Salvo is a simple but powerful web server framework written in Rust.
🎯 Features
- Base on hyper, tokio and async supported;
- Websocket supported;
- Middleware is handler and support executed before or after handle;
- Easy to use routing system, routers can be nested, and you can add middlewares on any routers;
- Multipart form supported, handle files upload is very simple;
- Serve a static virtual directory from many physical directories;
⚡️ Quick start
You can view samples here or read docs here.
Create a new rust project:
Add this to Cargo.toml
[]
= { = "0.13", = ["full"] }
= { = "1.5", = ["full"] }
Create a simple function handler in the main.rs file, we call it hello_world
, this function just render plain text "Hello World"
.
use *;
async
There are many ways to write function handler.
-
You can omit function arguments if they do not used, like
_req
,_depot
in this example:async
-
Any type can be function handler's return value if it implements
Writer
. For example &str implementsWriter
and it will render string as plain text:async
-
The more common situation is we want to return a
Result<T, E>
to implify error handling. IfT
andE
implementsWriter
,Result<T, E>
can be function handler's return type:async
In the main
function, we need to create a root Router first, and then create a server and call it's bind
function:
use *;
async
async
Middleware
There is no difference between Handler and Middleware, Middleware is just Handler.
Tree-like routing system
Normally we write routing like this:
.get.post;
with_path
.get
.patch
.delete;
with_path
Often viewing articles and article lists does not require user login, but creating, editing, deleting articles, etc. require user login authentication permissions. The tree-like routing system in Salvo can meet this demand. We can write routers without user login together:
.get
.push;
with_path
Then write the routers that require the user to login together, and use the corresponding middleware to verify whether the user is logged in:
.before
.post
.push;
with_path
Although these two routes have the same path("articles")
, they can still be added to the same parent route at the same time, so the final route looks like this:
.push
.push;
new
<id>
matches a fragment in the path, under normal circumstances, the article id
is just a number, which we can use regular expressions to restrict id
matching rules, r"<id:/\d+/>"
.
For numeric characters there is an easier way to use <id:num>
, the specific writing is:
<id:num>
, matches any number of numeric characters;<id:num[10]>
, only matches a certain number of numeric characters, where 10 means that the match only matches 10 numeric characters;<id:num(..10)>
, means matching 1 to 9 numeric characters;<id:num(3..10)>
, means matching 3 to 9 numeric characters;<id:num(..=10)>
, means matching 1 to 10 numeric characters;<id:num(3..=10)>
, means match 3 to 10 numeric characters;<id:num(10..)>
, means to match at least 10 numeric characters.
You can also use <*>
or <**>
to match all remaining path fragments. In order to make the code more readable, you can also add appropriate name to make the path semantics more clear, for example: <**file_path>
.
It is allowed to combine multiple expressions to match the same path segment, such as /articles/article_<id:num>/
.
File upload
We can get file async by the function get_file
in Request
:
async
Multiple files also very simple:
async
