Like the standard `http.ServeMux`, `mux.Router` matches incoming requests against a list of registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL or other conditions. The main features are: + +* Requests can be matched based on URL host, path, path prefix, schemes, header and query values, HTTP methods or using custom matchers. +* URL hosts and paths can have variables with an optional regular expression. +* Registered URLs can be built, or "reversed", which helps maintaining references to resources. +* Routes can be used as subrouters: nested routes are only tested if the parent route matches. This is useful to define groups of routes that share common conditions like a host, a path prefix or other repeated attributes. As a bonus, this optimizes request matching. +* It implements the `http.Handler` interface so it is compatible with the standard `http.ServeMux`. + +Let's start registering a couple of URL paths and handlers: + +```go +func main() { + r := mux.NewRouter() + r.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler) + r.HandleFunc("/products", ProductsHandler) + r.HandleFunc("/articles", ArticlesHandler) + http.Handle("/", r) +} +``` + +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: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +r.HandleFunc("/products/{key}", ProductHandler) +r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/", ArticlesCategoryHandler) +r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler) +``` + +The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling `mux.Vars()`: + +```go +vars := mux.Vars(request) +category := vars["category"] +``` + +And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below. + +Routes can also be restricted to a domain or subdomain. Just define a host pattern to be matched. They can also have variables: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +// Only matches if domain is "www.example.com". +r.Host("www.example.com") +// Matches a dynamic subdomain. +r.Host("{subdomain:[a-z]+}.domain.com") +``` + +There are several other matchers that can be added. To match path prefixes: + +```go +r.PathPrefix("/products/") +``` + +...or HTTP methods: + +```go +r.Methods("GET", "POST") +``` + +...or URL schemes: + +```go +r.Schemes("https") +``` + +...or header values: + +```go +r.Headers("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest") +``` + +...or query values: + +```go +r.Queries("key", "value") +``` + +...or to use a custom matcher function: + +```go +r.MatcherFunc(func(r *http.Request, rm *RouteMatch) bool { + return r.ProtoMajor == 0 +}) +``` + +...and finally, it is possible to combine several matchers in a single route: + +```go +r.HandleFunc("/products", ProductsHandler). + Host("www.example.com"). + Methods("GET"). + Schemes("http") +``` + +Setting the same matching conditions again and again can be boring, so we have a way to group several routes that share the same requirements. We call it "subrouting". + +For example, let's say we have several URLs that should only match when the host is `www.example.com`. Create a route for that host and get a "subrouter" from it: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +s := r.Host("www.example.com").Subrouter() +``` + +Then register routes in the subrouter: + +```go +s.HandleFunc("/products/", ProductsHandler) +s.HandleFunc("/products/{key}", ProductHandler) +s.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}"), ArticleHandler) +``` + +The three URL paths we registered above will only be tested if the domain is `www.example.com`, because the subrouter is tested first. This is not only convenient, but also optimizes request matching. You can create subrouters combining any attribute matchers accepted by a route. + +Subrouters can be used to create domain or path "namespaces": you define subrouters in a central place and then parts of the app can register its paths relatively to a given subrouter. + +There's one more thing about subroutes. When a subrouter has a path prefix, the inner routes use it as base for their paths: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +s := r.PathPrefix("/products").Subrouter() +// "/products/" +s.HandleFunc("/", ProductsHandler) +// "/products/{key}/" +s.HandleFunc("/{key}/", ProductHandler) +// "/products/{key}/details" +s.HandleFunc("/{key}/details", ProductDetailsHandler) +``` + +Now let's see how to build registered URLs. + +Routes can be named. All routes that define a name can have their URLs built, or "reversed". We define a name calling `Name()` on a route. For example: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +r.HandleFunc("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}", ArticleHandler). + Name("article") +``` + +To build a URL, get the route and call the `URL()` method, passing a sequence of key/value pairs for the route variables. For the previous route, we would do: + +```go +url, err := r.Get("article").URL("category", "technology", "id", "42") +``` + +...and the result will be a `url.URL` with the following path: + +``` +"/articles/technology/42" +``` + +This also works for host variables: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +r.Host("{subdomain}.domain.com"). + Path("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}"). + HandlerFunc(ArticleHandler). + Name("article") + +// url.String() will be "http://news.domain.com/articles/technology/42" +url, err := r.Get("article").URL("subdomain", "news", + "category", "technology", + "id", "42") +``` + +All variables defined in the route are required, and their values must conform to the corresponding patterns. These requirements guarantee that a generated URL will always match a registered route -- the only exception is for explicitly defined "build-only" routes which never match. + +Regex support also exists for matching Headers within a route. For example, we could do: + +```go +r.HeadersRegexp("Content-Type", "application/(text|json)") +``` + +...and the route will match both requests with a Content-Type of `application/json` as well as `application/text` + +There's also a way to build only the URL host or path for a route: use the methods `URLHost()` or `URLPath()` instead. For the previous route, we would do: + +```go +// "http://news.domain.com/" +host, err := r.Get("article").URLHost("subdomain", "news") + +// "/articles/technology/42" +path, err := r.Get("article").URLPath("category", "technology", "id", "42") +``` + +And if you use subrouters, host and path defined separately can be built as well: + +```go +r := mux.NewRouter() +s := r.Host("{subdomain}.domain.com").Subrouter() +s.Path("/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}"). + HandlerFunc(ArticleHandler). + Name("article") + +// "http://news.domain.com/articles/technology/42" +url, err := r.Get("article").URL("subdomain", "news", + "category", "technology", + "id", "42") +``` + +## Full Example + +Here's a complete, runnable example of a small `mux` based server: + +```go +package main + +import ( + "net/http" + + "github.com/gorilla/mux" +) + +func YourHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { + w.Write([]byte("Gorilla!\n")) +} + +func main() { + r := mux.NewRouter() + // Routes consist of a path and a handler function. + r.HandleFunc("/", YourHandler) + + // Bind to a port and pass our router in + http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r) +} +``` + +## License + +BSD licensed.
