Checkout the ApacheExpress README. ExExpress is a server-independent Express toolkit for Swift. ApacheExpress is using that by providing the HTTP 'driver' for ExExpress.
TODO: Cleanup the README.
Fair enough. So we integrated a tiny subset of Noze.io to allow you to do just that. This is what it looks like:
server.onRequest { req, res in
res.writeHead(200, [ "Content-Type": "text/html" ])
try res.end("<h1>Hello World</h1>")
}
Now you are saying, this is all nice and pretty. But what about Connect? I want to write and reuse middleware! Here you go:
let app = server.connect()
app.use { req, res, next in
console.info("Request is passing Connect middleware ...")
res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
// Note: we do not close the request, we continue with the next middleware
try next()
}
app.use("/express/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 Express? Sure, the ExExpress is about to leave:
let app = server.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)
}

mod_swift, ApacheExpress and ExExpress are brought to you by ZeeZide. We like feedback, GitHub stars, cool contract work, presumably any form of praise you can think of.
There is a #mod_swift
channel on the Noze.io Slack.
