🚀 App

Static

Use the Static method to serve static files such as images, CSS, and JavaScript.

info

By default, Static will serve index.html files in response to a request on a directory.

Signature
func (app *App) Static(prefix, root string, config ...Static) Router

Use the following code to serve files in a directory named ./public

app.Static("/", "./public")

// => http://localhost:3000/hello.html
// => http://localhost:3000/js/jquery.js
// => http://localhost:3000/css/style.css
Examples
// Serve files from multiple directories
app.Static("/", "./public")

// Serve files from "./files" directory:
app.Static("/", "./files")

You can use any virtual path prefix (where the path does not actually exist in the file system) for files that are served by the Static method, specify a prefix path for the static directory, as shown below:

Examples
app.Static("/static", "./public")

// => http://localhost:3000/static/hello.html
// => http://localhost:3000/static/js/jquery.js
// => http://localhost:3000/static/css/style.css

If you want to have a little bit more control regarding the settings for serving static files. You could use the fiber.Static struct to enable specific settings.

fiber.Static{}
// Static defines configuration options when defining static assets.
type Static struct {
// When set to true, the server tries minimizing CPU usage by caching compressed files.
// This works differently than the github.com/gofiber/compression middleware.
// Optional. Default value false
Compress bool `json:"compress"`

// When set to true, enables byte range requests.
// Optional. Default value false
ByteRange bool `json:"byte_range"`

// When set to true, enables directory browsing.
// Optional. Default value false.
Browse bool `json:"browse"`

// When set to true, enables direct download.
// Optional. Default value false.
Download bool `json:"download"`

// The name of the index file for serving a directory.
// Optional. Default value "index.html".
Index string `json:"index"`

// Expiration duration for inactive file handlers.
// Use a negative time.Duration to disable it.
//
// Optional. Default value 10 * time.Second.
CacheDuration time.Duration `json:"cache_duration"`

// The value for the Cache-Control HTTP-header
// that is set on the file response. MaxAge is defined in seconds.
//
// Optional. Default value 0.
MaxAge int `json:"max_age"`

// ModifyResponse defines a function that allows you to alter the response.
//
// Optional. Default: nil
ModifyResponse Handler

// Next defines a function to skip this middleware when returned true.
//
// Optional. Default: nil
Next func(c Ctx) bool
}
Example
// Custom config
app.Static("/", "./public", fiber.Static{
Compress: true,
ByteRange: true,
Browse: true,
Index: "john.html",
CacheDuration: 10 * time.Second,
MaxAge: 3600,
})

Route Handlers

Registers a route bound to a specific HTTP method.

Signatures
// HTTP methods
func (app *App) Get(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Head(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Post(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Put(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Delete(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Connect(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Options(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Trace(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
func (app *App) Patch(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router

// Add allows you to specify a method as value
func (app *App) Add(method, path string, handlers ...Handler) Router

// All will register the route on all HTTP methods
// Almost the same as app.Use but not bound to prefixes
func (app *App) All(path string, handlers ...Handler) Router
Examples
// Simple GET handler
app.Get("/api/list", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("I'm a GET request!")
})

// Simple POST handler
app.Post("/api/register", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("I'm a POST request!")
})

Use can be used for middleware packages and prefix catchers. These routes will only match the beginning of each path i.e. /john will match /john/doe, /johnnnnn etc

Signature
func (app *App) Use(args ...any) Router
Examples
// Match any request
app.Use(func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Next()
})

// Match request starting with /api
app.Use("/api", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Next()
})

// Match requests starting with /api or /home (multiple-prefix support)
app.Use([]string{"/api", "/home"}, func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Next()
})

// Attach multiple handlers
app.Use("/api", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Set("X-Custom-Header", random.String(32))
return c.Next()
}, func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Next()
})

Mount

You can Mount Fiber instance by creating a *Mount

Signature
func (a *App) Mount(prefix string, app *App) Router
Examples
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
micro := fiber.New()
app.Mount("/john", micro) // GET /john/doe -> 200 OK

micro.Get("/doe", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendStatus(fiber.StatusOK)
})

log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

MountPath

The MountPath property contains one or more path patterns on which a sub-app was mounted.

Signature
func (app *App) MountPath() string
Examples
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
one := fiber.New()
two := fiber.New()
three := fiber.New()

two.Mount("/three", three)
one.Mount("/two", two)
app.Mount("/one", one)

one.MountPath() // "/one"
two.MountPath() // "/one/two"
three.MountPath() // "/one/two/three"
app.MountPath() // ""
}
caution

Mounting order is important for MountPath. If you want to get mount paths properly, you should start mounting from the deepest app.

Group

You can group routes by creating a *Group struct.

Signature
func (app *App) Group(prefix string, handlers ...Handler) Router
Examples
func main() {
app := fiber.New()

api := app.Group("/api", handler) // /api

v1 := api.Group("/v1", handler) // /api/v1
v1.Get("/list", handler) // /api/v1/list
v1.Get("/user", handler) // /api/v1/user

v2 := api.Group("/v2", handler) // /api/v2
v2.Get("/list", handler) // /api/v2/list
v2.Get("/user", handler) // /api/v2/user

log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

Route

You can define routes with a common prefix inside the common function.

Signature
func (app *App) Route(prefix string, fn func(router Router), name ...string) Router
Examples
func main() {
app := fiber.New()

app.Route("/test", func(api fiber.Router) {
api.Get("/foo", handler).Name("foo") // /test/foo (name: test.foo)
api.Get("/bar", handler).Name("bar") // /test/bar (name: test.bar)
}, "test.")

log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

Server

Server returns the underlying fasthttp server

Signature
func (app *App) Server() *fasthttp.Server
Examples
func main() {
app := fiber.New()

app.Server().MaxConnsPerIP = 1

// ...
}

Server Shutdown

Shutdown gracefully shuts down the server without interrupting any active connections. Shutdown works by first closing all open listeners and then waits indefinitely for all connections to return to idle before shutting down.

ShutdownWithTimeout will forcefully close any active connections after the timeout expires.

ShutdownWithContext shuts down the server including by force if the context's deadline is exceeded.

func (app *App) Shutdown() error
func (app *App) ShutdownWithTimeout(timeout time.Duration) error
func (app *App) ShutdownWithContext(ctx context.Context) error
