Tower Web

A web framework for Rust with a focus on removing boilerplate.

API Documentation

Tower Web is:

• Fast: Fully asynchronous, built on [Tokio] and [Hyper].
• Ergonomic: Tower-web decouples HTTP from your application logic, removing all boilerplate.
• Works on Rust stable: You can use it today.

Hello World

```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate tower_web; extern crate tokio;

use tower_web::ServiceBuilder; use tokio::prelude::*;

/// This type will be part of the web service as a resource.

[derive(Clone, Debug)]

struct HelloWorld;

/// This will be the JSON response

[derive(Response)]

struct HelloResponse { message: &'static str, }

implweb! { impl HelloWorld { #[get("/")] #[contenttype("json")] fn hello_world(&self) -> Result

pub fn main() { let addr = "127.0.0.1:8080".parse().expect("Invalid address"); println!("Listening on http://{}", addr);

ServiceBuilder::new()
    .resource(HelloWorld)
    .run(&addr)
    .unwrap();

} ```

Overview

Tower Web aims to decouple all HTTP concepts from the application logic. You define a "plain old Rust method" (PORM?). This method takes only the data it needs to complete and returns a struct representing the response. Tower Web does the rest.

The impl_web macro looks at the definition and generates the glue code, allowing the method to respond to HTTP requests.

Getting Started

The best way to get started is to read the [examples] and API docs.
