# Sapper ![](https://travis-ci.org/sappworks/sapper.svg?branch=master) 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](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_examples/tree/master/json_example), you can learn how to parse http parameters, and return json; Look into [mvc diesel demo](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_examples/tree/master/mvc_example), you can learn how to use database, how to render template, and how to redirect. [English Tutorial](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper/blob/master/docs/Tutorial-en.md) [中文教程](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper/blob/master/docs/Tutorial-cn.md) ## 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. ## Other Examples 1.

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 ```rust fn (&mut Request) -> Result<()>; // before plugin fn (&Request, &mut Response) -> Result<()>; // after plugin ``` can be thought as Sapper's middleware. Sample middleware: [sapper_query](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_query). ## TODO 1. [X] QueryParams (x-www-form-urlencoded); 2. [X] BodyParams (x-www-form-urlencoded); 3. [X] BodyJsonParams; 3.

[ ] Multipart; ## Middlewares - [sapper_query](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_query) parsing query string for req; - [sapper_body](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_body) parsing body parameters for req, including url form encoded, json type, json to struct macro; - [sapper_logger](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_logger) record request and caculate its time; - [sapper_session](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_session) a cookie plugin, and else supply a helper set_cookie function; - [sapper_tmpl](https://github.com/sappworks/sapper_tmpl) use tera to render template; ## Related Projects Thanks to these projects below: - [hyper](https://github.com/hyperium/hyper) Sapper is based on hyper mio branch; - [iron](https://github.com/iron/iron) Sapper learns many designs from iron; - [router](https://github.com/iron/router) Sapper steals router about code from it; - [recognizer](https://github.com/conduit-rust/route-recognizer.rs) Sapper uses this route recognizer; ## License MIT
