A simple package for quick bootstrapping of REST API creation in the Google App Engine Go environment. It's currently used in production on several sites.

Documentation forthcoming.

Testing handlers is easy

There are built-in test functions to make testing easy. For example:

import (
    "github.com/rubanbydesign/context"
    "github.com/rubanbydesign/rest"
)

type Foo struct {
    Bar string `json:"bar"`
}

func myHandler(ctx context.Context) error {
    return rest.JSON(ctx, http.StatusOK, &Foo{Bar: "foobar"})
}

func TestSomeHandler() {
    var f Foo
    r := TestPostJSON("/foo/bar", &f)

    assert.NoError(t, r.Do(myHandler))
    assert.NoError(t, r.Decode(&f))
    assert.Equal(t, http.StatusOK, r.Writer.Code)
    assert.Equal(t, "foobar", f.Bar)
}

If you need more control over the request, like custom headers, etc., then you can update it after creation and before calling Do():

func TestSomeHandler() {
    var f Foo

    r := TestPostJSON("/foo/bar", &f)
    r.Request.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer abc123")

    assert.NoError(t, r.Do(myHandler))
    assert.NoError(t, r.Decode(&f))
    assert.Equal(t, http.StatusOK, r.Writer.Code)
    assert.Equal(t, "foobar", f.Bar)
}
