Gin Web Framework
Gin is a web framework written in Go. It features a martini-like API with performance that is up to 40 times faster thanks to httprouter. If you need performance and good productivity, you will love Gin.
The key features of Gin are:
- Zero allocation router
- Fast
- Middleware support
- Crash-free
- JSON validation
- Routes grouping
- Error management
- Rendering built-in
- Extendable
Getting started
Prerequisites
<<<<<<< HEAD
go get -u git.internal/re/gin
=======
upstream/master
Getting Gin
<<<<<<< HEAD
import "git.internal/re/gin"
=======
With [Go module](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) support, simply add the following import
import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
upstream/master
to your code, and then `go [build|run|test]` will automatically fetch the necessary dependencies.
Otherwise, run the following Go command to install the `gin` package:
```sh
$ go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin
Running Gin
First you need to import Gin package for using Gin, one simplest example likes the follow example.go
:
package main
import (
"net/http"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"message": "pong",
})
})
r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080")
}
And use the Go command to run the demo:
# run example.go and visit 0.0.0.0:8080/ping on browser
$ go run example.go

<<<<<<< HEAD
Gin v1. stable
- Zero allocation router.
- Still the fastest http router and framework. From routing to writing.
- Complete suite of unit tests.
- Battle tested.
- API frozen, new releases will not break your code.
Build with json replacement
Gin uses encoding/json
as default json package but you can change it by build from other tags.
go build -tags=jsoniter .
go build -tags=go_json .
sonic (you have to ensure that your cpu support avx instruction.)
$ go build -tags="sonic avx" .
Build without MsgPack
rendering feature
Gin enables MsgPack
rendering feature by default. But you can disable this feature by specifying nomsgpack
build tag.
go build -tags=nomsgpack .
This is useful to reduce the binary size of executable files. See the detail information.
API Examples
You can find a number of ready-to-run examples at Gin examples repository.
Using GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and OPTIONS
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
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)
})
// For each matched request Context will hold the route definition
router.POST("/user/:name/*action", func(c *gin.Context) {
b := c.FullPath() == "/user/:name/*action" // true
c.String(http.StatusOK, "%t", b)
})
// This handler will add a new router for /user/groups.
// Exact routes are resolved before param routes, regardless of the order they were defined.
// Routes starting with /user/groups are never interpreted as /user/:name/... routes
router.GET("/user/groups", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.String(http.StatusOK, "The available groups are [...]")
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
Querystring parameters
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
// Query string parameters are parsed using the existing underlying request object.
// The request responds to an 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
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.POST("/form_post", func(c *gin.Context) {
message := c.PostForm("message")
nick := c.DefaultPostForm("nick", "anonymous")
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, 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
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.POST("/post", func(c *gin.Context) {
id := c.Query("id")
page := c.DefaultQuery("page", "0")
name := c.PostForm("name")
message := c.PostForm("message")
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
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.POST("/post", func(c *gin.Context) {
ids := c.QueryMap("ids")
names := c.PostFormMap("names")
fmt.Printf("ids: %v; names: %v", ids, names)
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
ids: map[b:hello a:1234]; names: map[second:tianou first:thinkerou]

{"error":"Key: 'Login.Password' Error:Field validation for 'Password' failed on the 'required' tag"}
Skip validate: when running the above example using the above the curl
command, it returns error. Because the example use binding:"required"
for Password
. If use binding:"-"
for Password
, then it will not return error when running the above example again.
Custom Validators
It is also possible to register custom validators. See the example code.
package main
import (
"net/http"
"time"
"git.internal/re/gin"
"git.internal/re/gin/binding"
"github.com/go-playground/validator/v10"
)
// Booking contains binded and validated data.
