Struct uiuifree_actix_web_util::web::Form

pub struct Form<T>(pub T);

URL encoded payload extractor and responder.

Form has two uses: URL encoded responses, and extracting typed data from URL request payloads.

Extractor

To extract typed data from a request body, the inner type T must implement the DeserializeOwned trait.

Use FormConfig to configure extraction options.

use actix_web::{post, web};
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Info {
    name: String,
}

// This handler is only called if:
// - request headers declare the content type as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
// - request payload is deserialized into a `Info` struct from the URL encoded format
#[post("/")]
async fn index(form: web::Form<Info>) -> String {
    format!("Welcome {}!", form.name)
}

Responder

The Form type also allows you to create URL encoded responses: simply return a value of type Form where T is the type to be URL encoded. The type must implement serde::Serialize.

Responses use

use actix_web::{get, web};
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct SomeForm {
    name: String,
    age: u8
}

// Response will have:
// - status: 200 OK
// - header: `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
// - body: `name=actix&age=123`
#[get("/")]
async fn index() -> web::Form<SomeForm> {
    web::Form(SomeForm {
        name: "actix".into(),
        age: 123
    })
}

Panics

URL encoded forms consist of unordered key=value pairs, therefore they cannot be decoded into any type which depends upon data ordering (eg. tuples). Trying to do so will result in a panic.
