http-api capability

http-api adds a Chi-based REST API layer to your Go service, wired with production middleware from day one.

What You Get

Section titled “What You Get”
  • Chi router with full middleware chain (RequestID, RealIP, Recoverer, OTel)
  • RFC 7807 Problem Detail error responses
  • Pagination helpers
  • OpenAPI spec
  • Handler patterns with typed request/response structs

When to Use

Section titled “When to Use”
