Should I upgrade my Iris?

Developers are not forced to upgrade if they don't really need it. Upgrade whenever you feel ready.

Iris uses the vendor directory feature, so you get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes.

How to upgrade: Open your command-line and execute this command: go get -u github.com/kataras/iris.

Fr, 06 October 2017 | v8.4.5

  • Badger team added support for transactions yesterday, therefore the badger session database is updated via https://github.com/kataras/iris/commit/0b48927562a2202809a7674ebedb738dc3da57e8.
  • MVC: Support more than one path parameters with a single By, when the By keyword is the last word and the func's input arguments are more than one i.e GetBy(name string, age int), note that you can still use the older way of doing this; GetByBy(string, int). It's an enhancement of the kataras#751 feature request.
  • MVC: Give controllers the ability to auto-initialize themselves by OnActivate func derives from the new ActivateListener interface, this can be used to perform any custom actions when the app registers the supported Controllers. See mvc/session_controller.go for a good use case.
  • errors.Reporter.AddErr returns true if the error is added to the stack, otherwise false.
  • @ZaniaDeveloper fixed kataras#778 with PR: kataras#779.
  • Add StatusSeeOther at mvc login example for Redirection, reported by @motecshine at kataras#777.
  • Fix DisableVersionChecker configuration field is not being passed correctly when it was true via iris.Run(..., iris.WithConfiguration{DisableVersionChecker:true, ...}) call.

Su, 01 October 2017 | v8.4.4

  • Fix kataras#762 reported by @xkylsoft
  • Fix kataras#771 reported by @cdren
  • Improvements to the memstore's GetInt, GetInt64, GetFloat64, GetBool and remove the golang/net/context's interface completion from Context, read the changes for more
  • Add two examples for folder structuring as requested at kataras#748
  • Add node.js express benchmarks similar to iris and netcore

We, 27 September 2017 | v8.4.3

Fr, 15 September 2017 | v8.4.2

MVC

Support more than one dynamic method function receivers.

package main

import "github.com/kataras/iris"

func main() {
    app := iris.New()
    app.Controller("/user", new(UserController))
    app.Run(iris.Addr("localhost:8080"))
}

type UserController struct { iris.Controller }

// Maps to GET /user
// Request example: http://localhost:8080/user
// as usual.
func (c *UserController) Get() {
    c.Text = "hello from /user"
}

// Maps to GET /user/{paramfirst:long}
// Request example: http://localhost:8080/user/42
// as usual.
func (c *UserController) GetBy(userID int64) {
    c.Ctx.Writef("hello user with id: %d", userID)
}

// NEW:
// Maps to GET /user/{paramfirst:long}/business/{paramsecond:long}
// Request example: http://localhost:8080/user/42/business/93
func (c *UserController) GetByBusinessBy(userID int64, businessID int64) {
    c.Ctx.Writef("fetch a business id: %d that user with id: %d owns, may make your db query faster",
    businessID, userID)
}

Th, 07 September 2017 | v8.4.1

Routing

Add a macro type for booleans: app.Get("/mypath/{paramName:boolean}", myHandler).

+------------------------+
| {param:boolean}        |
+------------------------+
bool type
only "1" or "t" or "T" or "TRUE" or "true" or "True"
or "0" or "f" or "F" or "FALSE" or "false" or "False"

Add context.Params().GetBool(paramName string) (bool, error) respectfully.

app := iris.New()
app.Get("/mypath/{has:boolean}", func(ctx iris.Context) { // <--
    // boolean first return value
    // error as second return value
    //
    // error will be always nil here because
    // we use the {has:boolean} so router
    // makes sure that the parameter is a boolean
    // otherwise it will return a 404 not found http error code
    // skipping the call of this handler.
    has, _ := ctx.Params().GetBool("has") // <--
    if has {
        ctx.HTML("<strong>it's true</strong>")
    }else {
        ctx.HTML("<strong>it's false</string>")
    }
})
// [...]

MVC

Support for boolean method receivers, i.e GetBy(bool), PostBy(bool)....

app := iris.New()

app.Controller("/equality", new(Controller))
type Controller struct {
    iris.Controller
}

// handles the "/equality" path.
func (c *Controller) Get() {

}

// registers and handles the path: "/equality/{param:boolean}".
func (c *Controller) GetBy(is bool) { // <--
    // [...]
}

Supported types for method functions receivers are: int, int64, bool and string.

Su, 27 August 2017 | v8.4.0

Miscellaneous

Router

Add a new macro type for path parameters, long, it's the go type int64.

app.Get("/user/{id:long}", func(ctx context.Context) {
	userID, _ := ctx.Params().GetInt64("id")
})

MVC

The ability to pre-calculate, register and map different (relative) paths inside a single controller with zero performance cost.

Meaning that after a go get -u github.com/kataras/iris you will be able to use things like these:

If app.Controller("/user", new(user.Controller))

  • func(*Controller) Get() - GET:/user , as usual.
  • func(*Controller) Post() - POST:/user, as usual.
  • func(*Controller) GetLogin() - GET:/user/login
  • func(*Controller) PostLogin() - POST:/user/login
  • func(*Controller) GetProfileFollowers() - GET:/user/profile/followers
  • func(*Controller) PostProfileFollowers() - POST:/user/profile/followers
  • func(*Controller) GetBy(id int64) - GET:/user/{param:long}
  • func(*Controller) PostBy(id int64) - POST:/user/{param:long}

If app.Controller("/profile", new(profile.Controller))

  • func(*Controller) GetBy(username string) - GET:/profile/{param:string}

If app.Controller("/assets", new(file.Controller))

  • func(*Controller) GetByWildard(path string) - GET:/assets/{param:path}

Example can be found at: _examples/mvc/login/user/controller.go.

Pretty awesome, right?

