package endpoint

import "github.com/go-kit/kit/endpoint"

Package endpoint defines an abstraction for RPCs.

Endpoints are a fundamental building block for many Go kit components. Endpoints are implemented by servers, and called by clients.

Functions ¶

func Nop ¶

func Nop(context.Context, interface{}) (interface{}, error)

Nop is an endpoint that does nothing and returns a nil error. Useful for tests.

Types ¶

type Endpoint ¶

type Endpoint func(ctx context.Context, request interface{}) (response interface{}, err error)

Endpoint is the fundamental building block of servers and clients. It represents a single RPC method.

type Middleware ¶

type Middleware func(Endpoint) Endpoint

Middleware is a chainable behavior modifier for endpoints.

func Chain ¶

func Chain(outer Middleware, others ...Middleware) Middleware

Chain is a helper function for composing middlewares. Requests will traverse them in the order they're declared. That is, the first middleware is treated as the outermost middleware.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/go-kit/kit/endpoint"
)

func main() {
	e := endpoint.Chain(
		annotate("first"),
		annotate("second"),
		annotate("third"),
	)(myEndpoint)

	if _, err := e(ctx, req); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

}

var (
	ctx = context.Background()
	req = struct{}{}
)

func annotate(s string) endpoint.Middleware {
	return func(next endpoint.Endpoint) endpoint.Endpoint {
		return func(ctx context.Context, request interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
			fmt.Println(s, "pre")
			defer fmt.Println(s, "post")
			return next(ctx, request)
		}
	}
}

func myEndpoint(context.Context, interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
	fmt.Println("my endpoint!")
	return struct{}{}, nil
}
