Fiber is an Express inspired web framework built on top of Fasthttp, the fastest HTTP engine for Go. Designed to ease things up for fast development with zero memory allocation and performance in mind.

⚡️ Quickstart

package main

import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.Send("Hello, World!")
  })

  app.Listen(3000)
}

⚙️ Installation

First of all, download and install Go. 1.11 or higher is required.

Installation is done using the go get command:

go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber

💡 Philosophy

New gophers that make the switch from Node.js to Go are dealing with a learning curve before they can start building their web applications or microservices. Fiber, as a web framework, was created with the idea of minimalism and follows the UNIX way, so that new gophers can quickly enter the world of Go with a warm and trusted welcome.

Fiber is inspired by Express, the most popular web framework on the Internet. We combined the ease of Express and raw performance of Go. If you have ever implemented a web application in Node.js (using Express or similar), then many methods and principles will seem very common to you.

We listen to our users in issues (and all over the Internet) to create a fast, flexible and friendly Go web framework for any task, deadline and developer skill! Just like Express does in the JavaScript world.

👀 Examples

Listed below are some of the common examples.

Routing

📖 https://fiber.wiki/#basic-routing

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  // GET /john
  app.Get("/:name", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    fmt.Printf("Hello %s!", c.Params("name"))
    // => Hello john!
  })

  // GET /john
  app.Get("/:name/:age?", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    fmt.Printf("Name: %s, Age: %s", c.Params("name"), c.Params("age"))
    // => Name: john, Age:
  })

  // GET /api/register
  app.Get("/api*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    fmt.Printf("/api%s", c.Params("*"))
    // => /api/register
  })

  app.Listen(3000)
}

Serve static files

📖 https://fiber.wiki/application#static

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  app.Static("/", "/public")
  // => http://localhost:3000/js/script.js
  // => http://localhost:3000/css/style.css

  app.Static("/prefix", "/public")
  // => http://localhost:3000/prefix/js/script.js
  // => http://localhost:3000/prefix/css/style.css

  app.Static("*", "/public/index.html")
  // => http://localhost:3000/any/path/shows/index/html

  app.Listen(3000)
}

Middleware & Next

📖 https://fiber.wiki/routing#middleware
📖 https://fiber.wiki/context#next

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  // Match any route
  app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    fmt.Println("First middleware")
    c.Next()
  })

  // Match all routes starting with /api
  app.Use("/api", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    fmt.Println("Second middleware")
    c.Next()
  })

  // GET /api/register
  app.Get("/api/list", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    fmt.Println("Last middleware")
    c.Send("Hello, World!")
  })

  app.Listen(3000)
}

Template engines

📖 https://fiber.wiki/application#settings
📖 https://fiber.wiki/context#render
📖 https://fiber.wiki/middleware#template

Fiber supports the default Go template engine

But if you want to use another template engine like amber, handlebars, mustache or pug.

You can use our Template Middleware.

package main

import (
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
  "github.com/gofiber/template"
)

func main() {
  // You can setup template engine before initiation app:
  app := fiber.New(&fiber.Settings{
    TemplateEngine:    template.Mustache(),
    TemplateFolder:    "./views",
    TemplateExtension: ".tmpl",
  })

  // OR after initiation app at any convenient location:
  app.Settings.TemplateEngine = template.Mustache()
  app.Settings.TemplateFolder = "./views"
  app.Settings.TemplateExtension = ".tmpl"

  // And now, you can call template `./views/home.tmpl` like this:
  app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.Render("home", fiber.Map{
      "title": "Homepage",
      "year":  1999,
    })
  })

  // ...
}

Grouping routes into chains

📖 https://fiber.wiki/application#group

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  // Root API route
  api := app.Group("/api", cors())  // /api

  // API v1 routes
  v1 := api.Group("/v1", mysql())   // /api/v1
  v1.Get("/list", handler)          // /api/v1/list
  v1.Get("/user", handler)          // /api/v1/user

  // API v2 routes
  v2 := api.Group("/v2", mongodb()) // /api/v2
  v2.Get("/list", handler)          // /api/v2/list
  v2.Get("/user", handler)          // /api/v2/user

  // ...
}

Middleware logger

📖 https://fiber.wiki/middleware#logger

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
    "github.com/gofiber/logger"
)

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    // Optional logger config
    config := logger.Config{
      Format:     "${time} - ${method} ${path}\n",
      TimeFormat: "Mon, 2 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST",
    }

    // Logger with config
    app.Use(logger.New(config))

    app.Listen(3000)
}

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

📖 https://fiber.wiki/middleware#cors

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
    "github.com/gofiber/cors"
)

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()

    // CORS with default config
    app.Use(cors.New())

    app.Listen(3000)
}

Check CORS by passing any domain in Origin header:

curl -H "Origin: http://example.com" --verbose http://localhost:3000

Custom 404 response

📖 https://fiber.wiki/application#http-methods

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  app.Static("/public")

  app.Get("/demo", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.Send("This is a demo!")
  })

  app.Post("/register", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.Send("Welcome!")
  })

  // Last middleware to match anything
  app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.SendStatus(404) 
    // => 404 "Not Found"
  })

  app.Listen(3000)
}

JSON Response

📖 https://fiber.wiki/context#json

type User struct {
  Name string `json:"name"`
  Age  int    `json:"age"`
}

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  app.Get("/user", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.JSON(&User{"John", 20})
    // => {"name":"John", "age":20}
  })

  app.Get("/json", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.JSON(fiber.Map{
      "success": true,
      "message": "Hi John!",
    })
    // => {"success":true, "message":"Hi John!"}
  })

  app.Listen(3000)
}

WebSocket Upgrade

📖 https://fiber.wiki/middleware#websocket

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
    "github.com/gofiber/websocket"
)

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  app.Get("/ws", websocket.New(func(c *websocket.Conn) {
    for {
      mt, msg, err := c.ReadMessage()
      if err != nil {
        log.Println("read:", err)
        break
      }
      log.Printf("recv: %s", msg)
      err = c.WriteMessage(mt, msg)
      if err != nil {
        log.Println("write:", err)
        break
      }
    }
  }))

  app.Listen(3000)
  // ws://localhost:3000/ws
}

Recover middleware

📖 https://fiber.wiki/middleware#recover

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
    "github.com/gofiber/recover"
)

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()

  // Optional recover config
  config := recover.Config{
    Handler: func(c *fiber.Ctx, err error) {
			c.SendString(err.Error())
			c.SendStatus(500)
		},
  }

  // Logger with custom config
  app.Use(recover.New(config))

  app.Listen(3000)