We, 23 August 2017 | v8.3.4

Give read access to the current request context's route, a feature that many of you asked a lot.

func(ctx context.Context) {
	_ = ctx.GetCurrentRoute().Name()
	//					.Method() returns string, same as ctx.Method().
	//					.Subdomain() returns string, the registered subdomain.
	//					.Path() returns string, the registered path.
	//					.IsOnline() returns boolean.
}
type MyController struct {
	mvc.Controller
}

func (c *MyController) Get(){
	_ = c.Route().Name() // same as `c.Ctx.GetCurrentRoute().Name()`.
	// [...]
}

Updated: 24 August 2017

This evening, on the next version 8.3.5:

Able to pre-calculate, register and map different (relative) paths inside a single controller with zero performance cost.

Meaning that in the future you will be able to use something like these:

If app.Controller("/user", new(user.Controller))

  • func(c *Controller) Get() - GET:/user , as usual.
  • func(c *Controller) Post() - POST:/user, as usual.
  • func(c *Controller) GetLogin() - GET:/user/login
  • func(c *Controller) PostLogin() - POST:/user/login
  • func(c *Controller) GetProfileFollowers() - GET:/user/profile/followers
  • func(c *Controller) PostProfileFollowers() - POST:/user/profile/followers
  • func(c *Controller) GetBy() - GET:/user/{param}
  • func(c *Controller) GetByName(name string) - GET:/user/{name}
  • func(c *Controller) PostByName(name string) - POST:/user/{name}
  • func(c *Controller) GetByID(id int64 || int) - GET:/user/{id:int}
  • func(c *Controller) PostByID(id int64 || int) - POST:/user/{id:int}

Watch and stay tuned my friends.

We, 23 August 2017 | v8.3.3

Better debug messages when using MVC.

Add support for recursively binding and custom controllers embedded to other custom controller, that's the new feature. That simply means that Iris users are able to use "shared" controllers everywhere; when binding, using models, get/set persistence data, adding middleware, intercept request flow.

This will help web authors to split the logic at different controllers. Those controllers can be also used as "standalone" to serve a page somewhere else in the application as well.

My personal advice to you is to always organize and split your code nicely and wisely in order to avoid using such as an advanced MVC feature, at least any time soon.

I'm aware that this is not always an easy task to do, therefore is here if you ever need it :)

A ridiculous simple example of this feature can be found at the mvc/controller_test.go file.

Tu, 22 August 2017 | v8.3.2

MVC

When one or more values of handler type (func(ctx context.Context)) are passed right to the controller initialization then they will be recognised and act as middleware(s) that ran even before the controller activation, there is no reason to load the whole controller if the main handler or its BeginRequest are not "allowed" to be executed.

Example Code

func checkLogin(ctx context.Context) {
	if !myCustomAuthMethodPassed {
		// [set a status or redirect, you know what to do]
		ctx.StatusCode(iris.StatusForbidden)
		return
	}

	// [continue to the next handler, at this example is our controller itself]
	ctx.Next()
}

// [...]
app.Controller(new(ProfileController), checkLogin)
// [...]

Usage of these kind of MVC features could be found at the mvc/controller_test.go file.

Other minor enhancements

  • fix issue #726*
  • fix redis sessiondb expiration*
  • update recursively when new version is available*
  • some minor session enhancements*

Sa, 19 August 2017 | v8.3.1

First of all I want to thank you for the 100% green feedback you gratefully sent me you about my latest article Go vs .NET Core in terms of HTTP performance, published at medium's hackernoon.com and dev.to. I really appreciate it💓

No API Changes.

However two more methods added to the Controller.

  • RelPath() string, returns the relative path based on the controller's name and the request path.
  • RelTmpl() string, returns the relative template directory based on the controller's name.

These are useful when dealing with big controllers, they help you to keep align with any future changes inside your application.

Let's refactor our ProfileController enhancemed by these two new functions.

func (pc *ProfileController) tmpl(relativeTmplPath string) {
	// the relative template files directory of this controller.
	views := pc.RelTmpl()
	pc.Tmpl = views + relativeTmplPath
}

func (pc *ProfileController) match(relativeRequestPath string) bool {
	// the relative request path of this controller.
	path := pc.RelPath()
	return path == relativeRequestPath
}

func (pc *ProfileController) Get() {
	// requested: "/profile"
	// so relative path is "/" because of the ProfileController.
	if pc.match("/") {

		// views/profile/index.html
		pc.tmpl("index.html")
		return
	}

	// requested: "/profile/browse"
	// so relative path is "/browse".
	if pc.match("/browse") {
		pc.Path = "/profile"
		return
	}

	// requested: "/profile/me"
	// so the relative path is "/me"
	if pc.match("/me") {
		
		// views/profile/me.html
		pc.tmpl("me.html")
		return
	}

	// requested: "/profile/$ID"
	// so the relative path is "/$ID"
	id, _ := pc.Params.GetInt64("id")

	user, found := pc.DB.GetUserByID(id)
	if !found {
		pc.Status = iris.StatusNotFound

		// views/profile/notfound.html
		pc.tmpl("notfound.html")
		pc.Data["ID"] = id
		return
	}

	// views/profile/profile.html
	pc.tmpl("profile.html")
	pc.User = user
}

Good news for devs that are used to write their web apps using the MVC architecture pattern.

Implement a whole new mvc package with additional support for models and easy binding.

@kataras started to develop that feature by version 8.2.5, back then it didn't seem to be a large feature and maybe a game-changer, so it lived inside the kataras/iris/core/router/controller.go file. However with this version, so many things are implemented for the MVC and we needed a new whole package, this new package is the kataras/iris/mvc, but if you used go 1.9 to build then you don't have to do any refactor, you could use the iris.Controller type alias.

People who used the mvc from its baby steps(v8.2.5) the only syntactic change you'll have to do is to rename the router.Controller to mvc.Controller:

Before:

import "github.com/kataras/iris/core/router"
type MyController struct {
    router.Controller
}

Now:

import "github.com/kataras/iris/mvc"
type MyController struct {
    mvc.Controller
    // if you build with go1.9 you can omit the import of mvc package
    // and just use `iris.Controller` instead.
}

MVC (Model View Controller)

From version 8.3 and after Iris has first-class support for the MVC pattern, you'll not find these stuff anywhere else in the Go world.

