# [WIP] Overview
|
||||
# Application
|
||||
|
||||
Actix web provides some primitives to build web servers and applications with Rust.
|
||||
It provides routing, middlewares, pre-processing of requests, and post-processing of responses,
|
||||
websocket protcol handling, multipart streams, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Application
|
||||
|
||||
All actix web server is built around `Application` instance.
|
||||
It is used for registering handlers for routes and resources, middlewares.
|
||||
Also it stores applicationspecific state that is shared accross all handlers
|
||||
@ -23,178 +20,3 @@ has same url path prefix:
|
||||
|
||||
In this example application with `/prefix` prefix and `index.html` resource
|
||||
get created. This resource is available as on `/prefix/index.html` url.
|
||||
|
||||
### Application state
|
||||
|
||||
Application state is shared with all routes within same application.
|
||||
State could be accessed with `HttpRequest::state()` method. It is read-only
|
||||
but interior mutability pattern with `RefCell` could be used to archive state mutability.
|
||||
State could be accessed with `HttpRequest::state()` method or
|
||||
`HttpContext::state()` in case of http actor.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's write simple application that uses shared state. We are going to store requests count
|
||||
in the state:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
extern crate actix;
|
||||
extern crate actix_web;
|
||||
|
||||
use std::cell::Cell;
|
||||
use actix_web::*;
|
||||
|
||||
// This struct represents state
|
||||
struct AppState {
|
||||
counter: Cell<usize>,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest<AppState>) -> String {
|
||||
let count = req.state().counter.get() + 1; // <- get count
|
||||
req.state().counter.set(count); // <- store new count in state
|
||||
|
||||
format!("Request number: {}", count) // <- response with count
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
Application::build("/", AppState{counter: Cell::new(0)})
|
||||
.resource("/", |r| r.handler(Method::GET, index))
|
||||
.finish();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## [WIP] Handler
|
||||
|
||||
A request handler can by any object that implements
|
||||
[`Handler` trait](../actix_web/struct.HttpResponse.html#implementations).
|
||||
|
||||
By default actix provdes several `Handler` implementations:
|
||||
|
||||
* Simple function that accepts `HttpRequest` and returns any object that
|
||||
can be converted to `HttpResponse`
|
||||
* Function that accepts `HttpRequest` and returns `Result<Reply, Into<Error>>` object.
|
||||
* Function that accepts `HttpRequest` and return actor that has `HttpContext<A>`as a context.
|
||||
|
||||
Actix provides response conversion into `HttpResponse` for some standard types,
|
||||
like `&'static str`, `String`, etc.
|
||||
For complete list of implementations check
|
||||
[HttpResponse documentation](../actix_web/struct.HttpResponse.html#implementations).
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> &'static str {
|
||||
"Hello world!"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> String {
|
||||
"Hello world!".to_owned()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Bytes {
|
||||
Bytes::from_static("Hello world!")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Box<Future<Item=HttpResponse, Error=Error>> {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom conversion
|
||||
|
||||
Let's create response for custom type that serializes to `application/json` response:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
extern crate actix;
|
||||
extern crate actix_web;
|
||||
extern crate serde;
|
||||
extern crate serde_json;
|
||||
#[macro_use] extern crate serde_derive;
|
||||
use actix_web::*;
|
||||
|
||||
#[derive(Serialize)]
|
||||
struct MyObj {
|
||||
name: String,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/// we have to convert Error into HttpResponse as well, but with
|
||||
/// specialization this could be handled genericly.
|
||||
impl Into<HttpResponse> for MyObj {
|
||||
fn into(self) -> HttpResponse {
|
||||
let body = match serde_json::to_string(&self) {
|
||||
Err(err) => return Error::from(err).into(),
|
||||
Ok(body) => body,
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
// Create response and set content type
|
||||
HttpResponse::Ok()
|
||||
.content_type("application/json")
|
||||
.body(body).unwrap()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn main() {
|
||||
let sys = actix::System::new("example");
|
||||
|
||||
HttpServer::new(
|
||||
Application::default("/")
|
||||
.resource("/", |r| r.handler(
|
||||
Method::GET, |req| {MyObj{name: "user".to_owned()}})))
|
||||
.serve::<_, ()>("127.0.0.1:8088").unwrap();
|
||||
|
||||
println!("Started http server: 127.0.0.1:8088");
|
||||
actix::Arbiter::system().send(actix::msgs::SystemExit(0)); // <- remove this line, this code stops system during testing
|
||||
|
||||
let _ = sys.run();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If `specialization` is enabled, conversion could be simplier:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
impl Into<Result<HttpResponse>> for MyObj {
|
||||
fn into(self) -> Result<HttpResponse> {
|
||||
let body = serde_json::to_string(&self)?;
|
||||
|
||||
Ok(HttpResponse::Ok()
|
||||
.content_type("application/json")
|
||||
.body(body)?)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Async handlers
|
||||
|
||||
There are two different types of async handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
Response object could be generated asynchronously. In this case handle must
|
||||
return `Future` object that resolves to `HttpResponse`, i.e:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Box<Future<HttpResponse, Error>> {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This handler can be registered with `ApplicationBuilder::async()` and
|
||||
`Resource::async()` methods.
|
||||
|
||||
Or response body can be generated asynchronously. In this case body
|
||||
must implement stream trait `Stream<Item=Bytes, Error=Error>`, i.e:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```rust,ignore
|
||||
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse {
|
||||
let body: Box<Stream<Item=Bytes, Error=Error>> = Box::new(SomeStream::new());
|
||||
|
||||
HttpResponse::Ok().
|
||||
.content_type("application/json")
|
||||
.body(Body::Streaming(body)).unwrap()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both methods could be combined. (i.e Async response with streaming body)
