Go Gorilla Mux "match anything" path template

Question

What is the proper syntax to create a simple "match anything" handler?

mux.NewRouter().StrictSlash(true).Path("/")....

The above code seems to strictly match / and /foo won't get matched

Answer 1

This should work:

route := mux.NewRouter().PathPrefix("/")

Bowdlerize

as per the docs, StrictSlash() has no effect when used with PathPrefix() – Bowdlerize

PathPrefix returns a Route, not a Router. – Joceline

Answer 2

You can use mux.Route.HandlerFunc together with mux.Router.PathPrefix:

r := mux.NewRouter()

// route catalog to catalogHandler:
r.HandleFunc("/catalog/{id}", catalogHandler) 

// route everything else to defaultHandler:
r.PathPrefix("/").HandlerFunc(defaultHandler)

Note the difference in names (HandlerFunc vs HandleFunc).
