gzip

The gzip middleware provides Gzip compression to responses for Flame instances.

You can read source code of this middleware on GitHub and API documentation on pkg.go.dev.

Installation

go get github.com/flamego/gzip

Usage examples

You should register the gzip.Gzip before all other middleware or handlers that would write response to clients, and it works out-of-the-box with the default settings:

package main

import (
	"github.com/flamego/flamego"
	"github.com/flamego/gzip"
)

func main() {
	f := flamego.Classic()
	f.Use(gzip.Gzip())
	f.Get("/", func() string {
		return "Hello, Gzip!"
	})
	f.Run()
}

The gzip.Options can be used to further customize the behavior of the middleware:

package main

import (
	"github.com/flamego/flamego"
	"github.com/flamego/gzip"
)

func main() {
	f := flamego.Classic()
	f.Use(gzip.Gzip(
		gzip.Options{
			CompressionLevel: 9, // Best compression
		},
	))
	f.Get("/", func() string {
		return "Hello, Gzip!"
	})
	f.Run()
}
