**Notice:** This is the library formerly known as
`github.com/codegangsta/negroni` -- Github will automatically redirect requests
to this repository, but we recommend updating your references for clarity.
Negroni is an idiomatic approach to web middleware in Go. It is tiny,
non-intrusive, and encourages use of `net/http` Handlers.
If you like the idea of [Martini](https://github.com/go-martini/martini), but
you think it contains too much magic, then Negroni is a great fit.

## Getting Started
After installing Go and setting up your
[GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH), create your first `.go` file.
We'll call it `server.go`.
<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
``` go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
})
n := negroni.Classic() // Includes some default middlewares
n.UseHandler(mux)
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", n)
}
```
Then install the Negroni package (**NOTE**: &gt;= **go 1.1** is required):
```
go get github.com/urfave/negroni
```
Then run your server:
```
go run server.go
```
You will now have a Go `net/http` webserver running on `localhost:3000`.
## Is Negroni a Framework?
Negroni is **not** a framework. It is a middleware-focused library that is
designed to work directly with `net/http`.
## Routing?
Negroni is BYOR (Bring your own Router). The Go community already has a number
of great http routers available, and Negroni tries to play well with all of them
by fully supporting `net/http`. For instance, integrating with [Gorilla Mux]
looks like so:
``` go
router := mux.NewRouter()
router.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler)
n := negroni.New(Middleware1, Middleware2)
// Or use a middleware with the Use() function
n.Use(Middleware3)
// router goes last
n.UseHandler(router)
http.ListenAndServe(":3001", n)
```
## `negroni.Classic()`
`negroni.Classic()` provides some default middleware that is useful for most
applications:
* [`negroni.Recovery`](#recovery) - Panic Recovery Middleware.
* [`negroni.Logger`](#logger) - Request/Response Logger Middleware.
* [`negroni.Static`](#static) - Static File serving under the "public"
directory.
This makes it really easy to get started with some useful features from Negroni.
## Handlers
Negroni provides a bidirectional middleware flow. This is done through the
`negroni.Handler` interface:
``` go
type Handler interface {
ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)
}
```
If a middleware hasn't already written to the `ResponseWriter`, it should call
the next `http.HandlerFunc` in the chain to yield to the next middleware
handler. This can be used for great good:
``` go
func MyMiddleware(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc) {
// do some stuff before
next(rw, r)
// do some stuff after
}
```
And you can map it to the handler chain with the `Use` function:
``` go
n := negroni.New()
n.Use(negroni.HandlerFunc(MyMiddleware))
```
You can also map plain old `http.Handler`s:
``` go
n := negroni.New()
mux := http.NewServeMux()
// map your routes
n.UseHandler(mux)
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", n)
```
## `Run()`
Negroni has a convenience function called `Run`. `Run` takes an addr string
identical to [`http.ListenAndServe`](https://godoc.org/net/http#ListenAndServe).
<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
``` go
package main
import (
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
n := negroni.Classic()
n.Run(":8080")
}
```
In general, you will want to use `net/http` methods and pass `negroni` as a
`Handler`, as this is more flexible, e.g.:
<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
``` go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
})
n := negroni.Classic() // Includes some default middlewares
n.UseHandler(mux)
s := &http.Server{
Addr: ":8080",
Handler: n,
ReadTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
WriteTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
MaxHeaderBytes: 1 << 20,
}
log.Fatal(s.ListenAndServe())
}
```
## Route Specific Middleware
If you have a route group of routes that need specific middleware to be
executed, you can simply create a new Negroni instance and use it as your route
handler.
``` go
router := mux.NewRouter()
adminRoutes := mux.NewRouter()
// add admin routes here
// Create a new negroni for the admin middleware
router.PathPrefix("/admin").Handler(negroni.New(
Middleware1,
Middleware2,
negroni.Wrap(adminRoutes),
))
```
If you are using [Gorilla Mux], here is an example using a subrouter:
``` go
router := mux.NewRouter()
subRouter := mux.NewRouter().PathPrefix("/subpath").Subrouter().StrictSlash(true)
subRouter.HandleFunc("/", someSubpathHandler) // "/subpath/"
subRouter.HandleFunc("/:id", someSubpathHandler) // "/subpath/:id"
// "/subpath" is necessary to ensure the subRouter and main router linkup
router.PathPrefix("/subpath").Handler(negroni.New(
Middleware1,
Middleware2,
negroni.Wrap(subRouter),
))
```
## Bundled Middleware
### Static
This middleware will serve files on the filesystem. If the files do not exist,
it proxies the request to the next middleware. If you want the requests for
non-existent files to return a `404 File Not Found` to the user you should look
at using [http.FileServer](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#FileServer) as
a handler.
Example:
<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
``` go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
})
// Example of using a http.FileServer if you want "server-like" rather than "middleware" behavior
// mux.Handle("/public", http.FileServer(http.Dir("/home/public")))
n := negroni.New()
n.Use(negroni.NewStatic(http.Dir("/tmp")))
n.UseHandler(mux)
http.ListenAndServe(":3002", n)
}
```
Will serve files from the `/tmp` directory first, but proxy calls to the next
handler if the request does not match a file on the filesystem.
### Recovery
This middleware catches `panic`s and responds with a `500` response code. If
any other middleware has written a response code or body, this middleware will
fail to properly send a 500 to the client, as the client has already received
the HTTP response code. Additionally, an `ErrorHandlerFunc` can be attached
to report 500's to an error reporting service such as Sentry or Airbrake.
Example:
<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
``` go
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
panic("oh no")
})
n := negroni.New()
n.Use(negroni.NewRecovery())
n.UseHandler(mux)
http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
}
```
Will return a `500 Internal Server Error` to each request. It will also log the
stack traces as well as print the stack trace to the requester if `PrintStack`
is set to `true` (the default).
Example with error handler:
``` go
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
panic("oh no")
})
n := negroni.New()
recovery := negroni.NewRecovery()
recovery.ErrorHandlerFunc = reportToSentry
n.Use(recovery)
n.UseHandler(mux)
http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
}
func reportToSentry(error interface{}) {
// write code here to report error to Sentry
}
```
## Logger
This middleware logs each incoming request and response.
Example:
<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
``` go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/urfave/negroni"
)
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
})
n := negroni.New()
n.Use(negroni.NewLogger())
n.UseHandler(mux)
http.ListenAndServe(":3004", n)
}
```
Will print a log similar to:
```
[negroni] Started GET /
[negroni] Completed 200 OK in 145.446µs
```
on each request.
