The Iris Context has two methods that return the net/http standard http.ResponseWriter and http.Request values as we already mention at the previous chapters.
Context.Request()
Context.ResponseWriter()
However, except the unique Iris features and helpers that Iris Context offers, for easier development, we provide some wrappers of existing net/http capabilities as well.
This is the full list of methods that can help you when working with URL query string.
// URLParam returns true if the url parameter exists, otherwise false.URLParamExists(name string) bool// URLParamDefault returns the get parameter from a request,// if not found then "def" is returned.URLParamDefault(name string, def string) string// URLParam returns the get parameter from a request, if any.URLParam(name string) string// URLParamTrim returns the url query parameter with// trailing white spaces removed from a request.URLParamTrim(name string) string// URLParamTrim returns the escaped url query parameter from a request.URLParamEscape(name string) string// URLParamInt returns the url query parameter as int value from a request,// returns -1 and an error if parse failed.URLParamInt(name string) (int, error)// URLParamIntDefault returns the url query parameter as int value from a request,// if not found or parse failed then "def" is returned.URLParamIntDefault(name string, def int) int// URLParamInt32Default returns the url query parameter as int32 value from a request,// if not found or parse failed then "def" is returned.URLParamInt32Default(name string, def int32) int32// URLParamInt64 returns the url query parameter as int64 value from a request,// returns -1 and an error if parse failed.URLParamInt64(name string) (int64, error)// URLParamInt64Default returns the url query parameter as int64 value from a request,// if not found or parse failed then "def" is returned.URLParamInt64Default(name string, def int64) int64// URLParamFloat64 returns the url query parameter as float64 value from a request,// returns -1 and an error if parse failed.URLParamFloat64(name string) (float64, error)// URLParamFloat64Default returns the url query parameter as float64 value from a request,// if not found or parse failed then "def" is returned.URLParamFloat64Default(name string, def float64) float64// URLParamBool returns the url query parameter as boolean value from a request,// returns an error if parse failed or not found.URLParamBool(name string) (bool, error)// URLParams returns a map of GET query parameters separated by comma if more than one// it returns an empty map if nothing found.URLParams() map[string]string
Query string parameters are parsed using the existing underlying request object. The request responds to a url matching: /welcome?firstname=Jane&lastname=Doe.
