-- import "gopkg.in/httprequest.v1"
Package httprequest provides functionality for marshaling unmarshaling HTTP request parameters into a struct type. It also provides a way to define methods as HTTP routes using the same approach.
It requires at least Go 1.7, and Go 1.9 is required if the importing program also uses golang.org/x/net/context.
const (
CodeBadRequest = "bad request"
CodeUnauthorized = "unauthorized"
CodeForbidden = "forbidden"
CodeNotFound = "not found"
)These constants are recognized by DefaultErrorMapper as mapping to the similarly named HTTP status codes.
var (
ErrUnmarshal = errgo.New("httprequest unmarshal error")
ErrBadUnmarshalType = errgo.New("httprequest bad unmarshal type")
)var DefaultErrorMapper = defaultErrorMapperDefaultErrorMapper is used by Server when ErrorMapper is nil. It maps all errors to RemoteError instances; if an error implements the ErrorCoder interface, the Code field will be set accordingly; some codes will map to specific HTTP status codes (for example, if ErrorCode returns CodeBadRequest, the resulting HTTP status will be http.StatusBadRequest).
var DefaultErrorUnmarshaler = ErrorUnmarshaler(new(RemoteError))DefaultErrorUnmarshaler is the default error unmarshaler used by Client.
func AddHandlers(r *httprouter.Router, hs []Handler)AddHandlers adds all the handlers in the given slice to r.
func ErrorUnmarshaler(template error) func(*http.Response) errorErrorUnmarshaler returns a function which will unmarshal error responses into new values of the same type as template. The argument must be a pointer. A new instance of it is created every time the returned function is called.
If the error cannot by unmarshaled, the function will return an *HTTPResponseError holding the response from the request.
func Marshal(baseURL, method string, x interface{}) (*http.Request, error)Marshal is the counterpart of Unmarshal. It takes information from x, which must be a pointer to a struct, and returns an HTTP request using the given method that holds all of the information.
The Body field in the returned request will always be of type BytesReaderCloser.
If x implements the HeaderSetter interface, its SetHeader method will be called to add additional headers to the HTTP request after it has been marshaled. If x is pointer to a CustomHeader object then Marshal will use its Body member to create the HTTP request.
The HTTP request will use the given method. Named fields in the given baseURL will be filled out from "path"-tagged fields in x to form the URL path in the returned request. These are specified as for httprouter.
If a field in baseURL is a suffix of the form "*var" (a trailing wildcard element that holds the rest of the path), the marshaled string must begin with a "/". This matches the httprouter convention that it always returns such fields with a "/" prefix.
If a field is of type string or []string, the value of the field will be used directly; otherwise if implements encoding.TextMarshaler, that will be used to marshal the field, otherwise fmt.Sprint will be used.
An "omitempty" attribute on a form or header field specifies that if the form or header value is zero, the form or header entry will be omitted. If the field is a nil pointer, it will be omitted; otherwise if the field type implements IsZeroer, that method will be used to determine whether the value is zero, otherwise if the value is comparable, it will be compared with the zero value for its type, otherwise the value will never be omitted. One notable implementation of IsZeroer is time.Time.
An "inbody" attribute on a form field specifies that the field will be marshaled as part of an application/x-www-form-urlencoded body. Note that the field may still be unmarshaled from either a URL query parameter or a form-encoded body.
For example, this code:
type UserDetails struct {
Age int
}
type Test struct {
Username string `httprequest:"user,path"`
ContextId int64 `httprequest:"context,form"`
Extra string `httprequest:"context,form,omitempty"`
Details UserDetails `httprequest:",body"`
}
req, err := Marshal("http://example.com/users/:user/details", "GET", &Test{
Username: "bob",
ContextId: 1234,
Details: UserDetails{
Age: 36,
}
})
if err != nil {
...
}
will produce an HTTP request req with a URL of
http://example.com/users/bob/details?context=1234 and a JSON-encoded body
holding {"Age":36}.
It is an error if there is a field specified in the URL that is not found in x.
func ToHTTP(h httprouter.Handle) http.HandlerToHTTP converts an httprouter.Handle into an http.Handler. It will pass no path variables to h.
func Unmarshal(p Params, x interface{}) errorUnmarshal takes values from given parameters and fills out fields in x, which must be a pointer to a struct.
