binding
=======

Reflectionless data binding for Go's net/http



Features
---------

- HTTP request data binding
- Data validation (custom and built-in)
- Error handling



Benefits
---------

- Moves data binding, validation, and error handling out of your application's handler
- Reads Content-Type to deserialize form, multipart form, and JSON data from requests
- No middleware: just a function call
- Usable in any setting where `net/http` is present (Negroni, gocraft/web, std lib, etc.)
- No reflection



Usage example
--------------

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/mholt/binding"
)

// First define a type to hold the data
// (If the data comes from JSON, see: http://mholt.github.io/json-to-go)
type ContactForm struct {
	User struct {
		ID int
	}
	Email   string
	Message string
}

// Then provide a field mapping (pointer receiver is vital)
func (cf *ContactForm) FieldMap(req *http.Request) binding.FieldMap {
	return binding.FieldMap{
		&cf.User.ID: "user_id",
		&cf.Email:   "email",
		&cf.Message: binding.Field{
			Form:     "message",
			Required: true,
		},
	}
}

// Now your handlers can stay clean and simple
func handler(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	contactForm := new(ContactForm)
	if errs := binding.Bind(req, contactForm); errs != nil {
		http.Error(resp, errs.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
		return
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(resp, "From:    %d\n", contactForm.User.ID)
	fmt.Fprintf(resp, "Message: %s\n", contactForm.Message)
}

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/contact", handler)
	http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}
```

Multipart/form-data usage example
---------------------------------

```go
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/mholt/binding"
	"io"
	"log"
	"mime/multipart"
	"net/http"
)

// We expect a multipart/form-data upload with
// a file field named 'data'
type MultipartForm struct {
	Data *multipart.FileHeader `json:"data"`
}

func (f *MultipartForm) FieldMap(req *http.Request) binding.FieldMap {
	return binding.FieldMap{
		&f.Data: "data",
	}
}

// Handlers are still clean and simple
func handler(resp http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	multipartForm := new(MultipartForm)
	if errs := binding.Bind(req, multipartForm); errs != nil {
		http.Error(resp, errs.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
		return
	}

	// To access the file data you need to Open the file
	// handler and read the bytes out.
	var fh io.ReadCloser
	var err error
	if fh, err = multipartForm.Data.Open(); err != nil {
		http.Error(resp,
			fmt.Sprint("Error opening Mime::Data %v", err),
			http.StatusInternalServerError)
		return
	}
	defer fh.Close()
	dataBytes := bytes.Buffer{}
	var size int64
	if size, err = dataBytes.ReadFrom(fh); err != nil {
		http.Error(resp,
			fmt.Sprint("Error reading Mime::Data %v", err),
			http.StatusInternalServerError)
		return
	}
	// Now you have the attachment in databytes.
	// Maximum size is default is 10MB.
	log.Printf("Read %v bytes with filename %s",
		size, multipartForm.Data.Filename)
}

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/upload", handler)
	http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}

```

You can test from CLI using the excellent httpie client

   `http -f POST localhost:3000/upload data@myupload`

Custom data validation
-----------------------

You may optionally have your type implement the `binding.Validator` interface to perform your own data validation. The `.Validate()` method is called after the struct is populated.

```go
func (cf ContactForm) Validate(req *http.Request) error {
	if cf.Message == "Go needs generics" {
		return binding.Errors{
			binding.NewError([]string{"message"}, "ComplaintError", "Go has generics. They're called interfaces.")
		}
	}
	return nil
}
```



Binding custom types
---------------------

For types you've defined, you can bind form data to it by implementing the `Binder` interface. Here's a contrived example:


```go
type MyBinder map[string]string

func (t MyBinder) Bind(fieldName string, strVals []string) error {
	t["formData"] = strVals[0]
	return nil
}
```

If you can't add a method to the type, you can still specify a `Binder` func in the field spec. Here's a contrived example that binds an integer (not necessary, but you get the idea):

```go
func (t *MyType) FieldMap(req *http.Request) binding.FieldMap {
	return binding.FieldMap{
		"a-key": binding.Field{
			Form: "number",
			Binder: func(fieldName string, formVals []string) error {
				val, err := strconv.Atoi(formVals[0])
				if err != nil {
					return binding.Errors{binding.NewError([]string{fieldName}, binding.DeserializationError, err.Error())}
				}
				t.SomeNumber = val
				return nil
			},
		},
	}
}
```

The `Errors` type has a convenience method, `Add`, which you can use to append to the slice if you prefer.

Supported types (forms)
------------------------

The following types are supported in form deserialization by default. (JSON requests are delegated to `encoding/json`.)

- uint, \*uint, []uint, uint8, \*uint8, []uint8, uint16, \*uint16, []uint16, uint32, \*uint32, []uint32, uint64, \*uint64, []uint64
- int, \*int, []int, int8, \*int8, []int8, int16, \*int16, []int16, int32, \*int32, []int32, int64, \*int64, []int64
- float32, \*float32, []float32, float64, \*float64, []float64
- bool, \*bool, []bool
- string, \*string, []string
- time.Time, \*time.Time, []time.Time
- \*multipart.FileHeader, []\*multipart.FileHeader

# Checker

Checker is a Go library that helps you validate user input. It can be used to validate user input stored in a struct, or to validate individual pieces of input.

There are many validation libraries available, but I prefer to build my own tools and avoid pulling in unnecessary dependencies. That's why I created Checker, a simple validation library with no dependencies. It's easy to use and gets the job done.

## Usage

To get started, install the Checker library with the following command:

```bash
go get github.com/cinar/checker
```

Next, you will need to import the library into your source file. You can do this by following the example below:

```golang
import (
    "github.com/cinar/checker"
)
```

### Validating User Input Stored in a Struct

Checker can be used in two ways. The first way is to validate user input stored in a struct. To do this, you can list the checkers through the struct tag for each field. Here is an example:

```golang
type Person struct {
    Name string `checkers:"required"`
}

person := &Person{}

mistakes, valid := checker.Check(person)
if !valid {
    // Send the mistakes back to the user
}
```

### Validating Individual User Input

If you do not want to validate user input stored in a struct, you can individually call the checker functions to validate the user input. Here is an example:

```golang
var name

result := checker.IsRequired(name)
if result != ResultValid {
    // Send the result back to the user
}
```

## Normalizers and Checkers

Checkers are used to check for problems in user input, while normalizers are used to transform user input into a preferred format. For example, a normalizer could be used to trim spaces from the beginning and end of a string, or to convert a string to title case.

I am not entirely happy with the decision to combine checkers and normalizers into a single library, but using them together can be useful. Normalizers and checkers can be mixed in any order when defining the validation steps for user data. For example, the trim normalizer can be used in conjunction with the required checker to first trim the user input and then check if the user provided the required information. Here is an example:

