About The Project

iqhater/pkg is a small, framework-free Go library with reusable primitives for API services.

It focuses on common infrastructure pieces without adding routers, dependency injection, database layers, or application scaffolding. Use only the packages you need.

Built With

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Install Go and, optionally, Taskfile for local development commands.

• Go
• Taskfile (recommended)
• golangci-lint (optional)

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/iqhater/pkg.git

2. Install Go module dependencies and development tools

   task install

3. Run tests

   task test

4. Run the example server

   task run

(back to top)

Usage

Install the package in your project:

go get github.com/iqhater/pkg

Combine middleware with the standard net/http package:

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"time"

	"github.com/iqhater/pkg/headers"
	"github.com/iqhater/pkg/middleware"
)

func main() {
	cache := middleware.NewCache("10s")

	mid := middleware.Middlewares(
		middleware.Recover,
		middleware.RequestID,
		headers.CORSHeaders(headers.CORSConfig{
			AllowOrigins: []string{"http://localhost:4000"},
			AllowMethods: []string{http.MethodGet, http.MethodPost, http.MethodOptions},
			AllowHeaders: []string{"Accept", "Content-Type", "Authorization"},
		}),
		middleware.Log,
		middleware.Limit(2, 5),
		middleware.ContextTimeout(3*time.Second),
		headers.SecureHeaders,
		middleware.Compress,
		cache.CacheResponse,
		headers.ContentTypeHeaders("application/json"),
	)

	http.HandleFunc("GET /api", middleware.Bind(mid, func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		w.Write([]byte(`{"ok":true}`))
	}))

	http.ListenAndServe(":4000", nil)
}

Examples

Runnable examples are available in the examples package.

go run .\examples\middlewares\main.go

Example package overview:

• middleware — recovery, request IDs, logging, rate limiting, timeouts, caching, and compression.
• headers — CORS, security headers, and content type headers.
• async/workerpool — generic worker pool for concurrent jobs.
• async/eventbus — simple in-process event bus.
• generate — random token generation.

Notes

• CacheResponse caches responses by request URI and only stores successful 200 OK responses.
• Compress prefers Brotli when the client sends Accept-Encoding: br, otherwise it falls back to gzip.
• Compress skips WebSocket upgrade requests.
• ContextTimeout cancels the request context, but handlers must explicitly check r.Context().Done() for long-running work.
• RequestID stores the request ID in request context. Read it from the request passed to the downstream handler.
• Limit is based on req.RemoteAddr, so it is useful for simple per-IP rate limiting.
