Walkthrough

The changes remove the previous mechanism for storing and retrieving a context.Context from the Fiber context, replacing it with direct implementation of the context.Context interface on fiber.Ctx. Four new methods (Deadline, Done, Err, Value) are added, with documentation and tests updated to reflect these changes and the limitations of the underlying fasthttp library.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
ctx.go, ctx_interface_gen.go Remove Context()/SetContext(context.Context); add Deadline, Done, Err, Value methods to fiber.Ctx.
ctx_test.go Remove tests for old context methods; add tests for new context interface methods and value retrieval.
middleware/timeout/timeout.go,
middleware/timeout/timeout_test.go
Update timeout middleware and its tests to use the new context interface directly on fiber.Ctx.
docs/api/ctx.md Update documentation to show fiber.Ctx implements context.Context, remove Context() docs, add examples.
docs/whats_new.md Add note that fiber.Ctx now implements context.Context with new methods and usage examples.

Poem

In Fiber’s code, a change takes root,
Contexts now are resolute!
No more juggling, no more fuss,
The interface is part of us.
Deadline, Done, and Value too—
Simpler flows for me and you.

43-43: Consider removing or clarifying the unused type.

Currently, contextKey is declared but not referenced. If it's intended for future use, consider adding explanatory comments or referencing it to avoid confusion and lint warnings.


1820-1829: Clarify distinction from standard context.

Value(key any) delegates to c.fasthttp.UserValue, which differs from typical context.Context scoping rules. If the goal is standard context.Context compatibility, document any differences or add disclaimers to prevent confusion.

ctx.go (3)

426-434: Confirm no-op behavior.

Deadline() intentionally returns no deadline (time.Time{}, false). Ensure this aligns with your design, as callers expecting real context.Context behavior might be surprised by the missing deadline support.


436-446: Confirm no-op behavior.

Done() intentionally returns nil, which omits the usual cancellation signals in a standard context.Context. Verify this is acceptable so that dependent callers won't assume actual cancellation mechanics.


472-482: Confirm no-op behavior.

Err() unconditionally returns nil, indicating no cancellation or deadline exceeded errors are signaled. Double-check that this matches your requirements for a partial context-like interface.

ctx_test.go (1)

2190-2255: Well-implemented tests for the new context interface methods.

The tests for the new context methods (Deadline(), Done(), Err(), and Value()) look good. They follow a consistent pattern and thoroughly verify that these methods implement the standard Go context.Context interface with the appropriate no-operation behaviors. The test cases are clear, concise, and maintain the same structure as other tests in the file.

ctx_interface_gen.go (5)

10-10: Import of "time" looks good
This import is presumably required to support the newly introduced context-deadline methods.


60-63: Validate Deadline() implementation
The documentation mirrors standard context.Context behavior. Please ensure that the implemented Deadline() method truly reflects the described functionality, including concurrency safety and proper deadline reporting.

Would you like a script to confirm the method’s actual implementation usage?


64-69: Check Done() channel consistency
The doc states it may return nil if the context can’t be canceled. Verify that this channel is properly closed and tested wherever timeouts or cancellations occur.


75-80: Clarify Err() behavior
Ensure that this reliably distinguishes between Canceled and DeadlineExceeded. If it’s effectively a no-op, clarify how and why.


331-337: Consider concurrency implications in Value(key any) any
Reading/writing local values across goroutines can cause data races. Confirm whether this method needs synchronization or is guaranteed to be single-threaded.

💡 Verification agent

❓ Verification inconclusive

Confirm fiber.Ctx implements context.Context
context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) expects a valid context.Context. If fiber.Ctx is intended to fully satisfy this interface, confirm at compile-time and runtime.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Attempt building the codebase to ensure no type mismatch errors.
go build ./...

Length of output: 209


Below is a new verification script to ascertain at compile time that the provided ctx (of type fiber.Ctx) indeed implements the context.Context interface:


Review Update: Verify fiber.Ctx Compliance with context.Context

Please ensure that the ctx you pass to context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) (located in middleware/timeout/timeout.go at line 22) is a valid context.Context. The above script creates a compile-time check for *fiber.Ctx to assert that it implements context.Context. If the script fails to build, you’ll need to either modify the code or explicitly convert/extract a proper context.Context from fiber.Ctx.


