//! # Leptos Server Functions
//!
//! This package is based on a simple idea: sometimes it’s useful to write functions
//! that will only run on the server, and call them from the client.
//!
//! If you’re creating anything beyond a toy app, you’ll need to do this all the time:
//! reading from or writing to a database that only runs on the server, running expensive
//! computations using libraries you don’t want to ship down to the client, accessing
//! APIs that need to be called from the server rather than the client for CORS reasons
//! or because you need a secret API key that’s stored on the server and definitely
//! shouldn’t be shipped down to a user’s browser.
//!
//! Traditionally, this is done by separating your server and client code, and by setting
//! up something like a REST API or GraphQL API to allow your client to fetch and mutate
//! data on the server. This is fine, but it requires you to write and maintain your code
//! in multiple separate places (client-side code for fetching, server-side functions to run),
//! as well as creating a third thing to manage, which is the API contract between the two.
//!
//! This package provides two simple primitives that allow you instead to write co-located,
//! isomorphic server functions. (*Co-located* means you can write them in your app code so
//! that they are “located alongside” the client code that calls them, rather than separating
//! the client and server sides. *Isomorphic* means you can call them from the client as if
//! you were simply calling a function; the function call has the “same shape” on the client
//! as it does on the server.)
//!
//! ### `#[server]`
//!
//! The [`#[server]`](https://docs.rs/leptos/latest/leptos/attr.server.html) macro allows you to annotate a function to
//! indicate that it should only run on the server (i.e., when you have an `ssr` feature in your
//! crate that is enabled).
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use leptos::*;
//! #[server(ReadFromDB)]
//! async fn read_posts(how_many: usize, query: String) -> Result<Vec<Posts>, ServerFnError> {
//! // do some server-only work here to access the database
//! let posts = todo!();;
//! Ok(posts)
//! }
//!
//! // call the function
//! spawn_local(async {
//! let posts = read_posts(3, "my search".to_string()).await;
//! log::debug!("posts = {posts:#?}");
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! If you call this function from the client, it will serialize the function arguments and `POST`
//! them to the server as if they were the inputs in `<form method="POST">`.
//!
//! Here’s what you need to remember:
//! - **Server functions must be `async`.** Even if the work being done inside the function body
//! can run synchronously on the server, from the client’s perspective it involves an asynchronous
//! function call.
//! - **Server functions must return `Result<T, ServerFnError>`.** Even if the work being done
//! inside the function body can’t fail, the processes of serialization/deserialization and the
//! network call are fallible.
//! - **Return types must be [Serializable](leptos_reactive::Serializable).**
//! This should be fairly obvious: we have to serialize arguments to send them to the server, and we
//! need to deserialize the result to return it to the client.
//! - **Arguments must be implement [serde::Serialize].** They are serialized as an `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
//! form data using [`serde_qs`](https://docs.rs/serde_qs/latest/serde_qs/) or as `application/cbor`
//! using [`cbor`](https://docs.rs/cbor/latest/cbor/). **Note**: You should explicitly include `serde` with the
//! `derive` feature enabled in your `Cargo.toml`. You can do this by running `cargo add serde --features=derive`.
//! - Context comes from the server. [`use_context`](leptos_reactive::use_context) can be used to access specific
//! server-related data, as documented in the server integrations. This allows accessing things like HTTP request
//! headers as needed. However, server functions *not* have access to reactive state that exists in the client.
//!
//! ## Server Function Encodings
//!
//! By default, the server function call is a `POST` request that serializes the arguments as URL-encoded form data in the body
//! of the request. But there are a few other methods supported. Optionally, we can provide another argument to the `#[server]`
//! macro to specify an alternate encoding:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[server(AddTodo, "/api", "Url")]
//! #[server(AddTodo, "/api", "GetJson")]
//! #[server(AddTodo, "/api", "Cbor")]
//! #[server(AddTodo, "/api", "GetCbor")]
//! ```
//!
//! The four options use different combinations of HTTP verbs and encoding methods:
//!
//! | Name | Method | Request | Response |
//! | ----------------- | ------ | ----------- | -------- |
//! | **Url** (default) | POST | URL encoded | JSON |
//! | **GetJson** | GET | URL encoded | JSON |
//! | **Cbor** | POST | CBOR | CBOR |
//! | **GetCbor** | GET | URL encoded | CBOR |
//!
//! In other words, you have two choices:
//!
//! - `GET` or `POST`? This has implications for things like browser or CDN caching; while `POST` requests should not be cached,
//! `GET` requests can be.
//! - Plain text (arguments sent with URL/form encoding, results sent as JSON) or a binary format (CBOR, encoded as a base64
//! string)?
//!
//! ## Why not `PUT` or `DELETE`? Why URL/form encoding, and not JSON?**
//!
//! These are reasonable questions. Much of the web is built on REST API patterns that encourage the use of semantic HTTP
//! methods like `DELETE` to delete an item from a database, and many devs are accustomed to sending data to APIs in the
//! JSON format.
//!
//! The reason we use `POST` or `GET` with URL-encoded data by default is the `<form>` support. For better or for worse,
//! HTML forms don’t support `PUT` or `DELETE`, and they don’t support sending JSON. This means that if you use anything
//! but a `GET` or `POST` request with URL-encoded data, it can only work once WASM has loaded.
//!
//! The CBOR encoding is suported for historical reasons; an earlier version of server functions used a URL encoding that
//! didn’t support nested objects like structs or vectors as server function arguments, which CBOR did. But note that the
//! CBOR forms encounter the same issue as `PUT`, `DELETE`, or JSON: they do not degrade gracefully if the WASM version of
//! your app is not available.
