Guide

Installation

// go get github.com/labstack/echo/{version}
go get github.com/labstack/echo/v4

Latest version of Echo supports last four Go major releases and might work with older versions.

Example

package main

import (
  "github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
  "github.com/labstack/echo/v4/middleware"
  "log/slog"
  "net/http"
)

func main() {
  // Echo instance
  e := echo.New()

  // Middleware
  e.Use(middleware.Logger())
  e.Use(middleware.Recover())

  // Routes
  e.GET("/", hello)

  // Start server
  if err := e.Start(":8080"); err != nil && !errors.Is(err, http.ErrServerClosed) {
    slog.Error("failed to start server", "error", err)
  }
}

// Handler
func hello(c echo.Context) error {
  return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!")
}

Official middleware repositories

Following list of middleware is maintained by Echo team.

RepositoryDescription
github.com/labstack/echo-jwtJWT middleware

Third-party middleware repositories

Be careful when adding 3rd party middleware. Echo teams does not have time or manpower to guarantee safety and quality of middlewares in this list.

# Functions

ExtractIPDirect extracts IP address using actual IP address.
ExtractIPFromRealIPHeader extracts IP address using x-real-ip header.
ExtractIPFromXFFHeader extracts IP address using x-forwarded-for header.
FormFieldBinder creates form field value binder For all requests, FormFieldBinder parses the raw query from the URL and uses query params as form fields For POST, PUT, and PATCH requests, it also reads the request body, parses it as a form and uses query params as form fields.
GetPath returns RawPath, if it's empty returns Path from URL Difference between RawPath and Path is: - Path is where request path is stored.
MustSubFS creates sub FS from current filesystem or panic on failure.
New creates an instance of Echo.
NewBindingError creates new instance of binding error.
NewHTTPError creates a new HTTPError instance.
NewResponse creates a new instance of Response.
NewRouter returns a new Router instance.
PathParamsBinder creates path parameter value binder.
QueryParamsBinder creates query parameter value binder.
StaticDirectoryHandler creates handler function to serve files from provided file system When disablePathUnescaping is set then file name from path is not unescaped and is served as is.
StaticFileHandler creates handler function to serve file from provided file system.
TrustIPRange add trustable IP ranges using CIDR notation.
TrustLinkLocal configures if you trust link-local address (default: true).
TrustLoopback configures if you trust loopback address (default: true).
TrustPrivateNet configures if you trust private network address (default: true).
WrapHandler wraps `http.Handler` into `echo.HandlerFunc`.
WrapMiddleware wraps `func(http.Handler) http.Handler` into `echo.MiddlewareFunc`.
