How to create your Golang APIs from now on with v1.22

Since Go 1.22 released you can now build your API services with just the net/http package, without the need for any external packages likes gorilla/mux, fiber or chi.
So in this video I’ll show you how I’m going to be building my APIs from now on with go 1.22.

I love the Echo framework, but for a very basic REST API or for learning Go and the stdlib, these new 1.22 updates for http, and Go itself make learning really good. Awesome video. As a TS dev, I am so used to reaching for libraries, but Go is so simple and elegant, you almost don't need to ever reach outside the stdlib 90% of the time. I can see why folks will reach for a router beyond the native one, though, because it definitely does abstract a few things away like creating a new mux for another router, stripping prefixes and defining the method in the route path. Enjoy your content brother, keep it up!

Yee I feel the same! Thanks bro!

Another great video Tiago!

Great Video , I'm learning Go and I'm trying to use stdlib before trying any external library, your videos are helping me with this.

hey me too! happy I found this channel

[@de-is]

Again, thanks for the great work. very motivational, and helps me to move forward.
I hope in your next video you are going to explain the "Functional Options" pattern you have used for "Middleware Chaining". Coz in this video you have just quietly typed it. :)))

[@solidev7702]

Yes man!!!

[@ferasmnsha5583]

can you please do a tutorial about using redis as a cache write-through in golang

[@iamhexdd]

How can i automate documentation for my apis Tiago when using this approach instead of using other web frameworks?

[@roshanpaudel6352]

Hi boss, I love your go content. I usually watch you and you use vim/nvim in your vscode with ease. I am a fulltime nvim user and I struggle to navigate around vscode even though using nvim extension. I love the way you navigate around. I looked at the description I couldn't find your github. Would you be able to share your vscode configs. I would love to implement it.
Thank you for your awesome content.

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Thank you!
I actually don't use vim. It looks like it because I made it so, but I'm just using the VSCode keybinds, I havent got the need to use VIM because I'm gotten pretty efficient with them.
Here are the dotfiles: github.com/sikozonpc/dotfiles
Not sure if they're 100% updated tho.

[@roshanpaudel6352]

@@TiagoTaquelim Thank you so much 😃

[@Rundik]

If server fails to start it will still print the message that it has started

[@PhanorColl]

for sub-routing, did you change the handler in the server to V1, or left the router, I tried it, if I leave Handler: router, it does not take effect , if I change it fo Handler: v1, it takes effect, how would you handle multiple subrouting?

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Try to change the endpoint handlers to the v1 the mux if that is not working.
To handle multiple routing I would do the same as I did but then you need to do what I mention above. You could create an "adminRouter" and all of the admin handlers needed to be from that router.

[@hsemix]

@@TiagoTaquelim Do you mean v1.HandleFunc("GET /users/{userID}", handler) coz that didn't work either

[@liyang-ib6lk]

I agree with you there.I ran the code for this video in my golan, but it does not match the results shown in the video. I am using the go version 1.22.1.The problem lies in the sub routing set by v1.I set the port to 8081.When I use curl -H "Authorization: Bearer token" localhost:8081/api/v1/users/23232 . The returned result is 404 page not found.What is the reason for this?

[@liyang-ib6lk]

@@TiagoTaquelim I have found the answer.This way of writing will have the same effect as in the video
middleWareChain := MiddlewareChain(RequestLogMiddleware, RequestAuthMiddleware)
childRouter := http.NewServeMux()
childRouter.Handle("/api/v1/", http.StripPrefix("/api/v1", router))
server := http.Server{
Addr: s.addr,
Handler: middleWareChain(childRouter),
}

thanks for your content, but now I need to hardcode the method type? who designs this wtf haha
