# Vestigo - A Standalone Golang URL Router

## Abstract
Many fast Golang URL routers are often embedded inside frameworks. Vestigo is a stand alone url router
which has respectable performance that passes URL parameters to handlers by embedding them into the request's
Form.
There is such an abundance of parts and pieces that can be fit together for go web services, it seems like a
shame to have a very fast URL router require the use of one framework, and one context model. This library
aims to give the world a fast, and featureful URL router that can stand on it's own, without being forced into
a particular web framework.
## Design
1. Radix Tree Based
2. Attach URL Parameters into Request (PAT style) instead of context
3. HTTP Compliance (TRACE, OPTIONS, HEAD)
4. CORS Enabled (per resource access-controls)
### TODOs for V1
- [x] Router functioning with a resource concept attached to leaf nodes
- [x] Use resources to drive responses to particular Methods (not found v not allowed)
- [x] Implement Resource and Globally scoped CORS preflights
- [x] Fix bug in router where handler.allowedMethods is getting populated where it shouldn't be
- [x] Validate with Tests RFC 2616 Compliance (OPTIONS, etc)
### TODOs for V2
- [ ] Validators for URL params
- [ ] Implement RFC 6570 URI Parameters
## Performance
Initial implementation on a fork of [standard http performance testing library][http-perf-test] shows the following:
```
BenchmarkVestigo_GithubAll 20000 75763 ns/op 9280 B/op 339 allocs/op
```
I should mention that the above performance is about 2x slower than the fastest URL router I have tested (Echo/Gin), and
is slightly worse than HTTPRouter, but I am happy with this performance considering this implementation is the fastest
implementation that can handle standard http.HandlerFunc handlers, without forcing end users to use a particular context,
or use a non-standard handler function, locking them into an implementation.
## Examples
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/husobee/vestigo"
)
func main() {
router := vestigo.NewRouter()
// you can enable trace by setting this to true
vestigo.AllowTrace = true
// Setting up router global CORS policy
// These policy guidelines are overriddable at a per resource level shown below
router.SetGlobalCors(&vestigo.CorsAccessControl{
AllowOrigin: []string{"*", "test.com"},
AllowCredentials: true,
ExposeHeaders: []string{"X-Header", "X-Y-Header"},
MaxAge: 3600 * time.Second,
AllowHeaders: []string{"X-Header", "X-Y-Header"},
})
// setting two methods on the same resource
router.Get("/welcome", GetWelcomeHandler)
router.Post("/welcome", PostWelcomeHandler)
// URL parameter "name"
router.Post("/welcome/:name", PostWelcomeHandler)
// Catch-All methods to allow easy migration from http.ServeMux
router.HandleFunc("/general", GeneralHandler)
// Below Applies Local CORS capabilities per Resource (both methods covered)
// by default this will merge the "GlobalCors" settings with the resource
// cors settings. Without specifying the AllowMethods, the router will
// accept any Request-Methods that have valid handlers associated
router.SetCors("/welcome", &vestigo.CorsAccessControl{
AllowMethods: []string{"GET"}, // only allow cors for this resource on GET calls
AllowHeaders: []string{"X-Header", "X-Z-Header"}, // Allow this one header for this resource
})
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":1234", router))
}
func PostWelcomeHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
name := vestigo.Param(r, "name") // url params live in the request
w.WriteHeader(200)
w.Write([]byte("welcome " + name + "!"))
}
func GetWelcomeHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.WriteHeader(200)
w.Write([]byte("welcome!"))
}
func GeneralHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.WriteHeader(200)
w.Write([]byte("Gotta catch em all!"))
}
```
## Middleware
Router helper methods (Get, Post, ...) support optional middleware (vestigo provides only middleware type, it is up to
the user to create one).
```go
router.Get("/welcome", GetWelcomeHandler, someMiddleware)
someMiddleware := func(f http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// before
f(w, r)
// after
}
}
```
To break the chain (for example in case of authentication middleware, we don't want to continue execution), just do not
call passed handler function. Example:
```go
auth := func(f http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
if authSuccessful() {
f(w, r)
}
}
}
```
## App Performance with net/http/pprof
It is often very helpful to view profiling information from your web application.
Below is an example of hooking up net/http/pprof with vestigo serving the routes:
```go
// Load the routes.
func Load(router *vestigo.Router) {
router.Get("/debug/pprof/", Index)
router.Get("/debug/pprof/:pprof", Profile)
}
// Index shows the profile index.
func Index(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
pprof.Index(w, r)
}
// Profile shows the individual profiles.
func Profile(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
switch vestigo.Param(r, "pprof") {
case "cmdline":
pprof.Cmdline(w, r)
case "profile":
pprof.Profile(w, r)
case "symbol":
pprof.Symbol(w, r)
case "trace":
pprof.Trace(w, r)
default:
Index(w, r)
}
}
```
Note on wildcards: if you want to get the actual path matched by the wildcard
you can perform `vestigo.Param(*http.Request, "_name")` to get the matched path, example below:
```go
router.Get("/*", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Println(vestigo.Param(r, "_name"))
})
```
