-## API Examples
+## Examples
-You can find a number of ready-to-run examples at [Gin examples repository](https://github.com/gin-gonic/examples).
-
-### Using GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and OPTIONS
-
-```go
-func main() {
- // Creates a gin router with default middleware:
- // logger and recovery (crash-free) middleware
- router := gin.Default()
-
- router.GET("/someGet", getting)
- router.POST("/somePost", posting)
- router.PUT("/somePut", putting)
- router.DELETE("/someDelete", deleting)
- router.PATCH("/somePatch", patching)
- router.HEAD("/someHead", head)
- router.OPTIONS("/someOptions", options)
-
- // By default it serves on :8080 unless a
- // PORT environment variable was defined.
- router.Run()
- // router.Run(":3000") for a hard coded port
-}
-```
-
-### Parameters in path
-
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
-
- // This handler will match /user/john but will not match /user/ or /user
- router.GET("/user/:name", func(c *gin.Context) {
- name := c.Param("name")
- c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello %s", name)
- })
-
- // However, this one will match /user/john/ and also /user/john/send
- // If no other routers match /user/john, it will redirect to /user/john/
- router.GET("/user/:name/*action", func(c *gin.Context) {
- name := c.Param("name")
- action := c.Param("action")
- message := name + " is " + action
- c.String(http.StatusOK, message)
- })
-
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### Querystring parameters
-
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
-
- // Query string parameters are parsed using the existing underlying request object.
- // The request responds to a url matching: /welcome?firstname=Jane&lastname=Doe
- router.GET("/welcome", func(c *gin.Context) {
- firstname := c.DefaultQuery("firstname", "Guest")
- lastname := c.Query("lastname") // shortcut for c.Request.URL.Query().Get("lastname")
-
- c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello %s %s", firstname, lastname)
- })
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### Multipart/Urlencoded Form
-
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
-
- router.POST("/form_post", func(c *gin.Context) {
- message := c.PostForm("message")
- nick := c.DefaultPostForm("nick", "anonymous")
-
- c.JSON(200, gin.H{
- "status": "posted",
- "message": message,
- "nick": nick,
- })
- })
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### Another example: query + post form
-
-```
-POST /post?id=1234&page=1 HTTP/1.1
-Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
-
-name=manu&message=this_is_great
-```
-
-```go

-
- fmt.Printf("id: %s; page: %s; name: %s; message: %s", id, page, name, message)
- })
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-```
-id: 1234; page: 1; name: manu; message: this_is_great
-```
-
-### Map as querystring or postform parameters
-
-```
-POST /post?ids[a]=1234&ids[b]=hello HTTP/1.1
-Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
-
-names[first]=thinkerou&names[second]=tianou

-
-```
-ids: map[b:hello a:1234], names: map[second:tianou first:thinkerou]