```golang
type Person struct {
    Name string `checkers:"trim required"`
}
```

# Checkers Provided

This package currently provides the following checkers:

- [alphanumeric](doc/checkers/alphanumeric.md) checks if the given string consists of only alphanumeric characters.
- [ascii](doc/checkers/ascii.md) checks if the given string consists of only ASCII characters.
- [cidr](doc/checkers/cidr.md) checker checks if the value is a valid CIDR notation IP address and prefix length.
- [credit-card](doc/checkers/credit_card.md) checks if the given value is a valid credit card number.
- [digits](doc/checkers/digits.md) checks if the given string consists of only digit characters.
- [email](doc/checkers/email.md) checks if the given string is an email address.
- [fqdn](doc/checkers/fqdn.md) checks if the given string is a fully qualified domain name.
- [ip](doc/checkers/ip.md) checks if the given value is an IP address.
- [ipv4](doc/checkers/ipv4.md) checks if the given value is an IPv4 address.
- [ipv6](doc/checkers/ipv6.md) checks if the given value is an IPv6 address.
- [isbn](doc/checkers/isbn.md) checks if the given value is a valid ISBN number.
- [luhn](doc/checkers/luhn.md) checks if the given number is valid based on the Luhn algorithm.
- [mac](doc/checkers/mac.md) checks if the given value is a valid an IEEE 802 MAC-48, EUI-48, EUI-64, or a 20-octet IP over InfiniBand link-layer address.
- [max](doc/checkers/max.md) checks if the given value is less than the given maximum.
- [max-length](doc/checkers/maxlength.md) checks if the length of the given value is less than the given maximum length.
- [min](doc/checkers/min.md) checks if the given value is greather than the given minimum.
- [min-length](doc/checkers/minlength.md) checks if the length of the given value is greather than the given minimum length.
- [regexp](doc/checkers/regexp.md) checks if the given string matches the regexp pattern.
- [required](doc/checkers/required.md) checks if the required value is provided.
- [same](doc/checkers/same.md) checks if the given value is equal to the value of the field with the given name.
- [url](doc/checkers/url.md) checks if the given value is a valid URL.

# Normalizers Provided

This package currently provides the following normalizers. They can be mixed with the checkers when defining the validation steps for user data.

- [html-escape](doc/normalizers/html_escape.md) applies HTML escaping to special characters.
- [html-unescape](doc/normalizers/html_unescape.md) applies HTML unescaping to special characters.
- [lower](doc/normalizers/lower.md) maps all Unicode letters in the given value to their lower case.
- [upper](doc/normalizers/upper.md) maps all Unicode letters in the given value to their upper case.
- [title](doc/normalizers/title.md) maps the first letter of each word to their upper case.
- [trim](doc/normalizers/trim.md) removes the whitespaces at the beginning and at the end of the given value.
- [trim-left](doc/normalizers/trim_left.md) removes the whitespaces at the beginning of the given value.
- [trim-right](doc/normalizers/trim_right.md) removes the whitespaces at the end of the given value.
- [url-escape](doc/normalizers/url_escape.md) applies URL escaping to special characters.
- [url-unescape](doc/normalizers/url_unescape.md) applies URL unescaping to special characters.

# Custom Checkers

To define a custom checker, you need to create a new function with the following parameters:

```golang
func CustomChecker(value, parent reflect.Value) Result {
    return ResultValid
}
```
type MakeFunc 
You also need to create a make function that takes the checker configuration and returns a reference to the checker function.

```golang
func CustomMaker(params string) CheckFunc {
    return CustomChecker
}
```

Finally, you need to call the ```Register``` function to register your custom checker.

```golang
checker.Register("custom-checker", CustomMaker)
```

Once you have registered your custom checker, you can use it by simply specifying its name.

```golang
type User struct {
    Username string `checkers:"custom-checker"`
}
```

checker

Keeps user input in check. Trims, sanitizes & scrubs data based on struct tags.

# Conform- keep user input in check (go, golang)

Trim, sanitize, and modify struct string fields in place, based on tags.

**Now also works with embedded structs**

Turns this...

``` go
type Person struct {
	FirstName string `conform:"name"`
	LastName  string `conform:"ucfirst,trim"`
	Email     string `conform:"email"`
	CamelCase string `conform:"camel"`
	UserName  string `conform:"snake"`
	Slug      string `conform:"slug"`
	Blurb     string `conform:"title"`
	Left      string `conform:"ltrim"`
	Right     string `conform:"rtrim"`

 	Skills   []string          `conform:"upper"`
	Examples map[string]string `conform:"!html"`
}

p1 := Person{
	" LEE ",
	"     Benson",
	"   LEE@LEEbenson.com  ",
	"I love new york city",
	"lee benson",
	"LeeBensonWasHere",
	"this is a little bit about me...",
	"    Left trim   ",
	"    Right trim  ",
	[]string{"HtmL", "Yaml"},
	map[string]string{"<best>":"<body><p>I know this & that.</p></body>"},
}

```

Into this...

``` go
p2 := p1 // <-- copy the Person struct into a new one, to see the difference
conform.Strings(&p2) // <-- this does the work

/*
	p1 (left) vs. p2 (right)

	FirstName: ' LEE ' -> 'Lee'
	LastName: '     Benson' -> 'Benson'
	Email: '   LEE@LEEbenson.com  ' -> 'lee@leebenson.com'
	CamelCase: 'I love new york city' -> 'ILoveNewYorkCity'
	UserName: 'lee benson' -> 'lee_benson'
	Slug: 'LeeBensonWasHere' -> 'lee-benson-was-here'
	Blurb: 'this is a little bit about me...' -> 'This Is A Little Bit About Me...'
	Left: '    Left trim   ' -> 'Left trim   '
	Right: '    Right trim  ' -> '    Right trim',
	Skills: { 'HtmL', 'Yaml' } -> { 'HTML', 'YAML' },
	Examples: { '<best>': '<body><p>I know this & that.</p></body>' } -> { '<best>': '&lt;body&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know this &amp; that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/body&gt;' }
*/
```
**Note: No map keys are changed.**

## Why?

Conform helps you fix and format user strings quickly, without writing functions.

If you do form processing with [Gorilla Schema](http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/schema) or similar, you probably shuttle user data into structs using tags. Adding a `conform` tag to your string field gives you "first pass" clean up against user input.

Use it for names, e-mail addresses, URL slugs, or any other form field where formatting matters.

Conform doesn't attempt any kind of validation on your fields. Check out [govalidator](https://github.com/asaskevich/govalidator) for a slew of common validation funcs, or [validator](https://github.com/go-playground/validator) which is an uber-flexible Swiss Army knife for validating pretty much any kind of data you can imagine. Both have struct tag syntax and can be used with conform.

## How to use

Grab the package from the command line with:

`go get github.com/leebenson/conform`

And import in the usual way in your Go app:

`import "github.com/leebenson/conform"`

Add a `conform` tag to your structs, for all of the string fields that you want Conform to transform. Add the name of the transform (known as the "tag") in double quotes, and separate multiple tags with commas. Example: `conform:"trim,lowercase"`

To format in place, pass your struct pointer to `conform.Strings`.

**Note: your struct will be edited _in place_. This will OVERWRITE any data that is already stored in your string fields.**

Here's an example that formats e-mail addresses:

``` go
package main

import (
		"fmt"
		"github.com/leebenson/conform"
)

type UserForm struct {
	Email string `conform:"email"`
}

func main() {
	input := UserForm{
		Email: "   POORLYFormaTTED@EXAMPlE.COM  ",
	}
	conform.Strings(&input) // <-- pass in a pointer to your struct
	fmt.Println(input.Email) // prints "poorlyformatted@example.com"
}

```

## Using with Gorilla Schema

Just add a `conform` tag along with your Gorilla `schema` tags:

``` go
// ...

