GO Simple Gateway

GO Simple Gateway is a lightweight gateway application written in Go that acts as an intermediary between multiple APIs with different domains. It allows you to configure the endpoints and namespaces for each API through a YAML configuration file. This project utilizes the Go Fiber library for building fast and efficient HTTP APIs.

Features

• Acts as a gateway for multiple APIs with different domains.
• Configuration is stored in a YAML file.
• Implements middleware for handling requests.
• Supports various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
• Easy to configure and extend.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.16 or above
• Go Fiber library (https://github.com/gofiber/fiber)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/go-simple-gateway.git
   

2. Change to the project directory:

   cd go-simple-gateway
   

3. Build the project:

   go build
   

4. Run the executable:

   ./go-simple-gateway
   
   The server will start running on http://localhost:8080.
   

Configuration

The configuration for the gateway is stored in a YAML file named config.yml. Update this file according to your API endpoints and namespaces. Here's an example of the configuration file:

- endpoint: http://httpbin.org/
  namespace: httpbin

In the above example, the gateway will forward requests with the /httpbin namespace to the http://httpbin.org/ endpoint.

Usage

To access the APIs through the gateway, use the following URL format:

http://localhost:8080/v1/{namespace}/{path}

Replace {namespace} with the desired namespace from your configuration file and {path} with the specific path for the API endpoint.

Middleware

The gateway application includes a middleware that can be used for various purposes such as request logging, authentication, rate limiting, etc. Currently, the middleware is empty and can be customized according to your needs. Feel free to add your own logic and functionality to the middleware.
