🧠 Ctx

Accepts​

Checks, if the specified extensions or content types are acceptable.

info

Based on the request’s Accept HTTP header.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Accepts(offers ...string)          string
func (c *Ctx) AcceptsCharsets(offers ...string) string
func (c *Ctx) AcceptsEncodings(offers ...string) string
func (c *Ctx) AcceptsLanguages(offers ...string) string
Example
// Accept: text/html, application/json; q=0.8, text/plain; q=0.5; charset="utf-8"

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Accepts("html") // "html"
c.Accepts("text/html") // "text/html"
c.Accepts("json", "text") // "json"
c.Accepts("application/json") // "application/json"
c.Accepts("text/plain", "application/json") // "application/json", due to quality
c.Accepts("image/png") // ""
c.Accepts("png") // ""
// ...
})
Example 2
// Accept: text/html, text/*, application/json, */*; q=0

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Accepts("text/plain", "application/json") // "application/json", due to specificity
c.Accepts("application/json", "text/html") // "text/html", due to first match
c.Accepts("image/png") // "", due to */* without q factor 0 is Not Acceptable
// ...
})

Media-Type parameters are supported.

Example 3
// Accept: text/plain, application/json; version=1; foo=bar

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Extra parameters in the accept are ignored
c.Accepts("text/plain;format=flowed") // "text/plain;format=flowed"

// An offer must contain all parameters present in the Accept type
c.Accepts("application/json") // ""

// Parameter order and capitalization does not matter. Quotes on values are stripped.
c.Accepts(`application/json;foo="bar";VERSION=1`) // "application/json;foo="bar";VERSION=1"
})
Example 4
// Accept: text/plain;format=flowed;q=0.9, text/plain
// i.e., "I prefer text/plain;format=flowed less than other forms of text/plain"
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Beware: the order in which offers are listed matters.
// Although the client specified they prefer not to receive format=flowed,
// the text/plain Accept matches with "text/plain;format=flowed" first, so it is returned.
c.Accepts("text/plain;format=flowed", "text/plain") // "text/plain;format=flowed"

// Here, things behave as expected:
c.Accepts("text/plain", "text/plain;format=flowed") // "text/plain"
})

Fiber provides similar functions for the other accept headers.

// Accept-Charset: utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.2
// Accept-Encoding: gzip, compress;q=0.2
// Accept-Language: en;q=0.8, nl, ru

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.AcceptsCharsets("utf-16", "iso-8859-1")

app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Get raw body from POST request:
return c.Send(c.BodyRaw()) // []byte("user=john")
})

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.
Make copies or use the
Immutable setting instead. Read more...

Body​

As per the header Content-Encoding, this method will try to perform a file decompression from the body bytes. In case no Content-Encoding header is sent, it will perform as BodyRaw.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Body() []byte

return c.Send(c.Body()) // []byte("user=john")
})

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.
Make copies or use the
Immutable setting instead. Read more...

BodyParser​

Binds the request body to a struct.

It is important to specify the correct struct tag based on the content type to be parsed. For example, if you want to parse a JSON body with a field called Pass, you would use a struct field of json:"pass".

content-typestruct tag
application/x-www-form-urlencodedform
multipart/form-dataform
application/jsonjson
application/xmlxml
text/xmlxml
Signature
func (c *Ctx) BodyParser(out interface{}) error
Example
// Field names should start with an uppercase letter
type Person struct {
Name string `json:"name" xml:"name" form:"name"`
Pass string `json:"pass" xml:"pass" form:"pass"`
}

app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
p := new(Person)

if err := c.BodyParser(p); err != nil {
return err
}

log.Println(p.Name) // john
log.Println(p.Pass) // doe

// ...
})

// Run tests with the following curl commands

// curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{\"name\":\"john\",\"pass\":\"doe\"}" localhost:3000

// curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --data "<login><name>john</name><pass>doe</pass></login>" localhost:3000

// curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data "name=john&pass=doe" localhost:3000

// curl -X POST -F name=john -F pass=doe http://localhost:3000

// curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/?name=john&pass=doe"

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.

Immutable setting instead. Read more...

ClearCookie​

Expire a client cookie (or all cookies if left empty)

Signature
func (c *Ctx) ClearCookie(key ...string)
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Clears all cookies:
c.ClearCookie()

// Expire specific cookie by name:
c.ClearCookie("user")

// Expire multiple cookies by names:
c.ClearCookie("token", "session", "track_id", "version")
// ...
})
caution

Web browsers and other compliant clients will only clear the cookie if the given options are identical to those when creating the cookie, excluding expires and maxAge. ClearCookie will not set these values for you - a technique similar to the one shown below should be used to ensure your cookie is deleted.