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/gorilla/schema"
	"github.com/leebenson/conform"
)

// the struct that will be filled from the post request...
type newUserForm struct {
	FirstName string    `schema:"firstName" conform:"name"`
	Email     string    `schema:"emailAddress" conform:"email"`
	Password  string    `schema:"password"`    // <-- no tag? no change
	Dob       time.Time `schema:"dateOfBirth"` // <-- non-strings ignored by conform
}

// ProcessNewUser attempts to register a new user
func ProcessNewUser(r *http.Request) error {
	form := new(newUserForm)
	schema.NewDecoder().Decode(form, r.PostForm) // <-- Gorilla Schema
	conform.Strings(form)                       // <-- Conform.  Pass in the same pointer that Schema used
	// ...
}

// HTTP handlers, etc...

```

Package form Decodes url.Values into Go value(s) and Encodes Go value(s) into url.Values.

It has the following features:

- Supports map of almost all types.
- Supports both Numbered and Normal arrays eg. `"Array[0]"` and just `"Array"` with multiple values passed.
- Slice honours the specified index. eg. if "Slice[2]" is the only Slice value passed down, it will be put at index 2; if slice isn't big enough it will be expanded.
- Array honours the specified index. eg. if "Array[2]" is the only Array value passed down, it will be put at index 2; if array isn't big enough a warning will be printed and value ignored.
- Only creates objects as necessary eg. if no `array` or `map` values are passed down, the `array` and `map` are left as their default values in the struct.
- Allows for Custom Type registration.
- Handles time.Time using RFC3339 time format by default, but can easily be changed by registering a Custom Type, see below.
- Handles Encoding & Decoding of almost all Go types eg. can Decode into struct, array, map, int... and Encode a struct, array, map, int...

Common Questions

- Does it support encoding.TextUnmarshaler? No because TextUnmarshaler only accepts []byte but posted values can have multiple values, so is not suitable.
- Mixing `array/slice` with `array[idx]/slice[idx]`, in which order are they parsed? `array/slice` then `array[idx]/slice[idx]`

Supported Types ( out of the box )
----------

* `string`
* `bool`
* `int`, `int8`, `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
* `uint`, `uint8`, `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
* `float32`, `float64`
* `struct` and `anonymous struct`
* `interface{}`
* `time.Time` - by default using RFC3339
* a `pointer` to one of the above types
* `slice`, `array`
* `map`
* `custom types` can override any of the above types
* many other types may be supported inherently

**NOTE**: `map`, `struct` and `slice` nesting are ad infinitum.

Installation
------------

Use go get.

	go get github.com/go-playground/form

Then import the form package into your own code.

	import "github.com/go-playground/form/v4"

Usage
-----

- Use symbol `.` for separating fields/structs. (eg. `structfield.field`)
- Use `[index or key]` for access to index of a slice/array or key for map. (eg. `arrayfield[0]`, `mapfield[keyvalue]`)

```

Examples
-------

Decoding
```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/url"

	"github.com/go-playground/form/v4"
)

// Address contains address information
type Address struct {
	Name  string
	Phone string
}

// User contains user information
type User struct {
	Name        string
	Age         uint8
	Gender      string
	Address     []Address
	Active      bool `form:"active"`
	MapExample  map[string]string
	NestedMap   map[string]map[string]string
	NestedArray [][]string
}

// use a single instance of Decoder, it caches struct info
var decoder *form.Decoder

func main() {
	decoder = form.NewDecoder()

	// this simulates the results of http.Request's ParseForm() function
	values := parseForm()

	var user User

	// must pass a pointer
	err := decoder.Decode(&user, values)
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%#v\n", user)
}

// this simulates the results of http.Request's ParseForm() function
func parseForm() url.Values {
	return url.Values{
		"Name":                []string{"joeybloggs"},
		"Age":                 []string{"3"},
		"Gender":              []string{"Male"},
		"Address[0].Name":     []string{"26 Here Blvd."},
		"Address[0].Phone":    []string{"9(999)999-9999"},
		"Address[1].Name":     []string{"26 There Blvd."},
		"Address[1].Phone":    []string{"1(111)111-1111"},
		"active":              []string{"true"},
		"MapExample[key]":     []string{"value"},
		"NestedMap[key][key]": []string{"value"},
		"NestedArray[0][0]":   []string{"value"},
	}
}
```

Encoding
```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/go-playground/form/v4"
)

// Address contains address information
type Address struct {
	Name  string
	Phone string
}

// User contains user information
type User struct {
	Name        string
	Age         uint8
	Gender      string
	Address     []Address
	Active      bool `form:"active"`
	MapExample  map[string]string
	NestedMap   map[string]map[string]string
	NestedArray [][]string
}

// use a single instance of Encoder, it caches struct info
var encoder *form.Encoder

func main() {
	encoder = form.NewEncoder()

	user := User{
		Name:   "joeybloggs",
		Age:    3,
		Gender: "Male",
		Address: []Address{
			{Name: "26 Here Blvd.", Phone: "9(999)999-9999"},
			{Name: "26 There Blvd.", Phone: "1(111)111-1111"},
		},
		Active:      true,
		MapExample:  map[string]string{"key": "value"},
		NestedMap:   map[string]map[string]string{"key": {"key": "value"}},
		NestedArray: [][]string{{"value"}},
	}

	// must pass a pointer
	values, err := encoder.Encode(&user)
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%#v\n", values)
}
```

Registering Custom Types
--------------

Decoder
```go
decoder.RegisterCustomTypeFunc(func(vals []string) (interface{}, error) {
	return time.Parse("2006-01-02", vals[0])
}, time.Time{})
```
ADDITIONAL: if a struct type is registered, the function will only be called if a url.Value exists for
the struct and not just the struct fields eg. url.Values{"User":"Name%3Djoeybloggs"} will call the
custom type function with 'User' as the type, however url.Values{"User.Name":"joeybloggs"} will not.


Encoder
```go
encoder.RegisterCustomTypeFunc(func(x interface{}) ([]string, error) {
	return []string{x.(time.Time).Format("2006-01-02")}, nil
}, time.Time{})
```

Ignoring Fields
--------------
you can tell form to ignore fields using `-` in the tag
```go
type MyStruct struct {
	Field string `form:"-"`
}
```

Omitempty
--------------
you can tell form to omit empty fields using `,omitempty` or `FieldName,omitempty` in the tag
```go
type MyStruct struct {
	Field  string `form:",omitempty"`
	Field2 string `form:"CustomFieldName,omitempty"`
}
```

Notes
------
To maximize compatibility with other systems the Encoder attempts
to avoid using array indexes in url.Values if at all possible.

eg.
```go
// A struct field of
Field []string{"1", "2", "3"}

// will be output a url.Value as
"Field": []string{"1", "2", "3"}

and not
"Field[0]": []string{"1"}
"Field[1]": []string{"2"}
"Field[2]": []string{"3"}

// however there are times where it is unavoidable, like with pointers
i := int(1)
Field []*string{nil, nil, &i}

// to avoid index 1 and 2 must use index
"Field[2]": []string{"1"}
```

Benchmarks
------
###### Run on M1 MacBook Pro using go version go1.20.6 darwin/amd64

NOTE: the 1 allocation and B/op in the first 4 decodes is actually the struct allocating when passing it in, so primitives are actually zero allocation.

# formam

A Go package to decode HTTP form and query parameters.
The only requirement is [Go 1.12](http://golang.org/doc/go1.12) or later.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/monoculum/formam.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/monoculum/formam)
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/monoculum/formam/v3?status.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/monoculum/formam/v3)

## Install

```
go get github.com/monoculum/formam/v3
```

## Features

- Infinite nesting for `maps`, `structs` and `slices`.
- Support `UnmarshalText()` interface in values and keys of maps.
- Supported `map` keys are `string`, `int` and variants, `uint` and variants, `uintptr`, `float32`, `float64`, `bool`, `struct`, `custom types` to one of the above types registered by function or `UnmarshalText` method, a `pointer` to one of the above types
- A field with `interface{}` that has a `map`, `struct` or `slice` as value is accessible.
- Decode `time.Time` with format `2006-01-02` by its `UnmarshalText()` method.
- Decode `url.URL`.
- Append to `slice` and `array` types without explicitly indicating an index.
- Register a function for a custom type.

