Fiber: 🌿 v1.12.x Changelog

[Fenny]

🔥 New
-

• ctx.Route().Params are now public https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/545 @zerbitx
• app.Settings.UnescapePath
  Converts all encoded characters in the route back before setting the path for the context, so that the routing can also work with urlencoded special characters https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/506
• Abstract fiber.Router interface for App & Group https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/476
• app.Settings.ReadBufferSize
  Per-connection buffer size for requests' reading. This also limits the maximum header size. Increase this buffer if your clients send multi-KB RequestURIs and/or multi-KB headers (for example, BIG cookies).
• app.Settings.WriteBufferSize
  Per-connection buffer size for responses' writing.
• app.Settings.Views
  We added a new template interface named Views, click here to see an example.
  _The old Template interface is still backward compatible but it does not support the new features_.
• Add Taiwanese translation https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/517
• c.Cookies(key string, defaultValue ...string) pass an optional default value that returns if cookie is not found https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/541
• c.Params(key string, defaultValue ...string) pass an optional default value that returns if param is not found https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/541
• c.Query(key string, defaultValue ...string) pass an optional default value that returns if query is not found https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/541
• Add more middleware test cases, coverage 84% https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/538

What about hyphens in routes? It was planned for V1.11.

[ReneWerner87]

@invipal in the last version we had put more focus on stability, user friendliness and performance, so the feature has been dropped

but it will come in the next versions, i will work on it in the next days

[Fenny]

@invipal hyphen support is now available v1.12.+

// http://localhost:3000/plantae/prunus.persica
app.Get("/plantae/:genus.:species", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
  c.Params("genus")   // prunus
  c.Params("species") // persica
})

// http://localhost:3000/flights/LAX-SFO
app.Get("/flights/:from-:to", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
  c.Params("from")   // LAX
  c.Params("to")     // SFO
})
