Rewrite

The Rewrite middleware remaps the request path using custom rules, helping with backward compatibility and cleaner URLs.

Signatures

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

Config

Property	Type	Description	Default
Next	func(fiber.Ctx) bool	Skip when function returns true.	nil
Rules	map[string]string	Map paths to new values; use $1, $2 for wildcard captures.	(Required)

note

Rules are stored in a map, so iteration order is undefined. Avoid overlapping patterns if precedence matters.

Examples

package main

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

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

    app.Use(rewrite.New(rewrite.Config{
      Rules: map[string]string{
        "/old":   "/new",
        "/old/*": "/new/$1",
      },
    }))

    app.Get("/new", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
      return c.SendString("Hello, World!")
    })
    app.Get("/new/*", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
      return c.SendString("Wildcard: " + c.Params("*"))
    })

    app.Listen(":3000")
}
