# Http Server lib for Rust

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/Milesq/web_server.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/Milesq/http_server)

## web_server is a small, dependency-less crate for creating HTTP servers.

### When you coding the backend using Rust, the most annoying thing could be the size of a freamwork and the time needed to compile the application

### The web_server package fixes these problems. web_server has no dependencies, but allows you to create full-fledged servers

#### First server using web_server

```rust
extern crate web_server;
web_server::new()
.get("/", Box::new(|request: web_server::Request, mut response: web_server::Response|
"Hello World!".into()))
.launch(80)
.unwrap();
```

#### It's easy!

#### First you must create instance of HttpServer

```rust
web_server::new()
```

#### then you can declare your endpoints. E.g.

```rust
.get("/your/path", Box::new(|request, default_response| {
// There place your logic
// This function returns Response
"response text".into()
}))
.post("/your/path", Box::new(|_, _| "Handler for POST method"))
.route(web_server::HttpMethod::DELETE, "/your/path", Box::new(|_, _| "Handler for DELETE method"))
.any("/your/path", Box::new(|_, _| "Handler for any method"))
```

#### Now you must run server by launch method

```rust
.launch(PORT).unwrap()
```

## Receiving post data

e.g.

```rust
use web_server::decoders::x_www_form_urlencoded;

web_server::new()
.post("/add-user", Box::new(|req, _| {
println!("{}", req.get_body());
let body: HashMap = x_www_form_urlencoded(req.get_body().as_str());
format!(
"Add new user: {}",
body.get("user").unwrap_or(&String::from("Error!"))
)
.into()
}))
.launch(8080)
.unwrap();
```