Example Code

package main

import (
	"sync"

	"github.com/kataras/iris"
	"github.com/kataras/iris/mvc"
)

func main() {
	app := iris.New()
	app.RegisterView(iris.HTML("./views", ".html"))

	// when we have a path separated by spaces
	// then the Controller is registered to all of them one by one.
	//
	// myDB is binded to the controller's `*DB` field: use only structs and pointers.
	app.Controller("/profile /profile/browse /profile/{id:int} /profile/me",
		new(ProfileController), myDB) // IMPORTANT

	app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}

// UserModel our example model which will render on the template.
type UserModel struct {
	ID       int64
	Username string
}

// DB is our example database.
type DB struct {
	usersTable map[int64]UserModel
	mu         sync.RWMutex
}

// GetUserByID imaginary database lookup based on user id.
func (db *DB) GetUserByID(id int64) (u UserModel, found bool) {
	db.mu.RLock()
	u, found = db.usersTable[id]
	db.mu.RUnlock()
	return
}

var myDB = &DB{
	usersTable: map[int64]UserModel{
		1:  {1, "kataras"},
		2:  {2, "makis"},
		42: {42, "jdoe"},
	},
}

// ProfileController our example user controller which controls
// the paths of "/profile" "/profile/{id:int}" and "/profile/me".
type ProfileController struct {
	mvc.Controller // IMPORTANT

	User UserModel `iris:"model"`
	// we will bind it but you can also tag it with`iris:"persistence"`
	// and init the controller with manual &PorifleController{DB: myDB}.
	DB *DB
}

// Get method handles all "GET" HTTP Method requests of the controller's paths.
func (pc *ProfileController) Get() { // IMPORTANT
	path := pc.Path

	// requested: /profile path
	if path == "/profile" {
		pc.Tmpl = "profile/index.html"
		return
	}
	// requested: /profile/browse
	// this exists only to proof the concept of changing the path:
	// it will result to a redirection.
	if path == "/profile/browse" {
		pc.Path = "/profile"
		return
	}

	// requested: /profile/me path
	if path == "/profile/me" {
		pc.Tmpl = "profile/me.html"
		return
	}

	// requested: /profile/$ID
	id, _ := pc.Params.GetInt64("id")

	user, found := pc.DB.GetUserByID(id)
	if !found {
		pc.Status = iris.StatusNotFound
		pc.Tmpl = "profile/notfound.html"
		pc.Data["ID"] = id
		return
	}

	pc.Tmpl = "profile/profile.html"
	pc.User = user
}


/*
func (pc *ProfileController) Post() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Put() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Delete() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Connect() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Head() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Patch() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Options() {}
func (pc *ProfileController) Trace() {}
*/

/*
func (pc *ProfileController) All() {}
//        OR
func (pc *ProfileController) Any() {}
*/

Iris web framework supports Request data, Models, Persistence Data and Binding with the fastest possible execution.

Characteristics

All HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve GET then the controller should have a function named Get(), you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller struct.

Persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) via iris:"persistence" tag right to the field or Bind using app.Controller("/" , new(myController), theBindValue).

Models inside your Controller struct (set-ed at the Method function and rendered by the View) via iris:"model" tag right to the field, i.e User UserModel `iris:"model" name:"user"` view will recognise it as {{.user}}. If name tag is missing then it takes the field's name, in this case the "User".

Access to the request path and its parameters via the Path and Params fields.

Access to the template file that should be rendered via the Tmpl field.

Access to the template data that should be rendered inside the template file via Data field.

Access to the template layout via the Layout field.

Access to the low-level context.Context via the Ctx field.

Get the relative request path by using the controller's name via RelPath().

Get the relative template path directory by using the controller's name via RelTmpl().

Flow as you used to, Controllers can be registered to any Party, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected.

Optional BeginRequest(ctx) function to perform any initialization before the method execution, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data.

Optional EndRequest(ctx) function to perform any finalization after any method executed.

Inheritance, recursively, see for example our mvc.SessionController, it has the mvc.Controller as an embedded field and it adds its logic to its BeginRequest, here.

Read access to the current route via the Route field.

Using Iris MVC for code reuse

By creating components that are independent of one another, developers are able to reuse components quickly and easily in other applications. The same (or similar) view for one application can be refactored for another application with different data because the view is simply handling how the data is being displayed to the user.

If you're new to back-end web development read about the MVC architectural pattern first, a good start is that wikipedia article.

Follow the examples below,

Bugs

Fix #723 reported by @speedwheel.

Mo, 14 August 2017 | v8.2.6

Able to call done/end handlers inside a Controller, via optional EndRequest(ctx context.Context) function inside the controller struct.

// it's called after t.Get()/Post()/Put()/Delete()/Connect()/Head()/Patch()/Options()/Trace().
func (t *testControllerEndRequestFunc) EndRequest(ctx context.Context) {
    // 2.
    // [your code goes here...]
}

// will handle "GET" request HTTP method only.
func (t *testControllerEndRequestFunc) Get() {
    // 1.
    // [your code goes here...]
}

Look at the v8.2.5 changelog to learn more about the new Iris Controllers feature.

Su, 13 August 2017 | v8.2.5

Good news for devs that are used to write their web apps using the MVC-style app architecture.

Yesterday I wrote a tutorial on how you can transform your raw Handlers to Controllers using the existing tools only (Iris is the most modular web framework out there, we all have no doubt about this).

Today, I did implement the Controller idea as built'n feature inside Iris. Our Controller supports many things among them are:

  • all HTTP Methods are supported, for example if want to serve GET then the controller should have a function named Get(), you can define more than one method function to serve in the same Controller struct
  • persistence data inside your Controller struct (share data between requests) via iris:"persistence" tag right to the field
  • optional BeginRequest(ctx) function to perform any initialization before the methods, useful to call middlewares or when many methods use the same collection of data
  • optional EndRequest(ctx) function to perform any finalization after the methods executed
  • access to the request path parameters via the Params field
  • access to the template file that should be rendered via the Tmpl field
  • access to the template data that should be rendered inside the template file via Data field
  • access to the template layout via the Layout field
  • access to the low-level context.Context via the Ctx field
  • flow as you used to, Controllers can be registered to any Party, including Subdomains, the Party's begin and done handlers work as expected.

