Package `gorilla/mux` implements a request router and dispatcher for matching incoming requests to
their respective handler.
The name mux stands for "HTTP request multiplexer". Like the standard `http.ServeMux`, `mux.Router` matches incoming requests against a list of registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL or other conditions. The main features are:
* It implements the `http.Handler` interface so it is compatible with the standard `http.ServeMux`.
* Requests can be matched based on URL host, path, path prefix, schemes, header and query values, HTTP methods or using custom matchers.
* URL hosts, paths and query values can have variables with an optional regular expression.
* Registered URLs can be built, or "reversed", which helps maintaining references to resources.
* Routes can be used as subrouters: nested routes are only tested if the parent route matches. This is useful to define groups of routes that share common conditions like a host, a path prefix or other repeated attributes. As a bonus, this optimizes request matching.

## Install
With a [correctly configured](https://golang.org/doc/install#testing) Go toolchain:
```sh
go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux
```
## Examples
Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers:
```go
func main() {
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler)
r.HandleFunc("/products", ProductsHandler)
r.HandleFunc("/articles", ArticlesHandler)
http.Handle("/", r)
}
```
Here we register three routes mapping URL paths to handlers. This is equivalent to how `http.HandleFunc()` works: if an incoming request URL matches one of the paths, the corresponding handler is called passing (`http.ResponseWriter`, `*http.Request`) as parameters.
Paths can have variables. They are defined using the format `{name}` or `{name:pattern}`. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched variable will be anything until the next slash. For example:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/products/{key}", ProductHandler)
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/", ArticlesCategoryHandler)
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler)
```
The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling `mux.Vars()`:
```go
func ArticlesCategoryHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
vars := mux.Vars(r)
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Category: %v\n", vars["category"])
}
```
And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below.
### Matching Routes
Routes can also be restricted to a domain or subdomain. Just define a host pattern to be matched. They can also have variables:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
// Only matches if domain is "www.example.com".
r.Host("www.example.com")
// Matches a dynamic subdomain.
r.Host("{subdomain:[a-z]+}.domain.com")
```
There are several other matchers that can be added. To match path prefixes:
```go
r.PathPrefix("/products/")
```
...or HTTP methods:
```go
r.Methods("GET", "POST")
```
...or URL schemes:
```go
r.Schemes("https")
```
...or header values:
```go
r.Headers("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest")
```
...or query values:
```go
r.Queries("key", "value")
```
...or to use a custom matcher function:
```go
r.MatcherFunc(func(r *http.Request, rm *RouteMatch) bool {
return r.ProtoMajor == 0
})
```
...and finally, it is possible to combine several matchers in a single route:
```go
r.HandleFunc("/products", ProductsHandler).
Host("www.example.com").
Methods("GET").
Schemes("http")
```
Routes are tested in the order they were added to the router. If two routes match, the first one wins:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/specific", specificHandler)
r.PathPrefix("/").Handler(catchAllHandler)
```
Setting the same matching conditions again and again can be boring, so we have a way to group several routes that share the same requirements. We call it "subrouting".
For example, let's say we have several URLs that should only match when the host is `www.example.com`. Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter" from it:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
s := r.Host("www.example.com").Subrouter()
```
Then register routes in the subrouter:
```go
s.HandleFunc("/products/", ProductsHandler)
s.HandleFunc("/products/{key}", ProductHandler)
s.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler)
```
The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is `www.example.com`, because the subrouter is tested first. This is not only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route.
Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its paths relatively to a given subrouter.
There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix, the inner routes use it as base for their paths:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
s := r.PathPrefix("/products").Subrouter()
// "/products/"
s.HandleFunc("/", ProductsHandler)
// "/products/{key}/"
s.HandleFunc("/{key}/", ProductHandler)
// "/products/{key}/details"
s.HandleFunc("/{key}/details", ProductDetailsHandler)
```
### Listing Routes
Routes on a mux can be listed using the Router.Walk method—useful for generating documentation:
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"strings"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
return
}
func main() {
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/", handler)
r.HandleFunc("/products", handler).Methods("POST")
r.HandleFunc("/articles", handler).Methods("GET")
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{id}", handler).Methods("GET", "PUT")
r.HandleFunc("/authors", handler).Queries("surname", "{surname}")
r.Walk(func(route *mux.Route, router *mux.Router, ancestors []*mux.Route) error {
t, err := route.GetPathTemplate()
if err != nil {
return err
}
qt, err := route.GetQueriesTemplates()
if err != nil {
return err
}
// p will contain regular expression is compatible with regular expression in Perl, Python, and other languages.
