- 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.

Params from dynamic routes like `GET /users/:id` can be extracted like so
```rust
async fn handle(
req: Request<Body>,
// get a map of key value pairs
map: extract::UrlParamsMap,
) -> &'static str {

// or get a tuple with each param
params: extract::UrlParams<(i32, String)>,
) -> &'static str {
let (id, name) = params.into_inner();
// ...
}
```
Anything that implements `FromRequest` can work as an extractor where
`FromRequest` is a simple async trait:
`FromRequest` is an async trait:
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait FromRequest: Sized {
async fn from_request(req: &mut Request<Body>) -> Result<Self, Error>;
type Rejection: IntoResponse<B>;
async fn from_request(req: &mut Request<Body>) -> Result<Self, Self::Rejection>;
}
```
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.
be easy to 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:
The return type must implement `IntoResponse`:
```rust
async fn string_response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<String, Error> {
async fn empty_response(req: Request<Body>) {
// ...
}
// gets `content-type: text/plain`
async fn string_response(req: Request<Body>) -> String {
// ...
}
// gets `content-type: appliation/json`. `Json` can contain any `T: Serialize`
async fn json_response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<response::Json<User>, Error> {
async fn json_response(req: Request<Body>) -> response::Json<User> {
// ...
}
// gets `content-type: text/html`. `Html` can contain any `T: Into<Bytes>`
async fn html_response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<response::Html<String>, Error> {
async fn html_response(req: Request<Body>) -> response::Html<String> {
// ...
}
// or for full control
async fn response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, Error> {
async fn response(req: Request<Body>) -> Response<Body> {
// ...
}
// Result is supported if each type implements `IntoResponse`
async fn response(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Html<String>, StatusCode> {
// ...
}
```
This makes error handling quite simple. Basically handlers are not allowed to
fail and must always produce a response. This also means users are in charge of
how their errors are mapped to responses rather than a framework providing some
opaque catch all error type.
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()))
.get(send_some_large_file.layer(CompressionLayer::new()))
```
Or to the whole app:

# 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.
