Structs§

ActionHandler: Handler for processing actions
AppState: Application state shared across handlers
FetchDebugEntry: Debug info for a single remote fetch (used in X-What-Debug header)
RateLimiters: Per-IP rate limiters using moka caches with TTL-based sliding windows. Each cache maps IP address string to request count.
RenderEngine: Template rendering engine using html5ever for parsing
RenderResult: Result of rendering content
WiredMessage: A wired message with its scope for filtering

ActivityEvent: One entry in the dev inspector’s activity feed.
CssMode: Which slice of the embedded framework stylesheet an app serves. Configured via [server] css in what.toml.
LiveReloadMessage: Live reload message type

content_dir: Resolve the full content directory path for a project root.
content_dir_name: Determine the content directory name for a project root.
create_router: Create the application router
discover_routes: Discover all page routes from the content directory (site/ or pages/). Returns (url_path, is_dynamic) pairs. Dynamic routes have [id] segments.
embedded_what_css: The framework CSS embedded in this crate (crates/what-core/assets/client/what.css). Exposed so downstream crates that vendor their own copy can assert it hasn’t drifted.
embedded_what_css_for_mode: The embedded framework CSS for a given mode — used by the CLI’s static build.
embedded_what_js: The framework JS embedded in this crate (crates/what-core/assets/client/what.js). Exposed so downstream crates that vendor their own copy can assert it hasn’t drifted.
render_page_to_html: Render a page to static HTML for pre-rendering / build output.
serve: Start the What server
serve_on_listener: Serve on an already-bound listener. Lets callers bind first — surfacing port-in-use errors before printing any success banner — then serve.
serve_with_shutdown: Start the server with graceful shutdown support. The shutdown future resolves when the server should stop accepting new connections.
