Generating khatru
relays dynamically and serving them from the same path
Suppose you want to expose a different relay interface depending on the subdomain that is accessed. I don't know, maybe you want to serve just events with pictures on pictures.example.com
and just events with audio files on audios.example.com
; maybe you want just events in English on en.example.com
and just examples in Portuguese on pt.example.com
, there are many possibilities.
You could achieve that with a scheme like the following
go
var topLevelHost = "example.com"
var mainRelay = khatru.NewRelay() // we're omitting all the configuration steps for brevity
var subRelays = xsync.NewMapOf[string, *khatru.Relay]()
func main () {
handler := http.HandlerFunc(dynamicRelayHandler)
log.Printf("listening at http://0.0.0.0:8080")
http.ListenAndServe("0.0.0.0:8080", handler)
}
func dynamicRelayHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
var relay *khatru.Relay
subdomain := r.Host[0 : len(topLevelHost)-len(topLevelHost)]
if subdomain == "" {
// no subdomain, use the main top-level relay
relay = mainRelay
} else {
// call on subdomain, so get a dynamic relay
subdomain = subdomain[0 : len(subdomain)-1] // remove dangling "."
// get a dynamic relay
relay, _ = subRelays.LoadOrCompute(subdomain, func () *khatru.Relay {
return makeNewRelay(subdomain)
})
}
relay.ServeHTTP(w, r)
}
func makeNewRelay (subdomain string) *khatru.Relay {
// somehow use the subdomain to generate a relay with specific configurations
relay := khatru.NewRelay()
switch subdomain {
case "pictures":
// relay configuration shenanigans go here
case "audios":
// relay configuration shenanigans go here
case "en":
// relay configuration shenanigans go here
case "pt":
// relay configuration shenanigans go here
}
return relay
}
In practice you could come up with a way that allows all these dynamic relays to share a common underlying datastore, but this is out of the scope of this example.
