gracefully

Handling your Go servers with grace.

Usage

Under the hood this relies directly on http.Server's Shutdown() method but provides it in a boilerplate free way.

Install the package

go get github.com/ojizero/gracefully

Replace your application's startup point with the following

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/ojizero/gracefully"
)

func main() {
  var h http.Handler // ... build your http handler
  var addr string    // set the address to listen to
  gracefully.ServeHandler(h, addr)
}

And in case you have an http.Server instance you can use

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/ojizero/gracefully"
)

func main() {
  var srv http.Server // ... build your http server
  gracefully.Serve(srv)
}
