Responses

Handlers return an httpx.Response. Helpers exist for common response types.


return httpx.NewJsonResponse(statuscode, data)
return httpx.NewTextResponse(statuscode, data)
return httpx.NewEmptyResponse(statuscode)
 
// and there is also a helper for some common status codes
/*
	Ok
	Created
	Accepted
	NoContent
	BadRequest
	Unauthorized
	Forbidden
	NotFound
	Conflict
	InternalServerError
 */
return httpx.JSON.Ok(data)
return httpx.JSON.Accepted(data)
return httpx.Text.Ok(data)
return httpx.Empty.NoContent()

A response writes itself to the http.ResponseWriter. JSON responses can also add headers using WithHeaders.

Custom Response

You can create a custom response by implementing the httpx.Response interface. This is useful if you need to return a specific format or additional metadata.


type Response interface {
	WriteTo(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) error
}
