Basic Web Server for Roc
A webserver platform with a simple interface.
Write a function which takes a Http.Request
, perform I/O like fetching content or reading environment variables, and return a Http.Response
. It's that easy!
Behind the scenes, basic-webserver
uses Rust's high-performance hyper and tokio libraries to execute your Roc function on incoming requests.
--linker=legacy
is necessary for this package because of this Roc issue.
Hello world webserver:
app "helloweb"
packages { pf: "https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-webserver/releases/download/0.1/dCL3KsovvV-8A5D_W_0X_abynkcRcoAngsgF0xtvQsk.tar.br" }
imports [
pf.Stdout,
pf.Task.{ Task },
pf.Http.{ Request, Response },
pf.Utc,
]
provides [main] to pf
main : Request -> Task Response []
main = \req ->
# Log request date, method and url
date <- Utc.now |> Task.map Utc.toIso8601Str |> Task.await
{} <- Stdout.line "$(date) $(Http.methodToStr req.method) $(req.url)" |> Task.await
Task.ok { status: 200, headers: [], body: Str.toUtf8 "<b>Hello, world!</b>\n" }
Run this example server with $ roc run helloweb.roc --linker=legacy
and go to http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Run the following from the repository root directory.
- Run
bash platform/glue-gen.sh
- Manually fix any issues with glue generated code in
platform/glue-manual/*.rs
, this is a temporary workaround and should not be needed in future
