Adaptor

The adaptor package provides utilities for converting between Fiber and net/http. It allows seamless integration of net/http handlers, middleware, and requests into Fiber applications, and vice versa.

Features

  • Convert net/http handlers and middleware to Fiber handlers.
  • Convert Fiber handlers to net/http handlers.
  • Convert Fiber context (fiber.Ctx) into an http.Request.

Usage Examples

1. Using net/http Handlers in Fiber

This example demonstrates how to use standard net/http handlers inside a Fiber application:

package main

import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/adaptor"
)

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

// Convert a http.Handler to a Fiber handler
app.Get("/", adaptor.HTTPHandler(http.HandlerFunc(helloHandler)))

app.Listen(":3000")
}

func helloHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprint(w, "Hello from net/http!")
}

2. Using net/http Middleware with Fiber

Middleware written for net/http can be used in Fiber:

package main

import (
"log"
"net/http"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/adaptor"
)

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

// Apply a http middleware in Fiber
app.Use(adaptor.HTTPMiddleware(loggingMiddleware))

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

app.Listen(":3000")
}

func loggingMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
log.Println("Request received")
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}

3. Using Fiber Handlers in net/http

You can embed Fiber handlers inside net/http:

package main

import (
"net/http"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/adaptor"
)

func main() {
// Convert Fiber handler to an http.Handler
http.Handle("/", adaptor.FiberHandler(helloFiber))

// Convert Fiber handler to http.HandlerFunc
http.HandleFunc("/func", adaptor.FiberHandlerFunc(helloFiber))

http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}

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

4. Running a Fiber App in net/http

You can wrap a full Fiber app inside net/http:

package main

import (
"net/http"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/adaptor"
)

func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("Hello from Fiber!")
})

// Run Fiber inside an http server
http.ListenAndServe(":3000", adaptor.FiberApp(app))
}

5. Converting Fiber Context (fiber.Ctx) to http.Request

If you need to use a http.Request inside a Fiber handler:

package main

import (
"net/http"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/adaptor"
)

func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/request", handleRequest)
app.Listen(":3000")
}

func handleRequest(c fiber.Ctx) error {
httpReq, err := adaptor.ConvertRequest(c, false)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return c.SendString("Converted Request URL: " + httpReq.URL.String())
}

Summary

The adaptor package allows easy interoperation between Fiber and net/http. You can:

  • Convert handlers and middleware in both directions.
  • Run Fiber apps inside net/http.
  • Convert fiber.Ctx to http.Request.

This makes it simple to integrate Fiber with existing Go projects or migrate between frameworks as needed.