type Booking struct {
CheckIn time.Time `form:"check_in" binding:"required,bookabledate" time_format:"2006-01-02"`
CheckOut time.Time `form:"check_out" binding:"required,gtfield=CheckIn" time_format:"2006-01-02"`
}
var bookableDate validator.Func = func(fl validator.FieldLevel) bool {
date, ok := fl.Field().Interface().(time.Time)
if ok {
today := time.Now()
if today.After(date) {
return false
}
}
return true
}
func main() {
route := gin.Default()
if v, ok := binding.Validator.Engine().(*validator.Validate); ok {
v.RegisterValidation("bookabledate", bookableDate)
}
route.GET("/bookable", getBookable)
route.Run(":8085")
}
func getBookable(c *gin.Context) {
var b Booking
if err := c.ShouldBindWith(&b, binding.Query); err == nil {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"message": "Booking dates are valid!"})
} else {
c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
}
}
$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2030-04-16&check_out=2030-04-17"
{"message":"Booking dates are valid!"}
$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2030-03-10&check_out=2030-03-09"
{"error":"Key: 'Booking.CheckOut' Error:Field validation for 'CheckOut' failed on the 'gtfield' tag"}
$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2000-03-09&check_out=2000-03-10"
{"error":"Key: 'Booking.CheckIn' Error:Field validation for 'CheckIn' failed on the 'bookabledate' tag"}%
Struct level validations can also be registered this way. See the struct-lvl-validation example to learn more.

XML, JSON, YAML, TOML and ProtoBuf rendering
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
// gin.H is a shortcut for map[string]interface{}
r.GET("/someJSON", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"message": "hey", "status": http.StatusOK})
})
r.GET("/moreJSON", func(c *gin.Context) {
// You also can use a struct
var msg struct {
Name string `json:"user"`
Message string
Number int
}
msg.Name = "Lena"
msg.Message = "hey"
msg.Number = 123
// Note that msg.Name becomes "user" in the JSON
// Will output : {"user": "Lena", "Message": "hey", "Number": 123}
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, msg)
})
r.GET("/someXML", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.XML(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"message": "hey", "status": http.StatusOK})
})
r.GET("/someYAML", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.YAML(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"message": "hey", "status": http.StatusOK})
})
r.GET("/someTOML", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.TOML(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"message": "hey", "status": http.StatusOK})
})
r.GET("/someProtoBuf", func(c *gin.Context) {
reps := []int64{int64(1), int64(2)}
label := "test"
// The specific definition of protobuf is written in the testdata/protoexample file.
data := &protoexample.Test{
Label: &label,
Reps: reps,
}
// Note that data becomes binary data in the response
// Will output protoexample.Test protobuf serialized data
c.ProtoBuf(http.StatusOK, data)
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
SecureJSON
Using SecureJSON to prevent json hijacking. Default prepends "while(1),"
to response body if the given struct is array values.
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
// You can also use your own secure json prefix
// r.SecureJsonPrefix(")]}',\n")
r.GET("/someJSON", func(c *gin.Context) {
names := []string{"lena", "austin", "foo"}
// Will output : while(1);["lena","austin","foo"]
c.SecureJSON(http.StatusOK, names)
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
JSONP
Using JSONP to request data from a server in a different domain. Add callback to response body if the query parameter callback exists.
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/JSONP", func(c *gin.Context) {
data := gin.H{
"foo": "bar",
}
//callback is x
// Will output : x({\"foo\":\"bar\"})
c.JSONP(http.StatusOK, data)
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
// client
// curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/JSONP?callback=x
}
AsciiJSON
Using AsciiJSON to Generates ASCII-only JSON with escaped non-ASCII characters.
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/someJSON", func(c *gin.Context) {
data := gin.H{
"lang": "GO语言",
"tag": "<br>",
}
// will output : {"lang":"GO\u8bed\u8a00","tag":"\u003cbr\u003e"}
c.AsciiJSON(http.StatusOK, data)
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
PureJSON
Normally, JSON replaces special HTML characters with their unicode entities, e.g. <
becomes \u003c
. If you want to encode such characters literally, you can use PureJSON instead.
This feature is unavailable in Go 1.6 and lower.