## Performance

You can see the performance in [formam-benchmark](https://github.com/monoculum/formam-benchmark) compared with [ajg/form](https://github.com/ajg/form), [gorilla/schema](https://github.com/gorilla/schema), [go-playground/form](https://github.com/go-playground/form) and [built-in/json](http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/).

## Basic usage example

### In form HTML

- Use `.` to access a struct field (e.g. `struct.field1`).
- Use `[<index>]` to access tje specific slice/array index (e.g. `struct.array[0]`). It's not necessary to add an index to append data.
- Use `[<key>]` to access map keys (e.g.. `struct.map[es-ES]`).

```html
<form method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="Name" value="Sony" />
  <input type="text" name="Location.Country" value="Japan" />
  <input type="text" name="Location.City" value="Tokyo" />
  <input type="text" name="Products[0].Name" value="Playstation 4" />
  <input type="text" name="Products[0].Type" value="Video games" />
  <input type="text" name="Products[1].Name" value="TV Bravia 32" />
  <input type="text" name="Products[1].Type" value="TVs" />
  <input type="text" name="Founders[0]" value="Masaru Ibuka" />
  <input type="text" name="Founders[0]" value="Akio Morita" />
  <input type="text" name="Employees" value="90000" />
  <input type="text" name="public" value="true" />
  <input type="url" name="website" value="http://www.sony.net" />
  <input type="date" name="foundation" value="1946-05-07" />
  <input type="text" name="Interface.ID" value="12" />
  <input type="text" name="Interface.Name" value="Go Programming Language" />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>
```

### In Go

You can use the `formam` struct tag to ensure the form values are unmarshalled in the currect struct fields.

```go
type InterfaceStruct struct {
    ID   int
    Name string
}

type Company struct {
  Public     bool      `formam:"public"`
  Website    url.URL   `formam:"website"`
  Foundation time.Time `formam:"foundation"`
  Name       string
  Location   struct {
    Country  string
    City     string
  }
  Products   []struct {
    Name string
    Type string
  }
  Founders   []string
  Employees  int64

  Interface interface{}
}

func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error {
  r.ParseForm()

  m := Company{
      // it's is possible to access to the fields although it's an interface field!
      Interface: &InterfaceStruct{},
  }
  dec := formam.NewDecoder(&formam.DecoderOptions{TagName: "formam"})
  return dec.Decode(r.Form, &m)
}
```

## Types

Supported types in the destination struct are:

- `string`
- `bool`
- `int`, `int8`, `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
- `uint`, `uint8`, `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
- `float32`, `float64`
- `slice`, `array`
- `struct` and `struct anonymous`
- `map`
- `interface{}`
- `time.Time`
- `url.URL`
- `custom types` to one of the above types
- a `pointer` to one of the above types

## Custom Marshaling

You can umarshal data and map keys by implementing the `encoding.TextUnmarshaler` interface.

If the forms sends multiple values then only the first value is passed to `UnmarshalText()`, but if the name ends with `[]` then it's called for all values.

## Custom Type

You can register a function for a custom type using the `RegisterCustomType()` method. This will work for any number of given fields or all fields with the given type.

Registered type have preference over the UnmarshalText method unless the `PrefUnmarshalText` option is used.

### All fields

```go
decoder.RegisterCustomType(func(vals []string) (interface{}, error) {
        return time.Parse("2006-01-02", vals[0])
}, []interface{}{time.Time{}}, nil)
```

### Specific fields

```go
package main

type Times struct {
    Timestamp   time.Time
    Time        time.Time
    TimeDefault time.Time
}

func main() {
    var t Timestamp

    dec := NewDecoder(nil)

    // for Timestamp field
    dec.RegisterCustomType(func(vals []string) (interface{}, error) {
            return time.Parse("2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00", vals[0])
    }, []interface{}{time.Time{}}, []interface{}{&t.Timestamp{}})

    // for Time field
    dec.RegisterCustomType(func(vals []string) (interface{}, error) {
                return time.Parse("Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST", vals[0])
    }, []interface{}{time.Time{}}, []interface{}{&t.Time{}})

    // for field that not be Time or Timestamp, e.g. in this example, TimeDefault.
    dec.RegisterCustomType(func(vals []string) (interface{}, error) {
                return time.Parse("2006-01-02", vals[0])
    }, []interface{}{time.Time{}}, nil)

    dec.Decode(url.Values{}, &t)
}
```

## Notes

Version 2 is compatible with old syntax to access to maps (`map.key`), but brackets are the preferred way to access a map (`map[key])`.


formam

Framework-agnostic library for parsing and validating form/JSON data which supports multipart forms and files.

Forms
=====

[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/albrow/forms?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/albrow/forms)

Forms is a lightweight, but incredibly useful go library for parsing
form data from an http.Request. It supports multipart forms, url-encoded
forms, json data, and url query parameters. It also provides helper methods
for converting data into other types and a Validator object which can be
used to validate the data. Forms is framework-agnostic and works directly
with the http package.

Version 0.4.0


Development Status
------------------

Forms is no longer actively maintained, and therefore it is not recommended for
use in mission-critical production applications at this time. That said, it is
fairly well tested and is probably fine to use for low-traffic hobby
sites.

Forms follows semantic versioning but offers no guarantees of backwards
compatibility until version 1.0. Keep in mind that breaking changes might occur.
We will do our best to make the community aware of any non-trivial breaking
changes beforehand. We recommend using a dependency vendoring tool such as
[godep](https://github.com/tools/godep) to ensure that breaking changes will not
break your application.

Installation
------------

Install like you would any other package:
```
go get github.com/albrow/forms
```

Then include the package in your import statements:
``` go
import "github.com/albrow/forms"
```

Example Usage
-------------

Meant to be used inside the body of an http.HandlerFunc or any function that
has access to an http.Request.

``` go
func CreateUserHandler(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	// Parse request data.
	userData, err := forms.Parse(req)
	if err != nil {
		// Handle err
		// ...
	}

	// Validate
	val := userData.Validator()
	val.Require("username")
	val.LengthRange("username", 4, 16)
	val.Require("email")
	val.MatchEmail("email")
	val.Require("password")
	val.MinLength("password", 8)
	val.Require("confirmPassword")
	val.Equal("password", "confirmPassword")
	val.RequireFile("profileImage")
	val.AcceptFileExts("profileImage", "jpg", "png", "gif")
	if val.HasErrors() {
		// Write the errors to the response
		// Maybe this means formatting the errors as json
		// or re-rendering the form with an error message
		// ...
	}

	// Use data to create a user object
	user := &models.User {
		Username: userData.Get("username"),
		Email: userData.Get("email"),
		HashedPassword: hash(userData.Get("password")),
	}

	// Continue by saving the user to the database and writing
	// to the response
	// ...


	// Get the contents of the profileImage file
	imageBytes, err := userData.GetFileBytes("profileImage")
	if err != nil {
	  // Handle err
	}
	// Now you can either copy the file over to your server using io.Copy,
	// upload the file to something like amazon S3, or do whatever you want
	// with it.
}
```

# gbind
	Encapsulate general parameter parsing and parameter verification logic, 
	minimize repetitive code in daily development, and solve parameter binding 
	and verification in a few lines of code


## Features
+ Bind data to the specified structure based on tag information
	- Built-in HTTP request path, query, form, header, cookie binding ability
		- Binding for http uri parameters  `gbind:"http.path"`
		- Binding for http query parameters `gbind:"http.query.varname"`
		- Binding for http header parameters  `gbind:"http.header.varname"`
		- Binding for http form parameters `gbind:"http.form.varname"`
		- Binding for http cookie parameters `gbind:"http.cookie.varname"`
	- Built-in json binding capability, implemented with encoding/json
		- For HTTP body in json format, follow golang json parsing format uniformly `json:"varname"`
	- Support for setting default values of bound fields
		- Supports setting default values of bound fields when no data is passed in `gbind:"http.query.varname,default=123"`
	- Support custom binding parsing logic (not limited to HTTP requests, using gbind can do bindings similar to database tags and other scenarios)
		- You can register custom binding logic by calling the `RegisterBindFunc` function, such as implementing a binding of the form `gbind:"simple.key"`

