Fiber: How can I get the request headers inside my handler 🤔 ?

[Badrouu17]

let's say that I need authorization headers, on express node.js I would do something like :

handler = (req, res, next) => {
  let BearerToken = req.headers.authorization.split(' ')[1];
  next();
}

How can I do this with go fiber?

Hi @Badrouu17, Fiber almost uses the same API as Express. Please visit our docs for more information https://docs.gofiber.io/ctx#get

auth := strings.Split(ctx.Get("authorization"), " ")
if len(auth) > 1 {
  c.Locals("bearer", auth[1])
}
c.Next()

@Fenny. Thank you for responding quickly,
I think a better naming for this method would be "Headers()"
anyway keep up the good work guys 👏👏👏

No problem! Like I said before, our API is based on Expressjs. Minimalistic and simple for fast development http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#req.get.
