๐ฆ Ruffus
Fast, minimalist web framework for Rust
[](https://crates.io/crates/ruffus)
[](https://docs.rs/ruffus)
[](LICENSE)
[](https://github.com/holasoymalva/ruffus)
---
Ruffus is a web framework for Rust inspired by Express.js, designed to make building web APIs fast, simple, and enjoyable. With an ergonomic API and powerful async runtime, Ruffus lets you focus on building features, not fighting the framework.
> **Status**: โ
Published on crates.io | ๐งช 107 tests passing (8 unit + 43 property-based + 56 doc tests)
```rust
use ruffus::{App, Request, Response};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.get("/", |_req: Request| async {
Response::text("Hello, World!".to_string())
});
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await.unwrap();
}
```
## โจ Features
- **๐ Blazing Fast** - Built on Tokio and Hyper for maximum performance
- **๐ฏ Type-Safe** - Leverage Rust's type system to catch errors at compile time
- **๐ Middleware** - Composable middleware for cross-cutting concerns
- **๐ฆ JSON Support** - First-class JSON serialization with Serde
- **๐ฃ๏ธ Flexible Routing** - Express-style routing with path parameters
- **โก Async/Await** - Native async support for non-blocking I/O
- **๐จ Ergonomic API** - Intuitive, chainable methods inspired by Express.js
- **๐ง Modular** - Organize routes with routers and mount them anywhere
## ๐ฆ Installation
Add Ruffus to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
ruffus = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
```
Or install from the command line:
```bash
cargo add ruffus
cargo add tokio --features full
cargo add serde --features derive
```
## ๐ Quick Start
### Basic Server
```rust
use ruffus::{App, Request, Response};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.get("/hello/:name", |req: Request| async move {
let name = req.param("name").unwrap_or("stranger");
Response::text(format!("Hello, {}!", name))
});
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await.unwrap();
println!("Server running on http://127.0.0.1:3000");
}
```
### JSON API
```rust
use ruffus::{App, Request, Response};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct CreateUser {
name: String,
email: String,
}
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct User {
id: u64,
name: String,
email: String,
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.post("/users", |mut req: Request| async move {
let body: CreateUser = req.json().await?;
let user = User {
id: 1,
name: body.name,
email: body.email,
};
Response::json(&user)
});
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await.unwrap();
}
```
### Middleware
```rust
use ruffus::{App, Request, Response, middleware::{Middleware, Next}};
use async_trait::async_trait;
struct Logger;
#[async_trait]
impl Middleware for Logger {
async fn handle(&self, req: Request, next: Next) -> Result {
println!("{} {}", req.method(), req.uri());
let start = std::time::Instant::now();
let response = next.run(req).await?;
println!("Request took {:?}", start.elapsed());
Ok(response)
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.use_middleware(Logger);
app.get("/", |_req: Request| async {
Response::text("Hello!".to_string())
});
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await.unwrap();
}
```
### Routers
```rust
use ruffus::{App, Router, Request, Response};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
// API v1 routes
let mut api_v1 = Router::new("/api/v1");
api_v1.get("/users", |_req: Request| async {
Response::json(&vec!["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"])
});
api_v1.get("/users/:id", |req: Request| async move {
let id = req.param("id").unwrap();
Response::json(&format!("User {}", id))
});
// Mount the router
app.mount("/", api_v1);
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await.unwrap();
}
```

### Core Concepts
- **[Getting Started](docs/getting-started.md)** - Your first Ruffus application
- **[Routing](docs/routing.md)** - Define routes and handle requests
- **[Middleware](docs/middleware.md)** - Add cross-cutting functionality
- **[Request & Response](docs/request-response.md)** - Work with HTTP data
- **[Error Handling](docs/error-handling.md)** - Handle errors gracefully
- **[Testing](docs/testing.md)** - Test your Ruffus applications
## ๐ฏ Examples
Check out the [examples](examples/) directory for more:
- [Basic Server](examples/basic.rs) - Simple hello world
- [JSON API](examples/json_api.rs) - REST API with JSON
- [Middleware](examples/middleware.rs) - Custom middleware
- [Routers](examples/router.rs) - Organize routes
- [Full API](examples/full_api.rs) - Complete REST API example
Run an example:
```bash
cargo run --example basic
```
## ๐ง API Overview
### Application
```rust
let mut app = App::new();
app.get("/path", handler); // GET route
app.post("/path", handler); // POST route
app.put("/path", handler); // PUT route
app.delete("/path", handler); // DELETE route
app.patch("/path", handler); // PATCH route
app.use_middleware(middleware); // Add middleware
app.mount("/prefix", router); // Mount router
app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await?; // Start server
```
### Request
```rust
req.method(); // HTTP method
req.uri(); // Request URI
req.headers(); // HTTP headers
req.param("name"); // Path parameter
req.query("key"); // Query parameter
req.json::().await?; // Parse JSON body
```
### Response
```rust
Response::text(string); // Plain text response
Response::json(&data)?; // JSON response
Response::new()
.status(StatusCode::OK)
.header("X-Custom", "value")
.text("body"); // Builder pattern
```