- Validate the field value according to the tag information, [parameter validation logic refer to the validate package](https://pkg.go.dev/gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v9	)
	- Data validation of bound fields is performed according to the defined `validate`tag, which depends on github.com/go-playground/validator implementation, `validate="required,lt=100"`
	- Support custom validation logic, you can customize the data validation logic by calling the `RegisterCustomValidation` function
	- Support custom error message for validation failure
	- By defining the tag of err_msg, it supports custom error message when parameter validation fails, demo `gbind:"http.cookie.Token" validate="required,lt=100" err_msg="Please complete the login"`
## Usage example
- Use gbind's web API request parameters for binding and verification

```golang
package gbind

import (
	"context"
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"net/http/httptest"
	"net/url"
)

type Params struct {
	API    string `gbind:"http.path,default=/api/test"`
	Appkey string `gbind:"http.query.appkey,default=appkey-default"`
	Page   int    `gbind:"http.query.page,default=1"`
	Size   int    `gbind:"http.query.size,default=10"`
	Token  string `gbind:"http.cookie.Token" validate:"required" err_msg:"please login"`
	Host   string `gbind:"http.header.host,default=www.baidu.com"`
	Uids   []int  `gbind:"http.form.uids"`
}

func Controller(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	var requestParams = &Params{}
	if _, err := BindWithValidate(context.Background(), requestParams, r); err != nil {
		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusBadRequest)
		return
	}
	bs, _ := json.MarshalIndent(requestParams, "", "\t")
	w.Write(bs)
}

func ExampleGbind() {
	w := httptest.NewRecorder()
	u, _ := url.Parse("http://gbind.baidu.com/api/test?appkey=abc&page=2")
	r := &http.Request{
		Method: http.MethodPost,
		Header: map[string][]string{
			"Host": {"gbind.baidu.com"},
		},
		PostForm: url.Values{
			"uids": {"1", "2", "3"},
		},
		URL: u,
	}
	r.AddCookie(&http.Cookie{
		Name:  "Token",
		Value: "foo-bar-andsoon",
	})

	Controller(w, r)

	fmt.Println(w.Result().Status)
	fmt.Println(w.Body.String())

	// Output:
	// 200 OK
	//{
	//	"API": "/api/test",
	//	"Appkey": "abc",
	//	"Page": 2,
	//	"Size": 10,
	//	"Token": "foo-bar-andsoon",
	//	"Host": "gbind.baidu.com",
	//	"Uids": [
	//		1,
	//		2,
	//		3
	//	]
	//}
}
```
- Customize the binding logic, you can realize the binding of different scenarios, demo `gbind:"simple.key"`
```golang
package gbind

func TestRegisterBindFunc(t *testing.T) {
	g := NewGbind()
	g.RegisterBindFunc("simple", NewSimpleExecer)

	type Foo struct {
		Key string `gbind:"simple.key"`
	}
	f := &Foo{}
	_, err := g.Bind(context.WithValue(context.Background(), exprKey{}, "simple-k-d"), f, nil)
	assert.Nil(t, err)
	assert.Equal(t, "simple-k-d", f.Key)	
}

type exprKey struct{}

func NewSimpleExecer(values [][]byte) (Execer, error) {
	n := len(values)
	if n != 2 {
		return nil, errors.New("syntax error: simple error")
	}
	switch {
	case bytes.Equal(values[1], []byte("key")):
		return &simpleKeyExecer{}, nil
	}
	return nil, fmt.Errorf("syntax error: not support simple %s", values[1])
}

type simpleKeyExecer struct{}

// Exec
func (s *simpleKeyExecer) Exec(ctx context.Context, value reflect.Value, data interface{}, opt *DefaultOption) (context.Context, error) {
	err := TrySet(value, []string{ctx.Value(exprKey{}).(string)}, opt)
	return ctx, err
}

// Name
func (s *simpleKeyExecer) Name() string {
	return "simple.key"
}

```
- Custom data verification logic, can realize verification in different scenarios, demo `validate:"is-awesome"`
```golang
func TestRegisterCustomValidation(t *testing.T) {
	g := NewGbind()

	g.RegisterCustomValidation("is-awesome", func(fl validator.FieldLevel) bool {
		return fl.Field().String() == "awesome"
	})

	{
		type Foo struct {
			Appkey string `gbind:"http.query.appkey" validate:"is-awesome"`
		}
		f := &Foo{}
		req := NewReq().AddQueryParam("appkey", "awesome").R()
		_, err := g.BindWithValidate(context.Background(), f, req)
		assert.Nil(t, err)
	}
}
```

![Gorilla Logo](https://github.com/gorilla/.github/assets/53367916/d92caabf-98e0-473e-bfbf-ab554ba435e5)

gorilla/csrf is a HTTP middleware library that provides [cross-site request
forgery](http://blog.codinghorror.com/preventing-csrf-and-xsrf-attacks/) (CSRF)
protection. It includes:

- The `csrf.Protect` middleware/handler provides CSRF protection on routes
  attached to a router or a sub-router.
- A `csrf.Token` function that provides the token to pass into your response,
  whether that be a HTML form or a JSON response body.
- ... and a `csrf.TemplateField` helper that you can pass into your `html/template`
  templates to replace a `{{ .csrfField }}` template tag with a hidden input
  field.

gorilla/csrf is designed to work with any Go web framework, including:

- The [Gorilla](https://www.gorillatoolkit.org/) toolkit
- Go's built-in [net/http](http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/) package
- [Goji](https://goji.io) - see the [tailored fork](https://github.com/goji/csrf)
- [Gin](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin)
- [Echo](https://github.com/labstack/echo)
- ... and any other router/framework that rallies around Go's `http.Handler` interface.

gorilla/csrf is also compatible with middleware 'helper' libraries like
[Alice](https://github.com/justinas/alice) and [Negroni](https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni).

## Install

With a properly configured Go toolchain:

```sh
go get github.com/gorilla/csrf
```

## Examples

- [HTML Forms](#html-forms)
- [JavaScript Apps](#javascript-applications)
- [Google App Engine](#google-app-engine)
- [Setting SameSite](#setting-samesite)
- [Setting Options](#setting-options)

gorilla/csrf is easy to use: add the middleware to your router with
the below:

```go
CSRF := csrf.Protect([]byte("32-byte-long-auth-key"))
http.ListenAndServe(":8000", CSRF(r))
```

...and then collect the token with `csrf.Token(r)` in your handlers before
passing it to the template, JSON body or HTTP header (see below).

Note that the authentication key passed to `csrf.Protect([]byte(key))` should:
- be 32-bytes long
- persist across application restarts.
- kept secret from potential malicious users - do not hardcode it into the source code, especially not in open-source applications.

Generating a random key won't allow you to authenticate existing cookies and will break your CSRF
validation.

gorilla/csrf inspects the HTTP headers (first) and form body (second) on
subsequent POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE/etc. requests for the token.

