}

stream, err := http.SSE(w, r)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
stream.Send("message", "hello")

stream, err := http.SSE(w, r)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
stream.Send("message", "hello")

Tips

Stack Logger, Recover, and Security middleware the way you would morgan + helmet in Express.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // chi or net/http
}