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
// Serves unicode entities
r.GET("/json", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"html": "<b>Hello, world!</b>",
})
})
// Serves literal characters
r.GET("/purejson", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.PureJSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"html": "<b>Hello, world!</b>",
})
})
// listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
Serving static files
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.Static("/assets", "./assets")
router.StaticFS("/more_static", http.Dir("my_file_system"))
router.StaticFile("/favicon.ico", "./resources/favicon.ico")
router.StaticFileFS("/more_favicon.ico", "more_favicon.ico", http.Dir("my_file_system"))
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
router.Run(":8080")
}
Serving data from file
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.GET("/local/file", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.File("local/file.go")
})
var fs http.FileSystem = // ...
router.GET("/fs/file", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.FileFromFS("fs/file.go", fs)
})
}
Serving data from reader
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.GET("/someDataFromReader", func(c *gin.Context) {
response, err := http.Get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gin-gonic/logo/master/color.png")
if err != nil || response.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
c.Status(http.StatusServiceUnavailable)
return
}
reader := response.Body
defer reader.Close()
contentLength := response.ContentLength
contentType := response.Header.Get("Content-Type")
extraHeaders := map[string]string{
"Content-Disposition": `attachment; filename="gopher.png"`,
}
c.DataFromReader(http.StatusOK, contentLength, contentType, reader, extraHeaders)
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
HTML rendering
Using LoadHTMLGlob() or LoadHTMLFiles()
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.LoadHTMLGlob("templates/*")
//router.LoadHTMLFiles("templates/template1.html", "templates/template2.html")
router.GET("/index", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "index.tmpl", gin.H{
"title": "Main website",
})
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
templates/index.tmpl
<html>
<h1>
{{ .title }}
</h1>
</html>
Using templates with same name in different directories
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.LoadHTMLGlob("templates/**/*")
router.GET("/posts/index", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "posts/index.tmpl", gin.H{
"title": "Posts",
})
})
router.GET("/users/index", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "users/index.tmpl", gin.H{
"title": "Users",
})
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
templates/posts/index.tmpl
{{ define "posts/index.tmpl" }}
<html><h1>
{{ .title }}
</h1>
<p>Using posts/index.tmpl</p>
</html>
{{ end }}
templates/users/index.tmpl
{{ define "users/index.tmpl" }}
<html><h1>
{{ .title }}
</h1>
<p>Using users/index.tmpl</p>
</html>
{{ end }}
Custom Template renderer
You can also use your own html template render
import "html/template"
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
html := template.Must(template.ParseFiles("file1", "file2"))
router.SetHTMLTemplate(html)
router.Run(":8080")
}
Custom Delimiters
You may use custom delims
r := gin.Default()
r.Delims("{[{", "}]}")
r.LoadHTMLGlob("/path/to/templates")
Custom Template Funcs
See the detail example code.
main.go
import (
"fmt"
"html/template"
"net/http"
"time"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func formatAsDate(t time.Time) string {
year, month, day := t.Date()
return fmt.Sprintf("%d/%02d/%02d", year, month, day)
}
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.Delims("{[{", "}]}")
router.SetFuncMap(template.FuncMap{
"formatAsDate": formatAsDate,
})
router.LoadHTMLFiles("./testdata/template/raw.tmpl")
router.GET("/raw", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "raw.tmpl", gin.H{
"now": time.Date(2017, 07, 01, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC),
})
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
raw.tmpl
Date: {[{.now | formatAsDate}]}
Result:
Date: 2017/07/01
Multitemplate
Gin allow by default use only one html.Template. Check a multitemplate render for using features like go 1.6 block template
.
Redirects
Issuing a HTTP redirect is easy. Both internal and external locations are supported.
r.GET("/test", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.Redirect(http.StatusMovedPermanently, "http://www.google.com/")
})
Issuing a HTTP redirect from POST. Refer to issue: #444
r.POST("/test", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.Redirect(http.StatusFound, "/foo")
})
Issuing a Router redirect, use HandleContext
like below.
