Response is simple helper for rest api responses. The naming of api functions is: for setter Value and for getter GetValue (Only exception is String so we satisfy Stringer interface). Let's see some examples:

response.New(http.StatusOK).Write(w, r)

// or with default OK status

response.New().Write(w, r)
    

This writes following response to ResponseWriter (w).

{
  "status": 200,
  "message": "OK"
}

Response adds ability to add various data to response object. You can use method Data to set data or there are some shorthand for usual data keys.

response.New().Data("result", result).Write(w, r)

// or with a shorthand

response.New().Result(result).Write(w, r)

There is also shorthand to provide slice result that automatiaclly adds result_size.

response.New().SliceResult(result).Write(w, r)

response serves following shortcuts to create responses

• Data
• Error
• HTML
• Result
• SliceResult
• Write

Example:

result := map[string]string{}
response.Result(result)

Is the same as doing

result := map[string]string{}
response.New(http.StatusOK).Result(result)

or even

result := map[string]string{}
response.New().Result(result)
