Toolbox

A simple example of how to create a reusable Go module with commonly used tools.

The included tools are:

  • Read JSON
  • Write JSON
  • Produce a JSON encoded error response
  • Upload a file to a specified directory
  • Download a static file
  • Get a random string of length n
  • Post JSON to a remote service
  • Create a directory, including all parent directories, if it does not already exist
  • Create a URL safe slug from a string

Installation

go get -u github.com/tsawler/toolbox

Types

type JSONResponse

type JSONResponse struct {
	Error   bool        `json:"error"`
	Message string      `json:"message"`
	Data    interface{} `json:"data,omitempty"`
}

JSON Response is the type used for sending JSON around

type Tools

type Tools struct {
	MaxFileSize        int
	AllowedFileTypes   []string
	MaxJSONSize        int
	AllowUnknownFields bool
}

Tools is the type used to instantiate this module. Any variable of this type will have access to all the methods with the receiver *Tools

func (*Tools) CreateDirIfNotExist

func (t *Tools) CreateDirIfNotExist(path string) error

CreateDirIfNotExist creates a directory, and all necessary parents, if it does not exist

func (*Tools) DownloadStaticFile

func (t *Tools) DownloadStaticFile(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, p, file, displayName string)

DownloadStaticFile donwloads a file, and tries to force the browser to avoid displaying it in the browser window by setting content disposition. It also allows specification of the display name

func (*Tools) ErrorJSON

func (t *Tools) ErrorJSON(w http.ResponseWriter, err error, status ...int) error

ErrorJSON takes an error, and optionally a status codew, and gernrates and JSON response error message

func (*Tools) PushJSONToRemote

func (t *Tools) PushJSONToRemote(uri string, data interface{}, client ...*http.Client) (*http.Response, int, error)

PushJSONToRemote posts arbitrary data to some URL as JSON, and returns the response, status code, and error if any. The final parameter, client is optional. If none is specified, we use the standard http.Client.

func (*Tools) RandomString

func (t *Tools) RandomString(n int) string

RandomString returns a string of random characters of length n, using randomStringSource as the source for the string

func (*Tools) ReadJSON

func (t *Tools) ReadJSON(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, data interface{}) error

ReadJSON tries to read the body of a request and converts from json into a go data variable

func (*Tools) Slugify

func (t *Tools) Slugify(s string) (string, error)

Slugify is a (very) simple means of creating a slug from a string

func (*Tools) UploadFiles

func (t *Tools) UploadFiles(r *http.Request, uploadDir string, rename ...bool) ([]*UploadedFile, error)

func (*Tools) UploadOneFile

func (t *Tools) UploadOneFile(r *http.Request, uploadDir string, rename ...bool) (*UploadedFile, error)

func (*Tools) WriteJSON

func (t *Tools) WriteJSON(w http.ResponseWriter, status int, data interface{}, headers ...http.Header) error

WriteJSON takes a response status code and arbitrary data and writes json to the client

type UploadedFile

type UploadedFile struct {
	NewFileName      string
	OriginalFileName string
	FileSize         int64
}

UploadedFile is a struct used to save information about an uploaded file
