# Amiya

[![Badge with github icon][github-badge-img]][github-home] [![Badge with document icon][doc-badge-img]][doc-home]

Amiya is a experimental middleware-based minimalism async HTTP server framework built up on the
[`smol`] async runtime.

I, a newbie to Rust's async world, start to write Amiya as a personal study project to learn
async related concept and practice.

It's currently still working in progress and in a very early alpha stage.

API design may changes every day, **DO NOT** use it in any condition except for test or study!

## Goal

The goal of this project is try to build a (by importance order):

- Safe, with `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`
- Async
- Minimalism
- Easy to use
- Easy to extend

HTTP framework for myself to write simple web services.

Amiya uses [`async-h1`] to parse and process requests, so only HTTP version 1.1 is supported for
now. HTTP 1.0 or 2.0 is not in goal list, at least in the near future.

Performance is **NOT** in the list too, after all, Amiya is just a experimental for now, it uses
many heap alloc (Box) and dynamic dispatch (Trait Object) so there may be some performance loss
compare to use [`async-h1`] directly.

## Examples

To start a very simple HTTP service that returns `Hello World` to the client in all paths:

```rust
use amiya::m;

fn main() {
    let app = amiya::new().uses(m!(ctx =>
        ctx.resp.set_body(format!("Hello World from: {}", ctx.path()));
    ));

    let fut = app.listen("[::]:8080");

    // ... start a async runtime and block on `fut` ...
}
```

You can await or block on this `fut` to start the service.

Notice any future need a async runtime to run, and that's not goal of Amiya too. But you can
refer to [`examples/hello.rs`] for a minimal example of how to use [`smol`] runtime.

To run those examples, run

```bash
cargo run --example # show example list
cargo run --example hello # run hello
```

Top level document of crate has [a brief description of concepts][doc-concepts] we used in this
framework, I recommend read it first, and then check those examples to get a more intuitive
understanding:

- Understand onion model of Amiya middleware system: [`examples/middleware.rs`]
- Use a custom type as middleware: [`examples/measurer.rs`]
- Store extra data in context: [`examples/extra.rs`]
- Use `Router` middleware for request diversion: [`examples/router.rs`]
- Parse query string to json value or custom struct: [`examples/query.rs`]
- Parse body(www-form-urlencoded) to json value or custom struct: [`examples/urlencoded.rs`]
- Match part of path as an argument: [`examples/arg.rs`]
- Use another Amiya app as middleware: [`examples/subapp.rs`]

Most of those example will use default smol global executor(one work thread only), see [`example/multithread.rs`] for how to create a custom multi-thread executor and use it.