It's very easy to get started, the only function you need to call instead of app.Get/Post/Put/Delete/Connect/Head/Patch/Options/Trace is the app.Controller.

Example Code:

// file: main.go

package main

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris"

    "controllers"
)

func main() {
    app := iris.New()
    app.RegisterView(iris.HTML("./views", ".html"))

    app.Controller("/", new(controllers.Index))

    // http://localhost:8080/
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
}
// file: controllers/index.go

package controllers

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris/core/router"
)

// Index is our index example controller.
type Index struct {
    mvc.Controller
    // if you're using go1.9: 
    // you can omit the /core/router import statement
    // and just use the `iris.Controller` instead.
}

// will handle GET method on http://localhost:8080/
func (c *Index) Get() {
    c.Tmpl = "index.html"
    c.Data["title"] = "Index page"
    c.Data["message"] = "Hello world!"
}

// will handle POST method on http://localhost:8080/
func (c *Index) Post() {}

Tip: declare a func(c *Index) All() {} or Any() to register all HTTP Methods.

A full example can be found at the _examples/mvc folder.

Tu, 08 August 2017 | v8.2.1

No API Changes. Great news for the unique iris sessions library, once again.

NEW: LevelDB-based session database implemented, example here.

Redis-based sessiondb has no longer the MaxAgeSeconds config field, this is passed automatically by the session manager, now.

All sessions databases have an Async(bool) function, if turned on then all synchronization between the memory store and the back-end database will happen inside different go routines. By-default async is false but it's recommended to turn it on, it will make sessions to be stored faster, at most.

All reported issues have been fixed, the API is simplified by v8.2.0 so everyone can create and use any back-end storage for application's sessions persistence.

Mo, 07 August 2017 | v8.2.0

No Common-API Changes.

Good news for iris sessions back-end databases users.

Info for session database authors Session Database API Changed to: 
type Database interface {
	Load(sid string) RemoteStore
	Sync(p SyncPayload)
}

// SyncPayload reports the state of the session inside a database sync action.
type SyncPayload struct {
	SessionID string

	Action Action
	// on insert it contains the new key and the value
	// on update it contains the existing key and the new value
	// on delete it contains the key (the value is nil)
	// on clear it contains nothing (empty key, value is nil)
	// on destroy it contains nothing (empty key, value is nil)
	Value memstore.Entry
	// Store contains the whole memory store, this store
	// contains the current, updated from memory calls,
	// session data (keys and values). This way
	// the database has access to the whole session's data
	// every time.
	Store RemoteStore
}


// RemoteStore is a helper which is a wrapper
// for the store, it can be used as the session "table" which will be
// saved to the session database.
type RemoteStore struct {
	// Values contains the whole memory store, this store
	// contains the current, updated from memory calls,
	// session data (keys and values). This way
	// the database has access to the whole session's data
	// every time.
	Values memstore.Store
	// on insert it contains the expiration datetime
	// on update it contains the new expiration datetime(if updated or the old one)
	// on delete it will be zero
	// on clear it will be zero
	// on destroy it will be zero
	Lifetime LifeTime
}

Read more at sessions/database.go, view how three built'n session databases are being implemented here.

All sessions databases are updated and they performant even faster than before.

  • NEW raw file-based session database implemented, example here
  • NEW boltdb-based session database implemented, example here (recommended as it's safer and faster)
  • redis sessiondb updated to the latest api

Under the cover, session database works entirely differently than before but nothing changed from the user's perspective, so upgrade with go get -u github.com/kataras/iris and sleep well.

Tu, 01 August 2017 | v8.1.3

  • Add Option function to the html view engine: kataras#694
  • Fix sessions backend databases restore expiration: kataras#692 by @corebreaker
  • Add PartyFunc, same as Party but receives a function with the sub router as its argument instead [GO1.9 Users-ONLY]

Mo, 31 July 2017 | v8.1.2

Add a ConfigureHost function as an alternative way to customize the hosts via host.Configurator. The first way was to pass host.Configurator as optional arguments on iris.Runners built'n functions (iris#Server, iris#Listener, iris#Addr, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS), example of this can be found there.

Example Code:

package main

import (
	stdContext "context"
	"time"

	"github.com/kataras/iris"
	"github.com/kataras/iris/context"
	"github.com/kataras/iris/core/host"
)

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

	app.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) {

	})
	// su.RegisterOnError
	// su.RegisterOnServe
}

Su, 30 July 2017

Greetings my friends, nothing special today, no version number yet.

We just improve the, external, Iris Logging library and the Columns config field from middleware/logger defaults to false now. Upgrade with go get -u github.com/kataras/iris and have fun!

Sa, 29 July 2017 | v8.1.1

No breaking changes, just an addition to make your life easier.

This feature has been implemented after @corebreaker 's request, posted at: kataras#688. He was also tried to fix that by a PR, we thanks him but the problem with that PR was the duplication and the separation of concepts, however we thanks him for pushing for a solution. The current feature's implementation gives a permant solution to host supervisor access issues.

Optional host configurators added to all common serve and listen functions.

Below you'll find how to gain access to the host, the second way is the new feature.

Hosts

Access to all hosts that serve your application can be provided by the Application#Hosts field, after the Run method.

But the most common scenario is that you may need access to the host before the Run method, there are two ways of gain access to the host supervisor, read below.

First way is to use the app.NewHost to create a new host and use one of its Serve or Listen functions to start the application via the iris#Raw Runner. Note that this way needs an extra import of the net/http package.

Example Code:

h := app.NewHost(&http.Server{Addr:":8080"})
h.RegisterOnShutdown(func(){
    println("server was closed!")
})

app.Run(iris.Raw(h.ListenAndServe))

Second, and probably easier way is to use the host.Configurator.

Note that this method requires an extra import statement of "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" when using go < 1.9, if you're targeting on go1.9 then you can use the iris#Supervisor and omit the extra host import.

