wai-routes: Typesafe URLs for Wai applications.

[ library, mit, network ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

Provides easy to use typesafe URLs for Wai Applications.

Sample usage follows (See examples/Example.hs in the source bundle for the full code) -

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings, TypeFamilies #-}

import Network.Wai
import Network.Wai.Middleware.Routes

import Data.IORef

-- The Site Argument
data MyRoute = MyRoute (IORef DB)

-- Generate Routes
mkRoute MyRoute [parseRoutes|
/             UsersR         GET
/user/#Int    UserR:
  /              UserRootR   GET
  /delete        UserDeleteR POST
|]

-- Define Handlers
-- All Users Page
getUsersR :: Handler MyRoute
getUsersR (MyRoute dbref) request = ...
-- Single User Page
getUserRootR :: Int -> Handler MyRoute
getUserRootR userid (MyRoute dbref) request = ...
-- Delete Single User
postUserDeleteR :: Int -> Handler MyRoute
postUserDeleteR userid (MyRoute dbref) request = ...

-- Define Application using RouteM Monad
myApp = do
  db <- liftIO $ newIORef mydb
  route (MyRoute db)
  setDefaultAction $ staticApp $ defaultFileServerSettings "static"

-- Run the application
main :: IO ()
main = toWaiApp myApp >>= run 8080

Wai Routes (wai-routes-0.3.3)

Build Status

This package provides typesafe URLs for Wai applications.

Features:

  • Automatic generation of Route boilerplate using TH
  • Easy Nested Routes
  • Sitewide Master datatype which is passed to all handlers and can be used for persistent data (like DB connections)
  • RouteM monad that makes it easy to compose an application with multiple routes and middleware.
  • HandlerM monad that makes it easy to build a Handler with access to Request data and Master datatype
  • Handlers can abort processing and pass control to the next application in the wai stack

It depends on yesod-routes package for the TH functionality (but not the rest of yesod). The aim is to provide a similar level of typesafe URL functionality to Wai applications as is available to Yesod applications.

Example Usage

The following builds a simple JSON service (using Aeson for JSON conversion)

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings, TypeFamilies #-}

import Network.Wai
import Network.Wai.Middleware.Routes

import Data.IORef

-- The Site Argument
data MyRoute = MyRoute (IORef DB)

-- Generate Routes
mkRoute MyRoute [parseRoutes|
/             UsersR         GET
/user/#Int    UserR:
  /              UserRootR   GET
  /delete        UserDeleteR POST
|]

-- Define Handlers
-- All Users Page
getUsersR :: Handler MyRoute
getUsersR (MyRoute dbref) request = ...
-- Single User Page
getUserRootR :: Int -> Handler MyRoute
getUserRootR userid = ...
-- Delete Single User
postUserDeleteR :: Int -> Handler MyRoute
postUserDeleteR userid = ...

-- Define Application using RouteM Monad
myApp = do
  db <- liftIO $ newIORef mydb
  route (MyRoute db)
  setDefaultAction $ staticApp $ defaultFileServerSettings "static"

-- Run the application
main :: IO ()
main = toWaiApp myApp >>= run 8080

Changelog

  • 0.1 : Intial release
  • 0.2 : Updated functionality based on yesod-routes package
  • 0.2.1 : Changed license to MIT
  • 0.2.2 : Fixed license information in hs and cabal files
  • 0.2.3 : Implemented a better showRoute function. Added blaze-builder as a dependency
  • 0.2.4 : Put an upper bound on yesod-routes version as 1.2 breaks API compatibility
  • 0.3.0 : yesod-routes 1.2 compatibility. Abstracted request data. Created runNext which skips to the next app in the wai stack
  • 0.3.1 : Removed internal 'App' synonym which only muddied the types. Added common content types for convenience.
  • 0.3.2 : Added HandlerM Monad which makes it easier to build Handlers
  • 0.3.3 : Better exports from the Network.Wai.Middleware.Routes module
