Basic example of running WebAssembly with Go

WebAssembly is a low-level, assembly-like language that brings near-native performance to browsers. WebAssembly allows developers to code in their familiar programming languages such as C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, and so on. The code is then compiled into the wasm binary format and can be executed in browsers .

mmap – an effective way of reading/writing large files

When operating with files in programming, we often read entire file content into physical memory. While writing the code doesn’t take much time, what happens behind the scenes is far more complex. During the process, your program has to invoke multiple system calls between buffers in kernel and user spaces back and forth which is considered inefficient. When reading a large file, mmap(memory-mapped file) is preferred in the terms of performance.

Echo frameworks context bind twice without losing data

Retrieve data from echo middleware, may cause you get code=400, message=EOF error.

Context.Bind only can bind once, after the request passed the middleware,the request data reader is running out, Context.Bind() function read request body data from the socket buffer, once you took it out, it just gone

that’s why it returns EOF error.

func main() {
    echoServer := echo.New()
    echoServer.POST("/api", webfunc1, middleware1)
    echoServer.Start(":8080")
}

func middleware1(next echo.HandlerFunc) echo.HandlerFunc {
    return func(c echo.Context) error {
        // read origin body bytes
        var bodyBytes []byte
        if c.Request().Body != nil {
            bodyBytes, _ = ioutil.ReadAll(c.Request().Body)
            // write back to request body
            c.Request().Body = ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewBuffer(bodyBytes))
            // parse json data
            reqData := struct {
                ID string `json:"id"`
            }{}
            err := json.Unmarshal(bodyBytes, &reqData)
            if err != nil {
                return c.JSON(400, "error json.")
            }
            fmt.Println(reqData.ID)
        }
        return next(c)
    }
}

func webfunc1(c echo.Context) error {
    reqData := struct {
        Data string `json:"data"`
    }{}
    c.Bind(&reqData)
    fmt.Println(reqData.Data)
    return c.HTML(200, "200 OK.")
}