// for instance the regular expression for path '/articles/{id}' will be '^/articles/(?P<v0>[^/]+)$'
p, err := route.GetPathRegexp()
if err != nil {
return err
}
// qr will contain a list of regular expressions with the same semantics as GetPathRegexp,
// just applied to the Queries pairs instead, e.g., 'Queries("surname", "{surname}") will return
// {"^surname=(?P<v0>.*)$}. Where each combined query pair will have an entry in the list.
qr, err := route.GetQueriesRegexp()
if err != nil {
return err
}
m, err := route.GetMethods()
if err != nil {
return err
}
fmt.Println(strings.Join(m, ","), strings.Join(qt, ","), strings.Join(qr, ","), t, p)
return nil
})
http.Handle("/", r)
}
```
### Static Files
Note that the path provided to `PathPrefix()` represents a "wildcard": calling
`PathPrefix("/static/").Handler(...)` means that the handler will be passed any
request that matches "/static/*". This makes it easy to serve static files with mux:
```go
func main() {
var dir string
flag.StringVar(&dir, "dir", ".", "the directory to serve files from. Defaults to the current dir")
flag.Parse()
r := mux.NewRouter()
// This will serve files under http://localhost:8000/static/<filename>
r.PathPrefix("/static/").Handler(http.StripPrefix("/static/", http.FileServer(http.Dir(dir))))
srv := &http.Server{
Handler: r,
Addr: "127.0.0.1:8000",
// Good practice: enforce timeouts for servers you create!
WriteTimeout: 15 * time.Second,
ReadTimeout: 15 * time.Second,
}
log.Fatal(srv.ListenAndServe())
}
```
### Registered URLs
Now let's see how to build registered URLs.
Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built, or "reversed". We define a name calling `Name()` on a route. For example:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler).
Name("article")
```
To build a URL, get the route and call the `URL()` method, passing a sequence of key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do:
```go
url, err := r.Get("article").URL("category", "technology", "id", "42")
```
...and the result will be a `url.URL` with the following path:
```
"/articles/technology/42"
```
This also works for host and query value variables:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.Host("{subdomain}.domain.com").
Path("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}").
Queries("filter", "{filter}").
HandlerFunc(ArticleHandler).
Name("article")
// url.String() will be "http://news.domain.com/articles/technology/42?filter=gorilla"
url, err := r.Get("article").URL("subdomain", "news",
"category", "technology",
"id", "42",
"filter", "gorilla")
```
All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match.
Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do:
```go
r.HeadersRegexp("Content-Type", "application/(text|json)")
```
...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as `application/text`
There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route: use the methods `URLHost()` or `URLPath()` instead. For the previous route, we would do:
```go
// "http://news.domain.com/"
host, err := r.Get("article").URLHost("subdomain", "news")
// "/articles/technology/42"
path, err := r.Get("article").URLPath("category", "technology", "id", "42")
```
And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
s := r.Host("{subdomain}.domain.com").Subrouter()
s.Path("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}").
HandlerFunc(ArticleHandler).
Name("article")
// "http://news.domain.com/articles/technology/42"
url, err := r.Get("article").URL("subdomain", "news",
"category", "technology",
"id", "42")
```
### Walking Routes
The `Walk` function on `mux.Router` can be used to visit all of the routes that are registered on a router. For example,
the following prints all of the registered routes:
```go
r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/", handler)
r.HandleFunc("/products", handler).Methods("POST")
r.HandleFunc("/articles", handler).Methods("GET")
r.HandleFunc("/articles/{id}", handler).Methods("GET", "PUT")
r.HandleFunc("/authors", handler).Queries("surname", "{surname}")
r.Walk(func(route *mux.Route, router *mux.Router, ancestors []*mux.Route) error {
t, err := route.GetPathTemplate()
if err != nil {
return err
}
qt, err := route.GetQueriesTemplates()
if err != nil {
return err
}
// p will contain a regular expression that is compatible with regular expressions in Perl, Python, and other languages.
// For example, the regular expression for path '/articles/{id}' will be '^/articles/(?P<v0>[^/]+)$'.
p, err := route.GetPathRegexp()
if err != nil {
return err
}
// qr will contain a list of regular expressions with the same semantics as GetPathRegexp,
// just applied to the Queries pairs instead, e.g., 'Queries("surname", "{surname}") will return
// {"^surname=(?P<v0>.*)$}. Where each combined query pair will have an entry in the list.
qr, err := route.GetQueriesRegexp()
if err != nil {
return err
}
m, err := route.GetMethods()
if err != nil {
return err
}
fmt.Println(strings.Join(m, ","), strings.Join(qt, ","), strings.Join(qr, ","), t, p)
return nil
})
```
## Full Example
Here's a complete, runnable example of a small `mux` based server:
```go
package main
import (
"net/http"
"log"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
func YourHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Gorilla!\n"))
}
func main() {
r := mux.NewRouter()
// Routes consist of a path and a handler function.
r.HandleFunc("/", YourHandler)
// Bind to a port and pass our router in
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r))
}
```
