📦 App

Static

Use the Static method to serve static files such as images, CSS, and JavaScript.

func (app *App) Static(prefix, root string, config ...Static) Router

Use the following code to serve files in a directory named ./public

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

// Serve files from multiple directories
app.Static("/", "./public")
// Serve files from "./files" directory:
app.Static("/", "./files")

You can use any virtual path prefix (where the path does not actually exist in the file system) for files that are served by the Static method, specify a prefix path for the static directory, as shown below:

app.Static("/static", "./public")
// => http://localhost:3000/static/hello.html
// => http://localhost:3000/static/js/jquery.js
// => http://localhost:3000/static/css/style.css

If you want to have a little bit more control regarding the settings for serving static files. You could use the fiber.Static struct to enable specific settings.

// Static represents settings for serving static files
type Static struct {
    // Transparently compresses responses if set to true
    // This works differently than the github.com/gofiber/compression middleware
    // The server tries minimizing CPU usage by caching compressed files.
    // It adds ".fiber.gz" suffix to the original file name.
    // Optional. Default value false
    Compress bool
    // Enables byte-range requests if set to true.
    // Optional. Default value false
    ByteRange bool
    // Enable directory browsing.
    // Optional. Default value false.
    Browse bool
    // File to serve when requesting a directory path.
    // Optional. Default value "index.html".
    Index string
}

// Custom config
app.Static("/", "./public", fiber.Static{
  Compress:   true,
  ByteRange:  true,
  Browse:     true,
  Index:      "john.html"
})

Route Handlers

Registeres a route bound to a specific HTTP method.

// HTTP methods
func (app *App) Get(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Head(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Post(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Put(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Delete(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Connect(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Options(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Trace(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Patch(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
// Add allows you to specifiy a method as value
func (app *App) Add(method, path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
// All will register the route on all HTTP methods
// Almost the same as app.Use but not bound to prefixes
func (app *App) All(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router

// Simple GET handler
app.Get("/api/list", func(c *fiber.Ctx)error{
  return c.SendString("I'm a GET request!")
})
// Simple POST handler
app.Post("/api/register", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
  return c.SendString("I'm a POST request!")
})

Use can be used for middleware packages and prefix catchers. These routes will only match the beggining of each path i.e. “/john” will match “/john/doe”, “/johnnnn”

// Match any request
app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.Next()
})
// Match request starting with /api
app.Use("/api", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.Next()
})
// Attach multiple handlers 
app.Use("/api",func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
  c.Set("X-Custom-Header", random.String(32))
    return c.Next()
}, func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.Next()
})

Group

You can group routes by creating a *Group struct.

Signature

func (app *App) Group(prefix string, handlers ...Handler) Router

Example

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()
  api := app.Group("/api", handler)  // /api
  v1 := api.Group("/v1", handler)   // /api/v1
  v1.Get("/list", handler)          // /api/v1/list
  v1.Get("/user", handler)          // /api/v1/user
  v2 := api.Group("/v2", handler)   // /api/v2
  v2.Get("/list", handler)          // /api/v2/list
  v2.Get("/user", handler)          // /api/v2/user
  app.Listen(3000)
}

Stack

This method returns the original router stack

func (app *App) Stack() [][]*Route

var handler = func(c *fiber.Ctx) {}
func main() {
    app := fiber.New()
    app.Get("/john", handler)
    app.Post("/register", handler)
    data, _ := json.MarshalIndent(app.Stack(), "", "  ")
    fmt.Println(string(data))
}

[
  [
    {
      "method": "GET",
      "path": "/john/:age",
      "params": [
        "age"
      ]
    }
  ],
  [
    {
      "method": "HEAD",
      "path": "/john/:age",
      "params": [
        "age"
      ]
    }
  ],
  [
    {
      "method": "POST",
      "path": "/register",
      "params": null
    }
  ]
]

Config

Config returns the app config as value ( read-only ).

func (app *App) Config() Config

Handler

Handler returns the server handler that can be used to serve custom *fasthttp.RequestCtx requests.

func (app *App) Handler() fasthttp.RequestHandler

Listen

Listen serves HTTP requests from the given address.

func (app *App) Listen(addr string) error

// Listen on port :8080 
app.Listen(":8080")
// Custom host
app.Listen("127.0.0.1:8080")

Listener

You can pass your own net.Listener using the Listener method. This method can be used to enable TLS/HTTPS.

func (app *App) Listener(ln net.Listener) error

ln, _ := net.Listen("tcp", ":3000")
cer, _:= tls.LoadX509KeyPair("server.crt", "server.key")
ln = tls.NewListener(ln, &tls.Config{Certificates: []tls.Certificate{cer}})
app.Listener(ln)

Test

Testing your application is done with the Test method. Use this method for creating _test.go files or when you need to debug your routing logic. The default timeout is 200ms if you want to disable a timeout altogether, pass -1 as a second argument.

func (app *App) Test(req *http.Request, msTimeout ...int) (*http.Response, error)

// Create route with GET method for test:
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
  fmt.Println(c.BaseURL())              // => http://google.com
  fmt.Println(c.Get("X-Custom-Header")) // => hi
  return c.SendString("hello, World!")
})
// http.Request
req := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "http://google.com", nil)
req.Header.Set("X-Custom-Header", "hi")
// http.Response
resp, _ := app.Test(req)
// Do something with results:
if resp.StatusCode == 200 {
  body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
  fmt.Println(string(body)) // => Hello, World!
}
