chi.go

// Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services.
//
// chi requires Go 1.14 or newer.
//
// Example:
//
//	package main
//
//	import (
//		"net/http"
//
//		"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
//		"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
//	)
//
//	func main() {
//		r := chi.NewRouter()
//		r.Use(middleware.Logger)
//		r.Use(middleware.Recoverer)
//
//		r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
//			w.Write([]byte("root."))
//		})
//
//		http.ListenAndServe(":3333", r)
//	}
//
// See github.com/go-chi/chi/_examples/ for more in-depth examples.
//
// URL patterns allow for easy matching of path components in HTTP
// requests. The matching components can then be accessed using
// chi.URLParam(). All patterns must begin with a slash.
//
// A simple named placeholder {name} matches any sequence of characters
// up to the next / or the end of the URL. Trailing slashes on paths must
// be handled explicitly.
//
// A placeholder with a name followed by a colon allows a regular
// expression match, for example {number:\\d+}. The regular expression
// syntax is Go's normal regexp RE2 syntax, except that regular expressions
// including { or } are not supported, and / will never be
// matched. An anonymous regexp pattern is allowed, using an empty string
// before the colon in the placeholder, such as {:\\d+}
//
// The special placeholder of asterisk matches the rest of the requested
// URL. Any trailing characters in the pattern are ignored. This is the only
// placeholder which will match / characters.
//
// Examples:
//
//	"/user/{name}" matches "/user/jsmith" but not "/user/jsmith/info" or "/user/jsmith/"
//	"/user/{name}/info" matches "/user/jsmith/info"
//	"/page/*" matches "/page/intro/latest"
//	"/page/{other}/index" also matches "/page/intro/latest"
//	"/date/{yyyy:\\d\\d\\d\\d}/{mm:\\d\\d}/{dd:\\d\\d}" matches "/date/2017/04/01"
