I’m trying to real the url as #[get("/hello/<name>/<age>")]
for example if the user visited http://localhost:8000/hello/John/58
the output to be Hello, 58 year old named John!
I want to write it using standard libraries only, so I wrote the below:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"regexp"
"strconv"
)
var helloExp = regexp.MustCompile(`/hello/(?P<name>[a-zA-Z]+)/(?P<age>\d+)`)
func hello(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
match := helloExp.FindStringSubmatch(req.URL.Path)
if len(match) > 0 {
result := make(map[string]string)
for i, name := range helloExp.SubexpNames() {
if i != 0 && name != "" {
result[name] = match[i]
}
}
if _, err := strconv.Atoi(result["age"]); err == nil {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, %v year old named %s!", result["age"], result["name"])
} else {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Sorry, not accepted age!")
}
} else {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Wrong url\n")
}
}
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/hello/", hello)
http.ListenAndServe(":8090", nil)
}
It is working fine, and as expected, but I’m wondering if my approach is good or not, and if can be improved. Thanks
