Funweb is a purely functional web programming toolkit for Scala. Request handlers are specified as '(Request) => Response' function literals.
Current Features
================
- Request and Response API
- HTTP request dispatching framework, with regular expression routes and fixed routes supported out of the box. User-defined routing rules are possible.
- A Jetty handler that dispatches requests to request handler functions
- Various convenience classes for building typical responses, such as text/html, redirects, 404, 500, etc.
Upcoming Features
=================
- Async support with Jetty and Scala 2.8 continuations
Example
=======
object ExampleServer {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val router = new Router(
(FixedRoute("GET", "/"), (request: Request) => new HtmlResponse("<html><body>homepage</body></html>"))
:: (RegexRoute("GET", "/person/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/profile", List("username")), (request: Request) => new TextResponse("hello, " + request.routeParam("username")))
:: (FixedRoute("GET", "/README"), (request: Request) => new FileResponse(new File("README")))
:: Nil
)
val server = new Server(9999);
server.setHandler(new FunwebJettyHandler(router));
server.start();
}