r.GET("/test", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.Request.URL.Path = "/test2"
r.HandleContext(c)
})
r.GET("/test2", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"hello": "world"})
})
Custom Middleware
func Logger() gin.HandlerFunc {
return func(c *gin.Context) {
t := time.Now()
// Set example variable
c.Set("example", "12345")
// before request
c.Next()
// after request
latency := time.Since(t)
log.Print(latency)
// access the status we are sending
status := c.Writer.Status()
log.Println(status)
}
}
func main() {
r := gin.New()
r.Use(Logger())
r.GET("/test", func(c *gin.Context) {
example := c.MustGet("example").(string)
// it would print: "12345"
log.Println(example)
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
Using BasicAuth() middleware
// simulate some private data
var secrets = gin.H{
"foo": gin.H{"email": "foo@bar.com", "phone": "123433"},
"austin": gin.H{"email": "austin@example.com", "phone": "666"},
"lena": gin.H{"email": "lena@guapa.com", "phone": "523443"},
}
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
// Group using gin.BasicAuth() middleware
// gin.Accounts is a shortcut for map[string]string
authorized := r.Group("/admin", gin.BasicAuth(gin.Accounts{
"foo": "bar",
"austin": "1234",
"lena": "hello2",
"manu": "4321",
}))
// /admin/secrets endpoint
// hit "localhost:8080/admin/secrets
authorized.GET("/secrets", func(c *gin.Context) {
// get user, it was set by the BasicAuth middleware
user := c.MustGet(gin.AuthUserKey).(string)
if secret, ok := secrets[user]; ok {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"user": user, "secret": secret})
} else {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"user": user, "secret": "NO SECRET :("})
}
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
Goroutines inside a middleware
When starting new Goroutines inside a middleware or handler, you SHOULD NOT use the original context inside it, you have to use a read-only copy.
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/long_async", func(c *gin.Context) {
// create copy to be used inside the goroutine
cCp := c.Copy()
go func() {
// simulate a long task with time.Sleep(). 5 seconds
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
// note that you are using the copied context "cCp", IMPORTANT
log.Println("Done! in path " + cCp.Request.URL.Path)
}()
})
r.GET("/long_sync", func(c *gin.Context) {
// simulate a long task with time.Sleep(). 5 seconds
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
// since we are NOT using a goroutine, we do not have to copy the context
log.Println("Done! in path " + c.Request.URL.Path)
})
// Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run(":8080")
}
Custom HTTP configuration
Use http.ListenAndServe()
directly, like this:
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router)
}
or
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
s := &http.Server{
Addr: ":8080",
Handler: router,
ReadTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
WriteTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
MaxHeaderBytes: 1 << 20,
}
s.ListenAndServe()
}
Support Let's Encrypt
example for 1-line LetsEncrypt HTTPS servers.
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"github.com/gin-gonic/autotls"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
// Ping handler
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong")
})
log.Fatal(autotls.Run(r, "example1.com", "example2.com"))
}
example for custom autocert manager.
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"github.com/gin-gonic/autotls"
"git.internal/re/gin"
"golang.org/x/crypto/acme/autocert"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
// Ping handler
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong")
})
m := autocert.Manager{
Prompt: autocert.AcceptTOS,
HostPolicy: autocert.HostWhitelist("example1.com", "example2.com"),
Cache: autocert.DirCache("/var/www/.cache"),
}
log.Fatal(autotls.RunWithManager(r, &m))
}
Run multiple service using Gin
See the question and try the following example:
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
"git.internal/re/gin"
"golang.org/x/sync/errgroup"
)
var (
g errgroup.Group
)
func router01() http.Handler {
e := gin.New()
e.Use(gin.Recovery())
e.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(
http.StatusOK,
gin.H{
"code": http.StatusOK,
"error": "Welcome server 01",
},
)
})
return e
}
func router02() http.Handler {
e := gin.New()
e.Use(gin.Recovery())
e.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(
http.StatusOK,
gin.H{
"code": http.StatusOK,
"error": "Welcome server 02",
},
)
})
return e
}
func main() {
server01 := &http.Server{
Addr: ":8080",
Handler: router01(),
ReadTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
WriteTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
}
server02 := &http.Server{
Addr: ":8081",
Handler: router02(),
ReadTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
WriteTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
}
g.Go(func() error {
err := server01.ListenAndServe()
if err != nil && err != http.ErrServerClosed {
log.Fatal(err)
}
return err
})
g.Go(func() error {
err := server02.ListenAndServe()
if err != nil && err != http.ErrServerClosed {
log.Fatal(err)
}
return err
})
if err := g.Wait(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Graceful shutdown or restart
There are a few approaches you can use to perform a graceful shutdown or restart. You can make use of third-party packages specifically built for that, or you can manually do the same with the functions and methods from the built-in packages.
