
|
|
|
|
"/articles/technology/42"
|
|
|
|
This also works for host variables:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
r.Host("{subdomain}.domain.com").
|
|
Path("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}").
|
|
HandlerFunc(ArticleHandler).
|
|
Name("article")
|
|
|
|
// url.String() will be "http://news.domain.com/articles/technology/42"
|
|
url, err := r.Get("article").URL("subdomain", "news",
|
|
"category", "technology",
|
|
"id", "42")
|
|
|
|
All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must
|
|
conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a
|
|
generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is
|
|
for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match.
|
|
|
|
Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do:
|
|
|
|
r.HeadersRegexp("Content-Type", "application/(text|json)")
|
|
|
|
...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as
|
|
`application/text`
|
|
|
|
There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route:
|
|
use the methods URLHost() or URLPath() instead. For the previous route,
|
|
we would do:
|
|
|
|
// "http://news.domain.com/"
|
|
host, err := r.Get("article").URLHost("subdomain", "news")
|
|
|
|
// "/articles/technology/42"
|
|
path, err := r.Get("article").URLPath("category", "technology", "id", "42")
|
|
|
|
And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built
|
|
as well:
|
|
|
|
r := mux.NewRouter()
|
|
s := r.Host("{subdomain}.domain.com").Subrouter()
|
|
s.Path("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}").
|
|
HandlerFunc(ArticleHandler).
|
|
Name("article")
|
|
|
|
// "http://news.domain.com/articles/technology/42"
|
|
url, err := r.Get("article").URL("subdomain", "news",
|
|
"category", "technology",
|
|
"id", "42")
|
|
