Build and modify HTTP routes and middleware in Go with Ngamux, supporting dynamic paths, request parsing, JSON/form handling, and fluent response writing.
Build and modify HTTP routes and middleware in Go with Ngamux, supporting dynamic paths, request parsing, JSON/form handling, and fluent response writing.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use this skill when the user needs to: Define HTTP endpoints: Create new routes for various HTTP methods (e.g., mux.Get("/users/:id", getUserHandler)) including dynamic path segments (/users/{id}) and wildcards (/files/*filePath). Implement request preprocessing/postprocessing: Add global middlewares (e.g., for authentication, logging, CORS) or group-specific middlewares to handle requests before they reach the main handler or after they are processed. For example, mux.Use(authMiddleware) or apiGroup.Use(loggingMiddleware). Extract incoming data from requests: URL Parameters: Retrieve values from dynamic path segments (e.g., req.Params("id")). Query Parameters: Access query string values (e.g., req.Query("name", "Guest")). Form Data: Parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data (e.g., req.FormValue("username"), req.FormFile("image")). JSON Payloads: Decode application/json request bodies into Go structs (e.g., req.JSON(&user)). Construct and send various response types: JSON Responses: Send structured data as JSON (e.g., ngamux.Res(rw).Status(http.StatusOK).Json(data)). Text Responses: Send plain text (e.g., ngamux.Res(rw).Status(http.StatusOK).Text("Hello, World!")). HTML Responses: Render HTML templates (e.g., ngamux.Res(rw).Status(http.StatusOK).HTML("template.html", data)). Custom Status Codes: Set specific HTTP status codes for responses. Configure router behavior: Adjust global settings like automatically removing trailing slashes (ngamux.WithTrailingSlash()), setting the logging verbosity (ngamux.WithLogLevel(slog.LevelDebug)), or providing custom json.Marshal/json.Unmarshal functions for specific serialization needs. Organize routes with grouping: Create nested route groups to apply common path prefixes and middlewares to a set of routes (e.g., /api/v1). Debug routing or handler issues: Inspect route definitions, middleware chains, request context, and logging output to diagnose and resolve problems.
Route Definition: ngamux provides methods like mux.Get(), mux.Post(), mux.Put(), mux.Delete(), mux.Patch(), mux.Head(), and mux.All() to register http.HandlerFuncs for specific HTTP methods and paths. It supports path parameters (e.g., /{id}) and wildcards (/*filePath). Routes are efficiently stored and matched using a tree-like structure, leveraging the mapping package for optimized key-value storage. Middleware Application: The mux.Use() method allows global middleware registration, while mux.Group() and mux.With() enable group-specific middlewares. Middlewares are MiddlewareFunc types that wrap http.HandlerFuncs, allowing for a chain of responsibility pattern. The WithMiddlewares utility from common.go handles the functional chaining. Request Handling: The Request struct (wrapped *http.Request) offers convenience methods: Req().Params(key string): Retrieves URL path parameters parsed during routing. Req().Query(key string, fallback ...string): Accesses URL query string parameters. Req().QueriesParser(data any): Automatically binds query parameters to a Go struct using query tags and reflection. Req().FormValue(key string): Gets form field values. Req().FormFile(key string, maxFileSize ...int64): Handles file uploads from multipart forms. Req().JSON(store any): Decodes JSON request bodies into a provided Go interface. Req().Locals(key any, value ...any): Manages request-scoped data in the context. Response Handling: The Response struct (wrapped http.ResponseWriter) provides a fluent API for crafting responses: Res(rw).Status(code int): Sets the HTTP status code. Res(rw).Text(data string): Sends text/plain content. Res(rw).JSON(data any): Sends application/json content, using the configured JSON marshaller. Res(rw).HTML(path string, data any): Renders HTML templates using html/template. Configuration: Global Config options are set via ngamux.New() and functional options like ngamux.WithTrailingSlash() and ngamux.WithLogLevel(). Custom JSON marshalling/unmarshalling can be provided. Route Grouping: The mux.Group(path string) and mux.GroupFunc(path string, router func(mux *Ngamux)) methods allow hierarchical organization of routes, where child groups inherit path prefixes and can apply their own set of middlewares, leading to cleaner code organization and shared logic.