All common Runners we saw earlier (iris#Addr, iris#Listener, iris#Server, iris#TLS, iris#AutoTLS) accept a variadic argument of host.Configurator, there are just func(*host.Supervisor). Therefore the Application gives you the rights to modify the auto-created host supervisor through these.

Example Code:

package main

import (
    stdContext "context"
    "time"

    "github.com/kataras/iris"
    "github.com/kataras/iris/context"
    "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host"
)

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

    app.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) {
        ctx.HTML("<h1>Hello, try to refresh the page after ~10 secs</h1>")
    })

    app.Logger().Info("Wait 10 seconds and check your terminal again")
    // simulate a shutdown action here...
    go func() {
        <-time.After(10 * time.Second)
        timeout := 5 * time.Second
        ctx, cancel := stdContext.WithTimeout(stdContext.Background(), timeout)
        defer cancel()
        // close all hosts, this will notify the callback we had register
        // inside the `configureHost` func.
        app.Shutdown(ctx)
    }()

    // start the server as usual, the only difference is that
    // we're adding a second (optional) function
    // to configure the just-created host supervisor.
    //
    // http://localhost:8080
    // wait 10 seconds and check your terminal.
    app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080", configureHost), iris.WithoutServerError(iris.ErrServerClosed))

}

func configureHost(su *host.Supervisor) {
    // here we have full access to the host that will be created
    // inside the `Run` function.
    //
    // we register a shutdown "event" callback
    su.RegisterOnShutdown(func() {
        println("server is closed")
    })
    // su.RegisterOnError
    // su.RegisterOnServe
}

We, 26 July 2017 | v8.1.0

The app.Logger() *logrus.Logger was replaced with a custom implementation [golog], it's compatible with the logrus package and other open-source golang loggers as well, because of that: kataras#680 (comment).

The API didn't change much except these:

  • the new implementation does not recognise Fatal and Panic because, actually, iris never panics
  • the old app.Logger().Out = io.Writer should be written as app.Logger().SetOutput(io.Writer)

The new implementation, golog is featured, three times faster than logrus and it completes every common usage.

Integration

I understand that many of you may use logrus outside of Iris too. To integrate an external logrus logger just Install it-- all print operations will be handled by the provided logrus instance.

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris"
    "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)

package main(){
    app := iris.New()
    app.Logger().Install(logrus.StandardLogger()) // the package-level logrus instance
    // [...]
}

For more information about our new logger please navigate to: https://github.com/kataras/golog - contributions are welcomed as well!

Sa, 23 July 2017 | v8.0.7

Fix It's true that with UseGlobal the "/path1.txt" route call the middleware but cause the prepend, the order is inversed

Sa, 22 July 2017 | v8.0.5 & v8.0.6

No API Changes.

Performance

Add an experimental Configuration#EnableOptimizations option.

type Configuration {
    // [...]

    // EnableOptimization when this field is true
    // then the application tries to optimize for the best performance where is possible.
    //
    // Defaults to false.
    EnableOptimizations bool `yaml:"EnableOptimizations" toml:"EnableOptimizations"`

    // [...]
}

Usage:

app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithOptimizations)

Django view engine

@corebreaker pushed a PR to solve the Problem for {%extends%} in Django Engine with embedded files.

Logger

Remove the vendor/github.com/sirupsen/logrus folder, as a temporary solution for the kataras#680 (comment).

Future versions

The logrus will be replaced with a custom implementation, because of that: kataras#680 (comment).

As far as we know, @kataras is working on this new implementation, see here, which will be compatible with the logrus package and other open-source golang loggers as well.

Mo, 17 July 2017 | v8.0.4

No API changes.

HTTP Errors

Fix a rare behavior: error handlers are not executed correctly when a before-handler by-passes the order of execution, relative to the previous feature.

Request Logger

Add Configuration#MessageContextKey. Example can be found at _examples/http_request/request-logger/main.go.

Su, 16 July 2017 | v8.0.3

No API changes.

Relative issues:

HTTP Errors

Able to register a chain of Handlers (and middleware with ctx.Next() support like routes) for a specific error code, read more at issues/674. Usage example can be found at _examples/http_request/request-logger/main.go.

New function to register a Handler or a chain of Handlers for all official http error codes, by calling the new app.OnAnyErrorCode(func(ctx context.Context){}), read more at issues/675. Usage example can be found at _examples/http_request/request-logger/main.go.

Request Logger

Add Configuration#LogFunc and Configuration#Columns fields, read more at issues/676. Example can be found at _examples/http_request/request-logger/request-logger-file/main.go.

Have fun and don't forget to star the github repository, it gives me power to continue publishing my work!

Sa, 15 July 2017 | v8.0.2

Okay my friends, this is a good time to upgrade, I did implement a feature that you were asking many times at the past.

Iris' router can now handle root-level wildcard paths app.Get("/{paramName:path}).

In case you're wondering: no it does not conflict with other static or dynamic routes, meaning that you can code something like this:

// it isn't conflicts with the rest of the static routes or dynamic routes with a path prefix.
app.Get("/{pathParamName:path}", myHandler)

Or even like this:

package main

import (
	"github.com/kataras/iris"
	"github.com/kataras/iris/context"
)

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

	// this works as expected now,
	// will handle all GET requests
	// except:
	// /                     -> because of app.Get("/", ...)
	// /other/anything/here  -> because of app.Get("/other/{paramother:path}", ...)
	// /other2/anything/here -> because of app.Get("/other2/{paramothersecond:path}", ...)
	// /other2/static        -> because of app.Get("/other2/static", ...)
	//
	// It isn't conflicts with the rest of the routes, without routing performance cost!
	//
	// i.e /something/here/that/cannot/be/found/by/other/registered/routes/order/not/matters
	app.Get("/{p:path}", h)

	// this will handle only GET /
	app.Get("/", staticPath)

	// this will handle all GET requests starting with "/other/"
	//
	// i.e /other/more/than/one/path/parts
	app.Get("/other/{paramother:path}", other)

	// this will handle all GET requests starting with "/other2/"
	// except /other2/static (because of the next static route)
	//
	// i.e /other2/more/than/one/path/parts
	app.Get("/other2/{paramothersecond:path}", other2)

	// this will handle only GET /other2/static
	app.Get("/other2/static", staticPath)

	app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithoutServerError(iris.ErrServerClosed))
}

func h(ctx context.Context) {
	param := ctx.Params().Get("p")
	ctx.WriteString(param)
}

func other(ctx context.Context) {
	param := ctx.Params().Get("paramother")
	ctx.Writef("from other: %s", param)
}

func other2(ctx context.Context) {
	param := ctx.Params().Get("paramothersecond")
	ctx.Writef("from other2: %s", param)
}

func staticPath(ctx context.Context) {
	ctx.Writef("from the static path: %s", ctx.Path())
}

If you find any bugs with this change please send me a chat message in order to investigate it, I'm totally free at weekends.

