gorilla/mux

Package gorilla/mux implements a request router and dispatcher for matching incoming requests to their respective handler.

Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers:

Here we register three routes mapping URL paths to handlers. This is equivalent to how http.HandleFunc() works: if an incoming request URL matches one of the paths, the corresponding handler is called passing (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request) as parameters.

Paths can have variables. They are defined using the format {name} or {name:pattern}. If a regular expression pattern is not defined, the matched variable will be anything until the next slash. For example:

The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling mux.Vars():

And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below.
