HTTP Negotiation

What does this library?

This library provides a simple way to negotiate the content type of HTTP request.

It supports:

Installation

go get gitlab.schukai.com/oss/libraries/go/network/http-negotiation

Note: This library uses Go Modules to manage dependencies.

Usage

Content Negotiation

With the Type function you can negotiate the content type of HTTP request.

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"gitlab.schukai.com/oss/libraries/go/network/http-negotiation"
)

func handleRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	n := negotiation.New(r.Header)

	if n.Type("application/json") == "application/json" {
		w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
		w.Write([]byte(`{"message": "Hello World!"}`))
		return
	}

}

Accept Content Type

With the ContentType function you can negotiate the content type of HTTP request.

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"gitlab.schukai.com/oss/libraries/go/network/http-negotiation"
)

func handleRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	n := negotiation.New(r.Header)

	if n.ContentType("application/json") != "" {
		// ...
	}

}

Language Negotiation

With the Language function you can negotiate the language of HTTP request.

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"gitlab.schukai.com/oss/libraries/go/network/http-negotiation"
)

func handleRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	n := negotiation.New(r.Header)

	if n.Language("en-GB", "en") != "en" {
		// ...
	}

}

Charset Negotiation

With the Charset function you can negotiate the charset of HTTP request.

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"gitlab.schukai.com/oss/libraries/go/network/http-negotiation"
)

func handleRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	n := negotiation.New(r.Header)

	if n.Charset("utf-8", "iso-8859-1") != "utf-8" {
		// ...
	}

}

Encoding Negotiation

With the Encoding function you can negotiate the encoding of HTTP request.

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"gitlab.schukai.com/oss/libraries/go/network/http-negotiation"
)

func handleRequest(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	n := negotiation.New(r.Header)

	if n.Encoding("gzip", "deflate") != "gzip" {
		// ...
	}

}

Contributing

Merge requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.

Versioning is done with SemVer. Changelog is generated with git-chglog

Commit messages should follow the Conventional Commits specification. Messages are started with a type, which is one of the following:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • doc: Documentation only changes
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing or correcting existing tests
  • chore: Other changes that don't modify src or test files

The footer would be used for a reference to an issue or a breaking change.

A commit that has a footer BREAKING CHANGE:, or appends a ! after the type/scope, introduces a breaking API change (correlating with MAJOR in semantic versioning). A BREAKING CHANGE can be part of commits of any type.

the following is an example of a commit message:

feat: add 'extras' field
