Conditional middlewares

[2hamed]

I though it might be a good idea to make alice be able to apply middlewares based on conditions which the Request must satisfy.
For example some url paths need user authentication and some don't. It's a waste to apply the auth middleware to those as well.

Any idea on this?

You could have middleware that determines which middleware to run based on a pattern, which would effectively be a request router 😉

Well I'm using gorilla/mux as my router. I can't imagine how should I proceed from there?! On Mon, Jul 17, 2017 at 9:00 AM, Matt Silverlock <notifications@github.com> wrote:

Hi @2hamed,

Try something like this:

r := mux.NewRouter()
r.Handle("/about", alice.New(middleware1, middleware2).Then(aboutPage))
r.Handle("/contact", alice.New(middleware3, middleware4).Then(contactPage))

Gorilla mux can also match on headers, query values, etc., so this approach is pretty flexible.

Awesome, thanks.
