🎣 Hooks

With Fiber you can execute custom user functions at specific method execution points. Here is a list of these hooks:

Constants​

// Handlers define functions to create hooks for Fiber.
type OnRouteHandler = func(Route) error
type OnNameHandler = OnRouteHandler
type OnGroupHandler = func(Group) error
type OnGroupNameHandler = OnGroupHandler
type OnListenHandler = func(ListenData) error
type OnForkHandler = func(int) error
type OnShutdownHandler = func() error
type OnMountHandler = func(*App) error

OnRoute​

OnRoute is a hook to execute user functions on each route registration. You can access route properties via the route parameter.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnRoute(handler ...OnRouteHandler)

OnName​

OnName is a hook to execute user functions on each route naming. You can access route properties via the route parameter.

caution

OnName only works with named routes, not groups.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnName(handler ...OnNameHandler)
package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
)

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

    app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.SendString(c.Route().Name)
    }).Name("index")

    app.Hooks().OnName(func(r fiber.Route) error {
        fmt.Print("Name: " + r.Name + ", ")
        return nil
    })

    app.Hooks().OnName(func(r fiber.Route) error {
        fmt.Print("Method: " + r.Method + "\n")
        return nil
    })

    app.Get("/add/user", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.SendString(c.Route().Name)
    }).Name("addUser")

    app.Delete("/destroy/user", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
        return c.SendString(c.Route().Name)
    }).Name("destroyUser")

    app.Listen(":5000")
}

// Results:
// Name: addUser, Method: GET
// Name: destroyUser, Method: DELETE

OnGroup​

OnGroup is a hook to execute user functions on each group registration. You can access group properties via the group parameter.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnGroup(handler ...OnGroupHandler)

OnGroupName​

OnGroupName is a hook to execute user functions on each group naming. You can access group properties via the group parameter.

caution

OnGroupName only works with named groups, not routes.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnGroupName(handler ...OnGroupNameHandler)

OnListen​

OnListen is a hook to execute user functions on Listen, ListenTLS, and Listener.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnListen(handler ...OnListenHandler)
package main

import (
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/log"
)

func main() {
    app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
        DisableStartupMessage: true,
    })

    app.Hooks().OnListen(func(listenData fiber.ListenData) error {
        if fiber.IsChild() {
            return nil
        }
        scheme := "http"
        if listenData.TLS {
            scheme = "https"
        }
        log.Println(scheme + "://" + listenData.Host + ":" + listenData.Port)
        return nil
    })

    app.Listen(":5000")
}

OnFork​

OnFork is a hook to execute user functions on fork.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnFork(handler ...OnForkHandler)

OnShutdown​

OnShutdown is a hook to execute user functions after shutdown.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnShutdown(handler ...OnShutdownHandler)

OnMount​

OnMount is a hook to execute user functions after the mounting process. The mount event is fired when a sub-app is mounted on a parent app. The parent app is passed as a parameter. It works for both app and group mounting.

Signature
func (h *Hooks) OnMount(handler ...OnMountHandler)
package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
)

func main() {
    app := fiber.New()
    app.Get("/", testSimpleHandler).Name("x")

    subApp := fiber.New()
    subApp.Get("/test", testSimpleHandler)

    subApp.Hooks().OnMount(func(parent *fiber.App) error {
        fmt.Print("Mount path of parent app: " + parent.MountPath())
        // Additional custom logic...
        return nil
    })

    app.Mount("/sub", subApp)
}

func testSimpleHandler(c fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.SendString("Hello, Fiber!")
}

// Result:
// Mount path of parent app: /sub
caution

OnName/OnRoute/OnGroup/OnGroupName hooks are mount-sensitive. If you use one of these routes on sub app, and you mount it; paths of routes and groups will start with mount prefix.