Th, 13 July 2017 | v8.0.1

Nothing tremendous at this minor version.

We've just added a configuration field in order to ignore errors received by the Run function, see below.

Configuration#IgnoreServerErrors

type Configuration struct {
    // [...]

    // IgnoreServerErrors will cause to ignore the matched "errors"
    // from the main application's `Run` function.
    // This is a slice of string, not a slice of error
    // users can register these errors using yaml or toml configuration file
    // like the rest of the configuration fields.
    //
    // See `WithoutServerError(...)` function too.
    //
    // Defaults to an empty slice.
    IgnoreServerErrors []string `yaml:"IgnoreServerErrors" toml:"IgnoreServerErrors"`

    // [...]
}

Configuration#WithoutServerError

// WithoutServerError will cause to ignore the matched "errors"
// from the main application's `Run` function.
//
// Usage:
// err := app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithoutServerError(iris.ErrServerClosed))
// will return `nil` if the server's error was `http/iris#ErrServerClosed`.
//
// See `Configuration#IgnoreServerErrors []string` too.
WithoutServerError(errors ...error) Configurator

By default no error is being ignored, of course.

Example code: _examples/http-listening/listen-addr/omit-server-errors

package main

import (
    "github.com/kataras/iris"
    "github.com/kataras/iris/context"
)

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

    app.Get("/", func(ctx context.Context) {
    	ctx.HTML("<h1>Hello World!/</h1>")
    })

    err := app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithoutServerError(iris.ErrServerClosed))
    if err != nil {
        // do something
    }
    // same as:
    // err := app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))
    // if err != nil && (err != iris.ErrServerClosed || err.Error() != iris.ErrServerClosed.Error()) {
    //     [...]
    // }
}

At first we didn't want to implement something like that because it's ridiculous easy to do it manually but a second thought came to us, that many applications are based on configuration, therefore it would be nice to have something to ignore errors by simply string values that can be passed to the application's configuration via toml or yaml files too.

This feature has been implemented after a request of ignoring the iris/http#ErrServerClosed from the Run function: https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/668

Mo, 10 July 2017 | v8.0.0

📈 One and a half years with Iris and You...

Despite the deflamations, the clickbait articles, the removed posts of mine at reddit/r/golang, the unexpected and inadequate ban from the gophers slack room by @dlsniper alone the previous week without any reason or inform, Iris is still here and will be.

  • 7070 github stars
  • 749 github forks
  • 1m total views at its documentation
  • ~800$ at donations (there're a lot for a golang open-source project, thanks to you)
  • ~550 reported bugs fixed
  • ~30 community feature requests have been implemented

🔥 Reborn

As you may have heard I have huge responsibilities on my new position at Dubai nowadays, therefore I don't have the needed time to work on this project anymore.

After a month of negotiations and searching I succeed to find a decent software engineer to continue my work on the open source community.

The leadership of this, open-source, repository was transferred to hiveminded, the author of iris-based get-ion/ion, he actually did an excellent job on the framework, he kept the code as minimal as possible and at the same time added more features, examples and middleware(s).

These types of projects need heart and sacrifices to continue offer the best developer experience like a paid software, please do support him as you did with me!

📰 Changelog

app. = app := iris.New(); app.

ctx. = func(ctx context.Context) { ctx. }

Docker

Docker and kubernetes integration showcase, see the iris-contrib/cloud-native-go repository as an example.

Logger

  • Logger which was an io.Writer was replaced with the pluggable logrus.
    • which you still attach an io.Writer with app.Logger().Out = an io.Writer.
    • iris as always logs only critical errors, you can disable them with app.Logger().Level = iris.NoLog
    • the request logger outputs the incoming requests as INFO level.

Sessions

Remove ctx.Session() and app.AttachSessionManager, devs should import and use the sessions package as standalone, it's totally optional, devs can use any other session manager too. Examples here.

Websockets

The github.com/kataras/iris/websocket package does not handle the endpoint and client side automatically anymore. Example code:

func setupWebsocket(app *iris.Application) {
    // create our echo websocket server
    ws := websocket.New(websocket.Config{
    	ReadBufferSize:  1024,
    	WriteBufferSize: 1024,
    })
    ws.OnConnection(handleConnection)
    // serve the javascript built'n client-side library,
    // see weboskcets.html script tags, this path is used.
    app.Any("/iris-ws.js", func(ctx context.Context) {
    	ctx.Write(websocket.ClientSource)
    })

    // register the server on an endpoint.
    // see the inline javascript code in the websockets.html, this endpoint is used to connect to the server.
    app.Get("/echo", ws.Handler())
}

More examples here

View

Rename app.AttachView(...) to app.RegisterView(...).

Users can omit the import of github.com/kataras/iris/view and use the github.com/kataras/iris package to refer to the view engines, i.e: app.RegisterView(iris.HTML("./templates", ".html")) is the same as import "github.com/kataras/iris/view" [...] app.RegisterView(view.HTML("./templates" ,".html")).

Examples here

Security

At previous versions, when you called ctx.Remoteaddr() Iris could parse and return the client's IP from the "X-Real-IP", "X-Forwarded-For" headers. This was a security leak as you can imagine, because the user can modify them. So we've disabled these headers by-default and add an option to add/remove request headers that are responsible to parse and return the client's real IP.