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Create a temporary directory for the compile-time check
mkdir -p temp_assert && cd temp_assert

# Write a small Go program that asserts fiber.Ctx implements context.Context.
cat > tmp_assert.go << 'EOF'
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
)

func main() {
	// Compile-time assertion: if *fiber.Ctx doesn't implement context.Context,
	// this line will cause a compilation error.
	var _ context.Context = (*fiber.Ctx)(nil)
	fmt.Println("fiber.Ctx implements context.Context")
}
EOF

# Initialize a temporary go module and fetch the fiber dependency.

# Attempt to build and run the temporary program.
go build tmp_assert.go && ./tmp_assert

Length of output: 1681


Update Required: Invalid Context for Timeout

Our verification shows that *fiber.Ctx does not implement context.Context (it's missing the Deadline method). That means the call to context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) in middleware/timeout/timeout.go (line 22) is passing an invalid argument.

  • In middleware/timeout/timeout.go, update the code so that a valid context.Context is provided. If available, consider using a method like ctx.Context() (if it returns a standard Go context) or use a fallback such as context.Background().
  • Example revision (if ctx.Context() yields a standard context):
    timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx.Context(), timeout)

Please ensure the revised context usage accurately reflects the intended behavior in your application.

43-43: Unused type declaration needs explanation.

The contextKey type is marked as unused with a nolint directive, with a comment that it's needed for future use. Since this was previously used for the Context() functionality that has been removed, consider adding more context about its future purpose or remove it entirely if it's no longer needed.


426-434: Implementation of context.Context interface: Deadline method

This method implements the Deadline() method from the standard context.Context interface but returns no deadline. The comment explains that this is a no-op due to fasthttp limitations, which is useful information for users.

Consider adding a link to discussions or issues explaining the design decision to implement the context.Context interface with no-op methods, which would help users understand why this approach was chosen over other alternatives.

436-446: Implementation of context.Context interface: Done method

This method implements the Done() method from the standard context.Context interface but returns nil, meaning this context can never be canceled. The comment correctly explains the limitations.

Good job providing clear documentation explaining the fasthttp limitations. This helps users understand why cancellation signals aren't supported.


472-482: Implementation of context.Context interface: Err method

This method implements the Err() method from the standard context.Context interface but always returns nil. The implementation aligns with the comment that this is a no-op due to fasthttp limitations.

The documentation is clear and matches the implementation.


1820-1824: Implementation of context.Context interface: Value method

This method implements the Value() method from the standard context.Context interface by retrieving values from the fasthttp UserValue store. This approach provides a working implementation for storing request-scoped values.

Unlike the other context methods, this one actually provides useful functionality rather than being a no-op. The implementation is simple and efficient.

ctx_interface_gen.go (3)

10-10: Added time package for context.Context interface

The time package was added to support the Deadline() method from the context.Context interface. This change is necessary and correctly implemented.


60-80: Interface declaration for context.Context methods

The Deadline(), Done(), and Err() methods have been added to the Ctx interface to match the standard context.Context interface. The documentation for these methods is comprehensive and follows the standard context package documentation.

These changes enable the Fiber Ctx interface to satisfy the standard context.Context interface, which improves compatibility with libraries expecting context.Context.


331-333: Interface declaration for Value method

The Value() method has been added to complete the context.Context interface implementation. The documentation is clear and explains that this method retrieves values scoped to the request.

This method provides a way to access request-scoped values, which is a key part of the context.Context interface. The implementation works with the Locals() method but provides context.Context compatibility.

Passing the original fiber.Ctx to context.WithTimeout does not propagate the timeout to the handler because the fiber.Ctx methods (Done, Deadline, Err) are no-ops. The handler runs against the unmodified Ctx and cannot observe cancellation. Consider injecting the derived timeoutContext into the Ctx (e.g., via a wrapper or reinstating SetContext) so handler calls to context methods reflect the timeout.

Suggested change
timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout)
defer cancel()
timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), timeout)
defer cancel()
// Inject the derived timeoutContext into the fiber.Ctx.
ctx.SetUserContext(timeoutContext)

22-22: Context interface implementation verified

The change from context.WithTimeout(ctx.Context(), timeout) to context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) is correct. The fiber.Ctx now implements the context.Context interface directly with the four required methods (Deadline, Done, Err, Value) as seen in the ctx.go changes.

43-43: Unused type should be cleaned up

The contextKey type is marked as unused but kept "for future". Consider removing it entirely to reduce code clutter, or add a comment explaining the specific future use case.

