Go HTTP Middleware Chain
Composable middleware pattern for logging, auth, and CORS in Go.
package main
import (
"log"
"net/http"
"time"
)
type Middleware func(http.Handler) http.Handler
func Chain(h http.Handler, middlewares ...Middleware) http.Handler {
for i := len(middlewares) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
h = middlewares[i](h)
}
return h
}
func Logger(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
start := time.Now()
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
log.Printf("%s %s %v", r.Method, r.URL.Path, time.Since(start))
})
}
func CORS(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS")
if r.Method == http.MethodOptions {
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusNoContent)
return
}
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
func RequireAuth(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
token := r.Header.Get("Authorization")
if token == "" {
http.Error(w, "unauthorized", http.StatusUnauthorized)
return
}
next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
})
}
func main() {
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/api/data", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte(`{"ok":true}`))
})
handler := Chain(mux, Logger, CORS, RequireAuth)
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", handler)
