GZIP gin's middleware

Gin middleware to enable GZIP support.

Usage

Download and install it:

go get github.com/gin-contrib/gzip

Import it in your code:

import "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"

Canonical example:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
  "time"

  "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression))
  r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix()))
  })

  // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
  if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}

Customized Excluded Extensions

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
  "time"

  "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression, gzip.WithExcludedExtensions([]string{".pdf", ".mp4"})))
  r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix()))
  })

  // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
  if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}

Customized Excluded Paths

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
  "time"

  "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression, gzip.WithExcludedPaths([]string{"/api/"})))
  r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix()))
  })

  // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
  if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}

Customized Excluded Paths with Regex

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
  "time"

  "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression, gzip.WithExcludedPathsRegexs([]string{".*"})))
  r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.String(http.StatusOK, "pong "+fmt.Sprint(time.Now().Unix()))
  })

  // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
  if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}

Server Push

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "log"
  "net/http"
  "time"

  "github.com/gin-contrib/gzip"
  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.Use(gzip.Gzip(gzip.DefaultCompression))
  r.GET("/stream", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.Header("Content-Type", "text/event-stream")
    c.Header("Connection", "keep-alive")
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
      fmt.Fprintf(c.Writer, "id: %d\ndata: tick %d\n\n", i, time.Now().Unix())
      c.Writer.Flush()
      time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
    }
  })

  // Listen and Server in 0.0.0.0:8080
  if err := r.Run(":8080"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}