44-48: Grammar and clarity: add missing comma and pluralize 'no-ops'
The sentence here needs a comma after "However" and the term "nop" should be pluralized to "no-ops" for accuracy.
Proposed diff:

- `Context` implements `context.Context`. However due to [current limitations in how fasthttp](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/issues/965#issuecomment-777268945) works, `Deadline()`, `Done()` and `Err()` operate as a nop.

44-44: Test updates align with interface changes

The updates correctly pass the Fiber context c directly to sleepWithContext instead of extracting a standard context via c.Context(). This aligns with the new direct implementation of context.Context interface on fiber.Ctx.

Also applies to: 63-63, 84-84

ctx_interface_gen.go (1)

10-10: Import change supports new deadline functionality

Correctly changed from context to time package to support the Deadline() (time.Time, bool) method signature.

ctx.go (4)

426-446: Context methods implemented with documented limitations

The Deadline() and Done() methods are correctly implemented as no-ops with clear documentation about fasthttp limitations. This is technically correct for the context.Context interface.


472-482: Error method correctly implemented as no-op

The Err() method implementation is correct, returning nil as documented due to fasthttp limitations.


1820-1824: Value method provides access to fasthttp user values

The Value() method correctly delegates to fasthttp.UserValue(), effectively exposing the existing locals mechanism through the context interface. This maintains consistency with the existing Locals() method behavior.


426-482:

✅ Verification successful

Potential confusion due to limited context.Context implementation

While technically correct, the no-op implementations of Deadline(), Done(), and Err() could lead to subtle bugs when users expect full context.Context behavior (e.g., cancellation, timeouts). Consider adding runtime warnings or additional documentation.

Consider enhancing the documentation or adding compile-time assertions to make limitations more obvious:

+// Note: This implementation has significant limitations compared to standard context.Context:
+// - No cancellation support (Done() returns nil)
+// - No deadline support (Deadline() returns zero time)
+// - No error propagation (Err() returns nil)
+// Use with caution when passing to libraries expecting full context.Context behavior.
 func (*DefaultCtx) Deadline() (time.Time, bool) {
 	return time.Time{}, false
 }

Verify that the timeout middleware and other context-dependent code still work correctly with these limitations:


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for potential context usage that might expect full functionality
echo "Searching for context usage patterns that might be affected..."
rg -A 3 -B 3 "context\.(WithCancel|WithDeadline|WithTimeout)" --type go

# Check for any context.Done() usage
echo "Checking for context.Done() usage..."
rg "\.Done\(\)" --type go

# Look for context error handling
echo "Checking for context error handling..."
rg "context\.(Canceled|DeadlineExceeded)" --type go

Length of output: 8604


No changes needed for DefaultCtx’s context methods

The no-op behavior for Deadline(), Done(), and Err() is already clearly documented on each method. A search through the codebase shows that all timeout/cancellation logic uses standard context.Context (via context.Background/WithTimeout/etc.), not DefaultCtx, so there’s no unexpected breakage or hidden issues.

docs/api/ctx.md (2)

49-53: Documentation updated to reflect new context.Context methods
The signatures for Deadline, Done, Err, and Value correctly show that fiber.Ctx now implements the context.Context interface directly.


57-64: Example demonstrates passing fiber.Ctx as context.Context
This snippet clearly illustrates how fiber.Ctx can be used wherever context.Context is required. No changes needed.

ctx_test.go (4)

2190-2206: LGTM! Correct implementation test for Deadline().

The test properly verifies that Deadline() returns a zero time value and false, which is the expected behavior for a minimal context.Context implementation in an HTTP framework where deadlines are typically managed elsewhere.


2208-2222: LGTM! Correct implementation test for Done().

The test properly verifies that Done() returns a nil channel, which is appropriate for a minimal context.Context implementation. The type assertion syntax (<-chan struct{})(nil) correctly compares with the expected nil channel type.


2224-2238: LGTM! Correct implementation test for Err().

The test properly verifies that Err() returns nil, indicating no context error. This is consistent with the minimal context.Context implementation approach for HTTP contexts where error handling is managed through other mechanisms.


2240-2255: LGTM! Excellent integration of Value() with Fiber's Locals mechanism.

The test correctly verifies that Value() retrieves values stored via c.Locals(). This is a smart implementation that leverages Fiber's existing local storage system while providing the standard context.Context interface, maintaining compatibility with existing Fiber patterns.