// WithRemoteAddrHeader enables or adds a new or existing request header name
// that can be used to validate the client's real IP.
//
// Existing values are:
// "X-Real-Ip":             false,
// "X-Forwarded-For":       false,
// "CF-Connecting-IP": false
//
// Look `context.RemoteAddr()` for more.
WithRemoteAddrHeader(headerName string) Configurator // enables a header.
WithoutRemoteAddrHeader(headerName string) Configurator // disables a header.

For example, if you want to enable the "CF-Connecting-IP" header (cloudflare) you have to add the WithRemoteAddrHeader option to the app.Run function, at the end of your program.

app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithRemoteAddrHeader("CF-Connecting-IP"))
// This header name will be checked when ctx.RemoteAddr() called and if exists
// it will return the client's IP, otherwise it will return the default *http.Request's `RemoteAddr` field.

Miscellaneous

Fix typescript tools.

_examples folder has been ordered by feature and usage: - contains tests on some examples - new examples added, one of them shows how the reuseport feature on UNIX and BSD systems can be used to listen for incoming connections, see here

Replace supervisor's tasks with events, like RegisterOnShutdown, RegisterOnError, RegisterOnServe and fix the (unharmful) race condition when output the banner to the console. Global notifier for interrupt signals which can be disabled via app.Run([...], iris.WithoutInterruptHandler), look graceful-shutdown example for more.

More handlers are ported to Iris (they can be used as they are without iris.FromStd), these handlers can be found at iris-contrib/middleware. Feel free to put your own there.

Middleware Description Example
jwt Middleware checks for a JWT on the Authorization header on incoming requests and decodes it. iris-contrib/middleware/jwt/_example
cors HTTP Access Control. iris-contrib/middleware/cors/_example
secure Middleware that implements a few quick security wins. iris-contrib/middleware/secure/_example
tollbooth Generic middleware to rate-limit HTTP requests. iris-contrib/middleware/tollbooth/_examples/limit-handler
cloudwatch AWS cloudwatch metrics middleware. iris-contrib/middleware/cloudwatch/_example
new relic Official New Relic Go Agent. iris-contrib/middleware/newrelic/_example
prometheus Easily create metrics endpoint for the prometheus instrumentation tool iris-contrib/middleware/prometheus/_example

v7.x is deprecated because it sold as it is and it is not part of the public, stable gopkg.in iris versions. Developers/users of this library should upgrade their apps to v8.x, the refactor process will cost nothing for most of you, as the most common API remains as it was. The changelog history from that are being presented below.

Th, 15 June 2017 | v7.2.0

About our new home page

https://iris-go.com

Thanks to Santosh Anand the https://iris-go.com has been upgraded and it's really awesome!

Santosh is a freelancer, he has a great knowledge of nodejs and express js, Android, iOS, React Native, Vue.js etc, if you need a developer to find or create a solution for your problem or task, please contact with him.

The amount of the next two or three donations you'll send they will be immediately transferred to his own account balance, so be generous please!

Cache

Declare the iris.Cache alias to the new, improved and most-suited for common usage, cache.Handler function.

iris.Cache be used as middleware in the chain now, example here. However you can still use the cache as a wrapper by importing the github.com/kataras/iris/cache package.

File server

  • Fix that.

  • app.StaticHandler(requestPath string, systemPath string, showList bool, gzip bool) -> app.StaticHandler(systemPath,showList bool, gzip bool)

  • New feature for Single Page Applications, app.SPA(assetHandler context.Handler) implemented.

  • New app.StaticEmbeddedHandler(vdir string, assetFn func(name string) ([]byte, error), namesFn func() []string) added in order to be able to pass that on app.SPA(app.StaticEmbeddedHandler("./public", Asset, AssetNames)).

  • Fix app.StaticEmbedded(requestPath string, vdir string, assetFn func(name string) ([]byte, error), namesFn func() []string).

Examples:

app.StaticWeb doesn't works for root request path "/" anymore, use the new app.SPA instead.

WWW subdomain entry

  • Example added to copy all application's routes, including parties, to the www.mydomain.com

Wrapping the Router

  • Example added to show you how you can use the app.WrapRouter to implement a similar to app.SPA functionality, don't panic, it's easier than it sounds.

Testing

  • httptest.New(app *iris.Application, t *testing.T) -> httptest.New(t *testing.T, app *iris.Application).

  • New httptest.NewLocalListener() net.Listener added.

  • New httptest.NewLocalTLSListener(tcpListener net.Listener) net.Listener added.

Useful for testing tls-enabled servers:

Proxies are trying to understand local addresses in order to allow InsecureSkipVerify.

  • host.ProxyHandler(target *url.URL) *httputil.ReverseProxy.

  • host.NewProxy(hostAddr string, target *url.URL) *Supervisor.

    Tests here.

Tu, 13 June 2017 | v7.1.1

Fix that.

Mo, 12 June 2017 | v7.1.0

Fix that.

Su, 11 June 2017 | v7.0.5

Iris now supports static paths and dynamic paths for the same path prefix with zero performance cost:

app.Get("/profile/{id:int}", handler) and app.Get("/profile/create", createHandler) are not in conflict anymore.

The rest of the special Iris' routing features, including static & wildcard subdomains are still work like a charm.

This was one of the most popular community's feature requests. Click here to see a trivial example.

Sa, 10 June 2017 | v7.0.4

  • Simplify and add a test for the basicauth middleware, no need to be stored inside the Context anymore, developers can get the validated user(username and password) via context.Request().BasicAuth(). basicauth.Config.ContextKey was removed, just remove that field from your configuration, it's useless now.

Sa, 10 June 2017 | v7.0.3

  • New context.Session().PeekFlash("key") added, unlike GetFlash this will return the flash value but keep the message valid for the next requests too.
  • Complete the httptest example.
  • Fix the (marked as deprecated) ListenLETSENCRYPT function.
  • Upgrade the iris-contrib/middleware including JWT, CORS and Secure handlers.
  • Add OAuth2 example -- showcases the third-party package goth integration with Iris.

