# Rewrite
[](https://github.com/kataras/rewrite/actions) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/kataras/rewrite) [](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/kataras/rewrite)
Like [Apache mod_rewrite](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/) but for Golang's [net/http](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/). Initially created for the [Iris Web Framework](https://github.com/kataras/iris) a long time ago. The success of its usefulness is well known as many others have copied and moved the [original source code](https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/master/middleware/rewrite) into various frameworks since then, if you deem it necessary, you are free to do the same.
## Installation
The only requirement is the [Go Programming Language](https://golang.org/dl).
```sh
$ go get github.com/kataras/rewrite
```
### Examples
- [Basic](_examples/basic)
- [Subdomains](_examples/subdomains)
## Getting Started
The Rewrite Middleware supports rewrite URL path, subdomain or host based on a regular expression search and replace.
The syntax is familiar to the majority of the backend developers out there and it looks like that:
| REDIRECT_CODE_DIGITS | PATTERN_REGEX | TARGET_REPL |
|----------------------|---------------|-------------|
| 301 | /seo/(.*) | /$1 |
Would redirect all requests from relative path `/seo/*` to `/*` using the `301 (Moved Permanently)` HTTP Status Code. Learn more about [regex](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/#example_Regexp_ReplaceAllString).
**Usage**
First of all, you should import the builtin middleware as follows:
```go
import "github.com/kataras/rewrite"
```
There are two ways to load rewrite options in order to parse and register the redirect rules:
**1.** Through code using the `New` function and `Handler` method. Parse errors can be handled and rules can be programmatically created.
```go
// 1. Code the redirect rules.
opts := rewrite.Options{
RedirectMatch: []string{
"301 /seo/(.*) /$1",
"301 /docs/v12(.*) /docs",
"301 /old(.*) /",
},
PrimarySubdomain: "www",
}
// 2. Initialize the Rewrite Engine.
rw, err := rewrite.New(opts)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// 3. Wrap the router using Engine's Handler method.
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", rw.Handler(mux))
```
**2.** Or through a `yaml` file using the `Load` function which returns a `func(http.Handler) http.Handler`. It is the most common scenario and the simplest one. It panics on parse errors.
The `"redirects.yml"` file looks like that:
```yaml
RedirectMatch:
# Redirects /seo/* to /*
- 301 /seo/(.*) /$1
# Redirects /docs/v12* to /docs
- 301 /docs/v12(.*) /docs
# Redirects /old(.*) to /
- 301 /old(.*) /
# Redirects root domain requests to www.
PrimarySubdomain: www
```
```go
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
// [...routes]
redirects := rewrite.Load("redirects.yml")
// Wrap the router.
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", redirects(mux))
}
```
## Example
Let's write a simple application which follows the redirect rules of:
| SOURCE | TARGET |
|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| http://localhost:8080/seo/about | http://localhost:8080/about |
| http://mydomain.com:8080/docs/v12/hello | http://www.mydomain.com:8080/docs |
| http://mydomain.com:8080/docs/v12some | http://www.mydomain.com:8080/docs |
| http://mydomain.com:8080/oldsome | http://www.mydomain.com:8080 |
| http://mydomain.com:8080/oldindex/random | http://www.mydomain.com:8080 |
### Server
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"github.com/kataras/rewrite"
)
func main() {
// Code the redirect rules.
opts := rewrite.Options{
RedirectMatch: []string{
"301 /seo/(.*) /$1", // redirect /seo/* to /*
"301 /docs/v12(.*) /docs", // redirect docs/v12/* to /docs
"301 /old(.*) /", // redirect /old** to /
},
PrimarySubdomain: "www", // redirect root to www. subdomain.
}
// Initialize the Rewrite Engine.
rw, err := rewrite.New(opts)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
router := http.NewServeMux()
router.HandleFunc("/", index)
router.HandleFunc("/about", about)
router.HandleFunc("/docs", docs)
log.Println("Listening on :8080")
// Wrap the router using the Handler method.
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", rw.Handler(router))
}
func index(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintln(w, "Index")
}
func about(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintln(w, "About")
}
func docs(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintln(w, "Docs")
}
```
