Routing handler for the Iron web framework.
Router is a fast, convenient, and flexible routing middleware for Iron. It allows complex glob patterns and named url parameters and also allows handlers to be any Handler, including all Chains.
fn main() {
let mut router = Router::new(); // Alternative syntax:
router.get("/", handler); // let router = router!(get "/" => handler,
router.get("/:query", handler); // get "/:query" => handler);
Iron::new(router).http("localhost:3000").unwrap();
fn handler(req: &mut Request) -> IronResult<Response> {
let ref query = req.extensions.get::<Router>().unwrap().find("query").unwrap_or("/");
Ok(Response::with((status::Ok, *query)))
}
}Router is a part of Iron's core bundle.
- Route client requests based on their paths
- Parse parameters and provide them to other middleware/handlers