### HTML Forms

Here's the common use-case: HTML forms you want to provide CSRF protection for,
in order to protect malicious POST requests being made:

```go
package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/gorilla/csrf"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func main() {
    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/signup", ShowSignupForm)
    // All POST requests without a valid token will return HTTP 403 Forbidden.
    // We should also ensure that our mutating (non-idempotent) handler only
    // matches on POST requests. We can check that here, at the router level, or
    // within the handler itself via r.Method.
    r.HandleFunc("/signup/post", SubmitSignupForm).Methods("POST")

    // Add the middleware to your router by wrapping it.
    http.ListenAndServe(":8000",
        csrf.Protect([]byte("32-byte-long-auth-key"))(r))
    // PS: Don't forget to pass csrf.Secure(false) if you're developing locally
    // over plain HTTP (just don't leave it on in production).
}

func ShowSignupForm(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // signup_form.tmpl just needs a {{ .csrfField }} template tag for
    // csrf.TemplateField to inject the CSRF token into. Easy!
    t.ExecuteTemplate(w, "signup_form.tmpl", map[string]interface{}{
        csrf.TemplateTag: csrf.TemplateField(r),
    })
    // We could also retrieve the token directly from csrf.Token(r) and
    // set it in the request header - w.Header.Set("X-CSRF-Token", token)
    // This is useful if you're sending JSON to clients or a front-end JavaScript
    // framework.
}

func SubmitSignupForm(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // We can trust that requests making it this far have satisfied
    // our CSRF protection requirements.
}
```

Note that the CSRF middleware will (by necessity) consume the request body if the
token is passed via POST form values. If you need to consume this in your
handler, insert your own middleware earlier in the chain to capture the request
body.

### JavaScript Applications

This approach is useful if you're using a front-end JavaScript framework like
React, Ember or Angular, and are providing a JSON API. Specifically, we need
to provide a way for our front-end fetch/AJAX calls to pass the token on each
fetch (AJAX/XMLHttpRequest) request. We achieve this by:

- Parsing the token from the `<input>` field generated by the
  `csrf.TemplateField(r)` helper, or passing it back in a response header.
- Sending this token back on every request
- Ensuring our cookie is attached to the request so that the form/header
  value can be compared to the cookie value.

We'll also look at applying selective CSRF protection using
[gorilla/mux's](https://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/mux) sub-routers,
as we don't handle any POST/PUT/DELETE requests with our top-level router.

```go
package main

import (
    "github.com/gorilla/csrf"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func main() {
    r := mux.NewRouter()
    csrfMiddleware := csrf.Protect([]byte("32-byte-long-auth-key"))

    api := r.PathPrefix("/api").Subrouter()
    api.Use(csrfMiddleware)
    api.HandleFunc("/user/{id}", GetUser).Methods("GET")

    http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r)
}

func GetUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Authenticate the request, get the id from the route params,
    // and fetch the user from the DB, etc.

    // Get the token and pass it in the CSRF header. Our JSON-speaking client
    // or JavaScript framework can now read the header and return the token in
    // in its own "X-CSRF-Token" request header on the subsequent POST.
    w.Header().Set("X-CSRF-Token", csrf.Token(r))
    b, err := json.Marshal(user)
    if err != nil {
        http.Error(w, err.Error(), 500)
        return
    }

    w.Write(b)
}
```

In our JavaScript application, we should read the token from the response
headers and pass it in a request header for all requests. Here's what that
looks like when using [Axios](https://github.com/axios/axios), a popular
JavaScript HTTP client library:

```js
// You can alternatively parse the response header for the X-CSRF-Token, and
// store that instead, if you followed the steps above to write the token to a
// response header.
let csrfToken = document.getElementsByName("gorilla.csrf.Token")[0].value

// via https://github.com/axios/axios#creating-an-instance
const instance = axios.create({
  baseURL: "https://example.com/api/",
  timeout: 1000,
  headers: { "X-CSRF-Token": csrfToken }
})

// Now, any HTTP request you make will include the csrfToken from the page,
// provided you update the csrfToken variable for each render.
try {
  let resp = await instance.post(endpoint, formData)
  // Do something with resp
} catch (err) {
  // Handle the exception
}
```

If you plan to host your JavaScript application on another domain, you can use the Trusted Origins
feature to allow the host of your JavaScript application to make requests to your Go application. Observe the example below:


```go
package main

import (
    "github.com/gorilla/csrf"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func main() {
    r := mux.NewRouter()
    csrfMiddleware := csrf.Protect([]byte("32-byte-long-auth-key"), csrf.TrustedOrigins([]string{"ui.domain.com"}))

    api := r.PathPrefix("/api").Subrouter()
    api.Use(csrfMiddleware)
    api.HandleFunc("/user/{id}", GetUser).Methods("GET")

    http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r)
}

func GetUser(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Authenticate the request, get the id from the route params,
    // and fetch the user from the DB, etc.

    // Get the token and pass it in the CSRF header. Our JSON-speaking client
    // or JavaScript framework can now read the header and return the token in
    // in its own "X-CSRF-Token" request header on the subsequent POST.
    w.Header().Set("X-CSRF-Token", csrf.Token(r))
    b, err := json.Marshal(user)
    if err != nil {
        http.Error(w, err.Error(), 500)
        return
    }

    w.Write(b)
}
```

On the example above, you're authorizing requests from `ui.domain.com` to make valid CSRF requests to your application, so you can have your API server on another domain without problems.

### Google App Engine

If you're using [Google App
Engine](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/how-requests-are-handled#Go_Requests_and_HTTP),
(first-generation) which doesn't allow you to hook into the default `http.ServeMux` directly,
you can still use gorilla/csrf (and gorilla/mux):

```go
package app

// Remember: appengine has its own package main
func init() {
    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/", IndexHandler)
    // ...

    // We pass our CSRF-protected router to the DefaultServeMux
    http.Handle("/", csrf.Protect([]byte(your-key))(r))
}
```

Note: You can ignore this if you're using the
[second-generation](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/) Go runtime
on App Engine (Go 1.11 and above).

### Setting SameSite

Go 1.11 introduced the option to set the SameSite attribute in cookies. This is
valuable if a developer wants to instruct a browser to not include cookies during
a cross site request. SameSiteStrictMode prevents all cross site requests from including
the cookie. SameSiteLaxMode prevents CSRF prone requests (POST) from including the cookie
but allows the cookie to be included in GET requests to support external linking.

```go
func main() {
    CSRF := csrf.Protect(
      []byte("a-32-byte-long-key-goes-here"),
      // instruct the browser to never send cookies during cross site requests
      csrf.SameSite(csrf.SameSiteStrictMode),
    )

    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/signup", GetSignupForm)
    r.HandleFunc("/signup/post", PostSignupForm)

    http.ListenAndServe(":8000", CSRF(r))
}
```

### Cookie path

By default, CSRF cookies are set on the path of the request.

This can create issues, if the request is done from one path to a different path.

You might want to set up a root path for all the cookies; that way, the CSRF will always work across all your paths.

```
    CSRF := csrf.Protect(
      []byte("a-32-byte-long-key-goes-here"),
      csrf.Path("/"),
    )
```

### Setting Options

What about providing your own error handler and changing the HTTP header the
package inspects on requests? (i.e. an existing API you're porting to Go). Well,
gorilla/csrf provides options for changing these as you see fit:

```go
func main() {
    CSRF := csrf.Protect(
            []byte("a-32-byte-long-key-goes-here"),
            csrf.RequestHeader("Authenticity-Token"),
            csrf.FieldName("authenticity_token"),
            csrf.ErrorHandler(http.HandlerFunc(serverError(403))),
    )

    r := mux.NewRouter()
    r.HandleFunc("/signup", GetSignupForm)
    r.HandleFunc("/signup/post", PostSignupForm)

    http.ListenAndServe(":8000", CSRF(r))
}
```

Not too bad, right?

If there's something you're confused about or a feature you would like to see
added, open an issue.