Third-party packages
We can use fvbock/endless to replace the default ListenAndServe
. Refer to issue #296 for more details.
router := gin.Default()
router.GET("/", handler)
// [...]
endless.ListenAndServe(":4242", router)
Alternatives:
- grace: Graceful restart & zero downtime deploy for Go servers.
- graceful: Graceful is a Go package enabling graceful shutdown of an http.Handler server.
- manners: A polite Go HTTP server that shuts down gracefully.
Manually
In case you are using Go 1.8 or a later version, you may not need to use those libraries. Consider using http.Server
's built-in Shutdown() method for graceful shutdowns. The example below describes its usage, and we've got more examples using gin here.
// +build go1.8
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"net/http"
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
"time"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
c.String(http.StatusOK, "Welcome Gin Server")
})
srv := &http.Server{
Addr: ":8080",
Handler: router,
}
// Initializing the server in a goroutine so that
// it won't block the graceful shutdown handling below
go func() {
if err := srv.ListenAndServe(); err != nil && !errors.Is(err, http.ErrServerClosed) {
log.Printf("listen: %s\n", err)
}
}()
// Wait for interrupt signal to gracefully shutdown the server with
// a timeout of 5 seconds.
quit := make(chan os.Signal)
// kill (no param) default send syscall.SIGTERM
// kill -2 is syscall.SIGINT
// kill -9 is syscall.SIGKILL but can't be caught, so don't need to add it
signal.Notify(quit, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
<-quit
log.Println("Shutting down server...")
// The context is used to inform the server it has 5 seconds to finish
// the request it is currently handling
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
if err := srv.Shutdown(ctx); err != nil {
log.Fatal("Server forced to shutdown:", err)
}
log.Println("Server exiting")
}
Build a single binary with templates
You can build a server into a single binary containing templates by using the embed package.
package main
import (
"embed"
"html/template"
"net/http"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
//go:embed assets/* templates/*
var f embed.FS
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
templ := template.Must(template.New("").ParseFS(f, "templates/*.tmpl", "templates/foo/*.tmpl"))
router.SetHTMLTemplate(templ)
// example: /public/assets/images/example.png
router.StaticFS("/public", http.FS(f))
router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "index.tmpl", gin.H{
"title": "Main website",
})
})
router.GET("/foo", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "bar.tmpl", gin.H{
"title": "Foo website",
})
})
router.GET("favicon.ico", func(c *gin.Context) {
file, _ := f.ReadFile("assets/favicon.ico")
c.Data(
http.StatusOK,
"image/x-icon",
file,
)
})
router.Run(":8080")
}
See a complete example in the https://github.com/gin-gonic/examples/tree/master/assets-in-binary/example02
directory.
Bind form-data request with custom struct
The follow example using custom struct:
type StructA struct {
FieldA string `form:"field_a"`
}
type StructB struct {
NestedStruct StructA
FieldB string `form:"field_b"`
}
type StructC struct {
NestedStructPointer *StructA
FieldC string `form:"field_c"`
}
type StructD struct {
NestedAnonyStruct struct {
FieldX string `form:"field_x"`
}
FieldD string `form:"field_d"`
}
func GetDataB(c *gin.Context) {
var b StructB
c.Bind(&b)
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"a": b.NestedStruct,
"b": b.FieldB,
})
}
func GetDataC(c *gin.Context) {
var b StructC
c.Bind(&b)
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"a": b.NestedStructPointer,
"c": b.FieldC,
})
}
func GetDataD(c *gin.Context) {
var b StructD
c.Bind(&b)
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"x": b.NestedAnonyStruct,
"d": b.FieldD,
})
}
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/getb", GetDataB)
r.GET("/getc", GetDataC)
r.GET("/getd", GetDataD)
r.Run()
}
Using the command curl
command result:
$ curl "http://localhost:8080/getb?field_a=hello&field_b=world"
{"a":{"FieldA":"hello"},"b":"world"}
$ curl "http://localhost:8080/getc?field_a=hello&field_c=world"
{"a":{"FieldA":"hello"},"c":"world"}
$ curl "http://localhost:8080/getd?field_x=hello&field_d=world"
{"d":"world","x":{"FieldX":"hello"}}
Try to bind body into different structs
The normal methods for binding request body consumes c.Request.Body
and they
cannot be called multiple times.
