Note
This page covers Echo v4. Echo v5 is also supported — see the Echo v5 documentation.
For an Echo server, you will want a configuration file such as:
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen/v2.8.0/configuration-schema.json
package: api
generate:
echo-server: true
models: true
output: gen.goFor instance, let's take this straightforward specification:
openapi: "3.0.0"
info:
version: 1.0.0
title: Minimal ping API server
paths:
/ping:
get:
responses:
'200':
description: pet response
content:
application/json:
schema:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/Pong'
components:
schemas:
# base types
Pong:
type: object
required:
- ping
properties:
ping:
type: string
example: pongThis then generates code such as:
// Pong defines model for Pong.
type Pong struct {
Ping string `json:"ping"`
}
// ServerInterface represents all server handlers.
type ServerInterface interface {
// (GET /ping)
GetPing(ctx echo.Context) error
}
// This is a simple interface which specifies echo.Route addition functions which
// are present on both echo.Echo and echo.Group, since we want to allow using
// either of them for path registration
type EchoRouter interface {
// ...
GET(path string, h echo.HandlerFunc, m ...echo.MiddlewareFunc) *echo.Route
// ...
}
// RegisterHandlers adds each server route to the EchoRouter.
func RegisterHandlers(router EchoRouter, si ServerInterface) {
RegisterHandlersWithBaseURL(router, si, "")
}
// Registers handlers, and prepends BaseURL to the paths, so that the paths
// can be served under a prefix.
func RegisterHandlersWithBaseURL(router EchoRouter, si ServerInterface, baseURL string) {
// ...
router.GET(baseURL+"/ping", wrapper.GetPing)
}To implement this HTTP server, we need to write the following code in our api/impl.go:
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)
// optional code omitted
type Server struct{}
func NewServer() Server {
return Server{}
}
// (GET /ping)
func (Server) GetPing(ctx echo.Context) error {
resp := Pong{
Ping: "pong",
}
return ctx.JSON(http.StatusOK, resp)
}Now we've got our implementation, we can then write the following code to wire it up and get a running server:
import (
"log"
"github.com/oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen/v2/examples/minimal-server/echo/api"
"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
)
func main() {
// create a type that satisfies the `api.ServerInterface`, which contains an implementation of every operation from the generated code
server := api.NewServer()
e := echo.New()
api.RegisterHandlers(e, server)
// And we serve HTTP until the world ends.
log.Fatal(e.Start("0.0.0.0:8080"))
}Note
This doesn't include validation of incoming requests.
