# vweb - the V Web Server
|
|
|
|
A simple yet powerful web server with built-in routing, parameter handling, templating, and other
|
|
features.
|
|
The [gitly](https://gitly.org/) site is based on vweb.
|
|
|
|
**_Some features may not be complete, and have some bugs._**
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Very fast** performance of C on the web.
|
|
- **Small binary** hello world website is <100 KB.
|
|
- **Easy to deploy** just one binary file that also includes all templates. No need to install any
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
- **Templates are precompiled** all errors are visible at compilation time, not at runtime.
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
There are some examples
|
|
that can be explored [here](https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/examples/vweb).
|
|
|
|
And others like:
|
|
|
|
- [vweb_orm_jwt](https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/examples/vweb_orm_jwt) (back-end)
|
|
- [vorum](https://github.com/vlang/vorum) (front-end)
|
|
- [gitly](https://github.com/vlang/gitly) (full-stack)
|
|
|
|
**Front-end getting start example**
|
|
`src/main.v`
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
module main
|
|
|
|
import vweb
|
|
import os
|
|
|
|
struct App {
|
|
vweb.Context
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
struct Object {
|
|
title string
|
|
description string
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
vweb.run_at(new_app(), vweb.RunParams{
|
|
port: 8081
|
|
}) or { panic(err) }
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn new_app() &App {
|
|
mut app := &App{}
|
|
// makes all static files available.
|
|
app.mount_static_folder_at(os.resource_abs_path('.'), '/')
|
|
return app
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
['/']
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) page_home() vweb.Result {
|
|
// all this constants can be accessed by src/templates/page/home.html file.
|
|
page_title := 'V is the new V'
|
|
v_url := 'https://github.com/vlang/v'
|
|
|
|
list_of_object := [
|
|
Object{
|
|
title: 'One good title'
|
|
description: 'this is the first'
|
|
},
|
|
Object{
|
|
title: 'Other good title'
|
|
description: 'more one'
|
|
},
|
|
]
|
|
// $vweb.html() in `<folder>_<name> vweb.Result ()` like this
|
|
// render the `<name>.html` in folder `./templates/<folder>`
|
|
return $vweb.html()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`$vweb.html()` compiles an HTML template into V during compilation, and embeds the resulting code
|
|
into the current action.
|
|
|
|
That means that the template automatically has access to that action's entire environment.
|
|
|
|
`src/templates/page/home.html`
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<html>
|
|
<header>
|
|
<title>${page_title}</title>
|
|
@css 'src/templates/page/home.css'
|
|
</header>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<h1 class="title">Hello, Vs.</h1>
|
|
@for var in list_of_object
|
|
<div>
|
|
<a href="${v_url}">${var.title}</a>
|
|
<span>${var.description}</span>
|
|
</div>
|
|
@end
|
|
<div>@include 'component.html'</div>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`src/templates/page/component.html`
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<div>This is a component</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`src/templates/page/home.css`
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
h1.title {
|
|
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
|
|
color: #3b7bbf;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
V supports [Template directives](/vlib/v/TEMPLATES.md) like
|
|
`@css`, `@js` for static files in \<path\>
|
|
`@if`, `@for` for conditional and loop
|
|
and
|
|
`@include` to include html components.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying vweb apps
|
|
|
|
Everything, including HTML templates, is in one binary file. That's all you need to deploy.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
To start with vweb, you have to import the module `vweb` and define a struct to hold vweb.Context
|
|
(and any other variables your program will need).
|
|
The web server can be started by calling `vweb.run(&App{}, port)` or `vweb.run(&App{}, RunParams)`
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
import vweb
|
|
|
|
struct App {
|
|
vweb.Context
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
vweb.run(&App{}, 8080)
|
|
// // or
|
|
// vweb.run_at(new_app(), vweb.RunParams{
|
|
// host: 'localhost'
|
|
// port: 8099
|
|
// family: .ip
|
|
// }) or { panic(err) }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Defining endpoints
|
|
|
|
To add endpoints to your web server, you have to extend the `App` struct.
|
|
For routing you can either use auto-mapping of function names or specify the path as an attribute.
