GoKoa is a Koa styled web framework, which aims at reducing learning cost in grasping web development in Go for Node.js developers.

GoKoa is written in Go, which is beneficial to improving performance in handling HTTP requests.

1. Go >= 1.13

You can easily fetch the newest version of GoKoa by executing go get:

$ go get github.com/xiaojianzhong/gokoa

package main

import (
	"github.com/xiaojianzhong/gokoa"
)

func main() {
	app := gokoa.NewApplication(nil)

	app.Use(func(ctx *gokoa.Context, fn func() error) error {
		ctx.SetBody("hello gokoa")
		return nil
	})

	app.Listen(8080)
}

1. lack of event emitting, except for app.OnError()
2. not able to customize HTTP reason phrase (don't do that cause it breaks the best practice)
3. not able to bypass GoKoa's response handling (actually it is deprecated by Koa, too)
4. not able to access the socket related to a HTTP connection
5. lack of headerSent property

You can easily run unit tests by executing go test:

$ go test github.com/xiaojianzhong/gokoa
