Method Override

Method Override middleware reads the overridden method from the request and uses it instead of the original method.

Note

For security reasons, only the POST method can be overridden.

All core middleware lives in the middleware package:

import "github.com/labstack/echo/v5/middleware"

Usage

e.Pre(middleware.MethodOverride())

Custom configuration

e := echo.New()
e.Pre(middleware.MethodOverrideWithConfig(middleware.MethodOverrideConfig{
  Getter: middleware.MethodFromForm("_method"),
}))

The method can be sourced with MethodFromHeader, MethodFromForm, or MethodFromQuery.

Configuration

type MethodOverrideConfig struct {
  // Skipper defines a function to skip middleware.
  Skipper Skipper

  // Getter is a function that gets the overridden method from the request.
  // Optional. Default value MethodFromHeader(echo.HeaderXHTTPMethodOverride).
  Getter MethodOverrideGetter
}

Default configuration

DefaultMethodOverrideConfig = MethodOverrideConfig{
  Skipper: DefaultSkipper,
  Getter:  MethodFromHeader(echo.HeaderXHTTPMethodOverride),
}
