# AFast
**AFast** is a high-performance asynchronous Rust backend framework designed
to simplify building networked applications. It supports multiple protocols
via feature flags and provides automatic code generation for clients
(TypeScript and JavaScript), API documentation, and field validation.
## Instructions
### Supported Protocol Features
You can enable the following features in your `Cargo.toml`:
- `http` - enable HTTP support
- `/` - Document path (feature flag `doc`)
- `/api` - HTTP API endpoints
- `/code/{service}/{lang}` - Client code (feature flag `js`|`ts` ...)
- `/doc` - Service list (feature flag `doc`)
- `/doc/{service}` - Handler defintions and documentation (feature flag `doc`)
- `ws` - enable WebSocket support
- `/ws` - WebSocket endpoint
- `tcp` - enable TCP support
- `doc` - enable API documentation generation
- `js` - enable JavaScript client generation (auto enabled `code`)
- `ts` - enable TypeScript client generation (auto enabled `code`)
- `code` - enable code generation
**Note on TCP usage:**
If the `tcp` feature is enabled, the `AFast::serve` method takes two arguments:
1. The TCP address to listen on (`"127.0.0.1:8080"`).
2. The HTTP/WS address (`"127.0.0.1:8081"`) for web clients and generated JS/TS clients.
This allows you to run TCP and HTTP/WS servers simultaneously in the same application.
### Key Features
- **`handler` Macro**: Declare HTTP endpoints with minimal boilerplate
- Automatic TypeScript/JavaScript client generation
- Namespace support for organized API structure (`ns("api.v1.user")`)
- Descriptive API documentation generation (`desc("Get user info")`)
- Automatic field validation with custom rules
- Async handler functions with state management
- Flexible multi-protocol support: HTTP, WS, TCP
#### Handler Macro Overview
The `#[handler]` attribute macro transforms async functions into full-featured API endpoints:
```rust
#[handler(desc("Get user information"), ns("api.v1.user"))]
async fn get_user(state: String, header: Header, req: Request) -> Result<Response, Error> {
// Your business logic
}
```
**Macro Parameters:**
- `desc("description")` - API description for documentation
- `ns("api.v1.user")` - Namespace for nested JS client generation
**Generated Output:**
- Type-safe HTTP endpoints
- Nested JavaScript client structure
- TypeScript type definitions
- OpenAPI documentation
### Upcoming Features / Development Plan
- Nested structure validation for complex types
- Enable or disable js / ts / document by feature flags
- Add command for generating client code
- Generate client code for additional languages: Java, Kotlin, C#, Rust, etc.
- Improved code generation templates for easier integration
- Enhanced error handling and validation reporting