type formA struct {
Foo string `json:"foo" xml:"foo" binding:"required"`
}
type formB struct {
Bar string `json:"bar" xml:"bar" binding:"required"`
}
func SomeHandler(c *gin.Context) {
objA := formA{}
objB := formB{}
// This c.ShouldBind consumes c.Request.Body and it cannot be reused.
if errA := c.ShouldBind(&objA); errA == nil {
c.String(http.StatusOK, `the body should be formA`)
// Always an error is occurred by this because c.Request.Body is EOF now.
} else if errB := c.ShouldBind(&objB); errB == nil {
c.String(http.StatusOK, `the body should be formB`)
} else {
...
}
}
For this, you can use c.ShouldBindBodyWith
.
func SomeHandler(c *gin.Context) {
objA := formA{}
objB := formB{}
// This reads c.Request.Body and stores the result into the context.
if errA := c.ShouldBindBodyWith(&objA, binding.Form); errA == nil {
c.String(http.StatusOK, `the body should be formA`)
// At this time, it reuses body stored in the context.
} else if errB := c.ShouldBindBodyWith(&objB, binding.JSON); errB == nil {
c.String(http.StatusOK, `the body should be formB JSON`)
// And it can accepts other formats
} else if errB2 := c.ShouldBindBodyWith(&objB, binding.XML); errB2 == nil {
c.String(http.StatusOK, `the body should be formB XML`)
} else {
...
}
}
c.ShouldBindBodyWith
stores body into the context before binding. This has a slight impact to performance, so you should not use this method if you are enough to call binding at once.- This feature is only needed for some formats --
JSON
,XML
,MsgPack
,ProtoBuf
. For other formats,Query
,Form
,FormPost
,FormMultipart
, can be called byc.ShouldBind()
multiple times without any damage to performance (See #1341).
Bind form-data request with custom struct and custom tag
const (
customerTag = "url"
defaultMemory = 32 << 20
)
type customerBinding struct {}
func (customerBinding) Name() string {
return "form"
}
func (customerBinding) Bind(req *http.Request, obj interface{}) error {
if err := req.ParseForm(); err != nil {
return err
}
if err := req.ParseMultipartForm(defaultMemory); err != nil {
if err != http.ErrNotMultipart {
return err
}
}
if err := binding.MapFormWithTag(obj, req.Form, customerTag); err != nil {
return err
}
return validate(obj)
}
func validate(obj interface{}) error {
if binding.Validator == nil {
return nil
}
return binding.Validator.ValidateStruct(obj)
}
// Now we can do this!!!
// FormA is an external type that we can't modify it's tag
type FormA struct {
FieldA string `url:"field_a"`
}
func ListHandler(s *Service) func(ctx *gin.Context) {
return func(ctx *gin.Context) {
var urlBinding = customerBinding{}
var opt FormA
err := ctx.MustBindWith(&opt, urlBinding)
if err != nil {
...
}
...
