Express → gox/http

Side-by-side patterns for common Express apps.

App setup

Express	gox/http
const express = require('express')	import goxhttp "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"
const app = express()	app := goxhttp.New()
app.listen(3000)	app.Listen(":3000")

Routes

Express	gox/http
app.get('/users', (req, res) => { ... })	app.Get("/users", func(c *goxhttp.Ctx) error { ... })
res.status(201).json({ id: 1 })	return c.JSON(201, map[string]int{"id": 1})
res.sendStatus(204)	return c.Status(204).JSON(204, nil)

Middleware

Express	gox/http
app.use(morgan('combined'))	app.Use(goxhttp.Logger())
app.use(cors())	app.Use(goxhttp.CORS(goxhttp.CORSOptions{AllowOrigins: []string{"*"}}))
app.use(helmet())	app.Use(goxhttp.Security())
app.use((err, req, res, next) => ...)	Return error from handlers; *err.AppError sets status

Body & query

Express	gox/http
req.body (json)	var body T; c.BindJSON(&body)
req.query	var q T; c.BindQuery(&q) (uses json struct tags)
req.params.id	c.Param("id")

Routers

Express	gox/http
const router = express.Router()	api := app.Router()
app.use('/api', router)	app.Mount("/api", api)

Errors (http-errors)

Express	gox/http + gox/err
next(createError(404, 'not found'))	return err.NotFound("not found")
next(err) default 500	Any other error → 500 JSON {"error":"..."}

Example

import (
    goxerr "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/err"
    goxhttp "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"
)

app := goxhttp.New()
app.Use(goxhttp.Logger(), goxhttp.Recover(), goxhttp.Security())

app.Get("/health", func(c *goxhttp.Ctx) error {
    return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"status": "ok"})
})

app.Post("/users", func(c *goxhttp.Ctx) error {
    var u struct{ Name string `json:"name"` }
    if err := c.BindJSON(&u); err != nil {
        return goxerr.BadRequest("invalid json")
    }
    return c.JSON(201, u)
})
