package chain // This is a modified version of https://github.com/justinas/alice // The original code is licensed under the MIT license. // It's modified for couple reasons: // - Added the Chain interface // - Added support for the Chain.Prepend(...) method import "net/http" type ( // Chain defines a chain of middleware. Chain interface { Append(middlewares ...Middleware) Chain Prepend(middlewares ...Middleware) Chain Then(h http.Handler) http.Handler ThenFunc(fn http.HandlerFunc) http.Handler } // Middleware is an HTTP middleware. Middleware func(http.Handler) http.Handler // chain acts as a list of http.Handler middlewares. // chain is effectively immutable: // once created, it will always hold // the same set of middlewares in the same order. chain struct { middlewares []Middleware } ) // New creates a new Chain, memorizing the given list of middleware middlewares. // New serves no other function, middlewares are only called upon a call to Then() or ThenFunc(). func New(middlewares ...Middleware) Chain { return chain{middlewares: append(([]Middleware)(nil), middlewares...)} } // Append extends a chain, adding the specified middlewares as the last ones in the request flow. // // c := chain.New(m1, m2) // c.Append(m3, m4) // // requests in c go m1 -> m2 -> m3 -> m4 func (c chain) Append(middlewares ...Middleware) Chain { return chain{middlewares: join(c.middlewares, middlewares)} } // Prepend extends a chain by adding the specified chain as the first one in the request flow. // // c := chain.New(m3, m4) // c1 := chain.New(m1, m2) // c.Prepend(c1) // // requests in c go m1 -> m2 -> m3 -> m4 func (c chain) Prepend(middlewares ...Middleware) Chain { return chain{middlewares: join(middlewares, c.middlewares)} } // Then chains the middleware and returns the final http.Handler. // // New(m1, m2, m3).Then(h) // // is equivalent to: // // m1(m2(m3(h))) // // When the request comes in, it will be passed to m1, then m2, then m3 // and finally, the given handler // (assuming every middleware calls the following one). // // A chain can be safely reused by calling Then() several times. // // stdStack := chain.New(ratelimitHandler, csrfHandler) // indexPipe = stdStack.Then(indexHandler) // authPipe = stdStack.Then(authHandler) // // Note that middlewares are called on every call to Then() or ThenFunc() // and thus several instances of the same middleware will be created // when a chain is reused in this way. // For proper middleware, this should cause no problems. // // Then() treats nil as http.DefaultServeMux. func (c chain) Then(h http.Handler) http.Handler { if h == nil { h = http.DefaultServeMux } for i := range c.middlewares { h = c.middlewares[len(c.middlewares)-1-i](h) } return h } // ThenFunc works identically to Then, but takes // a HandlerFunc instead of a Handler. // // The following two statements are equivalent: // // c.Then(http.HandlerFunc(fn)) // c.ThenFunc(fn) // // ThenFunc provides all the guarantees of Then. func (c chain) ThenFunc(fn http.HandlerFunc) http.Handler { // This nil check cannot be removed due to the "nil is not nil" common mistake in Go. // Required due to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33426977/how-to-golang-check-a-variable-is-nil if fn == nil { return c.Then(nil) } return c.Then(fn) } func join(a, b []Middleware) []Middleware { mids := make([]Middleware, 0, len(a)+len(b)) mids = append(mids, a...) mids = append(mids, b...) return mids }