Example
app.Get("/set", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Cookie(&fiber.Cookie{
Name: "token",
Value: "randomvalue",
Expires: time.Now().Add(24 * time.Hour),
HTTPOnly: true,
SameSite: "lax",
})

// ...
})

app.Get("/delete", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Cookie(&fiber.Cookie{
Name: "token",
// Set expiry date to the past
Expires: time.Now().Add(-(time.Hour * 2)),
HTTPOnly: true,
SameSite: "lax",
})

// ...
})

ClientHelloInfo​

ClientHelloInfo contains information from a ClientHello message in order to guide application logic in the GetCertificate and GetConfigForClient callbacks. You can refer to the ClientHelloInfo struct documentation for more information on the returned struct.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) ClientHelloInfo() *tls.ClientHelloInfo
Example
// GET http://example.com/hello
app.Get("/hello", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
chi := c.ClientHelloInfo()
// ...
})

Context​

Returns *fasthttp.RequestCtx that is compatible with the context.Context interface that requires a deadline, a cancellation signal, and other values across API boundaries.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Context() *fasthttp.RequestCtx
info

Please read the Fasthttp Documentation for more information.

Set cookie

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Cookie(cookie *Cookie)
type Cookie struct {
Name string `json:"name"`

Expires time.Time `json:"expires"`
Secure bool `json:"secure"`
HTTPOnly bool `json:"http_only"`
SameSite string `json:"same_site"`
SessionOnly bool `json:"session_only"`
}
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Create cookie
cookie := new(fiber.Cookie)
cookie.Name = "john"
cookie.Value = "doe"
cookie.Expires = time.Now().Add(24 * time.Hour)

// Set cookie
c.Cookie(cookie)
// ...
})

CookieParser​

This method is similar to BodyParser, but for cookie parameters. It is important to use the struct tag "cookie". For example, if you want to parse a cookie with a field called Age, you would use a struct field of cookie:"age".

Signature
func (c *Ctx) CookieParser(out interface{}) error
Example
// Field names should start with an uppercase letter
type Person struct {
Name string `cookie:"name"`
Age int `cookie:"age"`
Job bool `cookie:"job"`
}

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
p := new(Person)

if err := c.CookieParser(p); err != nil {
return err
}

log.Println(p.Name) // Joseph
log.Println(p.Age) // 23
log.Println(p.Job) // true
})
// Run tests with the following curl command
// curl.exe --cookie "name=Joseph; age=23; job=true" http://localhost:8000/

Cookies​

Get cookie value by key, you could pass an optional default value that will be returned if the cookie key does not exist.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Cookies(key string, defaultValue ...string) string
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Get cookie by key:
c.Cookies("name") // "john"
c.Cookies("empty", "doe") // "doe"
// ...
})

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.
Make copies or use the
Immutable setting instead. Read more...

Download​

Transfers the file from path as an attachment.

Typically, browsers will prompt the user to download. By default, the Content-Disposition header filename= parameter is the file path (this typically appears in the browser dialog).

Override this default with the filename parameter.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Download(file string, filename ...string) error
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Download("./files/report-12345.pdf");
// => Download report-12345.pdf

return c.Download("./files/report-12345.pdf", "report.pdf");
// => Download report.pdf
})

Format​

Performs content-negotiation on the Accept HTTP header. It uses Accepts to select a proper format.

info

If the header is not specified or there is no proper format, text/plain is used.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Format(body interface{}) error
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Accept: text/plain
c.Format("Hello, World!")
// => Hello, World!

// Accept: text/html
c.Format("Hello, World!")
// => <p>Hello, World!</p>

// Accept: application/json
c.Format("Hello, World!")
// => "Hello, World!"
// ..
})

FormFile​

MultipartForm files can be retrieved by name, the first file from the given key is returned.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) FormFile(key string) (*multipart.FileHeader, error)
Example
app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Get first file from form field "document":
file, err := c.FormFile("document")

// Save file to root directory:
return c.SaveFile(file, fmt.Sprintf("./%s", file.Filename))
})

FormValue​

Any form values can be retrieved by name, the first value from the given key is returned.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) FormValue(key string, defaultValue ...string) string
Example
app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Get first value from form field "name":
c.FormValue("name")
// => "john" or "" if not exist

// ..
})

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.
Make copies or use the
Immutable setting instead. Read more...

