Configuration
At the Host section we've learnt about the first input argument of the
app.Run, here we will take a look of what the second one is.Let's start from basics. The
iris.New function returns an iris.Application. This Application value can be configured through its Configure(...iris.Configurator) and Run methods.The second optional, varadiac argument of
app.Run/Listen method accepts one or more iris.Configurator. An iris.Configurator is just a type of: func(app *iris.Application). Custom iris.Configurator can be passed to modify yours *iris.Application as well.There are built-in
iris.Configurators for each of the core Configuration's fields, such as iris.WithoutStartupLog, iris.WithCharset("UTF-8"), iris.WithOptimizations and iris.WithConfiguration(iris.Configuration{...}) functions.Each "module" like the iris view engine, websockets, sessions and each middleware has its own configurations and options.
All of the
iris.Configuration fields are defaulted to the most common use cases. If you want to make use of a custom iris.Configurator at any point call the app.Configure(accepts iris.Configurator) method to pass your configurator(s) there.config := iris.WithConfiguration(iris.Configuration {
DisableStartupLog: true,
Optimizations: true,
Charset: "UTF-8",
})
app.Listen(":8080", config)
List of all available settings:
// Tunnel is the Tunnels field of the TunnelingConfiguration structure.

Using the
iris.YAML("path").File: iris.yml
FireMethodNotAllowed: true
DisableBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal: true
TimeFormat: Mon, 01 Jan 2006 15:04:05 GMT
Charset: UTF-8
File: main.go
config := iris.WithConfiguration(iris.YAML("./iris.yml"))
app.Listen(":8080", config)
Using the
iris.TOML("path").File: iris.tml
FireMethodNotAllowed = true
DisableBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal = false
TimeFormat = "Mon, 01 Jan 2006 15:04:05 GMT"
Charset = "UTF-8"

ServerName = "my fancy iris server"
ServerOwner = "[email protected]"
File: main.go
config := iris.WithConfiguration(iris.TOML("./iris.tml"))
app.Listen(":8080", config)
As we already mention, you can pass any number of
iris.Configurator in the app.Run/Listen’s second argument. Iris provides an option for each of its iris.Configuration’s fields.app.Listen(":8080", iris.WithoutInterruptHandler,
iris.WithoutBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal,
iris.WithoutAutoFireStatusCode,
iris.WithLowercaseRouting,
iris.WithPathIntelligence,
iris.WithOptimizations,
iris.WithTimeFormat("Mon, 01 Jan 2006 15:04:05 GMT"),
)
Good when you want to change some of the configuration's field. Prefix: "With" or "Without", code editors will help you navigate through all configuration options without even a glitch to the documentation.
List of functional options:
var (
WithGlobalConfiguration Configurator
WithoutStartupLog, WithoutBanner Configurator
WithoutInterruptHandler Configurator
WithoutPathCorrection Configurator
WithPathIntelligence Configurator
WithoutPathCorrectionRedirection Configurator
WithoutBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal Configurator
WithEmptyFormError Configurator
WithPathEscape Configurator
WithLowercaseRouting Configurator
WithOptimizations Configurator
WithFireMethodNotAllowed Configurator
WithoutAutoFireStatusCode Configurator
WithResetOnFireErrorCode Configurator
WithTunneling Configurator
)
func WithLogLevel(level string) Configurator
func WithoutServerError(errors ...error) Configurator
func WithTimeFormat(timeformat string) Configurator
func WithCharset(charset string) Configurator
func WithPostMaxMemory(limit int64) Configurator
func WithRemoteAddrHeader(header ...string) Configurator
func WithoutRemoteAddrHeader(headerName string) Configurator
func WithRemoteAddrPrivateSubnet(startIP, endIP string) Configurator
func WithSSLProxyHeader(headerKey, headerValue string) Configurator
func WithHostProxyHeader(headers ...string) Configurator
func WithOtherValue(key string, val interface{}) Configurator
func WithSitemap(startURL string) Configurator
The
iris.Configuration contains a field named Other map[string]interface{} which accepts any custom key:value option, therefore you can use that field to pass specific values that your app expects based on the custom requirements.app.Listen(":8080",
iris.WithOtherValue("ServerName", "my amazing iris server"),
iris.WithOtherValue("ServerOwner", "[email protected]"),
)
You can access those fields via
app.ConfigurationReadOnly.func (ctx iris.Context) {
cfg := app.Application().ConfigurationReadOnly().GetOther()
srvName := cfg["MyServerName"]
srvOwner := cfg["ServerOwner"]
}
