Walkthrough

The changes remove the previous mechanism for storing and retrieving a context.Context from the Fiber context, replacing it with direct implementation of the context.Context interface on fiber.Ctx. Four new methods (Deadline, Done, Err, Value) are added, with documentation and tests updated to reflect these changes and the limitations of the underlying fasthttp library.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
ctx.go, ctx_interface_gen.go Remove Context()/SetContext(context.Context); add Deadline, Done, Err, Value methods to fiber.Ctx.
ctx_test.go Remove tests for old context methods; add tests for new context interface methods and value retrieval.
middleware/timeout/timeout.go,
middleware/timeout/timeout_test.go
Update timeout middleware and its tests to use the new context interface directly on fiber.Ctx.
docs/api/ctx.md Update documentation to show fiber.Ctx implements context.Context, remove Context() docs, add examples.
docs/whats_new.md Add note that fiber.Ctx now implements context.Context with new methods and usage examples.

Poem

In Fiber’s code, a change takes root,
Contexts now are resolute!
No more juggling, no more fuss,
The interface is part of us.
Deadline, Done, and Value too—
Simpler flows for me and you.

43-43: Consider removing or clarifying the unused type.

Currently, contextKey is declared but not referenced. If it's intended for future use, consider adding explanatory comments or referencing it to avoid confusion and lint warnings.


1820-1829: Clarify distinction from standard context.

Value(key any) delegates to c.fasthttp.UserValue, which differs from typical context.Context scoping rules. If the goal is standard context.Context compatibility, document any differences or add disclaimers to prevent confusion.

ctx.go (3)

426-434: Confirm no-op behavior.

Deadline() intentionally returns no deadline (time.Time{}, false). Ensure this aligns with your design, as callers expecting real context.Context behavior might be surprised by the missing deadline support.


436-446: Confirm no-op behavior.

Done() intentionally returns nil, which omits the usual cancellation signals in a standard context.Context. Verify this is acceptable so that dependent callers won't assume actual cancellation mechanics.


472-482: Confirm no-op behavior.

Err() unconditionally returns nil, indicating no cancellation or deadline exceeded errors are signaled. Double-check that this matches your requirements for a partial context-like interface.

ctx_test.go (1)

2190-2255: Well-implemented tests for the new context interface methods.

The tests for the new context methods (Deadline(), Done(), Err(), and Value()) look good. They follow a consistent pattern and thoroughly verify that these methods implement the standard Go context.Context interface with the appropriate no-operation behaviors. The test cases are clear, concise, and maintain the same structure as other tests in the file.

ctx_interface_gen.go (5)

10-10: Import of "time" looks good
This import is presumably required to support the newly introduced context-deadline methods.


60-63: Validate Deadline() implementation
The documentation mirrors standard context.Context behavior. Please ensure that the implemented Deadline() method truly reflects the described functionality, including concurrency safety and proper deadline reporting.

Would you like a script to confirm the method’s actual implementation usage?


64-69: Check Done() channel consistency
The doc states it may return nil if the context can’t be canceled. Verify that this channel is properly closed and tested wherever timeouts or cancellations occur.


75-80: Clarify Err() behavior
Ensure that this reliably distinguishes between Canceled and DeadlineExceeded. If it’s effectively a no-op, clarify how and why.


331-337: Consider concurrency implications in Value(key any) any
Reading/writing local values across goroutines can cause data races. Confirm whether this method needs synchronization or is guaranteed to be single-threaded.

middleware/timeout/timeout_test.go (1)

44-44: Ensure sleepWithContext receives a valid context.Context
Replacing c.Context() with c implies that fiber.Ctx must implement the standard context.Context. Confirm that all tests pass and that no unexpected type assertions fail.

Also applies to: 63-63, 84-84

// Create a context with the specified timeout; any operation exceeding
// this deadline will be canceled automatically.
timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx.Context(), timeout)
timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout)

💡 Verification agent

❓ Verification inconclusive

Confirm fiber.Ctx implements context.Context
context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) expects a valid context.Context. If fiber.Ctx is intended to fully satisfy this interface, confirm at compile-time and runtime.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Attempt building the codebase to ensure no type mismatch errors.
go build ./...

