An simple http library for Lunatic

Goal

This is a project for me to learn more about building http library in rust. If you are looking for more sophisticated solutions, check out the official web framework by lunatic submillisecond and the experimental http library Puck that is inspired by Phoenix Liveview.

Example

Defining http routes

/// Match on "/users/<uid>" where uid can be parsed into a u32
#[get("/users/<uid>")]
fn user_uid(uid: u32) -> HttpResponse {
    HttpResponse::builder()
        .header(
            "content-type".to_owned(),
            "text/html; charset=utf-8".to_owned(),
        )
        .body(format!("<h1>Hi there, uid of {}!</h1>", uid).to_owned())
        .finalize()
}

/// Match on "/users/<name>" where name could be anything
#[get("/users/<name>")]
fn user(name: &str) -> HttpResponse {
    HttpResponse::builder()
        .header(
            "content-type".to_owned(),
            "text/html; charset=utf-8".to_owned(),
        )
        .body(format!("<h1>Hi there, {}!</h1>", name).to_owned())
        .finalize()
}

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let router = Router::new()
        .mount(user_uid)?
        .mount(user)?
    Server::new(router)
        .bind("127.0.0.1:8080")?;
        .start();
    Ok(())
}
