I've been using gorilla/mux
for my routing needs. But I noticed one problem, when I nest multiple Subrouters it doesn't work.
Here is the example:
func main() {
r := mux.NewRouter().StrictSlash(true)
api := r.Path("/api").Subrouter()
u := api.Path("/user").Subrouter()
u.Methods("GET").HandleFunc(UserHandler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", r)
}
I wanted to use this approach so I can delegate populating the router to some other package, for example user.Populate(api)
However this doesn't seem to work. It works only if I use single Subrouter in the chain.
Any ideas?
I figured it out, so I'll just post it here in case someone is as stupid as I was. :D
When creating path-based subrouter, you have to obtain it with PathPrefix
instead of Path
.
r.PathPrefix("/api").Subrouter()
Use r.Path("/api")
only when attaching handlers to that endpoint.
For those who are struggling to split between auth and noauth routes, the following works fine for me:
r := mux.NewRouter()
noAuthRouter := r.MatcherFunc(func(r *http.Request, rm *mux.RouteMatch) bool {
return r.Header.Get("Authorization") == ""
}).Subrouter()
authRouter := r.MatcherFunc(func(r *http.Request, rm *mux.RouteMatch) bool {
return true
}).Subrouter()
Then you can apply middleware for authRouter only
