pREST was developed with the possibility of using it as a web framework, being able to use it based on its API, you create new endpoints and place middleware, adapting the pREST to your need.

Sample Hello World

In order to create custom modules for pREST you need extends the router and register the custom new routes.

package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/prest/prest/adapters/postgres"
	"github.com/prest/prest/cmd"
	"github.com/prest/prest/config"
	"github.com/prest/prest/config/router"
	"github.com/prest/prest/middlewares"
)

func main() {
	config.Load()

	// Load Postgres Adapter
	postgres.Load()

	// Get pREST app
	middlewares.GetApp()

	// Get pPREST router
	r := router.Get()

	// Register custom routes
	r.HandleFunc("/ping", Pong).Methods("GET")

	// Call pREST cmd
	cmd.Execute()
}

func Pong(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	w.Write([]byte("Pong!"))
}
