Run

You can run your vox application by simply calling the Run method:

app := vox.New()
app.Run("localhost:3000")

Now your application is listening on port 3000. The Run method accepts the same arguments as net/http.ListenAndServe.

Integrate with an existing HTTP server

If you already have an HTTP server in Go, you can integrate vox with it. This can help you migrate to and from vox.

Actually, vox.Application implements the net/http.Handler interface. So you can pass a vox.Application instance to any function that accepts a net/http.Handler, like http.Handle:

func rawHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
    io.WriteString(w, "Hello from a raw handler")
}

func voxHandler(ctx *vox.Context, req *vox.Request, res *vox.Response) {
    res.Body = "Hello from a vox handler"
}

func main() {
    var app = vox.New()
    app.Get("/vox", voxHandler)
    http.HandleFunc("/raw", rawHandler)
    http.Handle("/", app)
    http.ListenAndServe("localhost:3000", nil)
}
