Recover

The Recover middleware for Fiber intercepts panics and forwards them to the central ErrorHandler.

Signatures

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package:

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
    recoverer "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/recover"
)

Once your Fiber app is initialized, use the middleware like this:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(recoverer.New())

// Panics in subsequent handlers are caught by the middleware
app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
    panic("I'm an error")
})

Config

Property	Type	Description	Default
Next	func(fiber.Ctx) bool	Skip when the function returns true.	nil
PanicHandler	func(fiber.Ctx, any) error	Customize the error returned from a recovered panic.	DefaultPanicHandler
EnableStackTrace	bool	Capture and include a stack trace in error responses.	false
StackTraceHandler	func(fiber.Ctx, any)	Handle the captured stack trace when enabled.	defaultStackTraceHandler

Default Config

var ConfigDefault = recoverer.Config{
    Next:              nil,
    PanicHandler:      DefaultPanicHandler,
    StackTraceHandler: defaultStackTraceHandler,
    EnableStackTrace:  false,
}

// Set up a PanicHandler to hide internals.
app.Use(recoverer.New(recoverer.Config{PanicHandler: func(c fiber.Ctx, r any) error {
    return fiber.ErrInternalServerError
}}))

// In more elaborate scenarios you can also create a custom error which can be processed differently in the fiber.ErrorHandler.
// See the tests for an example of such an ErrorHandler.
// You could also just wrap the default handler's error, e.g. fmt.Errorf("[RECOVERED]: %w", recoverer.DefaultPanicHandler(c, r))
app.Use(recoverer.New(recoverer.Config{PanicHandler: func(c fiber.Ctx, r any) error {
    return &MyCustomRecoveredFromPanicError {
        Inner: recoverer.DefaultPanicHandler(c, r),
    }
}}))
