kun

kun is a communication toolkit for Go services. It concentrates on handling the communications between Go services, to free developers to focus on the business logic.

Ultimately, kun may support the following communication types:

In-process function call
RPC (e.g., HTTP and gRPC)
Asynchronous messaging
Cron Jobs

The Zen of kun

Focus on the most valuable things

Service communication is important, but is less important than the service itself (i.e., your business value).

Furthermore, it should be effortless to change the communication types.
Write code in Go whenever possible

Prefer Go to other DSLs (e.g., OpenAPI, Protocol Buffers or AsyncAPI) for service definitions.
Maintainability counts

Embrace the spirit of the Clean Architecture for non-trivial applications.

Quick Start

HTTP

NOTE: The following code is located in helloworld.

Define the interface

type Service interface {
    SayHello(ctx context.Context, name string) (message string, err error)
}

Implement the service

type Greeter struct{}

func (g *Greeter) SayHello(ctx context.Context, name string) (string, error) {
    return "Hello " + name, nil
}

Add HTTP annotations

type Service interface {
    //kun:op POST /messages
    SayHello(ctx context.Context, name string) (message string, err error)
}

Generate the HTTP code

$ cd examples/helloworld
$ kungen ./service.go Service

Consume the service

Run the HTTP server:

$ go run cmd/main.go
2020/09/15 18:06:22 transport=HTTP addr=:8080

Consume by HTTPie:

$ http POST :8080/messages name=Tracey
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 27
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 10:06:34 GMT

gRPC

NOTE: The following code is located in helloworldgrpc.

Define the interface

type Service interface {
    SayHello(ctx context.Context, name string) (message string, err error)
}

Implement the service

type Greeter struct{}

func (g *Greeter) SayHello(ctx context.Context, name string) (string, error) {
    return "Hello " + name, nil
}

Add gRPC annotations

type Service interface {
    //kun:grpc
    SayHello(ctx context.Context, name string) (message string, err error)
}

Generate the gRPC code

$ cd examples/helloworldgrpc
$ kungen ./service.go Service

Consume the service

Run the gRPC server:

$ go run cmd/main.go
2020/09/15 18:06:22 transport=HTTP addr=:8080

Consume by grpcurl:

$ grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"name": "Tracey"}' :8080 pb.Service/SayHello
{
  "message": "Hello Tracey"
}

See more examples here.

HTTP

Annotations

Define the HTTP request operation

Directive //kun:op

Syntax

//kun:op <method> <pattern>

If a Go method needs to correspond to more than one URI (or HTTP method), you can specify multiple //kun:op directives, which will produce multiple HTTP request operations.

Note that there are only three possible differences among these HTTP request operations:

HTTP method
URI
Path parameters (defined in URI)

Arguments

method: The request method.
pattern: The request URI.
- NOTE: All variables in pattern will automatically be bound to their corresponding method arguments (match by names in lower camel case), as path parameters, if these variables have not yet been specified explicitly by //kun:param.

Examples

Single operation:

type Service interface {
    //kun:op DELETE /users/{id}
    DeleteUser(ctx context.Context, id int) (err error)
}

// HTTP request:
// $ http DELETE /users/101

Multiple operations:

type Service interface {
    //kun:op GET /messages/{messageID}
    //kun:op GET /users/{userID}/messages/{messageID}
    GetMessage(ctx context.Context, userID string, messageID string) (text string, err error)
}

// See a runnable example in examples/messaging.

// HTTP request:
// $ http GET /messages/123456
// $ http GET /users/me/messages/123456

Define the HTTP request parameters

Directive //kun:param

Syntax

//kun:param <argName> [<parameter> [, <parameter2> [, ...]]]

If multiple method arguments are involved, you may need to apply multiple bindings. This can be done by adding a new //kun:param directive, or by appending the binding to the end of the last //kun:param directive in a semicolon-separated list.

