# Sandy
Sandy is a Rust library that provides a simple HTTP server and a template rendering engine. It allows easy creation of HTTP servers and handling of different routes while enabling template rendering for web applications.

## Server Usage
You can create a new HTTP server using the `Server::new()` function:
```rust
use sandy::Server;
let mut server = Server::new();
```
You can run the HTTP server using the `Server.run()` function:
```rust
let ip = "127.0.0.1";
let port = "8080";
server.run(ip, port);
```
## Routing with Slugs
To handle different routes, including slugs, use the `route()` method. You can define routes with slugs and their corresponding handler functions.
For instance, to handle a route with a slug:
```rust
let slug = params.get("slug").map_or_else(|| "".to_string(), |x| x.to_string());
Ok(format!("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\nArticle content for slug: {}", slug))
} else {
Err("HTTP/1.1 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED\n\nMethod Not Allowed".to_string())
}
});
```
```rust
Ok(format!("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\nArticle content : Article1, ...."))
} else {
Err("HTTP/1.1 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED\n\nMethod Not Allowed".to_string())
}
});
```
## Handling Different HTTP Request Types
### GET Request
To handle a GET request, you can use slugs within the route:
```rust
You can render templates using the `TemplateEngine::render_template()` function:
```rust
use sandy::TemplateEngine;
use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut context = HashMap::new();
context.insert("name", "Just Ice");
let rendered = TemplateEngine::render_template("template.html", &context);
```
The `TemplateEngine::render()` function renders templates from strings using a context:
```rust
let template = "<p>Hello, {{ name }}!</p>";
let rendered = TemplateEngine::render(template, &context);
```
## Sitemap
### To add a custom dynamic route to sitemap
The `Server` also supports generating and updating a sitemap for SEO purposes. You can add routes to the sitemap using `add_route_to_sitemap()`:
```rust
let ip = "127.0.0.1";
let port = "8080";
server.add_route_to_sitemap("/about", true, "daily", 0.5, &format!("http://{}:{}", ip, port));
```
### To add all static routes to sitemap
The `Server` also supports generating and updating a sitemap for SEO purposes. You can add routes to the sitemap using `generate_sitemap()`:
```rust
server.add_route_to_sitemap("/", true, "daily", 0.8, "https://example.com");
server.add_route_to_sitemap("/about", true, "monthly", 0.5, "https://example.com");
server.generate_sitemap(true, true, "daily", 0.7, "https://example.com");
```
## Static Routes
You can serve static content by defining static routes. For example, serving a static HTML file:
```rust
server.static_route("/", "<html><body><h1>Welcome to Sandy!</h1></body></html>");
```
## Full Example
An example showcasing the use of slugs in routing:
```rust
use sandy::Server;
use sandy::TemplateEngine;
use std::collections::HashMap;
fn main() {
let mut server = Server::new();
server.route("/", |_, _, _, _| {
Ok("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\nHello, Sandy!".to_string())
});
server.route("/get/:param", |_, params, method, _| {
if method == "GET" {
let v = params.get("param").map_or_else(|| "".to_string(), |x| x.to_string());
Ok(format!("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n{}", v))
} else {
Err("HTTP/1.1 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED\n\nMethod Not Allowed".to_string())
}
});
server.route("/post/:data", |_, _, method, data| {
if method == "POST" {
let v = data.get("data").map_or_else(|| "".to_string(), |x| x.to_string());
Ok(format!("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n{}", v))
} else {
Err("HTTP/1.1 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED\n\nMethod Not Allowed".to_string())
}
});
server.route("/render_template/:var", |_, _, _, _| {
let context: HashMap<_, _> = [("var", "value")].iter().cloned().collect();
match TemplateEngine::render_template("template.html", &context) {
Ok(rendered) => Ok(format!("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n{}", rendered)),
Err(err) => Err(format!("HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error\n\n{}", err)),
}
});
server.route("/render/:var", |_, _, _, _| {
let context: HashMap<_, _> = [("var", "value")].iter().cloned().collect();
let template = "This is a {{ var }} template.";
let rendered = TemplateEngine::render(template, &context);
Ok(format!("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n{}", rendered))
});
server.static_route("/", "<html><body><h1>Welcome to Sandy!</h1></body></html>");
server.static_route("/about", "<html><body><h1>About Us</h1><p>This is the About Us page.</p></body></html>");
server.run("0.0.0.0", "8080");
}
```
