This is *not* https://github.com/carllerche/tower-web even though the name is
|
|
|
|
|
the same. Its just a prototype of a minimal HTTP framework I've been toying
|
2021-06-01 00:34:09 +02:00
|
|
|
with. Will probably change the name to something else.

# What is this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- As easy to use as tide. I don't really consider warp easy to use due to type
|
|
|
|
|
tricks it uses. `fn route() -> impl Filter<...>` also isn't very ergonomic.
|
|
|
|
|
Just `async fn(Request) -> Result<Response, Error>` would be nicer.
|
|
|
|
|
- Deep integration with Tower meaning you can
|
|
|
|
|
- Apply middleware to the entire application.
|
|
|
|
|
- Apply middleware to a single route.
|
|
|
|
|
- Apply middleware to subset of routes.
|
|
|
|
|
- Just focus on routing and generating responses. Tower can do the rest.
|
|
|
|
|
Want timeouts? Use `tower::timeout::Timeout`. Want logging? Use
|
|
|
|
|
`tower_http::trace::Trace`.
|
|
|
|
|
- Work with Tokio. tide is cool but requires async-std.
|
|
|
|
|
- Not macro based. Heavy macro based APIs can be very ergonomic but comes at a
|
|
|
|
|
complexity cost. Would like to see if I can design an API that is ergonomic
|
|
|
|
|
and doesn't require macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Non-goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Runtime independent. If becoming runtime independent isn't too much then fine
|
|
|
|
|
but explicitly designing for runtime independence isn't a goal.
|
|
|
|
|
- Speed. As long as things are reasonably fast that is fine. For example using
|
|
|
|
|
async-trait for ergonomics is fine even though it comes at a cost.

# Example usage

|
|
NOTE: Error handling has changed quite a bit and these examples are slightly out
|
|
|
|
|
of date. See the examples for working examples.

Defining a single route looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
let app = tower_web::app().at("/").get(root);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
async fn root(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<&'static str, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
Ok("Hello, World!")
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding more routes follows the same pattern:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
let app = tower_web::app()
|
|
|
|
|
.at("/")
|
|
|
|
|
.get(root)
|
|
|
|
|
.at("/users")
|
|
|
|
|
.get(users_index)
|
|
|
|
|
.post(users_create);
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handler functions are just async functions like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
async fn handler(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<&'static str, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
Ok("Hello, World!")
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They most take the request as the first argument but all arguments following
|
|
|
|
|
are called "extractors" and are used to extract data from the request (similar
|
|
|
|
|
to rocket but no macros):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
#[derive(Deserialize)]
|
|
|
|
|
struct UserPayload {
|
|
|
|
|
username: String,
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#[derive(Deserialize)]
|
|
|
|
|
struct Pagination {
|
|
|
|
|
page: usize,
|
|
|
|
|
per_page: usize,
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
async fn handler(
|
|
|
|
|
req: Request<Body>,
|
|
|
|
|
// deserialize response body with `serde_json` into a `UserPayload`
|
|
|
|
|
user: extract::Json<UserPayload>,
|
|
|
|
|
// deserialize query string into a `Pagination`
|
|
|
|
|
pagination: extract::Query<Pagination>,
|
|
|
|
|
) -> Result<&'static str, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
let user: UserPayload = user.into_inner();
|
|
|
|
|
let pagination: Pagination = pagination.into_inner();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-05-31 16:32:56 +02:00
|
|
|
The inputs can also be optional:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
async fn handler(
|
|
|
|
|
req: Request<Body>,
|
|
|
|
|
user: Option<extract::Json<UserPayload>>,
|
|
|
|
|
) -> Result<&'static str, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-05-31 16:28:26 +02:00
|
|
|
You can also get the raw response body:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
async fn handler(
|
|
|
|
|
req: Request<Body>,
|
|
|
|
|
// buffer the whole request body
|
|
|
|
|
body: Bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
) -> Result<&'static str, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or limit the body size:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
async fn handler(
|
|
|
|
|
req: Request<Body>,
|
|
|
|
|
// max body size in bytes
|
|
|
|
|
body: extract::BytesMaxLength<1024>,
|
|
|
|
|
) -> Result<&'static str, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
Ok("Hello, World!")
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anything that implements `FromRequest` can work as an extractor where
|
|
|
|
|
`FromRequest` is a simple async trait:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
#[async_trait]
|
|
|
|
|
pub trait FromRequest: Sized {
|
|
|
|
|
async fn from_request(req: &mut Request<Body>) -> Result<Self, Error>;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-05-31 16:32:56 +02:00
|
|
|
This "extractor" pattern is inspired by Bevy's ECS. The idea is that it should
|
|
|
|
|
be easy to parse pick apart the request without having to repeat yourself a lot
|
|
|
|
|
or use macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dynamic routes like `GET /users/:id` is also supported.

