# Bix
> the "**_Bix_**" name is just a _codename_ for now (until I decide it's good to go).
> ## Templates
>
> `dotnet new --install Bix.Templates::*`
>
> - `dotnet new bix.bun -o BunProject`
> - `dotnet new bix.cloudflare -o CloudFlareWorker`
> - `dotnet new bix.deno -o DenoProject`
An F# microframework that provides a router and http handler abstractions for web frameworks that work with a `Request -> Response` http server model.
Examples of runtimes that work with this model:
- [Bun.sh] -> [Fable.Bun] + Bix.Bun
- [Deno] -> [Fable.Deno] + Bix.Deno
- Service Workers
- [Cloudflare Workers] -> Bix.Cloudflare
- Browser Service Worker
This microframework is heavily inspired by [Giraffe], and [Saturn] frameworks from F# land so if you have ever used that server model then Bix will feel fairly similar.
An hypotetical example could be like the following code:
```fsharp
// define a function that takes HttpHandlers to satisfy existing handler constrains
let authenticateOrRedirect (authenticatedRoute: HttpHandler, notAuthenticatedRoute: HttpHandler) =
Handlers.authenticateUser
authenticatedRoute
notAuthenticatedRoute
// compose different handlers for code reusability
// and granular control of handler execution
let checkAdminCredentials successRoute =
authenticateOrRedirect (successRoute, Admin.Login)
>=> Handlers.requiresAdmin
let checkUserCredentials successRoute =
authenticateOrRedirect (successRoute, Views.Login)
>=> Handlers.requiresUserOrAbove
// define routes for this application
let routes =
// check the Cloud flare Worker sample/tempalte to see other router options
// basic, giraffe, and saturn like
Router.Empty
|> Router.get("/", authenticateOrRedirect >=> Views.Landing)
|> Router.get ("/login", authenticateOrRedirect >=> Views.Login)
|> Router.get ("/me", checkUserCredentials(Views.Login))
|> Router.get ("/portal", checkUserCredentials(Views.Portal))
|> Router.get ("/admin", checkAdminCredentials(Admin.Portal))
|> Router.post ("/users", checkAdminCredentials(Api.Users.Create >=> negotiateContent))
|> Router.patch ("/users/:id", checkAdminCredentials(Api.Users.Update >=> negotiateContent))
// Start the web server
Server.Empty
|> Server.withPort 5000
|> Server.withDevelopment true
|> Server.withRouter routes
|> Server.run
```
The idea is to create simple and single purposed functions that work like middleware so you can organize and re-use
## Adapters
Bix currently has two adapters
- Bix.Deno
- Bix.Bun
Adapters under investigation:
- Bix.ServiceWorker
- Bix.CloudflareWorker
# Development
This project is developed with VSCode in Linux/Windows/WSL but either rider, and visual studio should work just fine.
## Requirements
- .NET6 and above - https://get.dot.net
- Bun - [bun.sh] - (in case of running bun)
- Deno - [deno] - (in case of running deno)
## Try the samples
Depending on what you want to try change the directory to your selected sample, example: `cd samples/Bix.Bun.Sample` and run one of the following commands
1. `dotnet tool restore` (run once per clone)
2. start the project
- `bun start`
- `deno task start`
both commands will restore the projects and run fable, bun/deno in watch mode.
