I am new to golang and working on a restful service in golang using chi. I am trying to create a route as below:
func NewRouter(dm *storage.DatabaseManager) chi.Router {
var router = chi.NewRouter()
router.Method("POST", "/restaurant/search?name={name}",
&SearchRestaurants{DB: dm})
}
Here is how I fetch from mysql db:
func (rm *RestaurantManager) SearchRestaurantsFromDB(name string)
([]Restaurant, error) {
var restaurants []Restaurant
var stmt = fmt.Sprintf(`SELECT * FROM %s WHERE name=%s `,
rm.tableName, name)
var err error
if err = rm.Select(&restaurants, stmt); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return restaurants, nil
}
...and how I get from these:
func (h SearchRestaurants) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r
*http.Request) {
var err error
var result []storage.Restaurant
name := r.URL.Query().Get("name")
if result, err = h.DB.SearchRestaurantsFromDB(name); err != nil {
log.Fatal("Database Error: ", err)
}
fmt.Print(result)
api.WriteJSON(w, result)
log.Print(r.RequestURI)
}
But I try to hit this endpoint but I get a 404 not found: http://localhost:8000/project/restaurant/search?name={n}
May I know the issue here?
P.S.there is router.Mount("/project/", restaurant.NewRouter(dm)) in the main func.
I don't know chi but I think you misundestood the router path
You actually don't use query params to define the path router, the variables on path like {n} is for path params. What you are using is a Query param.
See the difference here :
Path Param
Access from: http://localhost:3333/name/JohnDoe
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Get("/name/{name}", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("hi" + chi.URLParam(r, "name")))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3333", r)
}
Query Param
Access from: http://localhost:3333/name?name=JohnDoe
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Get("/name", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("hi" + r.URL.Query().Get("name")))
})
http.ListenAndServe(":3333", r)
}