Community

Th, 08 June 2017 | v7.0.2

  • Able to set immutable data on sessions and context's storage. Aligned to fix an issue on slices and maps as reported here.

We, 07 June 2017 | v7.0.1

  • Proof of concept of an internal release generator, navigate here to read more.
  • Remove tray icon "feature", click here to learn why.

Sa, 03 June 2017

After 2+ months of hard work and collaborations, Iris version 7 was published earlier today.

If you're new to Iris you don't have to read all these, just navigate to the updated examples and you should be fine:)

Note that this section will not cover the internal changes, the difference is so big that anybody can see them with a glimpse, even the code structure itself.

Changes from v6

The whole framework was re-written from zero but I tried to keep the most common public API that iris developers use.

Vendoring /w update

The previous vendor action for v6 was done by-hand, now I'm using the go dep tool, I had to do some small steps:

  • remove files like testdata to reduce the folder size
  • rollback some of the "golang/x/net/ipv4" and "ipv6" source files because they are downloaded to their latest versions by go dep, but they had lines with the typealias feature, which is not ready by current golang version (it will be on August)
  • fix "cannot use internal package" at golang/x/net/ipv4 and ipv6 packages
    • rename the interal folder to was-internal, everywhere and fix its references.
  • fix "main redeclared in this block"
    • remove all examples folders.
  • remove main.go files on jsondiff lib, used by gavv/httpexpect, produces errors on test -v ./... while jd and jp folders are not used at all.

The go dep tool does what is says, as expected, don't be afraid of it now. I am totally recommending this tool for package authors, even if it's in its alpha state. I remember when Iris was in its alpha state and it had 4k stars on its first weeks/or month and that helped me a lot to fix reported bugs by users and make the framework even better, so give love to go dep from today!

General

  • Several enhancements for the typescript transpiler, view engine, websocket server and sessions manager
  • All Listen methods replaced with a single Run method, see here
  • Configuration, easier to modify the defaults, see here
  • HandlerFunc removed, just Handler of func(context.Context) where context.Context derives from import "github.com/kataras/iris/context" (NEW: this import path is optional, use iris.Context if you've installed Go 1.9)
    • Simplify API, i.e: instead of Handle,HandleFunc,Use,UseFunc,Done,DoneFunc,UseGlobal,UseGlobalFunc use Handle,Use,Done,UseGlobal.
  • Response time decreased even more (9-35%, depends on the application)
  • The Adaptors idea replaced with a more structural design pattern, but you have to apply these changes:
    • app.Adapt(view.HTML/Pug/Amber/Django/Handlebars...) -> app.AttachView(view.HTML/Pug/Amber/Django/Handlebars...)
    • app.Adapt(sessions.New(...)) -> app.AttachSessionManager(sessions.New(...))
    • app.Adapt(iris.LoggerPolicy(...)) -> app.AttachLogger(io.Writer)
    • app.Adapt(iris.RenderPolicy(...)) -> removed and replaced with the ability to replace the whole context with a custom one or override some methods of it, see below.

Routing

  • Remove of multiple routers, now we have the fresh Iris router which is based on top of the julien's httprouter.

    Update 11 June 2017: As of 7.0.5 this is changed, read here.

  • Subdomains routing algorithm has been improved.
  • Iris router is using a custom interpreter with parser and path evaluator to achieve the best expressiveness, with zero performance loss, you ever seen so far, i.e:
    • app.Get("/", "/users/{userid:int min(1)}", handler),
      • {username:string} or just {username}
      • {asset:path},
      • {firstname:alphabetical},
      • {requestfile:file} ,
      • {mylowercaseParam regexp([a-z]+)}.
      • The previous syntax of :param and *param still working as expected. Previous rules for paths confliction remain as they were.
        • Also, path parameter names should be only alphabetical now, numbers and symbols are not allowed (for your own good, I have seen a lot the last year...).

Click here for details.

It was my first attempt/experience on the interpreters field, so be good with it :)

Context

  • iris.Context pointer replaced with context.Context interface as we already mention
    • in order to be able to use a custom context and/or catch lifetime like BeginRequest and EndRequest from context itself, see below
  • context.JSON, context.JSONP, context.XML, context.Markdown, context.HTML work faster
  • context.Render("filename.ext", bindingViewData{}, options) -> context.View("filename.ext")
    • View renders only templates, it will not try to search if you have a restful renderer adapted, because, now, you can do it via method overriding using a custom Context.
    • Able to set context.ViewData and context.ViewLayout via middleware when executing a template.
  • context.SetStatusCode(statusCode) -> context.StatusCode(statusCode)
    • which is equivalent with the old EmitError too:
      • if status code >=400 given can automatically fire a custom http error handler if response wasn't written already.
    • context.StatusCode() -> context.GetStatusCode()
    • app.OnError -> app.OnErrorCode
    • Errors per party are removed by-default, you can just use one global error handler with logic like "if path starts with 'prefix' fire this error handler, else...".
  • Easy way to change Iris' default Context with a custom one, see here
  • context.ResponseWriter().SetBeforeFlush(...) works for Flush and HTTP/2 Push, respectfully
  • Several improvements under the Request transactions
  • Remember that you had to set a status code on each of the render-relative methods? Now it's not required, it just renders with the status code that user gave with context.StatusCode or with 200 OK, i.e: -context.JSON(iris.StatusOK, myJSON{}) -> context.JSON(myJSON{}).
    • Each one of the context's render methods has optional per-call settings,
    • the new API is even more easier to read, understand and use.

Server

  • Able to set custom underline *http.Server(s) with new Host (aka Server Supervisor) feature
    • Done and Err channels to catch shutdown or any errors on custom hosts,
    • Schedule custom tasks(with cancelation) when server is running, see here
  • Interrupt handler task for gracefully shutdown (when CTRL/CMD+C) are enabled by-default, you can disable its via configuration: app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"), iris.WithoutInterruptHandler)

Future plans

  • Future Go1.9's ServeTLS is ready when 1.9 released
  • Future Go1.9's typealias feature is ready when 1.9 released, i.e context.Context -> iris.Context just one import path instead of todays' two.
