The badge is optionally, of course, it is just a simple and fast way to support Iris. The badge is work of a third-party, taken from https://github.com/blob-go/blob-go which was published by our friend @clover113 and we loved it<3

common errors that new gophers may meet

type aliases

build error reason solution
undefined iris.Context caused of using the optional type alias iris.Context instead of the context.Context when building with Go 1.8 import the original package github.com/kataras/iris/context and declare as func(context.Context){}) or download and install the latest go version recommended

Type alias is a new feature, introduced at Go version 1.9, so if you want to use Iris' type aliases you have to build using the latest Go version. Nothing really changes for your application if you use type alias or not, Iris' type aliases helps you to omit import statements -- to reduce lines of code, nothing more.

Details...

Go version 1.9 introduced the type alias feature.

Iris uses the type alias feature to help you writing less code by omitting some package imports. The examples and documentation are written using Go 1.9 as well.

If you build your Go app with Go 1.9 you can, optionally, use all Iris web framework's features by importing one single package, the github.com/kataras/iris.

Available type aliases;

Go 1.8 Go 1.8 usage Go 1.9 usage (optionally)
import "github.com/kataras/iris/context" func(context.Context) {}, context.Handler, context.Map func(iris.Context) {}, iris.Handler, iris.Map
import "github.com/kataras/iris/mvc" type MyController struct { mvc.Controller } , mvc.SessionController type MyController struct { iris.Controller }, iris.SessionController
import "github.com/kataras/iris/core/router" app.PartyFunc("/users", func(p router.Party) {}) app.PartyFunc("/users", func(p iris.Party) {})
import "github.com/kataras/iris/core/host" app.ConfigureHost(func(s *host.Supervisor) {}) app.ConfigureHost(func(s *iris.Supervisor) {})

You can find all type aliases and their original package import statements at the ./context.go file.

Remember; this doesn't mean that you have to use those type aliases, you can still import the original packages as you did with Go version 1.8, it's up to you.

Active development mode

Iris may have reached version 10, but we're not stopping there. We have many feature ideas on our board that we're anxious to add and other innovative web development solutions that we're planning to build into Iris.

Can I find a job if I learn how to use Iris?

Yes, not only because you will learn Golang in the same time, but there are some positions open for Iris-specific developers the time we speak.

Go to our facebook page, like it and receive notifications about new job offers, we already have couple of them stay at the top of the page: https://www.facebook.com/iris.framework

Do we have a community Chat?

Yes, https://chat.iris-go.com
