Using Stdlib in teams still sucks. Conventions are important in teams. No one wants to read 20 different implementations of boilerplate functions

@thisisreallyme3130

12 күн бұрын

Teams having uniform conventions and coding styles IS very important. But embracing abstractions isn't the most straightforward way to solve THAT problem. In any case, this is kind of a beginner tutorial and in THAT context it wouldn't be responsible to sidestep the std lib and just embrace framework du jour. I appreciate that in production code with large teams and churn, one needs to compromise and just use what "most" people use.

Go 1.22 is such a blessing. And this video explains everything in such a clear and concise way, it definitely deserves more views and subscribers.

8:18 one thing to note is that creating a wrapper for ResponseWriter like this may cause some issues and performance problems, because most ResponseWriter implementations also have methods that are not part of the interface (like http.Flusher, http.Pusher or http.Hijacker, used for WebSocket connections). If you want a battle-tested RW wrapper, you should take a look at the Chi router's WrapWriter middleware.

The API is very similar to chi. It's like chi is now a part of the standard library, which is great. Although, it lacks centralized error handling like what in Fiber has managed to perfect.

@TheQxY

Ай бұрын

I hear this a lot, but I don't think it's such an issue. For small projects, centralised error handling is not really necessary. And for larger projects you can implement a middleware that wraps a handler func that returns an error, logs it, and returns an handler func that does not return an error in less than 10 lines of code.

@h4ckedneko

Ай бұрын

@@TheQxY That is what I do in our older projects that uses net/http + chi. I created my own custom handler signature which is close to http.Handler but it returns error. Then the wrapper will catch that error, logs it in Sentry if it's fatal, then creates an HTTP response for that error. Though once we migrated to Fiber, I never got to do all those boilerplates again because the handler signature in Fiber returns an error just like in my custom handler, and you only need to register an error handler function in the router for catching those errors, no more tedious wrapping. I agree that it's not necessary but it's convenient to have.

Simply put, this is a masterpiece. Well done

@heldim92 go wants to be simple - minimal hierarchy and interfaces, tests colocated with code, etc; c# wants to be formal - well-defined hierarchy with dependency injection, distinct test projects and separation of concerns. Both approaches can be productive and valuable; both approaches can be taken too far and cause issues. The right choice for any particular project comes down to business requirements, team knowledge and the deployment target and what features of the SDK and supporting ecosystem you have a need for. All that said, I think C# (especially now with .net 8) is fantastic - and yet my default these days for projects is Go.

Awesome video. I used Chi and was very happy with it but now I will try standard net/http.

Porkbun is awesome, it's cool to see them sponsor videos like these!

I simply use a switch statement to call the correct handler and use structures and their methods to pass middleware functionality. Like a structure with fields for a database connection and a custom logger. Then your handler method can just make calls to the structure's fields' methods.

great video! quick tip: you can use a custom type as a key on context, this way there is no risk (due to type safety) of other packages accessing or overwriting your value

Loved this video. Simple and succinct!

I'm learning Golang and creating some SSR website to apply it, and you literally covered every question I had. I was just done writing logging middleware when I was wondering how to pass information (request id and context to sqlc) downstream...

Top-notch information, thanks DoC

I think this is a really good video. I started using Gin for my current project that I'm working on. I only did this because it had clear documentation on how to test. Maybe if there were a video on how I could write tests for this stuff, I would definitely choose the standard library for the next project.

I appreciate the new visuals, they are pretty.cool, buy the stream of short phrases with filling space cut out feels like a Fireship video and I had trouble following it.

Most needed video right now for me ❤

The biggest reason I still use Echo, is for the middlewares they have available, especially for security, i don't need to write them or search for third party middlewares one by one I'm new to Golang, maybe there is a good pkg that handles all the security things i need, especially when using HTMX, security is very important since it's server side sending html

Thanks @dreamsofcode for the video, really well explained! I actually managed to translate my whole go chi project into stdlib upon updating to 1.22 with the help of your video! One thing that caught my eye was during the demonstration of sub-routing, the v1 mux was initialized, but then the http.Server definition below still receives router as the Handler, instead of the v1 router. This did not work for me. I am either misunderstanding how this works, or there might be something unclear/incorrect in the video. Note that I am new to Go net/http. Would appreciate your feedback on this, so we can make it clearer for everyone!

Thank you for the feedback! It's tough to balance between keeping it engaging and concise whilst also ensuring it's understandable. I'll aim to do better in future;

Basically, you wrote your own framework. Behind the scenes, 3rd party libraries do the same thing that you said maybe more efficient in terms of complexity. I check real world benchmarks, crud operations, caching, https routing etc before I start a project. I didn't care this before, but when we receive the invoice from AWS, we can easily see it matters and worth it. You can handle thousand of operations in a small vps with go. It is impossible to handle same operations with JS(express or koi) under the same conditions.

It seems a bit odd to download a private key… I'd rather generate one locally and request it to be signed. But then again, the goal here is simplicity I guess.

I'm having a problem with the subrouting 10:45 The problem is that you cannot POST to "/" under the subrouter when you strip the prefix. The other routes work because there is no trailing slash, but suppose you want to POST to /v1 itself, there is no way to set up that route as far as I know. You can only set up /v1/ which is different, so http issues a redirect.

Should a new router be run in the main gorutine or should it be run in a separate gorutine for max performance?

Great question! This is so that the first element in the array acts as the top of the stack. The middleware isn't necessarily calling the next handler, more like wrapping each middleware inside. i.e. [a,b,c] needs to be a(b(c)) so it's easier to wrap it with a reverse iterator

I think it depends what you're looking for.