Length of output: 209


Below is a new verification script to ascertain at compile time that the provided ctx (of type fiber.Ctx) indeed implements the context.Context interface:


Review Update: Verify fiber.Ctx Compliance with context.Context

Please ensure that the ctx you pass to context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) (located in middleware/timeout/timeout.go at line 22) is a valid context.Context. The above script creates a compile-time check for *fiber.Ctx to assert that it implements context.Context. If the script fails to build, you’ll need to either modify the code or explicitly convert/extract a proper context.Context from fiber.Ctx.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Create a temporary directory for the compile-time check
mkdir -p temp_assert && cd temp_assert

# Write a small Go program that asserts fiber.Ctx implements context.Context.
cat > tmp_assert.go << 'EOF'
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
)

func main() {
	// Compile-time assertion: if *fiber.Ctx doesn't implement context.Context,
	// this line will cause a compilation error.
	var _ context.Context = (*fiber.Ctx)(nil)
	fmt.Println("fiber.Ctx implements context.Context")
}
EOF

# Initialize a temporary go module and fetch the fiber dependency.
go mod init temp_assert_module
go get github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2

# Attempt to build and run the temporary program.
go build tmp_assert.go && ./tmp_assert

Length of output: 1681


Update Required: Invalid Context for Timeout

Our verification shows that *fiber.Ctx does not implement context.Context (it's missing the Deadline method). That means the call to context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) in middleware/timeout/timeout.go (line 22) is passing an invalid argument.

  • In middleware/timeout/timeout.go, update the code so that a valid context.Context is provided. If available, consider using a method like ctx.Context() (if it returns a standard Go context) or use a fallback such as context.Background().
  • Example revision (if ctx.Context() yields a standard context):
    timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx.Context(), timeout)

Please ensure the revised context usage accurately reflects the intended behavior in your application.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
ctx.go (2)

43-43: Unused type declaration needs explanation.

The contextKey type is marked as unused with a nolint directive, with a comment that it's needed for future use. Since this was previously used for the Context() functionality that has been removed, consider adding more context about its future purpose or remove it entirely if it's no longer needed.


426-434: Implementation of context.Context interface: Deadline method

This method implements the Deadline() method from the standard context.Context interface but returns no deadline. The comment explains that this is a no-op due to fasthttp limitations, which is useful information for users.

Consider adding a link to discussions or issues explaining the design decision to implement the context.Context interface with no-op methods, which would help users understand why this approach was chosen over other alternatives.

436-446: Implementation of context.Context interface: Done method

This method implements the Done() method from the standard context.Context interface but returns nil, meaning this context can never be canceled. The comment correctly explains the limitations.

Good job providing clear documentation explaining the fasthttp limitations. This helps users understand why cancellation signals aren't supported.


472-482: Implementation of context.Context interface: Err method

This method implements the Err() method from the standard context.Context interface but always returns nil. The implementation aligns with the comment that this is a no-op due to fasthttp limitations.

The documentation is clear and matches the implementation.


1820-1824: Implementation of context.Context interface: Value method

This method implements the Value() method from the standard context.Context interface by retrieving values from the fasthttp UserValue store. This approach provides a working implementation for storing request-scoped values.

Unlike the other context methods, this one actually provides useful functionality rather than being a no-op. The implementation is simple and efficient.

ctx_interface_gen.go (3)

10-10: Added time package for context.Context interface

The time package was added to support the Deadline() method from the context.Context interface. This change is necessary and correctly implemented.


60-80: Interface declaration for context.Context methods

The Deadline(), Done(), and Err() methods have been added to the Ctx interface to match the standard context.Context interface. The documentation for these methods is comprehensive and follows the standard context package documentation.

These changes enable the Fiber Ctx interface to satisfy the standard context.Context interface, which improves compatibility with libraries expecting context.Context.


331-333: Interface declaration for Value method

The Value() method has been added to complete the context.Context interface implementation. The documentation is clear and explains that this method retrieves values scoped to the request.

This method provides a way to access request-scoped values, which is a key part of the context.Context interface. The implementation works with the Locals() method but provides context.Context compatibility.

  • The removal of updating the Fiber context with the timeout-bound context may lead to unexpected behavior if downstream handlers depend on the updated context. Please confirm that this change is intentional and that all affected handlers are adjusted accordingly.
ctx.SetContext(timeoutContext)

middleware/requestid/requestid_test.go:73

  • The removal of the 'From context.Context' test case reduces coverage of context-based request ID extraction. Please ensure that either this functionality is no longer supported or that alternative tests are provided to cover the desired behavior.
