Mosaic middleware for Fiber enables building microservices for the frontend.
A <app-fragment> symbolizes a part of a template that can be served by a singular microservice. Thus, making a fragment the contract between different services and teams within a large engineering organization. The middleware concurrently fetches those parts from the service and replaces it in the template. It supports GET and POST HTTP methods to fetcht the content. Related resources like CSS or JavaScript are injected via the HTTP LINK entity header field. A <app-fragment> can occure in the body element or the header element. See Example to learn more about using fragments.
app-fragment is used to adhere to the HTML spec, the tag name must contain a dash ('-').
Tailor by Zalando is prior art for this middleware. Fragements by GitHub is prior art for this middleware created by @katallaxie.
A app-fragment will be hybrid-polymorphic (if this is a thing). On the server it is parsed and evaluate by the middleware. 🦄 In the browser it will be a web component that received data from the middleware (this is still work in progress

Import the middleware package this is part of the Fiber web framework.
package main
import (

"github.com/gofiber/template/html/v2"

)After you initiate your Fiber app, you can plugin in the fragments middleware. The middleware draws the templates for the fragments to load from the template engine. Thus it supports using all template engines supported by the Fiber team.
// Create a new engine
engine := html.New("./views", ".html")
// Pass the engine to the Views
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
})
// Associates the route with a specific template with fragments to render
app.Get("/index", fragments.Template(fragments.Config{}, "index", fiber.Map{}, "layouts/main"))
// this would listen to port 8080
app.Listen(":8080")<html>
<head>
<script type="fragment" src="assets"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Example</h1>
<app-fragment src="fragment1.html"></app-fragment>
</body>
</html>The example folder contains many examples. You can learn how to use a forward reference of content for fetching outer and inner content and replace either one.
