SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust and organized way to define HTTP routes, apply middleware, and handle requests and responses in Go applications using the Chi router.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • REST API Routing: Define clear endpoints for various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
  • Middleware Integration: Apply global, group, or route-specific middleware for concerns like authentication, logging, and rate limiting.
  • Context Management: Utilize request context for passing data between middleware and handlers.
  • Use Case: Build a secure and scalable backend API for a web application, handling user authentication, resource management, and data validation.

Quick Start

Use the chi-router skill to set up a new Go HTTP server with JWT authentication and CORS enabled.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Go HTTP router with middleware for a REST API?▼

You can define Go HTTP routes and apply middleware using the Chi v5 router. It allows you to structure REST API endpoints for methods like GET and POST while applying global or route-specific middleware for authentication and logging.

Can I implement JWT authentication and CORS in a Go backend using Chi?▼

Yes, Chi v5 supports integrating JWT authentication and CORS middleware. You can apply these middlewares globally or to specific route groups to secure your Go HTTP backend API.

What is the best way to manage request context between middleware and handlers in Go?▼

Using the Chi router, you can utilize standard Go request context management to pass data between middleware and HTTP handlers. This allows structured resource context management throughout your API request lifecycle.

How do I apply rate limiting to specific routes in a Go API?▼

Chi v5 allows you to apply rate limiting middleware to specific routes or route groups in your Go API. This helps control traffic flow and protect backend endpoints from excessive requests.

Does the Chi router require external dependencies for standard Go HTTP server setup?▼

Chi v5 utilizes standard Go libraries alongside its own router and middleware packages. It requires no additional external dependencies to set up a structured Go HTTP server with basic routing and context management.

When should I use route groups instead of individual routes in a Go HTTP API?▼

You should use route groups in Chi when applying shared middleware, like authentication or rate limiting, to a subset of endpoints. This organizes your Go HTTP API structure and prevents repeating middleware definitions on individual routes.
