README

Sapper

Sapper, a lightweight web framework, written in Rust.

Sapper focuses on ergonomic usage and rapid development. It can work with stable Rust.

Sapper now is based on hyper 0.10.13.

Tutorial

Look into json demo, you can learn how to parse http parameters, and return json;

Look into mvc diesel demo, you can learn how to use database, how to render template, and how to redirect.

Import

In Cargo.toml,

[dependencies]
sapper = "0.1"

Basic Example

Now, you can boot the example server with:

cd examples/basic/
cargo build
cargo run

and open the browser, visit

http://localhost:1337/

or

http://localhost:1337/test

or any other url to test it.

Features

  • Sapper supplies only basic framework;
  • Three level granularity (global, module, function handler) middleware controller and unified middleware presentation;
  • Typesafe abstraction, keep the same spirit with hyper;
  • For easy using, will supply some convenient macros to help write business logics;
  • Global object cross requests;

Philosophy

Typed, hierarchical control, and middlewares.

Typed

In Sapper, nearly every important thing is a Type. They are:

  • Each module is a type, different modules are different types;
  • Every middleware supplies some (0 to n) types for handler getting values;
  • Inherited from hyper's typed spirit, all headers, mime and so on should use types for manipulation.

Hierarchical Control

  • Sapper forces you to put router in each module (in main.rs, you can not write it, no space left for you to write);
  • Sapper forces you to seperate the router binding and the handler realization;
  • Sapper's plugin processor can be used in app level wrapper, module level wrapper, and each handler. These three level hierarchical controls make it flexible to construct your business.

Middlewares

Sapper's core contains only router system, request and response definitions, middleware system, and some other basic facilities. Nearly all practical features, such as query parameter, body parameter, cookie, session, json, xml, orm..., are supplied by the corresponding middlewares.

Sapper's middleware is very easy to write. One rust module realized a function on the prototype of

fn (&mut Request) -> Result<()>;  // before plugin
fn (&Request, &mut Response) -> Result<()>; // after plugin

can be thought as Sapper's middleware. Sample middleware: sapper_query.

TODO

  1. [X] QueryParams (x-www-form-urlencoded);
  2. [X] BodyParams (x-www-form-urlencoded);
  3. [X] BodyJsonParams;
  4. [X] Basic static file serving for dev;
  5. [X] Global object shared cross requests;
  6. [X] Macros;
  7. [ ] Multipart;

Middlewares

  • sapper_query parsing query string for req;
  • sapper_body parsing body parameters for req, including url form encoded, json type, json to struct macro;
  • sapper_logger record request and caculate its time;
  • sapper_session a cookie plugin, and else supply a helper set_cookie function;
  • sapper_tmpl use tera to render template;
