plugin

Overview ¶

Package plugin provides plugin register interfaces for building http client plugins.

Usage example:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"errors"
	"fmt"
	"html"
	"net/http"
)

// ClientRegisterer is the symbol the plugin loader will try to load. It must implement the RegisterClient interface
var ClientRegisterer = registerer("lura-example")

type registerer string

func (r registerer) RegisterClients(f func(
	name string,
	handler func(context.Context, map[string]interface{}) (http.Handler, error),
)) {
	f(string(r), r.registerClients)
}

func (r registerer) registerClients(ctx context.Context, extra map[string]interface{}) (http.Handler, error) {
	// check the passed configuration and initialize the plugin
	name, ok := extra["name"].(string)
	if !ok {
		return nil, errors.New("wrong config")
	}
	if name != string(r) {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("unknown register %s", name)
	}
	// return the actual handler wrapping or your custom logic so it can be used as a replacement for the default http client
	return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, %q", html.EscapeString(req.URL.Path))
	}), nil
}

func init() {
	fmt.Println("lura-example client plugin loaded!!!")
}

func main() {}
