GopherLight v0.2 Release Notes

🚀 GopherLight v0.2 - Enhanced Routing and Middleware Support!

We are excited to announce the second version of GopherLight, bringing more flexibility and features to our lightweight Go framework. With this update, you’ll experience a more powerful routing system and the addition of convenient middleware to streamline your development process.

🎯 Additions

• Support for Multiple HTTP Methods: GopherLight now allows routing for various HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and more. You can define routes for each specific method, increasing flexibility in handling requests.

app.Route("POST", "/submit", func(r *req.Request, w *req.Response) {
    w.Send("Data received!")
})

• Logging Middleware: Automatically log the start and completion time of each request, making it easier to debug and monitor the behavior of your app.

• Timeout Middleware: Prevent long-running requests from blocking your application with the newly introduced timeout middleware. You can set time limits for your request handling.
  

app.Use(middleware.LoggingMiddleware)
app.Use(middleware.TimeoutMiddleware(2 * time.Second))

🛠️ Improvements

• HTTP Method Validation: We've implemented stricter validation for HTTP methods. Now, your routes will only respond to the defined methods, ensuring security and better management of requests.

  🔄 Changes

• Route Function Refactoring: The route function has been restructured to handle multiple HTTP methods efficiently, improving performance and code clarity.

• Documentation Update: The documentation has been updated to reflect all the new features, including detailed examples of how to utilize multiple HTTP methods and middleware in your application.

  🚀 What’s Next?

• Enhanced error handling and better integration with third-party services.
  Middleware for authentication and CSRF protection.