## Design Notes

Getting CSRF protection right is important, so here's some background:

- This library generates unique-per-request (masked) tokens as a mitigation
  against the [BREACH attack](http://breachattack.com/).
- The 'base' (unmasked) token is stored in the session, which means that
  multiple browser tabs won't cause a user problems as their per-request token
  is compared with the base token.
- Operates on a "whitelist only" approach where safe (non-mutating) HTTP methods
  (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE) are the _only_ methods where token validation is not
  enforced.
- The design is based on the battle-tested
  [Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/csrf/) and [Ruby on
  Rails](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/RequestForgeryProtection.html)
  approaches.
- Cookies are authenticated and based on the [securecookie](https://github.com/gorilla/securecookie)
  library. They're also Secure (issued over HTTPS only) and are HttpOnly
  by default, because sane defaults are important.
- Cookie SameSite attribute (prevents cookies from being sent by a browser
  during cross site requests) are not set by default to maintain backwards compatibility
  for legacy systems. The SameSite attribute can be set with the SameSite option.
- Go's `crypto/rand` library is used to generate the 32 byte (256 bit) tokens
  and the one-time-pad used for masking them.

This library does not seek to be adventurous.

## Core Features

**httpin** helps you easily decode data from an HTTP request, including:

- **Query parameters**, e.g. `?name=john&is_member=true`
- **Headers**, e.g. `Authorization: xxx`
- **Form data**, e.g. `username=john&password=******`
- **JSON/XML Body**, e.g. `POST {"name":"john"}`
- **Path variables**, e.g. `/users/{username}`
- **File uploads**

You **only** need to define a struct to receive/bind data from an HTTP request, **without** writing any parsing stuff code by yourself.

Since v0.15.0, httpin also supports creating an HTTP request (`http.Request`) from a Go struct instance.

**httpin** is:

- **well documented**: at https://ggicci.github.io/httpin/
- **open integrated**: with [net/http](https://ggicci.github.io/httpin/integrations/http), [go-chi/chi](https://ggicci.github.io/httpin/integrations/gochi), [gorilla/mux](https://ggicci.github.io/httpin/integrations/gorilla), [gin-gonic/gin](https://ggicci.github.io/httpin/integrations/gin), etc.
- **extensible** (advanced feature): by adding your custom directives. Read [httpin - custom directives](https://ggicci.github.io/httpin/directives/custom) for more details.

## Add Httpin Directives by Tagging the Struct Fields with `in`

```go
type ListUsersInput struct {
	Token    string  `in:"query=access_token;header=x-access-token"`
	Page     int     `in:"query=page;default=1"`
	PerPage  int     `in:"query=per_page;default=20"`
	IsMember bool    `in:"query=is_member"`
    Search   *string `in:"query=search;omitempty"`
}
```

## How to decode an HTTP request to Go struct?

```go
func ListUsers(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	input := r.Context().Value(httpin.Input).(*ListUsersInput)

	if input.IsMember {
		// Do sth.
	}
	// Do sth.
}
```

## How to encode a Go struct to HTTP request?

```go
func SDKListUsers() {
	payload := &ListUsersInput{
		Token:    os.Getenv("MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN"),
		Page:     2,
		IsMember: true,
	}

	// Easy to remember, http.NewRequest -> httpin.NewRequest
	req, err := httpin.NewRequest("GET", "/users", payload)
	// ...
}
```

## Why this package?

#### Compared with using `net/http` package

```go
func ListUsers(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	page, err := strconv.ParseInt(r.FormValue("page"), 10, 64)
	if err != nil {
		// Invalid parameter: page.
		return
	}
	perPage, err := strconv.ParseInt(r.FormValue("per_page"), 10, 64)
	if err != nil {
		// Invalid parameter: per_page.
		return
	}
	isMember, err := strconv.ParseBool(r.FormValue("is_member"))
	if err != nil {
		// Invalid parameter: is_member.
		return
	}

	// Do sth.
}
```

# nosurf

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/justinas/nosurf.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/justinas/nosurf)
[![GoDoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/justinas/nosurf?status.png)](http://godoc.org/github.com/justinas/nosurf)

`nosurf` is an HTTP package for Go
that helps you prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
It acts like a middleware and therefore 
is compatible with basically any Go HTTP application.

### Why?
Even though CSRF is a prominent vulnerability,
Go's web-related package infrastructure mostly consists of
micro-frameworks that neither do implement CSRF checks,
nor should they.

`nosurf` solves this problem by providing a `CSRFHandler`
that wraps your `http.Handler` and checks for CSRF attacks
on every non-safe (non-GET/HEAD/OPTIONS/TRACE) method.

`nosurf` requires Go 1.1 or later.

### Features

* Supports any `http.Handler` (frameworks, your own handlers, etc.)
and acts like one itself.
* Allows exempting specific endpoints from CSRF checks by
an exact URL, a glob, or a regular expression.
* Allows specifying your own failure handler. 
Want to present the hacker with an ASCII middle finger
instead of the plain old `HTTP 400`? No problem.
* Uses masked tokens to mitigate the BREACH attack.
* Has no dependencies outside the Go standard library.

### Example
```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/justinas/nosurf"
	"html/template"
	"net/http"
)

var templateString string = `
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
{{ if .name }}
<p>Your name: {{ .name }}</p>
{{ end }}
<form action="/" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name">


<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="{{ .token }}">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
</body>
</html>
`
var templ = template.Must(template.New("t1").Parse(templateString))

func myFunc(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	context := make(map[string]string)
	context["token"] = nosurf.Token(r)
	if r.Method == "POST" {
		context["name"] = r.FormValue("name")
	}
	
	templ.Execute(w, context)
}

func main() {
	myHandler := http.HandlerFunc(myFunc)
	fmt.Println("Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000/")
	http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nosurf.New(myHandler))
}
```

### Manual token verification
In some cases the CSRF token may be send through a non standard way,
e.g. a body or request is a JSON encoded message with one of the fields
being a token.

In such case the handler(path) should be excluded from an automatic
verification by using one of the exemption methods:

```go
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptFunc(fn func(r *http.Request) bool)
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptGlob(pattern string)
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptGlobs(patterns ...string)
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptPath(path string)
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptPaths(paths ...string)
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptRegexp(re interface{})
	func (h *CSRFHandler) ExemptRegexps(res ...interface{})
```

Later on, the token **must** be verified by manually getting the token from the cookie
and providing the token sent in body through: `VerifyToken(tkn, tkn2 string) bool`.

Example:
```go
func HandleJson(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	d := struct{
		X,Y int
		Tkn string
	}{}
	json.Unmarshal(ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body), &d)
	if !nosurf.VerifyToken(nosurf.Token(r), d.Tkn) {
		http.Errorf(w, "CSRF token incorrect", http.StatusBadRequest)
		return
	}
	// do smth cool
}
```

Package sonh/qs encodes structs into url.Values.

## Installation
```bash
go get github.com/sonh/qs
```

## Usage
```go
import (
    "github.com/sonh/qs"
)
```
Package qs exports `NewEncoder()` function to create an encoder. 

Encoder caches struct info to speed up encoding process, use a single instance is highly recommended. 

Use `WithTagAlias()` func to register custom tag alias (default is `qs`)
```go
encoder = qs.NewEncoder(
    qs.WithTagAlias("myTag"),
)
```

Encoder has `Values()` and `Encode()` functions to encode structs into `url.Values`.

