### Introduction
Roa is an async web framework inspired by koajs, lightweight but powerful.
### Application
A Roa application is a structure containing a middleware group which composes and executes middleware functions in a stack-like manner.
The obligatory hello world application:
```rust
use roa_core::App;
use log::info;
use std::error::Error as StdError;
#[async_std::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn StdError>> {
let mut app = App::new(());
app.end(|ctx| async move {
ctx.resp_mut().await.write_str("Hello, World");
Ok(())
});
app.listen("127.0.0.1:8000", |addr| {
info!("Server is listening on {}", addr)
})?
.await?;
Ok(())
}
```
#### Cascading
The following example responds with "Hello World", however, the request flows through
the `logging` middleware to mark when the request started, then continue
to yield control through the response middleware. When a middleware invokes `next().await`
the function suspends and passes control to the next middleware defined. After there are no more
middleware to execute downstream, the stack will unwind and each middleware is resumed to perform
its upstream behaviour.
```rust
use roa_core::App;
use log::info;
use std::error::Error as StdError;
use std::time::Instant;
#[async_std::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn StdError>> {
let mut app = App::new(());
ctx.resp_mut().await.write_str("Hello, World");
Ok(())
});
app.listen("127.0.0.1:8000", |addr| {
info!("Server is listening on {}", addr)
})?
.await?;
Ok(())
}
```
### Error Handling
You can catch or straightly throw a Error returned by next.
```rust
use roa_core::{App, throw};
use async_std::task::spawn;
use http::StatusCode;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let (addr, server) = App::new(())
.gate_fn(|ctx, next| async move {
// catch
if let Err(err) = next().await {
// teapot is ok
if err.status_code != StatusCode::IM_A_TEAPOT {
return Err(err)
}
}
Ok(())
})
.gate_fn(|ctx, next| async move {
next().await?; // just throw
unreachable!()
})
.end(|_ctx| async move {
throw!(StatusCode::IM_A_TEAPOT, "I'm a teapot!")
})
.run_local()?;
spawn(server);
let resp = reqwest::get(&format!("http://{}", addr)).await?;
assert_eq!(StatusCode::OK, resp.status());
Ok(())
}
```
#### error_handler
App has a error_handler to handle `Error` thrown by the top middleware.
This is the error_handler:
```rust
use roa_core::{Context, Error, Result, Model, ErrorKind};
pub async fn error_handler<M: Model>(context: Context<M>, err: Error) -> Result {
context.resp_mut().await.status = err.status_code;
if err.expose {
context.resp_mut().await.write_str(&err.message);
}
if err.kind == ErrorKind::ServerError {
Err(err)
} else {
Ok(())
}
}
```
The Error thrown by this error_handler will be handled by hyper.
