---
## 🚀 Quick Start
Create your first Ignitia application:
```rust
use ignitia::{
Router, Server, Response, Result,
handler_fn,
handler::extractor::{Path, Query, Json, Body, Extension},
};
use serde::Deserialize;
use std::sync::Arc;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
let shared_state = Arc::new(AppState { app_name: "IgnitiaApp".to_string() });
let router = Router::new()
// Simple route with no params
.get("/", handler_fn(root_handler))
// Route with path params
.get("/users/:id", get_user)
// Route with query params extractor
.get("/search", search_handler)
// Route to create user with JSON body
.post("/users", create_user)
// Route using raw Body extractor
.post("/upload", upload_handler)
// Route using extension for shared state
.get("/info", with_state)
// Route using extension for shared state
.nest("/api/v1", Router)
;
let router = router.middleware(StateExtensionMiddleware::new(shared_state.clone()));
let server = Server::new(router, "127.0.0.1:3000".parse().unwrap());
println!("🔥 Igniting server at http://127.0.0.1:3000");
server.ignitia().await?;
Ok(())
}
async fn root_handler() -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::html("<h1>🔥 Welcome to Ignitia!</h1>"))
}
async fn get_user(Path(params): Path<(String,)>) -> Result<Response> {
let user_id = ¶ms.0;
Ok(Response::json(serde_json::json!({ "user_id": user_id }))?)
}
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct SearchParams {
q: String,
limit: Option<u32>,
}
async fn search_handler(Query(params): Query<SearchParams>) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::json(serde_json::json!({
"query": params.q,
"limit": params.limit.unwrap_or(10)
}))?)
}
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct NewUser {
name: String,
email: String,
}
async fn create_user(Json(user): Json<NewUser>) -> Result<Response> {
// Simulate saving user
Ok(Response::json(serde_json::json!({
"status": "created",
"user": user
}))?)
}
async fn upload_handler(Body(body): Body) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::text(format!("Uploaded {} bytes", body.len())))
}
struct AppState {
app_name: String,
}
async fn with_state(Extension(state): Extension<Arc<AppState>>) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::text(format!("App name: {}", state.app_name)))
}
// Middleware to inject state into request extensions (see below)
struct StateExtensionMiddleware(Arc<AppState>);
impl StateExtensionMiddleware {
fn new(state: Arc<AppState>) -> Self {
Self(state)
}
}
#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl ignitia::middleware::Middleware for StateExtensionMiddleware {
async fn before(&self, req: &mut ignitia::Request) -> ignitia::Result<()> {
req.insert_extension(self.0.clone());
Ok(())
}
}
```

## 🔥 Core Features
### 🛣️ Routing Examples
#### Path Parameter Extraction
```rust
async fn get_post(Path((user_id, post_id)): Path<(String, String)>) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::text(format!("User: {}, Post: {}", user_id, post_id)))
}
let router = Router::new()
.get("/users/:user_id/posts/:post_id", handler_fn(get_post));
```
#### Query Parameter Extraction
```rust
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Pagination {
page: Option<u32>,
per_page: Option<u32>,
}
async fn list_items(Query(pagination): Query<Pagination>) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::json(&pagination)?)
}
```
#### JSON Body Parsing
```rust
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct LoginForm {
username: String,
password: String,
}
async fn login(Json(form): Json<LoginForm>) -> Result<Response> {
// Authenticate
Ok(Response::text(format!("Welcome, {}!", form.username)))
}
```
#### Raw Body Usage
```rust
async fn raw_upload(Body(body): Body) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::text(format!("Received {} bytes", body.len())))
}
```
#### Using Shared State via Extensions
```rust
use std::sync::Arc;
struct AppConfig {
version: String,
}
async fn version_info(Extension(config): Extension<Arc<AppConfig>>) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::text(format!("App version: {}", config.version)))
}
```
### **Wildcard Routes**
```rust
// Serve static files: /*path matches any path
.get("/*path", serve_static)
async fn serve_static() -> Result<Response> {
let path = req.param("path").unwrap();
// Serve file from static directory with security checks
serve_file_from_directory("./static", path).await
}
```
### **🍪 Built-in Cookie Management**
Secure, easy-to-use cookie handling with all security attributes:
```rust
use ignitia::{Cookie, SameSite};
// Set secure cookies
let session = Cookie::new("session", "user123")
.path("/")
.max_age(3600) // 1 hour
.http_only()
.secure()
.same_site(SameSite::Lax);
let response = Response::text("Session ignitiad!")
