Middleware template for the GoFlash web framework

Features

• Minimal example middleware (ExampleMiddleware) showing the pattern
• Runnable example app under examples/basic
• Go module with Go 1.23 toolchain
• Ready to copy/fork for new middleware in the GoFlash ecosystem

Installation

go get github.com/goflash/middleware-template

Go version: requires Go 1.23+. The module sets go 1.23 and can be used with newer Go versions.

Quick start

This is the minimal usage from examples/basic:

package main

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/goflash/middleware-template"
    "github.com/goflash/flash/v2"
)

func main() {
    app := flash.New()

    // Use the example middleware
    app.Use(example.ExampleMiddleware)

    // Define a simple route
    app.GET("/", func(c flash.Ctx) error {
        return c.String(http.StatusOK, "ok")
    })

    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", app))
}

Configuration

This template doesn’t prescribe configuration. Customize the middleware to your needs by editing ExampleMiddleware (or replacing it with your own). A typical middleware should:

• Accept and return a flash.Handler
• Optionally read/write values on the request context
• Call next(c) to pass control to the next handler

Examples

• examples/basic: minimal setup showing how to plug the middleware into a GoFlash app and serve a simple route.

Run the example locally:

cd examples/basic
go run .

Then in another shell:

curl -s localhost:8080/

Testing

Run tests with coverage:

./scripts/coverage.sh
