Salvo is an extremely simple and powerful Rust web backend framework. Only basic Rust knowledge is required to develop backend services.

🎯 Features

  • Built with Hyper and Tokio;
  • HTTP1, HTTP2 and HTTP3;
  • Unified middleware and handle interface;
  • Limitless routers nesting;
  • Every router can have one or many middlewares;
  • Integrated Multipart form processing;
  • Support WebSocket;
  • Support OpenAPI;
  • Acme support, automatically get TLS certificate from let's encrypt.

⚡️ Quick start

You can view samples here, or view offical website.

Create a new rust project:

cargo new hello_salvo --bin

Add this to Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
salvo = { version= "*" }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros"] }

Create a simple function handler in the main.rs file, we call it hello, this function just render plain text "Hello World".

use salvo::prelude::*;

#[handler]
async fn hello(res: &mut Response) {
    res.render(Text::Plain("Hello World"));
}

In the main function, we need to create a root Router first, and then create a server and call it's bind function:

use salvo::prelude::*;

#[handler]
async fn hello() -> &'static str {
    "Hello World"
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let router = Router::new().get(hello);
    let acceptor = TcpListener::new("127.0.0.1:5800").bind().await;
    Server::new(acceptor).serve(router).await;
}

Middleware

There is no difference between Handler and Middleware, Middleware is just Handler. So you can write middlewares without to know concepts like associated type, generic type. You can write middleware if you can write function!!!

use salvo::http::header::{self, HeaderValue};
use salvo::prelude::*;

#[handler]
async fn add_header(res: &mut Response) {
    res.headers_mut()
        .insert(header::SERVER, HeaderValue::from_static("Salvo"));
}

Then add it to router:

Router::new().hoop(add_header).get(hello)

This is a very simple middleware, it adds Header to Response, view full source code.

Chainable tree routing system

Normally we write routing like this：

Router::with_path("articles").get(list_articles).post(create_article);
Router::with_path("articles/<id>")
    .get(show_article)
    .patch(edit_article)
    .delete(delete_article);

Often viewing articles and article lists does not require user login, but creating, editing, deleting articles, etc. require user login authentication permissions. The tree-like routing system in Salvo can meet this demand. We can write routers without user login together:

Router::with_path("articles")
    .get(list_articles)
    .push(Router::with_path("<id>").get(show_article));

Then write the routers that require the user to login together, and use the corresponding middleware to verify whether the user is logged in:

Router::with_path("articles")
    .hoop(auth_check)
    .post(list_articles)
    .push(Router::with_path("<id>").patch(edit_article).delete(delete_article));

Although these two routes have the same path("articles"), they can still be added to the same parent route at the same time, so the final route looks like this:

Router::new()
    .push(
        Router::with_path("articles")
            .get(list_articles)
            .push(Router::with_path("<id>").get(show_article)),
    )
    .push(
        Router::with_path("articles")
            .hoop(auth_check)
            .post(list_articles)
            .push(Router::with_path("<id>").patch(edit_article).delete(delete_article)),
    );

<id> matches a fragment in the path, under normal circumstances, the article id is just a number, which we can use regular expressions to restrict id matching rules, r"<id:/\d+/>".

You can also use <*> or <**> to match all remaining path fragments. In order to make the code more readable, you can also add appropriate name to make the path semantics more clear, for example: <**file_path>.

Some regular expressions for matching paths need to be used frequently, and it can be registered in advance, such as GUID:

PathFilter::register_wisp_regex(
    "guid",
    Regex::new("[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-([0-9a-fA-F]{4}-){3}[0-9a-fA-F]{12}").unwrap(),
);

This makes it more concise when path matching is required:

Router::with_path("<id:guid>").get(index)

File upload

We can get file async by the function file in Request:

#[handler]
async fn upload(req: &mut Request, res: &mut Response) {
    let file = req.file("file").await;
    if let Some(file) = file {
        let dest = format!("temp/{}", file.name().unwrap_or_else(|| "file".into()));
        if let Err(e) = tokio::fs::copy(&file.path, Path::new(&dest)).await {
            res.status_code(StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
        } else {
            res.render("Ok");
        }
    } else {
        res.status_code(StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST);
    }
}

Extract data from request

You can easily get data from multiple different data sources and assemble it into the type you want. You can define a custom type first, for example:

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Extractible, Debug)]
/// Get the data field value from the body by default.
#[extract(default_source(from = "body"))]
struct GoodMan<'a> {
    /// The id number is obtained from the request path parameter, and the data is automatically parsed as i64 type.
    #[extract(source(from = "param"))]
    id: i64,
    /// Reference types can be used to avoid memory copying.
    username: &'a str,
    first_name: String,
    last_name: String,
}

Then in Handler you can get the data like this:

#[handler]
async fn edit(req: &mut Request) {
    let good_man: GoodMan<'_> = req.extract().await.unwrap();
}

You can even pass the type directly to the function as a parameter, like this:

#[handler]
async fn edit<'a>(good_man: GoodMan<'a>) {
    res.render(Json(good_man));
}

OpenAPI Supported

Perfect support for OpenAPI can be achieved without making significant changes to the project.

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, ToSchema, Debug)]
struct MyObject<T: ToSchema + std::fmt::Debug> {
    value: T,
}

#[endpoint]
async fn use_string(body: JsonBody<MyObject<String>>, res: &mut Response) {
    res.render(format!("{:?}", body))
}
#[endpoint]
async fn use_i32(body: JsonBody<MyObject<i32>>, res: &mut Response) {
    res.render(format!("{:?}", body))
}
#[endpoint]
async fn use_u64(body: JsonBody<MyObject<u64>>, res: &mut Response) {
    res.render(format!("{:?}", body))
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    tracing_subscriber::fmt().init();

    let router = Router::new()
        .push(Router::with_path("i32").post(use_i32))
        .push(Router::with_path("u64").post(use_u64))
        .push(Router::with_path("string").post(use_string));

    let doc = OpenApi::new(Info::new("test api", "0.0.1")).merge_router(&router);

    let router = router
        .push(doc.into_router("/api-doc/openapi.json"))
        .push(SwaggerUi::new("/api-doc/openapi.json").into_router("swagger-ui"));

    let acceptor = TcpListener::new("127.0.0.1:5800").bind().await;
    Server::new(acceptor).serve(router).await;
}