Arguments

argName: The name of the method argument.
- Argument aggregation: By specifying multiple <parameter>s in a comma-separated list, multiple request parameters (each one is of basic type or repeated basic type) can be aggregated into one method argument (of any type).
- Blank identifier: By specifying the argName with a double underscore prefix __, the corresponding request parameter(s) will not be mapped to any method argument. See here for more details.
parameter: The definition of a single request parameter, to which the method argument will be mapped.
- Syntax: in=<in> name=<name> required=<required> type=<type> descr=<descr>
- Options:
  - in:
    - path: The request parameter is a path parameter.
      - Optional: All variables in pattern will automatically be bound to their corresponding method arguments (match by names in lower camel case), as path parameters.
    - query: The request parameter is a query parameter.
      - To receive values from a multi-valued query parameter, the method argument can be defined as a slice of basic type.
    - header: The request parameter is a header parameter.
      - To receive values from a multi-valued header parameter, the method argument can be defined as a slice of basic type.
    - cookie: The request parameter is a cookie parameter.
      - Not supported yet.
    - request: The request parameter is a property of Go's http.Request.
      - This is a special case, and only one property RemoteAddr is available now.
      - Note that parameters located in request have no relationship with OAS.
  - name: The name of the request parameter.
    - Optional: Defaults to argName (snake-case, or lower-camel-case if -snake=false) if not specified.
  - required: Determines whether this parameter is mandatory.
    - Optional: Defaults to false, if not specified.
    - If the parameter location is path, this property will be set to true internally, whether it's specified or not.
  - type: The OAS type of the request parameter.
    - Optional: Defaults to the type of the method argument, if not specified.
  - descr: The OAS description of the request parameter.
    - Optional: Defaults to "", if not specified.

Examples

Bind request parameters to simple arguments:

type Service interface {
    //kun:op PUT /users/{id}
    //kun:param name in=header name=X-User-Name
    UpdateUser(ctx context.Context, id int, name string) (err error)
}

// HTTP request:
// $ http PUT /users/101 X-User-Name:tracey

Bind multiple request parameters to a struct according to tags:

type User struct {
    ID   int    `kun:"in=path"`  // name defaults to snake case `id`
    Name string `kun:"in=query"` // name defaults to snake case `name`
    Age  int    `kun:"in=header name=X-User-Age"`
}

type Service interface {
    //kun:op PUT /users/{id}
    //kun:param user
    UpdateUser(ctx context.Context, user User) (err error)
}

// HTTP request:
// $ http PUT /users/101?name=tracey X-User-Age:1

Bind multiple query parameters to a struct with no tags:

type User struct {
    Name    string   // equivalent to `kun:"in=query name=name"`
    Age     int      // equivalent to `kun:"in=query name=age"`
    Hobbies []string // equivalent to `kun:"in=query name=hobbies"`
}

type Service interface {
    //kun:op POST /users
    //kun:param user
    CreateUser(ctx context.Context, user User) (err error)
}

// HTTP request:
// $ http POST /users?name=tracey&age=1&hobbies=music&hobbies=sport

Argument aggregation:

type Service interface {
    //kun:op POST /logs
    //kun:param ip in=header name=X-Forwarded-For, in=request name=RemoteAddr
    Log(ctx context.Context, ip net.IP) (err error)
}

// The equivalent annotations =>
// (using backslash-continued annotations)
type Service interface {
    //kun:op POST /logs
    //kun:param ip in=header name=X-Forwarded-For, \
    //             in=request name=RemoteAddr
    Log(ctx context.Context, ip net.IP) (err error)
}

// You must customize the decoding of `ip` later (conventionally in another file named `codec.go`).
// See a runnable example in examples/usersvc.

// HTTP request:
// $ http POST /logs

Multiple bindings in a single //kun:param:

type Service interface {
    //kun:op POST /users
    //kun:param name; age; ip in=header name=X-Forwarded-For, in=request name=RemoteAddr
    CreateUser(ctx context.Context, name string, age int, ip net.IP) (err error)
}

// The equivalent annotations =>
// (using backslash-continued annotations)

type Service interface {
    //kun:op POST /users
    //kun:param name; \
    //          age; \
    //          ip in=header name=X-Forwarded-For, in=request name=RemoteAddr
    CreateUser(ctx context.Context, name string, age int, ip net.IP) (err error)
}

// HTTP request:
// $ http POST /users?name=tracey&age=1

Define the HTTP request body

Directive //kun:body

Syntax

//kun:body <field>

or

//kun:body <manipulation> [; <manipulation2> [; ...]]

Arguments

field: The name of the method argument whose value is mapped to the HTTP request body.
- Optional: When omitted, a struct containing all the arguments (except context.Context), which are not located in path/query/header, will automatically be mapped to the HTTP request body.
- The special name - can be used, to define that there is no HTTP request body. As a result, every argument, which is not located in path/query/header, will automatically be mapped to one or more query parameters.
manipulation:
- Syntax: <argName> name=<name> type=<type> descr=<descr> required=<required>
- Options:
  - argName: The name of the method argument to be manipulated.
  - name: The name of the request parameter.
    - Optional: Defaults to argName (snake-case, or lower-camel-case if -snake=false) if not specified.
  - type: The OAS type of the request parameter.
