Struct Routes 

pub struct Routes { /* private fields */ }

Routes

This struct defines the routes. It uses a hashmap to do this.

HashMap<Route, Content> where content is the return content (ie, html or json).

Implementations

impl Routes

pub async fn new() -> Self

New

Create a new Route struct

pub async fn add_route(&mut self, route: String, content: Route)

Add Route

Adds a new route to the routes hashmap. If the route already exists, its value is updated

pub async fn get_route( &self, request: String, user_addr: SocketAddr, is_secure: bool, ) -> Result<DataType, &str>

Get Route

This function takes in the response string from the TcpStream and searches the hashmap for the callback function associated with the route. It then checks that the route is valid, and runs it asynchrynously (using the request so that the callback can make use of the request data)

This function only runs the callback - handling POST and GET requests is up to the callback.

If this function detects a request for static content - which it can only detect if the data is stored in /static/, then it will return early with the static content, and not run any functions.

If an error handler is not set, and a route is not found, a panic will occur.
