Middleware
I noticed the following behavior. If I added a middleware handler (e.g. CORS) by calling
sh {"id":"01HX85T5S3CSFDGSXJ8BP7E4XJ"} router.Use
If this was invoked after adding static routes then the middleware didn’t apply to the static routes. Moving the call to Use before the static routes were added seemed to fix that.
Maybe this makes sense because middleware is a chain of handlers which keeps invoking the next one. But the static handler is probably a final handler; i.e. it probably writes a response so any handlers added after it don’t get called.
If you want to serve a static directory and apply some middleware just to it do the following
sh {"id":"01HX85T5S3CSFDGSXJ8EM6TCSE"} group := router.Group(m.relativePath) if m.middleWare != nil { group.Use(m.middleWare...) } # Since the relative path is already set we just use the empty path group.Static("/", m.root)
Matching a Prefix
I think if you want a single handler for all paths you can use *any. e.g
go {"id":"01HX85T5S3CSFDGSXJ8HJJ35NW"} router.GET("/someprefix/*any", func(c *gin.Context) { c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"matchedRoute": c.FullPath(), "path": c.Request.URL.Path}) })
You can then do
sh {"id":"01HX85T5S3CSFDGSXJ8HV1VFZN"} curl http://localhost:8080/someprefix/a/b/c {"matchedRoute":"/someprefix/*any","path":"/someprefix/a/b/c"}
If /someprefix doesn’t match another route than a 301 is automatically added to redirect to /someprefix/
yaml {"id":"01HX85T5S3CSFDGSXJ8JRKKZNR"} curl http://localhost:8080/someprefix <a href="/someprefix/">Moved Permanently</a>.
I don’t think you can just use router.Group. I think that will only match the specific subprefixes that you add to the group. e.g. the following won’t match any paths
go {"id":"01HX85T5S3CSFDGSXJ8MVHG1VR"} router.Group("/someprefix", func(c *gin.Context) { c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"matchedRoute": c.FullPath(), "path": c.Request.URL.Path}) })
Gin and connect RPC
Here’s an example of using gin to add a handler for a connect RPC server
path, handler := v1alpha1connect.NewEvalServiceHandler(&eval.EvalServer{})
log.Info("Setting up eval service", "path", path)
router.Any(path+"*any", gin.WrapH(handler))
