mod.rs

//! Config-driven proxy application.
//!
//! When `rws.config.toml` contains `[[route]]` or `[[upstream]]` sections,
//! `ConfigDrivenApp` is used as the top-level `Application` instead of the
//! hardcoded `build_app()` in `main.rs`.
//!
//! # Quick start
//!
//! ```toml
//! # rws.config.toml
//! [[upstream]]
//! name = "api"
//! backends = ["localhost:3000"]
//!
//! [[route]]
//! name = "api-proxy"
//!
//! [route.match]
//! path = "/api/*"
//!
//! [route.action]
//! type = "proxy"
//!
//! [route.action.proxy]
//! upstream = "api"
//! ```
