Use the jwt middleware from Fiber Contrib: import it, configure with your secret key, and apply to routes. It handles token validation and user extraction, as shown in the jwt README with example code.

Question 2

Fiber Contrib vs writing my own middleware?

Accepted Answer

Fiber Contrib saves time with pre-tested, standard components like Sentry or Swagger, but custom middleware is better for unique logic. Contrib is ideal for common features where reliability outweighs customization needs.

Use the swaggo middleware to generate docs from code annotations and swaggerui to serve them. Run 'swag init' on your project, then mount the middleware for automatic API documentation, as detailed in the swaggo README.

Question 5

Is Fiber Contrib production ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes, middlewares are community-vetted and come with CI badges showing test statuses, like those for casbin or zap. However, always review individual middleware stability and version compatibility for critical deployments.

Question 6

Can I use WebSockets with Fiber Contrib?

Accepted Answer
