## Installation
|
|
|
|
Echo has been developed and tested using Go `1.4.x`
|
|
|
|
Install the latest version of Echo via `go get`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ go get github.com/labstack/echo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To upgrade
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ go get -u github.com/labstack/echo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Echo follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org) managed through GitHub releases.
|
|
Specific version of Echo can be installed using any [package manager](https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#package-management).
|
|
|
|
## Customization
|
|
|
|
### Max path parameters
|
|
|
|
`echo.MaxParam(n uint8)`
|
|
|
|
Sets the maximum number of path parameters allowed for the application.
|
|
Default value is **5**, [good enough](https://github.com/interagent/http-api-design#minimize-path-nesting)
|
|
for many use cases. Restricting path parameters allows us to use memory efficiently.
|
|
|
|
### Not found handler
|
|
|
|
`echo.NotFoundHandler(h Handler)`
|
|
|
|
Registers a custom NotFound handler used by
|
|
router in case it doesn't find any registered handler for HTTP method and path.
|
|
|
|
Default handler sends 404 "Not Found" response.
|
|
|
|
### HTTP error handler
|
|
|
|
`echo.HTTPErrorHandler(h HTTPErrorHandler)`
|
|
|
|
Registers a centralized HTTP error handler.
|
|
|
|
Default http error handler sends 500 "Internal Server Error" response.
|
|
|
|
## Routing
|
|
|
|
Echo's router is [fast, optimized](https://github.com/labstack/echo#benchmark) and
|
|
flexible. It's based on [redix tree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree)
|
|
data structure which makes routing lookup really fast. It leverages
|
|
[sync pool](https://golang.org/pkg/sync/#Pool) to reuse memory and achieve
|
|
zero dynamic memory allocation with no garbage collection.
|
|
|
|
Routes can be registered for any HTTP method, path and handler. For example, code
|
|
below registers a route for method `GET`, path `/hello` and a handler which sends
|
|
`Hello!` response.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
echo.Get("/hello", func(*echo.Context) {
|
|
c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello!")
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- ### Groups -->
|
|
|
|
### Path parameters
|
|
|
|
URL path parameters can be extracted either by name `echo.Context.Param(name string) string` or by
|
|
index `echo.Context.P(i uint8) string`. Getting parameter by index gives a slightly
|
|
better performance.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
echo.Get("/users/:id", func(c *echo.Context) {
|
|
// By name
|
|
id := c.Param("id")
|
|
|
|
// By index
|
|
id := c.P(0)
|
|
|
|
c.String(http.StatusOK, id)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Match any
|
|
|
|
Matches zero or more characters in the path. For example, pattern `/users/*` will
|
|
match
|
|
|
|
- `/users/`
|
|
- `/users/1`
|
|
- `/users/1/files/1`
|
|
- `/users/anything...`
|
|
|
|
<!-- Test it -->
|
|
|
|
### Path matching order
|
|
|
|
- Static
|
|
- Param
|
|
- Match any
|
|
|
|
<!-- Different use cases -->
|
|
|
|
### URI building
|
|
|
|
`echo.URI` can be used generate URI for any handler with specified path parameters.
|
|
It's helpful to centralize all your URI patterns which ease in refactoring your
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
`echo.URI(h, 1)` will generate `/users/1` for the route registered below
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Handler
|
|
h := func(*echo.Context) {
|
|
c.String(http.StatusOK, "OK")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Route
|
|
e.Get("/users/:id", h)
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Static Content
|
|
|
|
### Static files
|
|
|
|
`echo.Static(path, root string)` can be used to serve static files. For example,
|
|
code below serves all files from `public/scripts` directory for any path starting
|
|
with `/scripts/`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e.Static("/scripts", "public/scripts")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Serving a file
|
|
|
|
`echo.ServeFile(path, file string)` can be used to serve a file. For example, code
|
|
below serves welcome.html for path `/welcome`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e.ServeFile("/welcome", "welcome.html")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Serving an index file
|
|
|
|
`echo.Index(file string)` can be used to serve index file. For example, code below
|
|
serves index.html for path `/`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e.Index("index.html")
|
|
```
