Check the full docs on tags usage [here](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-playground/validator#hdr-Baked_In_Validators_and_Tags). - -Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set `json:"fieldname"`. - -Also, Gin provides two sets of methods for binding: - -- **Type** - Must bind - - **Methods** - `Bind`, `BindJSON`, `BindXML`, `BindQuery`, `BindYAML`, `BindHeader`, `BindTOML` - - **Behavior** - These methods use `MustBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the request is aborted with `c.AbortWithError(400, err).SetType(ErrorTypeBind)`. This sets the response status code to 400 and the `Content-Type` header is set to `text/plain; charset=utf-8`. Note that if you try to set the response code after this, it will result in a warning `[GIN-debug] [WARNING] Headers were already written. Wanted to override status code 400 with 422`. If you wish to have greater control over the behavior, consider using the `ShouldBind` equivalent method. -- **Type** - Should bind - - **Methods** - `ShouldBind`, `ShouldBindJSON`, `ShouldBindXML`, `ShouldBindQuery`, `ShouldBindYAML`, `ShouldBindHeader`, `ShouldBindTOML`, - - **Behavior** - These methods use `ShouldBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the error is returned and it is the developer's responsibility to handle the request and error appropriately. - -When using the Bind-method, Gin tries to infer the binder depending on the Content-Type header. If you are sure what you are binding, you can use `MustBindWith` or `ShouldBindWith`. - -You can also specify that specific fields are required. If a field is decorated with `binding:"required"` and has an empty value when binding, an error will be returned. - -```go -// Binding from JSON -type Login struct { - User string `form:"user" json:"user" xml:"user" binding:"required"` - Password string `form:"password" json:"password" xml:"password" binding:"required"` -} - -func main() { - router := gin.Default() - - // Example for binding JSON ({"user": "manu", "password": "123"}) - router.POST("/loginJSON", func(c *gin.Context) { - var json Login - if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&json); err != nil { - c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) - return - } - - if json.User != "manu" || json.Password != "123" { - c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) - return - } - - c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) - }) - - // Example for binding XML ( - // - // - // manu - // 123 - // ) - router.POST("/loginXML", func(c *gin.Context) { - var xml Login - if err := c.ShouldBindXML(&xml); err != nil { - c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) - return - } - - if xml.User != "manu" || xml.Password != "123" { - c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) - return - } - - c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) - }) - - // Example for binding a HTML form (user=manu&password=123) - router.POST("/loginForm", func(c *gin.Context) { - var form Login - // This will infer what binder to use depending on the content-type header. - if err := c.ShouldBind(&form); err != nil { - c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) - return - } - - if form.User != "manu" || form.Password != "123" { - c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) - return - } - - c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) - }) - - // Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 - router.Run(":8080") -} -``` - -Sample request - -```sh -$ curl -v -X POST \ - http://localhost:8080/loginJSON \ - -H 'content-type: application/json' \ - -d '{ "user": "manu" }' -> POST /loginJSON HTTP/1.1 -> Host: localhost:8080 -> User-Agent: curl/7.51.0 -> Accept: */* -> content-type: application/json -> Content-Length: 18 -> -* upload completely sent off: 18 out of 18 bytes -< HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request -< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 -< Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2017 03:51:31 GMT -< Content-Length: 100 -< -{"error":"Key: 'Login.Password' Error:Field validation for 'Password' failed on the 'required' tag"} -``` - -Skip validate: when running the above example using the above the `curl` command, it returns error.

This has -a slight impact to performance, so you should not use this method if you are -enough to call binding at once. -2. This feature is only needed for some formats -- `JSON`, `XML`, `MsgPack`, -`ProtoBuf`. For other formats, `Query`, `Form`, `FormPost`, `FormMultipart`, -can be called by `c.ShouldBind()` multiple times without any damage to -performance (See [#1341](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/pull/1341)). - -### Bind form-data request with custom struct and custom tag - -```go -const ( - customerTag = "url" - defaultMemory = 32 << 20 -) - -type customerBinding struct {} - -func (customerBinding) Name() string { - return "form" -} - -func (customerBinding) Bind(req *http.Request, obj interface{}) error { - if err := req.ParseForm(); err != nil { - return err - } - if err := req.ParseMultipartForm(defaultMemory); err != nil { - if err != http.ErrNotMultipart { - return err - } - } - if err := binding.MapFormWithTag(obj, req.Form, customerTag); err != nil { - return err - } - return validate(obj) -} - -func validate(obj interface{}) error { - if binding.Validator == nil { - return nil - } - return binding.Validator.ValidateStruct(obj) -} - -// Now we can do this!!! -// FormA is an external type that we can't modify it's tag -type FormA struct { - FieldA string `url:"field_a"` -} - -func ListHandler(s *Service) func(ctx *gin.Context) { - return func(ctx *gin.Context) { - var urlBinding = customerBinding{} - var opt FormA - err := ctx.MustBindWith(&opt, urlBinding) - if err != nil { - ... - } - ... - } -} -``` - -### http2 server push - -http.Pusher is supported only **go1.8+**.

