ApacheExpress allows you to quickly write Server Side Swift applications which run as a native module within the Apache Web Server.
TODO: Cleanup the README. mods_expressdemo
A very basic request/response handler:
public func ApacheMain(_ cmd: OpaquePointer) {
let app = ApacheExpress.express(cmd)
app.server.onRequest { req, res in
res.writeHead(200, [ "Content-Type": "text/html" ])
try res.end("<h1>Hello World</h1>")
}
}Connect like reusable middleware:
public func ApacheMain(_ cmd: OpaquePointer) {
let app = ApacheExpress.express(cmd)
app.use { req, res, next in
console.info("Request is passing Connect middleware ...")
res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
next()
}
app.use("/connect") { req, res, next in
try res.write("<p>This is a random cow:</p><pre>")
try res.write(vaca())
try res.write("</pre>")
res.end()
}
}And the Apache Express is about to leave:
public func ApacheMain(_ cmd: OpaquePointer) {
let app = apache.express(cookieParser(), session())
app.get("/express/cookies") { req, res, _ in
// returns all cookies as JSON
try res.json(req.cookies)
}
app.get("/express/") { req, res, _ in
let tagline = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(taglines.count))
let values : [ String : Any ] = [
"tagline" : taglines[Int(tagline)],
"viewCount" : req.session["viewCount"] ?? 0,
"cowOfTheDay" : cows.vaca()
]
try res.render("index", values)
}
}Yes. All that is running within Apache.