|
|
|
You can also return different response types:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
async fn string_response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<String, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// gets `content-type: appliation/json`. `Json` can contain any `T: Serialize`
|
|
|
|
|
async fn json_response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<response::Json<User>, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// gets `content-type: text/html`. `Html` can contain any `T: Into<Bytes>`
|
|
|
|
|
async fn html_response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<response::Html<String>, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// or for full control
|
|
|
|
|
async fn response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, Error> {
|
|
|
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also apply Tower middleware to single routes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
let app = tower_web::app()
|
|
|
|
|
.at("/")
|
|
|
|
|
.get(send_some_large_file.layer(tower_http::compression::CompressionLayer::new()))
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or to the whole app:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
let service = tower_web::app()
|
|
|
|
|
.at("/")
|
|
|
|
|
.get(root)
|
|
|
|
|
.into_service()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
let app = ServiceBuilder::new()
|
|
|
|
|
.timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
|
|
|
|
|
.layer(TraceLayer::new_for_http())
|
|
|
|
|
.layer(CompressionLayer::new())
|
|
|
|
|
.service(app);
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And of course run it with Hyper:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
|
|
|
#[tokio::main]
|
|
|
|
|
async fn main() {
|
|
|
|
|
tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// build our application with some routes
|
|
|
|
|
let app = tower_web::app()
|
|
|
|
|
.at("/")
|
|
|
|
|
.get(handler)
|
|
|
|
|
// convert it into a `Service`
|
|
|
|
|
.into_service();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// add some middleware
|
|
|
|
|
let app = ServiceBuilder::new()
|
|
|
|
|
.layer(TraceLayer::new_for_http())
|
|
|
|
|
.service(app);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// run it
|
|
|
|
|
let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
|
|
|
|
|
tracing::debug!("listening on {}", addr);
|
|
|
|
|
let server = Server::bind(&addr).serve(Shared::new(app));
|
|
|
|
|
server.await.unwrap();
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

# TODO
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Error handling should probably be redone. Not quite sure if its bad the
|
|
|
|
|
`Error` is just an enum where everything is public.
|
|
|
|
|
- Audit which error codes we return for each kind of error. This will probably
|
|
|
|
|
be changed when error handling is re-done.
|
|
|
|
|
- Probably don't want to require `hyper::Body` for request bodies. Should
|
|
|
|
|
have our own so hyper isn't required.
|
|
|
|
|
- `RouteBuilder` should have an `async fn serve(self) -> Result<(),
|
|
|
|
|
hyper::Error>` for users who just wanna create a hyper server and not care
|
|
|
|
|
about the lower level details. Should be gated by a `hyper` feature.
|
|
|
|
|
- Each new route makes a new allocation for the response body, since `Or` needs
|
|
|
|
|
to unify the response body types. Would be nice to find a way to avoid that.
|
|
|
|
|
- It should be possible to package some routes together and apply a tower
|
|
|
|
|
middleware to that collection and then merge those routes into the app.
|
