jimdn/restful

A package based on Golang and MongoDB for quickly building HTTP RESTful services with JSON.

Required

• go 1.13+
• mongodb v3.4.x v3.6.x
• elasticsearch v6.8.x v7.x.x (if enable searching)

Installation

Use go get.

go get github.com/jimdn/restful/v2

Then import the package into your own code.

import "github.com/jimdn/restful/v2"

Feature Overview

• Define the structure of the data resource (including json and bson tags), then you can implement the CURD service of HTTP+JSON. The protocol is as follows:

• When defining a data resource structure, the supported data types include:

  common types: bool int32 uint32 int64 uint64 float32 float64 string struct
  array types: []bool []int32 []uint32 []int64 []uint64 []float32 []float64 []string []struct
  map types: map[string]bool map[string]int32 map[string]uint32 map[string]int64 map[string]uint64 map[string]float32 map[string]float64 map[string]string  map[string]struct
  

• Support field level CreateOnly or ReadOnly:

  • CreateOnly: only allows creation, does not allow subsequent modification of the field
  • ReadOnly: only allows reading, does not allow creation and modification, is suitable for importing data from other systems to the database, and then providing data reading services.

• With the field check function, the incoming data field type is wrong or does not exist, it will return a failure and prompt specific error information.

• Support custom data ID or automatically create ID (UUIDv4), pay attention to the writing of tags:

    type Foo struct {
        Id  *string  `json:"id,omitempty" bson:"_id,omitempty"`
        ...
    }
  

• Support tracking data birth time and modify time, two additional fields required:

  • btime: birth time, record the timestamp when data created
  • mtime: modify time, record the timestamp the last modification of data

• Support anti-concurrent writing, the seq field required:

  • seq: will be updated each time the data is modified, the update (PATCH) request needs to bring the data original seq to prevent concurrent writing from causing data confusion.

• Support custom database name and table name, with URL params:

  • db: database name, default is restful
  • table: table name, default is {Biz}

  e.g.: /{Biz}?db=dbName&table=tableName