.add_cookie(session);
// Read cookies
async fn protected_route(cookies: Cookies) -> Result<Response> {
let username = cookies.get("session_user")
.unwrap_or("anonymous".to_string());
Ok(Response::text(format!("Welcome back, {}!", username)))
}
// Remove cookies
let response = Response::text("Logged out")
.remove_cookie("session");
```
### **🛡️ Powerful Middleware System**
Composable middleware for authentication, logging, CORS, and more:
```rust
use ignitia::middleware::{AuthMiddleware, CorsMiddleware, LoggerMiddleware};
let router = Router::new()
// Global middleware
.middleware(LoggerMiddleware)
.middleware(CorsMiddleware::new()
.allow_origin("https://example.com"))
// Protected routes
.middleware(AuthMiddleware::new("secret-token")
.protect_path("/api/admin")
.protect_path("/dashboard"))
.get("/api/admin/users", admin_users)
.get("/dashboard", dashboard);
```
### **🔐 Authentication & Authorization**
Built-in session management and role-based access control:
```rust
// Custom authentication middleware
#[derive(Clone)]
struct AuthMiddleware {
protected_paths: Vec<String>,
}
#[async_trait]
impl Middleware for AuthMiddleware {
async fn before(&self, req: &mut Request) -> Result<()> {
let path = req.uri.path();
if self.protected_paths.iter().any(|p| path.starts_with(p)) {
let _session = req.cookie("session")
.ok_or_else(|| Error::Unauthorized)?;
// Validate session...
}
Ok(())
}
}
```
---
## 🔧 Middleware
### **Built-in Middleware**
| `LoggerMiddleware` | Request/response logging | `.middleware(LoggerMiddleware)` |
| `CorsMiddleware` | Cross-origin resource sharing | `.middleware(CorsMiddleware::new())` |
| `AuthMiddleware` | Authentication | `.middleware(AuthMiddleware::new("token"))` |
### **Custom Middleware**
Create your own middleware by implementing the `Middleware` trait:
```rust
use ignitia::{Middleware, async_trait};
struct RateLimitMiddleware {
max_requests: usize,
window: Duration,
}
#[async_trait]
impl Middleware for RateLimitMiddleware {
async fn before(&self, req: &mut Request) -> Result<()> {
// Rate limiting logic
Ok(())
}
async fn after(&self, res: &mut Response) -> Result<()> {
// Add rate limit headers
res.headers.insert(
"X-RateLimit-Remaining",
"99".parse().unwrap()
);
Ok(())
}
}
```
---
## 🍪 Cookie Management
### **Setting Cookies**
```rust
use ignitia::{Cookie, SameSite};
// Session cookie
let session = Cookie::new("session", "abc123")
.path("/")
.max_age(3600)
.http_only()
.same_site(SameSite::Lax);
// Persistent cookie
let preferences = Cookie::new("theme", "dark")
.path("/")
.max_age(86400 * 30) // 30 days
.same_site(SameSite::Strict);
// Secure cookie
let secure_token = Cookie::new("csrf_token", "xyz789")
.path("/")
.secure()
.http_only()
.same_site(SameSite::Strict);
Response::text("Cookies set!")
.add_cookie(session)
.add_cookie(preferences)
.add_cookie(secure_token)
```
### **Reading Cookies**
```rust
async fn handle_request(cookies: Cookies) -> Result<Response> {
// Get all cookies
let cookies = cookies;
// Get specific cookie
let session = cookies.get("session");
// Check if cookie exists
if cookies.contains("user_preferences") {
// Handle with preferences
}
Response::json(cookies.all())
}
```
### **Cookie Security**
```rust
// Production-ready secure cookie
let secure_session = Cookie::new("session", session_id)
.path("/")
.max_age(3600)
.http_only() // Prevent XSS
.secure() // HTTPS only
.same_site(SameSite::Strict); // CSRF protection
```
---
## 🔐 Authentication
### **Session-Based Authentication**
```rust
async fn login(req: Request) -> Result<Response> {
let credentials: LoginForm = req.json()?;
if validate_credentials(&credentials).await? {
let session_token = generate_session_token();
let session_cookie = Cookie::new("session", session_token)
.path("/")
.max_age(3600)
.http_only()
.same_site(SameSite::Lax);
Ok(Response::json(serde_json::json!({
"status": "success",
"message": "Login successful"
}))?.add_cookie(session_cookie))
} else {
Err(Error::Unauthorized)
}
}
async fn logout(_req: Request) -> Result<Response> {
Ok(Response::json(serde_json::json!({
"status": "success",
"message": "Logged out"
}))?.remove_cookie("session"))
}
```
### **Protected Routes with Middleware**
```rust
let router = Router::new()
.middleware(AuthMiddleware::new()
.protect_paths(vec!["/dashboard", "/admin", "/api/protected"]))
// These routes are automatically protected
.get("/dashboard", dashboard)
.get("/admin", admin_panel)
.get("/api/protected/data", protected_data);
```

I'll update your README to showcase the WebSocket features, custom error handling, and include the performance comparison data. Here's the updated section:
## 🔥 Core Features (Updated)
### 🌐 WebSocket Support
Ignitia provides first-class WebSocket support with an optimized, easy-to-use API:
```rust
// ignitia = { version = "0.1.3", features = ["websocket"] }
use ignitia::{Router, websocket_handler, WebSocketConnection, Message};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> ignitia::Result<()> {
let router = Router::new()
// Simple WebSocket echo handler
.websocket_fn("/ws/echo", |ws: WebSocketConnection| async move {