|
|
The function expects a response of the type `vweb.Result`.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
// This endpoint can be accessed via http://localhost:port/hello
|
|
fn (mut app App) hello() vweb.Result {
|
|
return app.text('Hello')
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// This endpoint can be accessed via http://localhost:port/foo
|
|
["/foo"]
|
|
fn (mut app App) world() vweb.Result {
|
|
return app.text('World')
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### - HTTP verbs
|
|
|
|
To use any HTTP verbs (or methods, as they are properly called),
|
|
such as `[post]`, `[get]`, `[put]`, `[patch]` or `[delete]`
|
|
you can simply add the attribute before the function definition.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
[post]
|
|
fn (mut app App) world() vweb.Result {
|
|
return app.text('World')
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
['/product/create'; post]
|
|
fn (mut app App) create_product() vweb.Result {
|
|
return app.text('product')
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### - Parameters
|
|
|
|
Parameters are passed direcly in endpoint route using colon sign `:` and received using the same
|
|
name at function
|
|
To pass a parameter to an endpoint, you simply define it inside an attribute, e. g.
|
|
`['/hello/:user]`.
|
|
After it is defined in the attribute, you have to add it as a function parameter.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
vvvv
|
|
['/hello/:user'] vvvv
|
|
fn (mut app App) hello_user(user string) vweb.Result {
|
|
return app.text('Hello $user')
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You have access to the raw request data such as headers
|
|
or the request body by accessing `app` (which is `vweb.Context`).
|
|
If you want to read the request body, you can do that by calling `app.req.data`.
|
|
To read the request headers, you just call `app.req.header` and access the
|
|
header you want example. `app.req.header.get(.content_type)`. See `struct Header`
|
|
for all available methods (`v doc net.http Header`).
|
|
It has, too, fields for the `query`, `form`, `files`.
|
|
|
|
#### - Query
|
|
To handle the query context, you just need use the `query` field
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v
|
|
module main
|
|
|
|
import vweb
|
|
|
|
struct App {
|
|
vweb.Context
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
vweb.run(&App{}, 8081)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
['/user'; get]
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) controller_get_user_by_id() vweb.Result {
|
|
// http://localhost:3000/user?q=vpm&order_by=desc => { 'q': 'vpm', 'order_by': 'desc' }
|
|
return app.text(app.query.str())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
### Middleware
|
|
|
|
V haven't a well defined middleware.
|
|
For now, you can use `before_request()`. This method called before every request.
|
|
Probably you can use it for check user session cookie or add header
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) before_request() {
|
|
app.user_id = app.get_cookie('id') or { '0' }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Redirect
|
|
|
|
Used when you want be redirected to an url
|
|
**Examples:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) before_request() {
|
|
app.user_id = app.get_cookie('id') or { app.redirect('/') }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
['/articles'; get]
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) articles() vweb.Result {
|
|
if !app.token {
|
|
app.redirect('/login')
|
|
}
|
|
return app.text("patatoes")

|
|
|
|
### Template
|
|
|
|
#### -handle_static
|
|
|
|
handle_static is used to mark a folder (relative to the current working folder) as one that
|
|
contains only static resources (css files, images etc).
|
|
|
|
If `root` is set the mount path for the dir will be in '/'
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
mut app := &App{}
|
|
app.serve_static('/favicon.ico', 'favicon.ico')
|
|
// Automatically make available known static mime types found in given directory.
|
|
os.chdir(os.dir(os.executable()))?
|
|
app.handle_static('assets', true)
|
|
vweb.run(app, port)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### -mount_static_folder_at
|
|
|
|
makes all static files in `directory_path` and inside it, available at http://server/mount_path.
|
|
|
|
For example: suppose you have called .mount_static_folder_at('/var/share/myassets', '/assets'),
|
|
and you have a file /var/share/myassets/main.css .
|
|
=> That file will be available at URL: http://server/assets/main.css .
|
|
|
|
#### -serve_static
|
|
|
|
Serves a file static.
|
|
`url` is the access path on the site, `file_path` is the real path to the file, `mime_type` is the
|
|
file type
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
mut app := &App{}
|
|
app.serve_static('/favicon.ico', 'favicon.ico')
|
|
app.mount_static_folder_at(os.resource_abs_path('.'), '/')
|
|
vweb.run(app, 8081)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Others
|
|
|
|
#### -ip
|
|
|
|
Returns the ip address from the current user
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) ip() vweb.Result {
|
|
ip := app.ip()
|
|
return app.text('ip: $ip')
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### -error
|
|
|
|
Set a string to the form error
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```v ignore
|
|
pub fn (mut app App) error() vweb.Result {
|
|
app.error('here as an error')
|
|
println(app.form_error) //'vweb error: here as an error'
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