Tags on the struct's fields determine where each field is filled in from. Similar to encoding/json and other encoding packages, the tag holds a comma-separated list. The first item in the list is an alternative name for the field (the field name itself will be used if this is empty). The next item specifies where the field is filled in from. It may be:
"path" - the field is taken from a parameter in p.PathVar
with a matching field name.
"form" - the field is taken from the given name in p.Request.Form
(note that this covers both URL query parameters and
POST form parameters).
"header" - the field is taken from the given name in
p.Request.Header.
"body" - the field is filled in by parsing the request body
as JSON.
For path and form parameters, the field will be filled out from the field in p.PathVar or p.Form using one of the following methods (in descending order of preference):
-
if the type is string, it will be set from the first value.
-
if the type is []string, it will be filled out using all values for that field
(allowed only for form)
-
if the type implements encoding.TextUnmarshaler, its UnmarshalText method will be used
-
otherwise fmt.Sscan will be used to set the value.
When the unmarshaling fails, Unmarshal returns an error with an ErrUnmarshal cause. If the type of x is inappropriate, it returns an error with an ErrBadUnmarshalType cause.
func UnmarshalJSONResponse(resp *http.Response, x interface{}) errorUnmarshalJSONResponse unmarshals the given HTTP response into x, which should be a pointer to the result to be unmarshaled into.
If the response cannot be unmarshaled, an error of type *DecodeResponseError will be returned.
func WriteJSON(w http.ResponseWriter, code int, val interface{}) errorWriteJSON writes the given value to the ResponseWriter and sets the HTTP status to the given code.
If val implements the HeaderSetter interface, the SetHeader method will be called to add additional headers to the HTTP response. It is called after the Content-Type header has been added, so can be used to override the content type if required.
type BytesReaderCloser struct {
*bytes.Reader
}BytesReaderCloser is a bytes.Reader which implements io.Closer with a no-op Close method.
func (BytesReaderCloser) Close() errorClose implements io.Closer.Close.
type Client struct {
// BaseURL holds the base URL to use when making
// HTTP requests.
BaseURL string
// Doer holds a value that will be used to actually
// make the HTTP request. If it is nil, http.DefaultClient
// will be used instead. If Doer implements DoerWithContext,
// DoWithContext will be used instead.
Doer Doer
// If a request returns an HTTP response that signifies an
// error, UnmarshalError is used to unmarshal the response into
// an appropriate error. See ErrorUnmarshaler for a convenient
// way to create an UnmarshalError function for a given type. If
// this is nil, DefaultErrorUnmarshaler will be used.
UnmarshalError func(resp *http.Response) error
}Client represents a client that can invoke httprequest endpoints.
func (c *Client) Call(ctx context.Context, params, resp interface{}) errorCall invokes the endpoint implied by the given params, which should be of the form accepted by the ArgT argument to a function passed to Handle, and unmarshals the response into the given response parameter, which should be a pointer to the response value.
If params implements the HeaderSetter interface, its SetHeader method will be called to add additional headers to the HTTP request.
If resp is nil, the response will be ignored if the request was successful.
If resp is of type **http.Response, instead of unmarshaling into it, its element will be set to the returned HTTP response directly and the caller is responsible for closing its Body field.
Any error that c.UnmarshalError or c.Doer returns will not have its cause masked.
If the request returns a response with a status code signifying success, but the response could not be unmarshaled, a *DecodeResponseError will be returned holding the response. Note that if the request returns an error status code, the Client.UnmarshalError function is responsible for doing this if desired (the default error unmarshal functions do).
func (c *Client) CallURL(ctx context.Context, url string, params, resp interface{}) errorCallURL is like Call except that the given URL is used instead of c.BaseURL.
func (c *Client) Do(ctx context.Context, req *http.Request, resp interface{}) errorDo sends the given request and unmarshals its JSON result into resp, which should be a pointer to the response value. If an error status is returned, the error will be unmarshaled as in Client.Call.
If resp is nil, the response will be ignored if the response was successful.
If resp is of type **http.Response, instead of unmarshaling into it, its element will be set to the returned HTTP response directly and the caller is responsible for closing its Body field.
Any error that c.UnmarshalError or c.Doer returns will not have its cause masked.