Fresh​

When the response is still fresh in the client's cache true is returned, otherwise false is returned to indicate that the client cache is now stale and the full response should be sent.

When a client sends the Cache-Control: no-cache request header to indicate an end-to-end reload request, Fresh will return false to make handling these requests transparent.

Read more on https://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#req.fresh

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Fresh() bool

Get​

Immutable setting instead. Read more...

IP​

Returns the remote IP address of the request.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) IP() string
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.IP() // "127.0.0.1"

ProxyHeader: fiber.HeaderXForwardedFor,
})

IPs​

Returns an array of IP addresses specified in the X-Forwarded-For request header.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) IPs() []string
Example
// X-Forwarded-For: proxy1, 127.0.0.1, proxy3

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.IPs() // ["proxy1", "127.0.0.1", "proxy3"]

// ...
})
caution

Improper use of the X-Forwarded-For header can be a security risk. For details, see the Security and privacy concerns section.

// If request came from localhost, return true else return false
c.IsFromLocal()

// ...
})

JSON​

Converts any interface or string to JSON using the encoding/json package.

info

JSON also sets the content header to the ctype parameter. If no ctype is passed in, the header is set to application/json.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) JSON(data interface{}, ctype ...string) error
Example
type SomeStruct struct {
Name string
Age uint8
}

app.Get("/json", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Create data struct:
data := SomeStruct{
Name: "Grame",
Age: 20,
}

return c.JSON(data)
// => Content-Type: application/json
// => "{"Name": "Grame", "Age": 20}"

return c.JSON(fiber.Map{
"name": "Grame",
"age": 20,
})
// => Content-Type: application/json
// => "{"name": "Grame", "age": 20}"

return c.JSON(fiber.Map{
"type": "https://example.com/probs/out-of-credit",
"title": "You do not have enough credit.",
"status": 403,
"detail": "Your current balance is 30, but that costs 50.",
"instance": "/account/12345/msgs/abc",
}, "application/problem+json")
// => Content-Type: application/problem+json
// => "{
// => "type": "https://example.com/probs/out-of-credit",
// => "title": "You do not have enough credit.",
// => "status": 403,
// => "detail": "Your current balance is 30, but that costs 50.",
// => "instance": "/account/12345/msgs/abc",
// => }"
})

JSONP​

Sends a JSON response with JSONP support. This method is identical to JSON, except that it opts-in to JSONP callback support. By default, the callback name is simply callback.

Override this by passing a named string in the method.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) JSONP(data interface{}, callback ...string) error
Example
type SomeStruct struct {
name string
age uint8
}

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Create data struct:
data := SomeStruct{
name: "Grame",
age: 20,
}

return c.JSONP(data)
// => callback({"name": "Grame", "age": 20})

return c.JSONP(data, "customFunc")
// => customFunc({"name": "Grame", "age": 20})
})

Joins the links followed by the property to populate the response’s Link HTTP header field.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Links(link ...string)
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Links(
"http://api.example.com/users?page=2", "next",
"http://api.example.com/users?page=5", "last",
)
// Link: <http://api.example.com/users?page=2>; rel="next",
// <http://api.example.com/users?page=5>; rel="last"

// ...
})

Locals​

A method that stores variables scoped to the request and, therefore, are available only to the routes that match the request. The stored variables are removed after the request is handled. If any of the stored data implements the io.Closer interface, its Close method will be called before it's removed.

tip

This is useful if you want to pass some specific data to the next middleware. Remember to perform type assertions when retrieving the data to ensure it is of the expected type. You can also use a non-exported type as a key to avoid collisions.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Locals(key interface{}, value ...interface{}) interface{}
Example
type keyType struct{}
var userKey keyType

app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Locals(userKey, "admin") // Stores the string "admin" under a non-exported type key
return c.Next()
})

app.Get("/admin", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
user, ok := c.Locals(userKey).(string) // Retrieves the data stored under the key and performs a type assertion
if ok && user == "admin" {
return c.Status(fiber.StatusOK).SendString("Welcome, admin!")
}
return c.SendStatus(fiber.StatusForbidden)
})

Location​

Sets the response Location HTTP header to the specified path parameter.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Location(path string)
Example
app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Location("http://example.com")

c.Location("/foo/bar")

return nil
})

