For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@ReneWerner87, based on the open and closed issues in the gofiber/fiber repository, here are some suggested examples that might be valuable additions to the gofiber/recipes repository:

1. Parsing Form Data into Maps and Slices

   • Reference: Issue #3216
   • Description: Users are encountering issues when parsing form data into maps and slices using BodyParser. An example demonstrating how to correctly parse application/x-www-form-urlencoded data into Go maps, structs, and slices would be beneficial. This could include handling complex form inputs and nested data structures.

2. Implementing HTTP 103 Early Hints

   • Reference: Issue #3211
   • Description: With the proposal to add support for HTTP 103 Early Hints in Fiber, an example showcasing how to implement Early Hints to improve page load times would be helpful. This could demonstrate sending preliminary responses to clients to initiate resource preloading while the server prepares the final response.

3. Handling WebSocket Connections and Shared Data

   • Reference: Issue #3195
   • Description: There are questions about managing shared data across multiple WebSocket connections, especially when multiple clients are connected from the same browser instance. An example illustrating how to handle WebSocket connections, maintain state, and prevent data conflicts would be valuable.

4. Serving Multiple Frontend Frameworks with Fiber

   • Reference: Issue #3192
   • Description: Users are interested in serving frontend frameworks like Angular with server-side rendering (SSR) using Fiber. An example detailing how to integrate Fiber with Angular's SSR, possibly using a reverse proxy or middleware to handle SSR, would address this need.

5. Implementing Retry and Circuit Breaker Patterns in Proxy Middleware

   • Reference: Issue #3191
   • Description: An example demonstrating how to implement custom retry logic and circuit breaker patterns using Fiber's proxy middleware would be beneficial. This could help users enhance the reliability of their microservices by handling network failures gracefully.

6. Graceful Shutdown and Context Cancellation

   • Reference: Issue #3186
   • Description: There are concerns about context cancellation when running tests. An example showing how to handle context propagation and cancellation in Fiber applications, ensuring that resources are cleaned up properly during shutdown or testing, would be helpful.

7. Using Fiber with OpenAPI 3 (Swagger) Integration

   • Reference: Issue #3118
   • Description: Users are looking to integrate Fiber with OpenAPI 3 specifications using libraries like kin-openapi. An example demonstrating how to generate Swagger documentation from Fiber applications and how to validate requests against OpenAPI schemas would be beneficial.

8. Dynamic Route Management in Fiber

   • Reference: Issue #3098
   • Description: There's interest in dynamically adding and removing routes at runtime. An example that illustrates how to manage routes dynamically, leveraging Fiber’s app.Add() and app.Stack() methods, would help users who need flexible routing capabilities.

9. Custom Error Handling with Sentry Integration

   • Reference: Issue #3103
   • Description: Users have questions about capturing detailed stack traces with Sentry in Fiber applications. An example showing how to integrate Sentry for error monitoring, including custom error handlers that capture exceptions with full context, would be valuable.

10. Implementing Advanced Caching Strategies

    • Reference: Issue #3097
    • Description: There are proposals to enhance cache mechanisms in middleware. An example demonstrating advanced caching strategies, possibly with group keys or custom key generators using UUIDs, would assist users in optimizing their applications' performance.

These examples address common challenges and questions from the community and would make great additions to the recipes repository. They can help users better understand how to implement complex functionality in their Fiber applications.
