chi.go

//
// Package chi is a small, idiomatic and composable router for building HTTP services.
//
// chi requires Go 1.10 or newer.
//
// Example:
//  package main
//
//  import (
//  	"net/http"
//
//  	"github.com/go-chi/chi"
//  	"github.com/go-chi/chi/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/*/index" also matches "/page/intro/latest"
//  "/date/{yyyy:\\d\\d\\d\\d}/{mm:\\d\\d}/{dd:\\d\\d}" matches "/date/2017/04/01"
//
