## Intro



Another Haskell web framework for rapid development. To get started with Spock, check our [tutorial](https://www.spock.li/tutorial/)

or take a look at our example project [funblog](https://github.com/agrafix/funblog)!

## Features



Another Haskell web framework for rapid development: This toolbox provides

everything you need to get a quick start into web hacking with haskell:



* fast typesafe routing

* middleware

* json

* sessions

* cookies

* database helper

* csrf-protection

* typesafe contexts

### Extensions



The following Spock extensions exist:



* Background workers for Spock: [Spock-worker](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Spock-worker)

* Digestive functors for Spock: [Spock-digestive](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Spock-digestive)

* Lucid for Spock: [Spock-lucid](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Spock-lucid)



### Works well with Spock



* User management [users](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/users)

* Data validation [validate-input](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/validate-input)

* Blaze bootstrap helpers [blaze-bootstrap](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/blaze-bootstrap)

* digestive-forms bootstrap helpers [digestive-bootstrap](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/digestive-bootstrap)



### SSL / HTTPS



If you'd like to use your application via HTTPS, there are two options:



* Use nginx/haproxy/... as reverse proxy in front of the Spock application.

* Convert the Spock application to a `wai`-application using the `spockAsApp`. Then use the `warp-tls` package to run it.



## Notes



Since version 0.11.0.0 Spock drops simple routing in favor of typesafe routing and drops safe actions in favor of the "usual" way of csrf protection with a token.



Since version 0.7.0.0 Spock supports typesafe routing. If you wish to continue using the untyped version of Spock you can Use `Web.Spock.Simple`. The implementation of the routing is implemented in a separate haskell package called `reroute`.



Since version 0.5.0.0 Spock is no longer built on top of scotty. The

design and interface is still influenced by scotty, but the internal

implementation differs from scotty's.
