Http

The Http module contains a set uf useful http packages that can be used in any Http backend project.

Import

Import the module

go get github.com/go-bumbu/http

Server

The server package contains boilerplate to create an http server. Features:

• you can specify a main handler and an optional observability handler
  • the observability handler is intended to expose details like metrics, runtime controls or hprof endpoint
• the server can safely shut down with os kill signals
• it exposes a Stop() method to safely shut down both servers.

Middleware

Middleware contains several middleware handlers to facilitate writing backends

• delay: useful during development for AJAX calls, adds delay to a response
• jsonErr: wraps all http errors into a json response, also allows to generalize errors
  • setting the flag genericMessage to true, will not return the error string but the generic error string matching the response code instead
• prometheus: adds an http_duration_seconds bucket to measure volume and duration of requests per response code
• zerolog: middleware that will write a log message to a zerolog logger capturing every request

Handlers

• spa: simple Single page application handler to serve SPAs embedded into go code
