go-api

REST framework + OpenAPI SDK generation for the Lethean Go ecosystem.

Overview

go-api provides a Gin-based HTTP engine that subsystems plug into via the RouteGroup interface. Each ecosystem package (go-ml, go-rag, go-agentic, etc.) registers its own route group, and go-api handles the HTTP plumbing, middleware, response envelopes, WebSocket integration, and OpenAPI spec generation.

Quick Start

import api "forge.lthn.ai/core/go-api"

engine, _ := api.New(
    api.WithAddr(":8080"),
    api.WithBearerAuth("my-token"),
    api.WithCORS("*"),
    api.WithRequestID(),
    api.WithSwagger("My API", "Description", "0.1.0"),
)

engine.Register(myRoutes)
engine.Serve(ctx)

Implementing a RouteGroup

type Routes struct{ service *mypackage.Service }

func (r *Routes) Name() string     { return "mypackage" }
func (r *Routes) BasePath() string { return "/v1/mypackage" }

func (r *Routes) RegisterRoutes(rg *gin.RouterGroup) {
    rg.GET("/items", r.ListItems)
    rg.POST("/items", r.CreateItem)
}

func (r *Routes) ListItems(c *gin.Context) {
    items, _ := r.service.List(c.Request.Context())
    c.JSON(200, api.OK(items))
}

Features

  • Response envelopeapi.OK(), api.Fail(), api.Paginated() for consistent JSON responses
  • Middleware — Bearer auth, CORS, request ID generation, panic recovery
  • WebSocketWithWSHandler() mounts any http.Handler at /ws
  • Swagger UIWithSwagger() serves interactive API docs at /swagger/
  • Health check — Built-in GET /health endpoint
