go http handler func can be converted implicitly

content

  • in Go, we define a http handler like:
func timeHandler(format string) http.Handler {
	return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		tm := time.Now().Format(format)
		w.Write([]byte("The time is: " + tm))
	})
}
  • which is the same as below (below code uses implicit conversion)
func timeHandler(format string) http.HandlerFunc {
	return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		tm := time.Now().Format(format)
		w.Write([]byte("The time is: " + tm))
	}
}