If req.URL does not have a host part it will be treated as relative to c.BaseURL. req.URL will be updated to the actual URL used.
If the response cannot by unmarshaled, a *DecodeResponseError will be returned holding the response from the request. the entire response body.
func (c *Client) Get(ctx context.Context, url string, resp interface{}) errorGet is a convenience method that uses c.Do to issue a GET request to the given URL. If the given URL does not have a host part then it will be treated as relative to c.BaseURL.
type CustomHeader struct {
// Body holds the JSON-marshaled body of the response.
Body interface{}
// SetHeaderFunc holds a function that will be called
// to set any custom headers on the response.
SetHeaderFunc func(http.Header)
}CustomHeader is a type that allows a JSON value to set custom HTTP headers associated with the HTTP response.
func (h CustomHeader) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)MarshalJSON implements json.Marshaler by marshaling h.Body.
func (h CustomHeader) SetHeader(header http.Header)SetHeader implements HeaderSetter by calling h.SetHeaderFunc.
type DecodeRequestError struct {
// Request holds the problematic HTTP request.
// The body of this does not need to be closed
// and may be truncated if the response is large.
Request *http.Request
// DecodeError holds the error that was encountered
// when decoding.
DecodeError error
}DecodeRequestError represents an error when an HTTP request could not be decoded.
func (e *DecodeRequestError) Error() stringtype DecodeResponseError struct {
// Response holds the problematic HTTP response.
// The body of this does not need to be closed
// and may be truncated if the response is large.
Response *http.Response
// DecodeError holds the error that was encountered
// when decoding.
DecodeError error
}DecodeResponseError represents an error when an HTTP response could not be decoded.
func (e *DecodeResponseError) Error() stringtype Doer interface {
Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}Doer is implemented by HTTP client packages to make an HTTP request. It is notably implemented by http.Client and httpbakery.Client.
type DoerWithContext interface {
DoWithContext(ctx context.Context, req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}DoerWithContext is implemented by HTTP clients that can use a context with the HTTP request.
type ErrorCoder interface {
ErrorCode() string
}ErrorCoder may be implemented by an error to cause it to return a particular RemoteError code when DefaultErrorMapper is used.
type ErrorHandler func(Params) errorErrorHandler is like httprouter.Handle except it returns an error which may be returned as the error body of the response. An ErrorHandler function should not itself write to the ResponseWriter if it returns an error.
type Handler struct {
Method string
Path string
Handle httprouter.Handle
}Handler defines a HTTP handler that will handle the given HTTP method at the given httprouter path
type HeaderSetter interface {
SetHeader(http.Header)
}HeaderSetter is the interface checked for by WriteJSON. If implemented on a value passed to WriteJSON, the SetHeader method will be called to allow it to set custom headers on the response.
type IsZeroer interface {
IsZero() bool
}IsZeroer is used when marshaling to determine if a value is zero (see Marshal).
type JSONHandler func(Params) (interface{}, error)JSONHandler is like httprouter.Handle except that it returns a body (to be converted to JSON) and an error. The Header parameter can be used to set custom headers on the response.
type Params struct {
Response http.ResponseWriter
Request *http.Request
PathVar httprouter.Params
// PathPattern holds the path pattern matched by httprouter.
// It is only set where httprequest has the information;
// that is where the call was made by Server.Handler
// or Server.Handlers.
PathPattern string
// Context holds a context for the request. In Go 1.7 and later,
// this should be used in preference to Request.Context.
Context context.Context
}Params holds the parameters provided to an HTTP request.
type RemoteError struct {
// Message holds the error message.
Message string
// Code may hold a code that classifies the error.
Code string `json:",omitempty"`
// Info holds any other information associated with the error.
Info *json.RawMessage `json:",omitempty"`
}RemoteError holds the default type of a remote error used by Client when no custom error unmarshaler is set. This type is also used by DefaultErrorMapper to marshal errors in Server.
func Errorf(code string, f string, a ...interface{}) *RemoteErrorErrorf returns a new RemoteError instance that uses the given code and formats the message with fmt.Sprintf(f, a...). If f is empty and there are no other arguments, code will also be used for the message.
func (e *RemoteError) Error() stringError implements the error interface.
func (e *RemoteError) ErrorCode() stringErrorCode implements ErrorCoder by returning e.Code.
type Route struct{}Route is the type of a field that specifies a routing path and HTTP method. See Marshal and Unmarshal for details.
type Server struct {
// ErrorMapper holds a function that can convert a Go error
// into a form that can be returned as a JSON body from an HTTP request.