### Supported data types:
- all basic types (`bool`, `uint`, `string`, `float64`,...)
- `struct`
- `slice`, `array`
- `pointer`
- `time.Time`   
- custom type

### Example
```go
type Query struct {
    Tags   []string  `qs:"tags"`
    Limit  int       `qs:"limit"`
    From   time.Time `qs:"from"`
    Active bool      `qs:"active,omitempty"`  //omit empty value
    Ignore float64   `qs:"-"`                 //ignore
}

query := &Query{
    Tags:   []string{"docker", "golang", "reactjs"},
    Limit:  24,
    From:   time.Unix(1580601600, 0).UTC(),
    Ignore: 0,
}

encoder := qs.NewEncoder()
values, err := encoder.Values(query)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
}
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "from=2020-02-02T00:00:00Z&limit=24&tags=docker&tags=golang&tags=reactjs"
```
### Bool format
Use `int` option to encode bool to integer
```go
type Query struct {
    DefaultFmt bool `qs:"default_fmt"`
    IntFmt     bool `qs:"int_fmt,int"`
}

query := &Query{
    DefaultFmt: true, 
    IntFmt:     true,
}
values, _ := encoder.Values(query)
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) // (unescaped) output: "default_fmt=true&int_fmt=1"
```
### Time format
By default, package encodes time.Time values as RFC3339 format. 

Including the `"second"` or `"millis"` option to signal that the field should be encoded as second or millisecond.
```go
type Query struct {
    Default time.Time   `qs:"default_fmt"`
    Second  time.Time   `qs:"second_fmt,second"` //use `second` option
    Millis  time.Time   `qs:"millis_fmt,millis"` //use `millis` option
}

t := time.Unix(1580601600, 0).UTC()
query := &Query{
    Default: t,
    Second:  t,
    Millis:  t,
}

encoder := qs.NewEncoder()
values, _ := encoder.Values(query)
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) // (unescaped) output: "default_fmt=2020-02-02T00:00:00Z&millis_fmt=1580601600000&second_fmt=1580601600"
```

### Slice/Array Format
Slice and Array default to encoding into multiple URL values of the same value name.
```go
type Query struct {
    Tags []string `qs:"tags"`
}

values, _ := encoder.Values(&Query{Tags: []string{"foo","bar"}})
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "tags=foo&tags=bar"
```

Including the `comma` option to signal that the field should be encoded as a single comma-delimited value.
```go
type Query struct {
    Tags []string `qs:"tags,comma"`
}

values, _ := encoder.Values(&Query{Tags: []string{"foo","bar"}})
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "tags=foo,bar"
```

Including the `bracket` option to signal that the multiple URL values should have "[]" appended to the value name.
```go
type Query struct {
    Tags []string `qs:"tags,bracket"`
}

values, _ := encoder.Values(&Query{Tags: []string{"foo","bar"}})
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "tags[]=foo&tags[]=bar"
```

The `index` option will append an index number with brackets to value name.
```go
type Query struct {
    Tags []string `qs:"tags,index"`
}

values, _ := encoder.Values(&Query{Tags: []string{"foo","bar"}})
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "tags[0]=foo&tags[1]=bar"
```

### Nested structs
All nested structs are encoded including the parent value name with brackets for scoping.
```go
type User struct {
    Verified bool      `qs:"verified"`
    From     time.Time `qs:"from,millis"`
}

type Query struct {
    User User `qs:"user"`
}

query := Query{
    User: User{
        Verified: true,
        From: time.Now(),
    },
}
values, _ := encoder.Values(query)
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "user[from]=1601623397728&user[verified]=true"
```

### Custom Type
Implement funcs:
* `EncodeParam` to encode itself into query param.
* `IsZero` to check whether an object is zero to determine whether it should be omitted when encoding.
```go
type NullableName struct {
	First string
	Last  string
}

func (n NullableName) EncodeParam() (string, error) {
	return n.First + n.Last, nil
}

func (n NullableName) IsZero() bool {
	return n.First == "" && n.Last == ""
}

type Struct struct {
    User  NullableName `qs:"user"`
    Admin NullableName `qs:"admin,omitempty"`
}

s := Struct{
    User: NullableName{
        First: "son",
        Last:  "huynh",
    },
}
encoder := qs.NewEncoder()

values, err := encoder.Values(&s)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
    fmt.Println("failed")
    return
}
fmt.Println(values.Encode()) //(unescaped) output: "user=sonhuynh"
```

### Limitation
- if elements in `slice/array` are `struct` data type, multi-level nesting are limited
- no decoder yet

_Will improve in future versions_

[![Mentioned in Awesome Go](https://awesome.re/mentioned-badge.svg)](https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go)

Stop accessing query strings and repeatedly parsing them into your preferred values - `queryparam` can do that for you! 

## Installation

```
go get -u github.com/tomwright/queryparam
```

## Usage

Please use the latest major version. This requires the `/v4` at the end of the import as per the go mod documentation.

```
import github.com/tomwright/queryparam/v4
```

## Examples

For examples see [godoc examples](https://godoc.org/github.com/TomWright/queryparam#example-Parse).

## Quickstart

Transform your http handlers from this...
```
func searchUsersHandler(r *http.Request, rw http.ResponseWriter) {
	values := r.URL.Query()

	userIDs := make([]string, 0)
	if userIDsStr := values.Get("id"); userIDsStr != "" {
		userIDs = strings.Split(userIDsStr, ",")
	}
	teamIDs := make([]string, 0)
	if teamIDsStr := values.Get("team-id"); teamIDsStr != "" {
		teamIDs = strings.Split(teamIDsStr, ",")
	}
	mustBeActive := false
	switch strings.ToLower(values.Get("must-be-active")) {
	case "true", "yes", "y":
		mustBeActive = true
	case "":
		break
	default:
		// unhandled bool value... handle as 400 or ignore to default as false
	}
	createdAfter := time.Time{}
	if createdAfterStr := values.Get("must-be-active"); createdAfterStr != "" {
		var err error
		createdAfter, err = time.Parse(time.RFC3339, createdAfterStr)
		if err != nil {
			// bad time value
		}
	}

	users, err := searchUsers(userIDs, teamIDs, mustBeActive, createdAfter)

	// handle users and err...
}
```

To this...
```
func searchUsersHandler(r *http.Request, rw http.ResponseWriter) {
	req := struct {
		UserIDs      []string  `queryparam:"id"`
		TeamIDs      []string  `queryparam:"team-id"`
		MustBeActive bool      `queryparam:"must-be-active"`
		CreatedAfter time.Time `queryparam:"created-after"`
	}{}

	err := queryparam.Parse(r.URL.Query(), &req)
	switch err {
	case nil:
		break
	case queryparam.ErrInvalidBoolValue: // only necessary if the request contains a bool value
		// they have entered a non-bool value.
		// this can be handled this as a 400 or ignored to default to false.
		return
	default:
		// something went wrong when parsing a value.
		// send a 500.
		return
	}

	users, err := searchUsers(req.UserIDs, req.TeamIDs, req.MustBeActive, req.CreatedAfter)

	// handle users and err...
}
```

## Types

By default `queryparam` can parse the following types.

- `string`
- `[]string`
- `int`
- `int32`
- `int64`
- `float32`
- `float64`
- `bool`
- `time.Time`
- `queryparam.Present`

### Custom Types

You can add custom type parsers and setters with the following:

```
// your custom type.
type MyCustomStringType string

// add a value parser for the custom type.
queryparam.DefaultParser.ValueParsers[reflect.TypeOf(MyCustomStringType(""))] = func(value string, _ string) (reflect.Value, error) {
    return reflect.ValueOf(MyCustomStringType(value)), nil
}
```

You can override the default value parsers in a similar manner...
```
queryparam.DefaultParser.ValueParsers[reflect.TypeOf("")] = func(value string, _ string) (reflect.Value, error) {
    // my custom string parser
    return reflect.ValueOf(value), nil
}
```
