Minimal app-facing HTTP abstractions, middleware, adapters, and route indexing for GoForj.

web is built on top of Echo, which is a fantastic HTTP framework with a fast router, strong middleware story, and a mature ecosystem. GoForj wraps it so applications can code against a smaller app-facing contract while still getting a high-quality underlying engine, reusable middleware packages, testing helpers, route indexing, and framework-owned integration points like Prometheus and generated wiring.

Using With GoForj Apps

Generated Apps use web through controllers, route groups, middleware, route listing, metrics, and inspects. Start with HTTP Services, Routes, and Controllers when you are building a full App.

Use this page when you need standalone package APIs, adapter details, middleware primitives, or webtest helpers.

Installation

go get github.com/goforj/web

Quick Start

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/goforj/web"
	"github.com/goforj/web/adapter/echoweb"
	"github.com/goforj/web/webmiddleware"
)

func main() {
	adapter := echoweb.New()
	router := adapter.Router()

	router.Use(
		webmiddleware.Recover(),
		webmiddleware.RequestID(),
	)

	router.GET("/healthz", func(c web.Context) error {
		// GET /healthz -> 200 ok
		return c.Text(200, "ok")
	})

	router.GET("/users/:id", func(c web.Context) error {
		// GET /users/42 -> 200 {"id":"42","name":"user-42"}
		return c.JSON(200, map[string]any{
			"id":   c.Param("id"),
			"name": fmt.Sprintf("user-%s", c.Param("id")),
		})
	})

	// Boot the HTTP server with the adapter as the final handler.
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", adapter))
}

Common Patterns

Route Groups

adapter := echoweb.New()
router := adapter.Router()

routes := []web.Route{
	web.NewRoute(http.MethodGet, "/healthz", func(c web.Context) error {
		// GET /api/healthz -> 204
		return c.NoContent(http.StatusOK)
	}),
	web.NewRoute(http.MethodGet, "/users", func(c web.Context) error {
		// GET /api/users -> 200 [{"id":1}]
		return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, []map[string]any{{"id": 1}})
	}),
}

group := web.NewRouteGroup("/api", routes)

if err := web.RegisterRoutes(router, []web.RouteGroup{group}); err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

Use Middleware

adapter := echoweb.New()
router := adapter.Router()

store := webmiddleware.NewRateLimiterMemoryStore(rate.Every(time.Second))

router.Use(
	webmiddleware.Recover(),
	webmiddleware.RequestID(),
	webmiddleware.RateLimiter(store),
)

router.GET("/api/messages", func(c web.Context) error {
	// GET /api/messages -> 200 [{"id":1,"subject":"Welcome"}]
	// Requests over the configured rate limit return 429.
	return c.JSON(200, []map[string]any{
		{"id": 1, "subject": "Welcome"},
	})
})

Test A Route

func TestHealthRoute(t *testing.T) {
	adapter := echoweb.New()
	router := adapter.Router()

	router.GET("/healthz", func(c web.Context) error {
		return c.Text(200, "ok")
	})

	req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/healthz", nil)
	rec := httptest.NewRecorder()

	adapter.ServeHTTP(rec, req)

	if rec.Code != 200 {
		t.Fatalf("expected 200, got %d", rec.Code)
	}
	if strings.TrimSpace(rec.Body.String()) != "ok" {
		t.Fatalf("expected ok, got %q", rec.Body.String())
	}
	// rec.Code -> 200
	// rec.Body -> ok
}

Expose Prometheus Metrics

adapter := echoweb.New()
router := adapter.Router()

metrics := webprometheus.MustNew(webprometheus.Config{Namespace: "app"})

router.Use(metrics.Middleware())

router.GET("/users", func(c web.Context) error {
	// GET /users -> 204
	return c.NoContent(http.StatusOK)
})
router.GET("/metrics", metrics.Handler())
// GET /metrics -> Prometheus text exposition

Generate A Route Index

_, err := webindex.Run(context.Background(), webindex.IndexOptions{
	Root:    ".",
	OutPath: "webindex.json",
})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
// Writes webindex.json.
