Synopsis

Documentation

data Site url a Source

A site groups together the three functions necesary to make an application:

A function to convert from the URL type to path segments.
A function to convert from path segments to the URL, if possible.
A function to return the application for a given URL.

There are two type parameters for Site: the first is the URL datatype, the second is the application datatype. The application datatype will depend upon your server backend.

Constructors

Site

Fields

handleSite :: (url -> [(Text, Maybe Text)] -> Text) -> url -> a

Return the appropriate application for a given URL.

The first argument is a function which will give an appropriate URL (as a String) for a URL datatype. This is usually constructed by a combination of formatPathSegments and the prepending of an absolute application root.

Well behaving applications should use this function to generating all internal URLs.

formatPathSegments :: url -> ([Text], [(Text, Maybe Text)])

This function must be the inverse of parsePathSegments.

parsePathSegments :: [Text] -> Either String url

This function must be the inverse of formatPathSegments.

Instances

Functor (Site url)

setDefault :: url -> Site url a -> Site url aSource

Override the "default" URL, ie the result of parsePathSegments [].

runSite Source

Arguments

:: Text	application root, with trailing slash
-> Site url a
-> [Text]	path info, (call `decodePathInfo` on path with leading slash stripped)
-> Either String a

Retrieve the application to handle a given request.

NOTE: use decodePathInfo to convert a ByteString url to a properly decoded list of path segments
