Hi Vic, thankyou for the series of articles on this. I have couple of questions.

In the /go/routing.go sample there is

// Endpoint for PATH method
app.Path("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
  // function that replaces part of the existing data
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Should this be Patch? There doesn't seem to be a Path method in fiber/v2 and app.patch is also used by routing.js.

Also in /go/templates.go there is no mention of the module that needs to be imported for pug?

Hi,

Should this be Patch? [...]

Wow, nice catch! My bad... Thanks, I fixed it in article 👍

[...] Also in /go/templates.go there is no mention of the module that needs to be imported for pug?

Function for Pug (and other supported template engines) was included to gofiber/template module. Call it, like this: github.com/gofiber/template/pug.

I’ve been checking out VoIP phone lines for business and came across Sparta Telecom’s Business VoIP packages (spartatelecom.com/business-package/business-Phoneline). We’re thinking of switching because our current phone setup is clunky and expensive, and VoIP seems way more flexible - especially with remote working and call routing. I’ve also been reading up on how tools built on Go Fiber are often used to create fast and lightweight communication systems, which got me thinking about how much smoother VoIP could be with a proper fibre connection behind it. Has anyone here used Sparta Telecom’s VoIP service, and is the call quality actually solid? Easy to set up? Would love to hear real experiences before we make the jump. Cheers

I have a question of using Pug :
How to iterate on array/slice/map in Pug ?

For single values, we know the following will work :
h4= .Title
h4= .Message

This works too :
h4 #{.Title}
h4 #{ .Message}

But, how to use the usual pug syntax for iteration like the following ?
ul
each val in ["Java", "Go", "Rust", "C++", "FoxPro/Clipper"]
li= val

I have searched for this, but haven't found anywhere.

A pity the book is not coming, but the very good thing is, that you're willing to share.
(and written in an understandable way :-) )

Thanks for sharing and writing this blogposts.. as someone said earlier, it's a shame that the development of the book stopped, but I guess it's for a good reason. Keep it rolling! Thanks for the time invested :)

Amazing! Looking forward to the series. I have dabbled with Gin but have been looking to give Fiber a try. This series will be a great help.

A good post about fiber. I always find how to use fiber to create API's, I would like to ask if you will share how to use fiber to save html templates as well as static files.