🧩 Analysis chain

Breaking change: Interface now implements context.Context directly

The interface correctly implements the four required methods for context.Context:

  • Deadline() (time.Time, bool)
  • Done() <-chan struct{}
  • Err() error
  • Value(key any) any

However, this is a breaking change as it removes the previous Context() and SetContext() methods that allowed users to store/retrieve custom standard contexts.

Verify that this breaking change is properly documented in migration guides:

Also applies to: 331-333

Update documentation and migration guide for removed Context()/SetContext()

The generated ctx_interface_gen.go now implements context.Context directly and no longer provides Context() or SetContext() methods. This is a breaking change that needs to be clearly documented and all outdated references removed.

Please update the migration guide (e.g. docs/whats_new.md) and correct/remove references in the following files:

  • docs/middleware/timeout.md
    – usages of c.Context() in text and code samples
  • docs/extra/faq.md
    host.Fiber.Handler()(c.Context())
  • docs/client/request.md
    func (r *Request) Context()
    func (r *Request) SetContext(ctx context.Context)
  • docs/api/ctx.md
    func (c fiber.Ctx) SetContext(ctx context.Context)
    – sample calls to c.SetContext(ctx)

Ensure the migration notes explain how users should now access the standard context.Context (via direct embedding) and remove or replace any old patterns.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In ctx_interface_gen.go around lines 60 to 83, the interface now directly
implements context.Context by including Deadline, Done, Err, and Value methods,
removing the previous Context() and SetContext() methods. This is a breaking
change that requires updating the migration guide (e.g., docs/whats_new.md) to
document this removal and instruct users on the new usage pattern. Additionally,
remove or update all references to Context() and SetContext() in the
documentation files docs/middleware/timeout.md, docs/extra/faq.md,
docs/client/request.md, and docs/api/ctx.md to reflect this change and guide
users on accessing the standard context.Context directly.

@pjebs Are the concerns about timeout middleware valid? I believe they are.

The concerns about timeout are not valid.

timeoutContext, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) // ctx is fiber.Ctx
defer cancel()

timeoutContext will be a (unexported) context.timerCtx: https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.24.3:src/context/context.go;l=631
It will timeout only based on timeout value since ctx is a nop. This is by design.

47-47: Consider removing the unused contextKey type.

This type appears to be orphaned from the previous context implementation and is no longer needed after removing the Context() and SetContext() methods.

397-397: Use consistent formatting for the Ctx implementation bullet.

The entry currently reads:

- Context now implements [context.Context].

To match the style of other bullets and improve clarity, consider:

  • Referencing Ctx explicitly (e.g., Ctx instead of Context)
  • Wrapping context.Context in backticks rather than link text
  • Using bold for the subject as in other lines

For example:

- - Context now implements [context.Context].
+ - **Ctx** now implements `context.Context`.

402-404: Clarify no-op behavior for the new context methods.

The methods Deadline(), Done(), and Err() are implemented as no-ops due to fasthttp limitations, but the docs don’t currently mention this. To set proper expectations, append a short (no-op) note or equivalent. For example:

- - **Deadline**: For implementing `context.Context`.
- - **Done**: For implementing `context.Context`.
- - **Err**: For implementing `context.Context`.
+ - **Deadline**: (no-op) For implementing `context.Context`.
+ - **Done**: (no-op) For implementing `context.Context`.
+ - **Err**: (no-op) For implementing `context.Context`.

414-414: Enhance the Value method description.

To improve clarity and discovery:

  • Wrap Locals in backticks
  • Link to the API docs for Value()
  • Clarify that it reads from c.Locals

Suggested diff:

- - **Value**: For implementing `context.Context`. Returns request-scoped value from Locals.
+ - **Value**: Returns request-scoped values from `c.Locals`. See [API docs](./api/ctx.md#value) for details.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

430-438: Well-designed no-op implementation for Deadline().

The implementation correctly returns zero values to indicate no deadline support, which is appropriate given the fasthttp limitations documented in the comments.


440-450: Appropriate no-op implementation for Done().

Returning nil correctly indicates that this context cannot be canceled, which aligns with fasthttp's design constraints as documented.


476-486: Correct no-op implementation for Err().

Returning nil is appropriate since the context never enters an error state due to the no-op nature of cancellation in this implementation.


1836-1840: Excellent implementation of Value() method.

This correctly exposes the existing Fiber locals mechanism through the standard context.Context interface, providing seamless integration with Go's context ecosystem.
