go get -u github.com/lrstanley/chix@latest

Golang Library Features

• http.Server wrapper that easily allows starting and gracefully shutting down your http server, and other background services, using errgroup.
• RealIP middleware (supports whitelisting specific proxies, rather than allowing any source).
• Rendering helpers:JSON (with ?pretty=true support).
• Auth middleware:Uses markbates/goth to support many different providers.
• Encrypts session cookies, which removes the need for local session storage.
• Uses Golang 1.18’s generics functionality to provide a custom ID and auth object resolver.No longer have to type assert to your local models!
• Optionally requiring authentication.
• Optionally requiring specific roles.
• Optionally adding authentication info to context for use by children handlers.
• API key validation.
• API version validation.
• private IP middleware, restricting endpoints to be internal only.
• Struct/type binding, from get/post data, with support for go-playground/validator.
• Structured logging using apex/log (same API as logrus).
  • Allows injecting additional metadata into logs.
  • Injects logger into context for use by children handlers.
• Debug middleware:
  • Easily let children handlers know if global debug flags are enabled.
  • Allows masking errors, unless debugging is enabled.
• Error handler, that automatically handles api-vs-static content responses.
  • Supports ErrorResolver‘s, providing the ability to override status codes for specific types of errors.
• go:embed helpers for mounting an embedded filesystem seamlessly as an http endpoint.
  • Useful for projects that bundle their frontend assets in their binary.
  • Supports local filesystem reading, when debugging is enabled (TODO).
