Adaptor

The adaptor package converts between Fiber and net/http, letting you reuse handlers, middleware, and requests across both frameworks.

Features

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

Usage Examples

1. Using net/http handlers in Fiber

This example shows how to run a standard net/http handler within a Fiber app:

package main

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

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

// Convert an 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 run inside 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 an 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 use Fiber handlers from net/http:

package main

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

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

// Convert a Fiber handler to an 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 a Fiber context (fiber.Ctx) to http.Request

To access an http.Request within 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 lets Fiber and net/http interoperate so you can:

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

This makes it straightforward to integrate Fiber with existing Go projects or migrate between frameworks.