Method​

Returns a string corresponding to the HTTP method of the request: GET, POST, PUT, and so on.
Optionally, you could override the method by passing a string.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Method(override ...string) string
Example
app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Method() // "POST"

c.Method("GET")
c.Method() // GET

// ...
})

MultipartForm​

To access multipart form entries, you can parse the binary with MultipartForm(). This returns a map[string][]string, so given a key, the value will be a string slice.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) MultipartForm() (*multipart.Form, error)
Example
app.Post("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
// Parse the multipart form:
if form, err := c.MultipartForm(); err == nil {
// => *multipart.Form

if token := form.Value["token"]; len(token) > 0 {
// Get key value:
fmt.Println(token[0])
}

// Get all files from "documents" key:
files := form.File["documents"]
// => []*multipart.FileHeader

// Loop through files:
for _, file := range files {
fmt.Println(file.Filename, file.Size, file.Header["Content-Type"][0])
// => "tutorial.pdf" 360641 "application/pdf"

// Save the files to disk:
if err := c.SaveFile(file, fmt.Sprintf("./%s", file.Filename)); err != nil {
return err
}
}
}

return err
})

Next​

When Next is called, it executes the next method in the stack that matches the current route. You can pass an error struct within the method that will end the chaining and call the error handler.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Next() error
Example
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("1st route!")
return c.Next()
})

app.Get("*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("2nd route!")
return c.Next()
})

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("3rd route!")
return c.SendString("Hello, World!")
})

OriginalURL​

Returns the original request URL.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) OriginalURL() string
Example
// GET http://example.com/search?q=something

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.OriginalURL() // "/search?q=something"

// ...
})

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.
Make copies or use the
Immutable setting instead. Read more...

Params​

Method can be used to get the route parameters, you could pass an optional default value that will be returned if the param key does not exist.

info

Defaults to empty string (""), if the param doesn't exist.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) Params(key string, defaultValue ...string) string
Example
// GET http://example.com/user/fenny
app.Get("/user/:name", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Params("name") // "fenny"

// ...
})

// GET http://example.com/user/fenny/123
app.Get("/user/*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Params("*") // "fenny/123"
c.Params("*1") // "fenny/123"

// ...
})

Unnamed route parameters(*, +) can be fetched by the character and the counter in the route.

Example
// ROUTE: /v1/*/shop/*
// GET: /v1/brand/4/shop/blue/xs
c.Params("*1") // "brand/4"
c.Params("*2") // "blue/xs"

For reasons of downward compatibility, the first parameter segment for the parameter character can also be accessed without the counter.

Example
app.Get("/v1/*/shop/*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
c.Params("*") // outputs the values of the first wildcard segment
})

Returned value is only valid within the handler. Do not store any references.
Make copies or use the
Immutable setting instead. Read more...

ParamsInt​

Method can be used to get an integer from the route parameters. Please note if that parameter is not in the request, zero will be returned. If the parameter is NOT a number, zero and an error will be returned

info

Defaults to the integer zero (0), if the param doesn't exist.

c.ParamsParser(&param) // "{"id": 111}"

// ...
})

This may be helpful after overriding the path, i. e. an internal redirect. Note that handlers might be executed again which could result in an infinite loop.

Signature
func (c *Ctx) RestartRouting() error
Example
app.Get("/new", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {

fmt.Println(r.Method, r.Path, r.Params, r.Handlers)
// GET /hello/:name handler [name]

// ...
})
caution

Do not rely on c.Route() in middlewares before calling c.Next() - c.Route() returns the last executed route.

Example
func MyMiddleware() fiber.Handler {
return func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
beforeNext := c.Route().Path // Will be '/'
err := c.Next()
afterNext := c.Route().Path // Will be '/hello/:name'
return err
}
}

files := form.File["documents"]
// => []*multipart.FileHeader

// Loop through files:
for _, file := range files {
fmt.Println(file.Filename, file.Size, file.Header["Content-Type"][0])
// => "tutorial.pdf" 360641 "application/pdf"

// Save the files to disk:
if err := c.SaveFile(file, fmt.Sprintf("./%s", file.Filename)); err != nil {
return err
}
}
return err
}
})

SaveFileToStorage​

files := form.File["documents"]
// => []*multipart.FileHeader

// Loop through files:
for _, file := range files {
fmt.Println(file.Filename, file.Size, file.Header["Content-Type"][0])
// => "tutorial.pdf" 360641 "application/pdf"

// Save the files to storage:
