Go - Api.Route.Post()

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/faas"
  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/nitric"
)

func main() {
  api, err := nitric.NewApi("public")
  if err != nil {
    return
  }

  api.NewRoute("/hello").Post(func(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
    ctx.Response.Body = []byte("Hello World")
    return next(ctx)
  })

  if err := nitric.Run(); err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
}

Examples

Register a handler for POST requests

api.NewRoute("/hello").Post(func(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
  ctx.Response.Body = []byte("Hello World")
  return next(ctx)
})

Create a route with path params

api.NewRoute("/hello/:name").Post(func(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
  name := ctx.Request.PathParams()["name"]
  ctx.Response.Body = []byte("Hello " + name)
  return next(ctx)
})

Create a route with no method security

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/nitric"
)

func main() {
  secureApi, err := nitric.NewApi(
    "secure",
    nitric.WithSecurityJwtRule("user", nitric.JwtSecurityRule{
      Issuer: "https://example-issuer.com",
      Audiences: []string{ "YOUR-AUDIENCES" },
    }),
    nitric.WithSecurity("user", []string{"products:read"}),
  )
  if err != nil {
    return
  }

  // Override the APIs security requirements with `WithNoMethodSecurity()`
  api.NewRoute("/public").Post(func(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
    // Handle request
    return next(ctx)
  }, nitric.WithNoMethodSecurity())

  if err := nitric.Run(); err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
}

Chain functions as a single method handler

When multiple functions are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/faas"
  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/nitric"
)

func authMiddleware(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
  // Perform auth validation
  return next(ctx)
}

func handleRequest(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
  name := ctx.Request.PathParams()["name"]
  ctx.Response.Body = []byte("Hello " + name)
  return next(ctx)
}

func main() {
  api, err := nitric.NewApi("private")
  if err != nil {
    return
  }

  api.NewRoute("/hello/:name").Post(faas.ComposeHttpMiddleware(authMiddleware, handleRequest))

  if err := nitric.Run(); err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
}

Access the request body

The POST request body is accessible using ctx.Request.Data().

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/faas"
  "github.com/nitrictech/go-sdk/nitric"
)

func main() {
  api, err := nitric.NewApi("public")
  if err != nil {
    return
  }

  api.NewRoute("/hello").Post(func(ctx *faas.HttpContext, next faas.HttpHandler) (*faas.HttpContext, error) {
    data := ctx.Request.Data()

    ctx.Response.Body = data

    return next(ctx)
  })

  if err := nitric.Run(); err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
  }
}
