🆕 Changelog (Version 1.0.0)

• New Architecture: Macro System

Introduction of a complete macro system for generating HTTP responses

generate_response!: Central macro for dynamically creating customized HTTP responses. define_status!: Definition of new status codes with their associated descriptions. response_builder!: Generation of fluid builders for constructing complex responses. The macro system offers increased expressiveness and flexibility while significantly reducing verbosity.

• Response Model Redesign

Replacement of CustomResponse with the new HttpResponse

HttpResponse<T>: Generic structure allowing for strongly-typed response bodies. ResponseBuilder: Fluid API for progressive construction of HTTP responses. This redesign improves ergonomics and type safety while offering more flexibility.

• Native Integration of Asynchronous Traits

Complete support for modern Rust asynchronous patterns

AsyncResponder: Trait allowing Futures to be returned as HTTP responses. StreamResponse: Support for streaming response bodies for voluminous data. The asynchronous integration optimizes performance and reduces resource consumption.

📚 Updated Documentation and Examples

Complete documentation and new examples are available in the project's GitHub repository: (https://github.com/simbld/simbld-http/tree/main/examples)

New Examples

• Macro Usage: Demonstration of response generation via the new macros.
• Fluid API: Examples of using the builder API to construct complex responses.
• Asynchronous Patterns: Integration with Rust and Actix-Web asynchronous features.

🆕 Changelog (Version 0.4.1)

• New Feature: Unified Response Functions

Added functions returning (u16, &'static str) for all response families

invalid_date_of_birth, invalid_majority, invalid_marital_status, etc.:

Each function returns a tuple containing a status code and a description. The complete list of http codes (official and unofficial) is available in the file: (https://github.com/simbld/simbld-http/blob/main/THE_COMPLETE_LIST_OF_OFFICIAL_AND_UNOFFICIAL_HTTP_CODES.md)

• Improved Code Consistency

Standardized response functions across all families

All response families now include functions that return a tuple (u16, &'static str) for better consistency and ease of use.

Added helpers to create responses with mock data

mock_responses: Defines test responses to facilitate unit testing.

response_functions: Introduces the ResponseFunctions trait with methods to generate response functions.

• Miscellaneous Improvements

Code optimizations and minor bug fixes

• Updated Documentation

Examples and documentation have been updated to reflect the new features

🆕 Changelog (Version 0.2.1)

• New Feature: Cookie Management

Added helpers to include cookies directly in responses

ok_with_cookie: Generate an OK response with an attached cookie. bad_request_with_cookie: Generate a Bad Request response with an attached cookie.

• New Feature: Dynamic Headers

Added helpers to dynamically add custom headers in responses

ok_with_headers: Generate an OK response with custom headers. bad_request_with_headers: Generate a Bad Request response with custom headers.

• Middleware Improvement:

The middleware now adds

x-status-description: A description associated with the HTTP status code. x-response-time-ms: The request processing time in milliseconds.

🔧 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

use simbld_http::responses::ResponsesTypes;

let response = ResponsesTypes::Success(ResponsesSuccessCodes::Ok);
println!("Code: {}, Description: {}", response.get_code(), response.get_str("Description"));

Retrieve a Crawler Code

use simbld_http::responses::ResponsesCrawlerCodes;
use strum::EnumProperty;

fn main() {
    let code = ResponsesCrawlerCodes::ParsingErrorHeader;
    println!(
        "Code: {}, Description: {}",
        code.get_code(),
        code.get_str("Description").unwrap()
    );
}

Run the example with

cargo run --example examples_usage

Using the Middleware