-
-### Upload files
-
-#### Single file
-
-References issue [#774](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/issues/774) and detail [example code](https://github.com/gin-gonic/examples/tree/master/upload-file/single).
-
-`file.Filename` **SHOULD NOT** be trusted. See [`Content-Disposition` on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition#Directives) and [#1693](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/issues/1693)
-
-> The filename is always optional and must not be used blindly by the application: path information should be stripped, and conversion to the server file system rules should be done.
-
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
- // Set a lower memory limit for multipart forms (default is 32 MiB)
- // router.MaxMultipartMemory = 8 << 20 // 8 MiB
- router.POST("/upload", func(c *gin.Context) {
- // single file
- file, _ := c.FormFile("file")
- log.Println(file.Filename)
-
- // Upload the file to specific dst.
- // c.SaveUploadedFile(file, dst)
-
- c.String(http.StatusOK, fmt.Sprintf("'%s' uploaded!", file.Filename))
- })
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-How to `curl`:
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/upload \
- -F "file=@/Users/appleboy/test.zip" \
- -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-```
-
-#### Multiple files
-
-See the detail [example code](https://github.com/gin-gonic/examples/tree/master/upload-file/multiple).
-
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
- // Set a lower memory limit for multipart forms (default is 32 MiB)
- // router.MaxMultipartMemory = 8 << 20 // 8 MiB
- router.POST("/upload", func(c *gin.Context) {
- // Multipart form
- form, _ := c.MultipartForm()
- files := form.File["upload[]"]
-
- for _, file := range files {
- log.Println(file.Filename)
-
- // Upload the file to specific dst.
- // c.SaveUploadedFile(file, dst)
- }
- c.String(http.StatusOK, fmt.Sprintf("%d files uploaded!", len(files)))
- })
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-How to `curl`:
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/upload \
- -F "upload[]=@/Users/appleboy/test1.zip" \
- -F "upload[]=@/Users/appleboy/test2.zip" \
- -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-```
-
-### Grouping routes
-
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
-
- // Simple group: v1
- v1 := router.Group("/v1")
- {
- v1.POST("/login", loginEndpoint)
- v1.POST("/submit", submitEndpoint)
- v1.POST("/read", readEndpoint)
- }
-
- // Simple group: v2
- v2 := router.Group("/v2")
- {
- v2.POST("/login", loginEndpoint)
- v2.POST("/submit", submitEndpoint)
- v2.POST("/read", readEndpoint)
- }
-
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### Blank Gin without middleware by default
-
-Use
-
-```go
-r := gin.New()
-```
-
-instead of
-
-```go
-// Default With the Logger and Recovery middleware already attached
-r := gin.Default()
-```
-
-
-### Using middleware
-```go
-func main() {
- // Creates a router without any middleware by default
- r := gin.New()
-
- // Global middleware
- // Logger middleware will write the logs to gin.DefaultWriter even if you set with GIN_MODE=release.
- // By default gin.DefaultWriter = os.Stdout
- r.Use(gin.Logger())
-
- // Recovery middleware recovers from any panics and writes a 500 if there was one.
- r.Use(gin.Recovery())
-
- // Per route middleware, you can add as many as you desire.
- r.GET("/benchmark", MyBenchLogger(), benchEndpoint)
-
- // Authorization group
- // authorized := r.Group("/", AuthRequired())
- // exactly the same as:
- authorized := r.Group("/")
- // per group middleware! in this case we use the custom created
- // AuthRequired() middleware just in the "authorized" group.
- authorized.Use(AuthRequired())
- {
- authorized.POST("/login", loginEndpoint)
- authorized.POST("/submit", submitEndpoint)
- authorized.POST("/read", readEndpoint)
-
- // nested group
- testing := authorized.Group("testing")
- testing.GET("/analytics", analyticsEndpoint)
- }
-
- // Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
- r.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### How to write log file
-```go
-func main() {
- // Disable Console Color, you don't need console color when writing the logs to file.
- gin.DisableConsoleColor()
-
- // Logging to a file.
- f, _ := os.Create("gin.log")
- gin.DefaultWriter = io.MultiWriter(f)
-
- // Use the following code if you need to write the logs to file and console at the same time.
- // gin.DefaultWriter = io.MultiWriter(f, os.Stdout)
-
- router := gin.Default()
- router.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
- c.String(200, "pong")
- })
-
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Log Format
-```go
-func main() {
- router := gin.New()
-
- // LoggerWithFormatter middleware will write the logs to gin.DefaultWriter
- // By default gin.DefaultWriter = os.Stdout
- router.Use(gin.LoggerWithFormatter(func(param gin.LogFormatterParams) string {
-
- // your custom format
- return fmt.Sprintf("%s - [%s] \"%s %s %s %d %s \"%s\" %s\"\n",
- param.ClientIP,
- param.TimeStamp.Format(time.RFC1123),
- param.Method,
- param.Path,
- param.Request.Proto,
- param.StatusCode,
- param.Latency,
- param.Request.UserAgent(),
- param.ErrorMessage,
- )
- }))
- router.Use(gin.Recovery())
-
- router.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
- c.String(200, "pong")
- })
-
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-**Sample Output**
-```
-::1 - [Fri, 07 Dec 2018 17:04:38 JST] "GET /ping HTTP/1.1 200 122.767µs "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.80 Safari/537.36" "
-```
-
-### Controlling Log output coloring
-
-By default, logs output on console should be colorized depending on the detected TTY.
-
-Never colorize logs:
-
-```go
-func main() {
- // Disable log's color
- gin.DisableConsoleColor()
-
- // Creates a gin router with default middleware:
- // logger and recovery (crash-free) middleware
- router := gin.Default()
-
- router.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
- c.String(200, "pong")
- })
-
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-Always colorize logs:
-
-```go
-func main() {
- // Force log's color
- gin.ForceConsoleColor()
-
- // Creates a gin router with default middleware:
- // logger and recovery (crash-free) middleware
- router := gin.Default()
-
- router.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
- c.String(200, "pong")
- })
-
- router.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-### Model binding and validation
-
-To bind a request body into a type, use model binding. We currently support binding of JSON, XML, YAML and standard form values (foo=bar&boo=baz).
-
-Gin uses [**go-playground/validator.v8**](https://github.com/go-playground/validator) for validation. Check the full docs on tags usage [here](http://godoc.org/gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v8#hdr-Baked_In_Validators_and_Tags).
-
-Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set `json:"fieldname"`.
-
-Also, Gin provides two sets of methods for binding:
-- **Type** - Must bind
- - **Methods** - `Bind`, `BindJSON`, `BindXML`, `BindQuery`, `BindYAML`
- - **Behavior** - These methods use `MustBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the request is aborted with `c.AbortWithError(400, err).SetType(ErrorTypeBind)`. This sets the response status code to 400 and the `Content-Type` header is set to `text/plain; charset=utf-8`. Note that if you try to set the response code after this, it will result in a warning `[GIN-debug] [WARNING] Headers were already written. Wanted to override status code 400 with 422`. If you wish to have greater control over the behavior, consider using the `ShouldBind` equivalent method.
-- **Type** - Should bind
- - **Methods** - `ShouldBind`, `ShouldBindJSON`, `ShouldBindXML`, `ShouldBindQuery`, `ShouldBindYAML`
- - **Behavior** - These methods use `ShouldBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the error is returned and it is the developer's responsibility to handle the request and error appropriately.
-
-When using the Bind-method, Gin tries to infer the binder depending on the Content-Type header. If you are sure what you are binding, you can use `MustBindWith` or `ShouldBindWith`.
-
-You can also specify that specific fields are required. If a field is decorated with `binding:"required"` and has a empty value when binding, an error will be returned.
-
-```go
-// Binding from JSON
-type Login struct {
- User string `form:"user" json:"user" xml:"user" binding:"required"`
- Password string `form:"password" json:"password" xml:"password" binding:"required"`
-}
-
-func main() {
- router := gin.Default()
-
- // Example for binding JSON ({"user": "manu", "password": "123"})
- router.POST("/loginJSON", func(c *gin.Context) {
- var json Login
- if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&json); err != nil {
- c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
- return
- }
-
- if json.User != "manu" || json.Password != "123" {
- c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"})
- return
- }
-
- c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"})
- })
-
- // Example for binding XML (
- //
- //
Using posts/index.tmpl
- -{{ end }} -``` - -templates/users/index.tmpl - -```html -{{ define "users/index.tmpl" }} -Using users/index.tmpl
