Cake is a tasty turn-key API toolkit for Go. Cake takes care of the boring stuff and lets you focus on your business logic. You can finally have your cake and eat it to.

🍰 Let's bake

Getting started with Cake is fast, and it gives your all the tools you need to create a sweet API:

package main

import (
	"github.com/arivictor/cake"
	"net/http"
)

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

	app.Route(http.MethodGet, "/:name", Handler)

	app.Run("localhost", 8080)
}

func Handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	name := cake.URLParam(r, "name", "there")
	cake.Send(w, "Hi "+name+"!")
}

Middleware Support

Cake comes boxed with common middleware to get you started. You can load middleware per route or at the global scope.

package main

import (
	"github.com/arivictor/cake"
	"github.com/arivictor/cake/middleware"
	"net/http"
)

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

	// Global middleware
	app.Use(middleware.CORS)

	// Route scoped middleware
	app.Route(http.MethodGet, "/:name", app.WrapRoute(Handler, middleware.LogRequest))

	app.Run("localhost", 8080)
}

func Handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	name := cake.URLParam(r, "name", "there")
	cake.Send(w, "Hi "+name+"!")
}

You can provide your own by using the below signature

package myapp

import "net/http"

func ExampleMiddleware(next http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
    return func (w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		// Do stuff here
		
        next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
    }
}

^ No preservatives, no added colours, just delicious routing...
