Alox is

A collection of helper functions, decorators and other utilities aiming to further ease building (particularly rest API and web) servers with Go’s http stdlib.

Install with Go

go get -u alox.sh

Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"

    "alox.sh/server"
)

const addr = ":8080"

func main() {
    api := server.NewAPI(func(api *server.API, responseWriter http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request) {
        api.MarshalAndWriteJSON(responseWriter, request, map[string]string{
            "method": request.Method,
            "path": request.URL.Path,
        })
    })

    fmt.Printf("Listening on %s\n", addr)
    http.ListenAndServe(addr, appServer)
}

Fork on GitHub

1. Fork the repository on GitHub
   Fork on GitHub
2. In order for you to be able to install your new fork, you’ll have to change the package name to reflect the new name. This package is being served under custom domain, but unless you’re not too lazy to setup domain and a web server, your new package name new will likely look something like this: github.com/<USERNAME>/<FORK_NAME>.
   To ease this task you can use a prepared script scripts/rename-package.sh which takes your new package name as an only argument:

    scripts/rename-package.sh github.com/j.doe/alox-but-better
