Handlers

A Handler is nothing but a function to handle the HTTP requests to the matching route.

Here is an example for a handler function to list users

#file: handlers/users.go

package handlers

import (
    "github.com/gocondor/core"
)

func ListUsers(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    //The logic for listing users
}

Organizing handlers

The best way to organize handlers is to think of them like controller's actions in MVC. You can simply group all handlers of the same resource in one file and prefix the name of the handler with the name of the resource like: CreateUsers, ListUsers and so on. here is an example: Imaging we are creating an app for handling todos, in this app we have users and todos here is how we can organize the handlers of both the users and the todos

1- The handlers of users related requests goes to the file handlers/users.go

#file: handlers/users.go

package handlers

import (
    "github.com/gocondor/core"
)

func CreateUsers(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    // the logic here...
}

func ListUsers(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    // the logic here...
}

func DeleteUsers(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    // the logic here...
}

1- the handlers of todos related requests goes to the file handlers/todos.go

package handlers

import (
    "github.com/gocondor/core"
)

func CreateTodos(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    // the logic here...
}

func ListTodos(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    // the logic here...
}

func DeleteTodos(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    // the logic here...
}
