It builds a layer on top of HttpRouter to enable subrouting and flexible addition of middleware at any level - root, subrouter, a specific route.
Jett strives to be simple and easy to use with minimal abstractions. The core framework is less than 300 loc but is designed to be extendable with middleware. Comes packaged with a development server equipped for graceful shutdown and a few essential middleware.

Using Middleware
Jett supports any Middleware of the type func(http.Handler) http.Handler
.
Some essential middleware are provided out of the box in github.com/saurabh0719/jett/middleware
-
-
RequestID
: Injects a request ID into the context of each request -
Logger
: Log request paths, methods, status code as well as execution duration -
BasicAuth
: Basic Auth middleware, RFC 2617, Section 2 -
Recoverer
: Recover and handlepanic
-
NoCache
: Sets a number of HTTP headers to prevent a router (or subrouter) from being cached by an upstream proxy and/or client -
HeartBeat
: Set up an endpoint to convenientlyping
your server. -
Timeout
: Timeout is a middleware that cancels context after a given timeout
func (r *Router) Use(middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
Middleware can be added at the at a Router level (root, subrouter) ...
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/saurabh0719/jett"
"github.com/saurabh0719/jett/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := jett.New()
r.Use(middleware.RequestID, middleware.Logger)
r.GET("/", Home)
r.Run(":8000")
}
OR on each individual route
func (r *Router) GET(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
To access a router's middleware stack -
// Middleware returns a slice of the middleware stack for the router
func (r *Router) Middleware() []func(http.Handler) http.Handler
Example -
func main() {
r := jett.New()
r.GET("/", Home, middleware.Logger, middleware.Recover)
r.Run(":8000")
}

Subrouter
The Subrouter
function returns a new Router
instance.
Example -
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/saurabh0719/jett"
"github.com/saurabh0719/jett/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := jett.New()
r.Use(middleware.RequestID)
r.GET("/", Home)
sr := r.Subrouter("/about")
sr.Use(middleware.Logger)
sr.GET("/", About, middleware.NoCache)
r.Run(":8000")
}
func Home(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
jett.JSON(w, "Hello World", 200)
}
func About(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
jett.TEXT(w, "About", 200)
}

Register routes
// These functions optionally accept their own unique middleware for their handlers
func (r *Router) GET(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
func (r *Router) HEAD(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
func (r *Router) OPTIONS(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
func (r *Router) POST(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
func (r *Router) PUT(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
func (r *Router) PATCH(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
func (r *Router) DELETE(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
// Any() creates routes for the methods mentioned above ^ - it DOES NOT actually match any random arbitrary method method
func (r *Router) Any(path string, handlerFn http.HandlerFunc, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)
You can also directly call the Handle
function that accepts an http.Handler
func (r *Router) Handle(method, path string, handler http.Handler, middleware ...func(http.Handler) http.Handler)

Serving static files
The ServeFiles
is a wrapper around httprouter.ServeFiles
to serve statice assets.
func (r *Router) ServeFiles(path string, root http.FileSystem)
From HttpRouter router.go
ServeFiles serves files from the given file system root. The path must end with "/*filepath", files are then served from the local path /defined/root/dir/*filepath.
For example if root is "/etc" and *filepath is "passwd", the local file "/etc/passwd" would be served. Internally a http.FileServer is used, therefore http.NotFound is used instead of the Router's NotFound handler.
To use the operating system's file system implementation, use http.Dir: router.ServeFiles("/src/*filepath", http.Dir("/var/www"))
Eg. r.ServeFiles("/static/*filepath", http.Dir("static"))
<span id="params"></span>
Path & Query parameters
Path parameters -
// Helper function to extract path params from request Context()
// as a map[string]string for easy access
func URLParams(req *http.Request) map[string]string
Query parameters -
// Helper function to extract query params as a map[string][]string
// Eg. /?one=true,false&two=true
// {"two" : ["true"], "one": ["true, "false"]}
func QueryParams(req *http.Request) map[string][]string
Example -
func main() {
r := jett.New()
r.GET("/person/:id", Person)
r.Run(":8000")
}
func Person(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
params := jett.URLParams(req)
// do something and prepare resp
jett.JSON(w, resp, http.StatusOK)
}

Development Server
Jett comes with a built-in development server that handles graceful shutdown. You can optionally specify multiple cleanup functions to be called on shutdown.
Run without context -
func (r *Router) Run(address string, onShutdownFns ...func())
func (r *Router) RunTLS(address, certFile, keyFile string, onShutdownFns ...func())
Run with context -
Useful when you need to pass a top-level context. Shutdown process will begin when the parent context cancels.
func (r *Router) RunWithContext(ctx context.Context, address string, onShutdownFns ...func())
func (r *Router) RunTLSWithContext(ctx context.Context, address, certFile, keyFile string, onShutdownFns ...func())
Example -
server.go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/saurabh0719/jett"
"net/http"
"time"
)
func main() {
r := jett.New()
r.GET("/", Home)
// automatically trigger shutdown after 10s
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
defer cancel()
r.RunWithContext(ctx, ":8000", shutdownOne, shutdownTwo)
}
func Home(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
jett.TEXT(w, "Hello World!", 200)
}
// Shutdown functions called during graceful shutdown
func shutdownOne() {
time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
fmt.Println("shutdown function 1 complete!")
}
func shutdownTwo() {
time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
fmt.Println("shutdown function 2 complete!")
}
$ go run server.go
Please note that this Server is for development only. A production server should ideally specify timeouts inside http.Server. Any contributions to build upon this is welcome.

Response renderers
Optional helpers for formatting the output. Content type is set automatically.
// JSON output - Content-Type - application/json
func JSON(w http.ResponseWriter, data interface{}, status int)
// Plain Text output - Content-Type - text/plain
func Text(w http.ResponseWriter, data string, status int)
// XML output - Content-Type - application/xml
func XML(w http.ResponseWriter, data interface{}, status int)
For html templates (status is set internally, default 200 OK else Server error)
// Content-Type - text/html
func HTML(w http.ResponseWriter, data interface{}, htmlFiles ...string)
data can be nil
or any struct that the template needs. You can also send multiple templates in order of parent -> child
jett.HTML(w, nil, "layout.html", "index.html")
<span id="example"></span>

"github.com/saurabh0719/jett/middleware"
)
func main() {
r := jett.New()
r.Use(middleware.RequestID, middleware.Logger)
r.ServeFiles("/static/*filepath", http.Dir("static"))
r.GET("/:name", Home)
r.Run(":8000")
}
func Home(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
params := jett.URLParams(req)
p := Person{
name: params["name"]
}
jett.HTML(w, p, "index.html")
}