//
// The httpStatus value reports the desired HTTP status.
//
// If the returned errorBody implements HeaderSetter, then
// that method will be called to add custom headers to the request.
//
// If this both this and ErrorWriter are nil, DefaultErrorMapper will be used.
ErrorMapper func(ctxt context.Context, err error) (httpStatus int, errorBody interface{})
// ErrorWriter is a more general form of ErrorMapper. If this
// field is set, ErrorMapper will be ignored and any returned
// errors will be passed to ErrorWriter, which should use
// w to set the HTTP status and write an appropriate
// error response.
ErrorWriter func(ctx context.Context, w http.ResponseWriter, err error)
}Server represents the server side of an HTTP servers, and can be used to create HTTP handlers although it is not an HTTP handler itself.
func (srv *Server) Handle(f interface{}) HandlerHandle converts a function into a Handler. The argument f must be a function of one of the following six forms, where ArgT must be a struct type acceptable to Unmarshal and ResultT is a type that can be marshaled as JSON:
func(p Params, arg *ArgT)
func(p Params, arg *ArgT) error
func(p Params, arg *ArgT) (ResultT, error)
func(arg *ArgT)
func(arg *ArgT) error
func(arg *ArgT) (ResultT, error)
When processing a call to the returned handler, the provided parameters are unmarshaled into a new ArgT value using Unmarshal, then f is called with this value. If the unmarshaling fails, f will not be called and the unmarshal error will be written as a JSON response.
As an additional special case to the rules defined in Unmarshal, the tag on an anonymous field of type Route specifies the method and path to use in the HTTP request. It should hold two space-separated fields; the first specifies the HTTP method, the second the URL path to use for the request. If this is given, the returned handler will hold that method and path, otherwise they will be empty.
If an error is returned from f, it is passed through the error mapper before writing as a JSON response.
In the third form, when no error is returned, the result is written as a JSON response with status http.StatusOK. Also in this case, any calls to Params.Response.Write or Params.Response.WriteHeader will be ignored, as the response code and data should be defined entirely by the returned result and error.
Handle will panic if the provided function is not in one of the above forms.
func (srv *Server) HandleErrors(handle ErrorHandler) httprouter.HandleHandleErrors returns a handler that passes any non-nil error returned by handle through the error mapper and writes it as a JSON response.
Note that the Params argument passed to handle will not have its PathPattern set as that information is not available.
func (srv *Server) HandleJSON(handle JSONHandler) httprouter.HandleHandleJSON returns a handler that writes the return value of handle as a JSON response. If handle returns an error, it is passed through the error mapper.
Note that the Params argument passed to handle will not have its PathPattern set as that information is not available.
func (srv *Server) Handlers(f interface{}) []HandlerHandlers returns a list of handlers that will be handled by the value returned by the given argument, which must be a function in one of the following forms:
func(p httprequest.Params) (T, context.Context, error)
func(p httprequest.Params, handlerArg I) (T, context.Context, error)
for some type T and some interface type I. Each exported method defined on T defines a handler, and should be in one of the forms accepted by Server.Handle with the additional constraint that the argument to each of the handlers must be compatible with the type I when the second form is used above.
The returned context will be used as the value of Params.Context when Params is passed to any method. It will also be used when writing an error if the function returns an error.
Handlers will panic if f is not of the required form, no methods are defined on T or any method defined on T is not suitable for Handle.
When any of the returned handlers is invoked, f will be called and then the appropriate method will be called on the value it returns. If specified, the handlerArg parameter to f will hold the ArgT argument that will be passed to the handler method.
If T implements io.Closer, its Close method will be called after the request is completed.
func (srv *Server) WriteError(ctx context.Context, w http.ResponseWriter, err error)WriteError writes an error to a ResponseWriter and sets the HTTP status code, using srv.ErrorMapper to determine the actually written response.
It uses WriteJSON to write the error body returned from the ErrorMapper so it is possible to add custom headers to the HTTP error response by implementing HeaderSetter.
