Installing

Assuming you’ve already installed Go, install the Fiber package by calling the following command:

$ go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber

Hello world

Embedded below is essentially the simplest Fiber app you can create.

$ create server.go

package main

import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()
  app.Get("/:name", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.Send("Hello, " + c.Params("name") + "!")
  })
  app.Listen(8080)
}

$ go run server.go

Browse to http://localhost:8080 and you should see Hello, World! on the page.

Static files

To serve static files, use the Static method.

package main

import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()
  app.Static("./public")
  app.Listen(8080)
}

Now, you can load the files that are in the public directory:

http://localhost:8080/images/gopher.png
http://localhost:8080/css/style.css
http://localhost:8080/js/jquery.js
http://localhost:8080/hello.html

Middleware

Middleware has never been so easy, just like express you call the Next() matching route function!

package main

import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"

func main() {
  app := fiber.New()
  app.Get("/api*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    c.Locals("auth", "admin")
    c.Next()
  })
  app.Get("/api/back-end/:action?", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
    if c.Locals("auth") != "admin" {
      c.Status(403).Send("Forbidden")
      return
    }
    c.Send("Hello, Admin!")
  })
  app.Listen(8080)
}