while let Some(message) = ws.recv().await {
match message {
Message::Text(text) => {
ws.send_text(format!("Echo: {}", text)).await?;
}
Message::Binary(data) => {
ws.send_bytes(data).await?;
}
Message::Close(_) => break,
_ => {}
}
}
Ok(())
})
// Chat application with JSON messages
.websocket_fn("/ws/chat", |ws: WebSocketConnection| async move {
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct ChatMessage {
user: String,
message: String,
}
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct ChatResponse {
user: String,
message: String,
timestamp: String,
}
while let Some(message) = ws.recv().await {
if let Message::Text(text) = message {
if let Ok(chat_msg) = serde_json::from_str::<ChatMessage>(&text) {
let response = ChatResponse {
user: chat_msg.user,
message: chat_msg.message,
timestamp: chrono::Utc::now().to_rfc3339(),
};
ws.send_json(&response).await?;
}
}
}
Ok(())
});
// Start server
let server = Server::new(router, "127.0.0.1:3000".parse().unwrap());
server.ignitia().await
}
```
#### Advanced WebSocket Features:
- **Batch Message Processing**: Handle multiple messages efficiently
- **Automatic Ping/Pong**: Built-in heartbeat handling
- **JSON Serialization**: Seamless JSON message support

### 🚨 Custom Error Handling
Ignitia provides comprehensive error handling with customizable error responses:
```rust
use ignitia::{Error, ErrorResponse, define_error, ErrorHandler, Request, Response};
use http::StatusCode;
// Define custom error types
define_error! {
AppError {
UserNotFound(StatusCode::NOT_FOUND, "user_not_found", "USER_NOT_FOUND"),
InvalidInput(StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST, "invalid_input", "VALIDATION_ERROR"),
RateLimited(StatusCode::TOO_MANY_REQUESTS, "rate_limited", "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED")
}
}
// Custom error handler
struct AppErrorHandler;
impl ErrorHandler for AppErrorHandler {
fn handle_error(&self, error: Error, req: Option<&Request>) -> Response {
let status = error.status_code();
// Custom error response format
let error_response = ErrorResponse {
error: status.canonical_reason().unwrap_or("Error").to_string(),
message: error.to_string(),
status: status.as_u16(),
error_type: Some(error.error_type().to_string()),
error_code: match &error {
Error::Custom(custom) => custom.error_code(),
_ => None,
},
metadata: None,
timestamp: Some(chrono::Utc::now().to_rfc3339()),
};
// Include additional context for specific errors
if let Some(req) = req {
if status == StatusCode::NOT_FOUND {
error_response.metadata = Some(serde_json::json!({
"requested_path": req.uri.path(),
"method": req.method.to_string()
}));
}
}
Response::error_json(error_response).unwrap_or_else(|_| Response::from(error))
}
}
// Usage in router
let router = Router::new()
.middleware(ErrorHandlerMiddleware::new()
.with_json_format(ErrorFormat::Detailed)
.with_custom_error_page(StatusCode::NOT_FOUND, include_str!("404.html"))
.with_logging(true))
.get("/users/:id", get_user);
async fn get_user(Path(user_id): Path<String>) -> Result<Response> {
if user_id == "invalid" {
return Err(AppError::InvalidInput("Invalid user ID format".into()).into());
}
// Simulate user not found
Err(AppError::UserNotFound(format!("User {} not found", user_id)).into())
}
```

let router = Router::new()
.middleware(ConnectionPoolMiddleware::new()
.max_connections(1000)
.connection_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30)))
.middleware(CompressionMiddleware::new()
.level(CompressionLevel::Fastest));
```
### **Smart Caching Strategies**
```rust
// Response caching middleware
.middleware(CacheMiddleware::new()
.duration(Duration::from_secs(300))
.vary_by_headers(vec!["Authorization", "Accept-Language"]))
```
## 🔧 Advanced Error Handling Examples
### **Domain-Specific Errors**
```rust
define_error! {
DatabaseError {
ConnectionFailed(StatusCode::SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE, "db_connection_failed", "DB_CONN_001"),
QueryFailed(StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "db_query_failed", "DB_QUERY_002"),
Timeout(StatusCode::GATEWAY_TIMEOUT, "db_timeout", "DB_TIMEOUT_003")
}
}
define_error! {
AuthError {
InvalidToken(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "invalid_token", "AUTH_001"),
ExpiredToken(StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "expired_token", "AUTH_002"),
InsufficientPermissions(StatusCode::FORBIDDEN, "insufficient_permissions", "AUTH_003")
}
}
```
### **Error Recovery & Fallbacks**
```rust
async fn resilient_handler() -> Result<Response> {
match fallible_operation().await {
Ok(result) => Ok(Response::json(result)?),
Err(Error::Database(_)) => {
// Retry with exponential backoff
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
fallback_operation().await
}
Err(Error::ExternalService(_)) => {
// Serve cached response
Ok(Response::json(cached_data)?)
}
Err(e) => Err(e),
}
}
```
## 🌐 WebSocket Performance
Ignitia's WebSocket implementation is optimized for real-time applications:
```rust
// High-performance WebSocket chat with metrics
.websocket_fn("/ws/chat-highload", |ws: WebSocketConnection| async move {