}
}
http2 server push
http.Pusher is supported only go1.8+. See the golang blog for detail information.
package main
import (
"html/template"
"log"
"net/http"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
var html = template.Must(template.New("https").Parse(`
<html>
<head>
<title>Https Test</title>
<script src="/assets/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="color:red;">Welcome, Ginner!</h1>
</body>
</html>
`))
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.Static("/assets", "./assets")
r.SetHTMLTemplate(html)
r.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
if pusher := c.Writer.Pusher(); pusher != nil {
// use pusher.Push() to do server push
if err := pusher.Push("/assets/app.js", nil); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to push: %v", err)
}
}
c.HTML(http.StatusOK, "https", gin.H{
"status": "success",
})
})
// Listen and Server in https://127.0.0.1:8080
r.RunTLS(":8080", "./testdata/server.pem", "./testdata/server.key")
}
Define format for the log of routes
The default log of routes is:
[GIN-debug] POST /foo --> main.main.func1 (3 handlers)
[GIN-debug] GET /bar --> main.main.func2 (3 handlers)
[GIN-debug] GET /status --> main.main.func3 (3 handlers)
If you want to log this information in given format (e.g. JSON, key values or something else), then you can define this format with gin.DebugPrintRouteFunc
.
In the example below, we log all routes with standard log package but you can use another log tools that suits of your needs.
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
gin.DebugPrintRouteFunc = func(httpMethod, absolutePath, handlerName string, nuHandlers int) {
log.Printf("endpoint %v %v %v %v\n", httpMethod, absolutePath, handlerName, nuHandlers)
}
r.POST("/foo", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, "foo")
})
r.GET("/bar", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, "bar")
})
r.GET("/status", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, "ok")
})
// Listen and Server in http://0.0.0.0:8080
r.Run()
}
Set and get a cookie
import (
"fmt"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.GET("/cookie", func(c *gin.Context) {
cookie, err := c.Cookie("gin_cookie")
if err != nil {
cookie = "NotSet"
c.SetCookie("gin_cookie", "test", 3600, "/", "localhost", false, true)
}
fmt.Printf("Cookie value: %s \n", cookie)
})
router.Run()
}
Don't trust all proxies
Gin lets you specify which headers to hold the real client IP (if any), as well as specifying which proxies (or direct clients) you trust to specify one of these headers.
Use function SetTrustedProxies()
on your gin.Engine
to specify network addresses
or network CIDRs from where clients which their request headers related to client
IP can be trusted. They can be IPv4 addresses, IPv4 CIDRs, IPv6 addresses or
IPv6 CIDRs.
Attention: Gin trust all proxies by default if you don't specify a trusted
proxy using the function above, this is NOT safe. At the same time, if you don't
use any proxy, you can disable this feature by using Engine.SetTrustedProxies(nil)
,
then Context.ClientIP()
will return the remote address directly to avoid some
unnecessary computation.
import (
"fmt"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
router.SetTrustedProxies([]string{"192.168.1.2"})
router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
// If the client is 192.168.1.2, use the X-Forwarded-For
// header to deduce the original client IP from the trust-
// worthy parts of that header.
// Otherwise, simply return the direct client IP
fmt.Printf("ClientIP: %s\n", c.ClientIP())
})
router.Run()
}
Notice: If you are using a CDN service, you can set the Engine.TrustedPlatform
to skip TrustedProxies check, it has a higher priority than TrustedProxies.
Look at the example below:
import (
"fmt"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func main() {
router := gin.Default()
// Use predefined header gin.PlatformXXX
router.TrustedPlatform = gin.PlatformGoogleAppEngine
// Or set your own trusted request header for another trusted proxy service
// Don't set it to any suspect request header, it's unsafe
router.TrustedPlatform = "X-CDN-IP"
router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) {
// If you set TrustedPlatform, ClientIP() will resolve the
// corresponding header and return IP directly
fmt.Printf("ClientIP: %s\n", c.ClientIP())
})
router.Run()
}
Testing
The net/http/httptest
package is preferable way for HTTP testing.
package main
import (
"net/http"
"git.internal/re/gin"
)
func setupRouter() *gin.Engine {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong")
})
return r
}
func main() {
r := setupRouter()
r.Run(":8080")
}
Test for code example above:
package main
import (
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"testing"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
)
func TestPingRoute(t *testing.T) {
router := setupRouter()
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
req, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/ping", nil)
router.ServeHTTP(w, req)
assert.Equal(t, http.StatusOK, w.Code)
assert.Equal(t, "pong", w.Body.String())
}