We currently support binding of JSON, XML, YAML, TOML and standard form values (foo=bar&boo=baz). + +Gin uses [**go-playground/validator/v10**](https://github.com/go-playground/validator) for validation. Check the full docs on tags usage [here](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-playground/validator#hdr-Baked_In_Validators_and_Tags). + +Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set `json:"fieldname"`. + +Also, Gin provides two sets of methods for binding: + +- **Type** - Must bind + - **Methods** - `Bind`, `BindJSON`, `BindXML`, `BindQuery`, `BindYAML`, `BindHeader`, `BindTOML` + - **Behavior** - These methods use `MustBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the request is aborted with `c.AbortWithError(400, err).SetType(ErrorTypeBind)`. This sets the response status code to 400 and the `Content-Type` header is set to `text/plain; charset=utf-8`. Note that if you try to set the response code after this, it will result in a warning `[GIN-debug] [WARNING] Headers were already written. Wanted to override status code 400 with 422`. If you wish to have greater control over the behavior, consider using the `ShouldBind` equivalent method. +- **Type** - Should bind + - **Methods** - `ShouldBind`, `ShouldBindJSON`, `ShouldBindXML`, `ShouldBindQuery`, `ShouldBindYAML`, `ShouldBindHeader`, `ShouldBindTOML`, + - **Behavior** - These methods use `ShouldBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the error is returned and it is the developer's responsibility to handle the request and error appropriately. + +When using the Bind-method, Gin tries to infer the binder depending on the Content-Type header. If you are sure what you are binding, you can use `MustBindWith` or `ShouldBindWith`. + +You can also specify that specific fields are required. If a field is decorated with `binding:"required"` and has an empty value when binding, an error will be returned. + +```go +// Binding from JSON +type Login struct { + User string `form:"user" json:"user" xml:"user" binding:"required"` + Password string `form:"password" json:"password" xml:"password" binding:"required"` +} + +func main() { + router := gin.Default() + + // Example for binding JSON ({"user": "manu", "password": "123"}) + router.POST("/loginJSON", func(c *gin.Context) { + var json Login + if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&json); err != nil { + c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) + return + } + + if json.User != "manu" || json.Password != "123" { + c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) + return + } + + c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) + }) + + // Example for binding XML ( + // + // + // manu + // 123 + // ) + router.POST("/loginXML", func(c *gin.Context) { + var xml Login + if err := c.ShouldBindXML(&xml); err != nil { + c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) + return + } + + if xml.User != "manu" || xml.Password != "123" { + c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) + return + } + + c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) + }) + + // Example for binding a HTML form (user=manu&password=123) + router.POST("/loginForm", func(c *gin.Context) { + var form Login + // This will infer what binder to use depending on the content-type header. + if err := c.ShouldBind(&form); err != nil { + c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()}) + return + } + + if form.User != "manu" || form.Password != "123" { + c.JSON(http.StatusUnauthorized, gin.H{"status": "unauthorized"}) + return + } + + c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"status": "you are logged in"}) + }) + + // Listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 + router.Run(":8080") +} +``` + +Sample request + +```sh +$ curl -v -X POST \ + http://localhost:8080/loginJSON \ + -H 'content-type: application/json' \ + -d '{ "user": "manu" }' +> POST /loginJSON HTTP/1.1 +> Host: localhost:8080 +> User-Agent: curl/7.51.0 +> Accept: */* +> content-type: application/json +> Content-Length: 18 +> +* upload completely sent off: 18 out of 18 bytes +< HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request +< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 +< Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2017 03:51:31 GMT +< Content-Length: 100 +< +{"error":"Key: 'Login.Password' Error:Field validation for 'Password' failed on the 'required' tag"} +``` + +Skip validate: when running the above example using the above the `curl` command, it returns error.

They can be IPv4 addresses, IPv4 CIDRs, IPv6 addresses or +IPv6 CIDRs. + +**Attention:** Gin trust all proxies by default if you don't specify a trusted +proxy using the function above, **this is NOT safe**. At the same time, if you don't +use any proxy, you can disable this feature by using `Engine.SetTrustedProxies(nil)`, +then `Context.ClientIP()` will return the remote address directly to avoid some +unnecessary computation. + +```go +import ( + "fmt" + + "github.com/gin-gonic/gin" +) + +func main() { + + router := gin.Default() + router.SetTrustedProxies([]string{"192.168.1.2"}) + + router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) { + // If the client is 192.168.1.2, use the X-Forwarded-For + // header to deduce the original client IP from the trust- + // worthy parts of that header. + // Otherwise, simply return the direct client IP + fmt.Printf("ClientIP: %s\n", c.ClientIP()) + }) + router.Run() +} +``` + +**Notice:** If you are using a CDN service, you can set the `Engine.TrustedPlatform` +to skip TrustedProxies check, it has a higher priority than TrustedProxies. +Look at the example below: + +```go +import ( + "fmt" + + "github.com/gin-gonic/gin" +) + +func main() { + + router := gin.Default() + // Use predefined header gin.PlatformXXX + router.TrustedPlatform = gin.PlatformGoogleAppEngine + // Or set your own trusted request header for another trusted proxy service + // Don't set it to any suspect request header, it's unsafe + router.TrustedPlatform = "X-CDN-IP" + + router.GET("/", func(c *gin.Context) { + // If you set TrustedPlatform, ClientIP() will resolve the + // corresponding header and return IP directly + fmt.Printf("ClientIP: %s\n", c.ClientIP()) + }) + router.Run() +} +``` + +## Testing + +The `net/http/httptest` package is preferable way for HTTP testing. + +```go +package main + +import ( + "net/http" + + "github.com/gin-gonic/gin" +) + +func setupRouter() *gin.Engine { + r := gin.Default() + r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) { + c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong") + }) + return r +} + +func main() { + r := setupRouter() + r.Run(":8080") +} +``` + +Test for code example above: + +```go +package main + +import ( + "net/http" + "net/http/httptest" + "testing" + + "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert" +) + +func TestPingRoute(t *testing.T) { + router := setupRouter() + + w := httptest.NewRecorder() + req, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/ping", nil) + router.ServeHTTP(w, req) + + assert.Equal(t, http.StatusOK, w.Code) + assert.Equal(t, "pong", w.Body.String()) +} +```
