Web.Scotty.Trans.Strict

This module is essentially identical to Web.Scotty.Trans, except that some functions take/return strict Text instead of the lazy ones.

It should be noted that most of the code snippets below depend on the OverloadedStrings language pragma.

The functions in this module allow an arbitrary monad to be embedded in Scotty's monad transformer stack in order that Scotty be combined with other DSLs.

Scotty is set up by default for development mode. For production servers, you will likely want to modify settings and the defaultHandler. See the comments on each of these functions for more information.

Defining Middleware and Routes

11 declarations

Middleware and routes are run in the order in which they are defined. All middleware is run first, followed by the first route that matches. If no route matches, a 404 response is given.

valuemiddleware :: Middleware -> ScottyT m ()
#

Use given middleware. Middleware is nested such that the first declared is the outermost middleware (it has first dibs on the request and last action on the response). Every middleware is run on each request.

valueaddroute
  1. :: MonadUnliftIO m
  2. => StdMethod
  3. -> RoutePattern
  4. -> ActionT m ()
  5. -> ScottyT m ()
#

Define a route with a StdMethod, a route pattern representing the path spec, and an Action which may modify the response.

get "/" $ text "beam me up!"

The path spec can include values starting with a colon, which are interpreted as captures. These are parameters that can be looked up with pathParam.

Example1 expression
:{let server = S.get "/foo/:bar" (S.pathParam "bar" >>= S.text) in do      withScotty server $ curl "http://localhost:3000/foo/something":}"something"
valuenotFound :: MonadUnliftIO m => ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()
#

Specify an action to take if nothing else is found. Note: this _always_ matches, so should generally be the last route specified.

valuesetMaxRequestBodySize
  1. :: Kilobytes

    Request size limit

  2. -> ScottyT m ()
#

Set global size limit for the request body. Requests with body size exceeding the limit will not be processed and an HTTP response 413 will be returned to the client. Size limit needs to be greater than 0, otherwise the application will terminate on start.

Route Patterns

valuecapture :: String -> RoutePattern
#

Standard Sinatra-style route. Named captures are prepended with colons. This is the default route type generated by OverloadedString routes. i.e.

get (capture "/foo/:bar") $ ...

and

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
...
get "/foo/:bar" $ ...

are equivalent.

valueregex :: String -> RoutePattern
#

Match requests using a regular expression. Named captures are not yet supported.

Example1 expression
:{let server = S.get (S.regex "^/f(.*)r$") $ do                cap <- S.pathParam "1"                S.text cap in do      withScotty server $ curl "http://localhost:3000/foo/bar":}"oo/ba"
valuefunction :: (Request -> Maybe [Param]) -> RoutePattern
#

Build a route based on a function which can match using the entire Request object. Nothing indicates the route does not match. A Just value indicates a successful match, optionally returning a list of key-value pairs accessible by param.

Example1 expression
:{let server = S.get (function $ \req -> Just [("version", T.pack $ show $ W.httpVersion req)]) $ do                v <- S.pathParam "version"                S.text v in do      withScotty server $ curl "http://localhost:3000/":}"HTTP/1.1"

Accessing the Request, Captures, and Query Parameters

valueparam :: (Parsable a, MonadIO m) => Text -> ActionT m a
#

Deprecated. (#204) Not a good idea to treat all parameters identically. Use captureParam, formParam and queryParam instead.

Get a parameter. First looks in captures, then form data, then query parameters.

  • Raises an exception which can be caught by catch if parameter is not found.

  • If parameter is found, but parseParam fails to parse to the correct type, next is called. This means captures are somewhat typed, in that a route won't match if a correctly typed capture cannot be parsed.

valueparams :: Monad m => ActionT m [Param]
#

Deprecated. (#204) Not a good idea to treat all parameters identically. Use pathParams, formParams and queryParams instead.

Get all parameters from path, form and query (in that order).

valueformParam :: (MonadUnliftIO m, Parsable b) => Text -> ActionT m b
#

Look up a form parameter.

  • Raises an exception which can be caught by catch if parameter is not found. If the exception is not caught, scotty will return a HTTP error code 400 ("Bad Request") to the client.

  • This function raises a code 400 also if the parameter is found, but parseParam fails to parse to the correct type.

Since: 0.20

valuequeryParam :: (Parsable a, MonadIO m) => Text -> ActionT m a
#

Look up a query parameter.

  • Raises an exception which can be caught by catch if parameter is not found. If the exception is not caught, scotty will return a HTTP error code 400 ("Bad Request") to the client.

  • This function raises a code 400 also if the parameter is found, but parseParam fails to parse to the correct type.

Since: 0.20

valuecaptureParamMaybe :: (Parsable a, Monad m) => Text -> ActionT m (Maybe a)
#

Look up a capture parameter. Returns Nothing if the parameter is not found or cannot be parsed at the right type.

NB : Doesn't throw exceptions. In particular, route pattern matching will not continue, so developers must raiseStatus or throw to signal something went wrong.

Since: 0.21

Modifying the Response and Redirecting

valuesetHeader :: MonadIO m => Text -> Text -> ActionT m ()
#

Set one of the response headers. Will override any previously set value for that header. Header names are case-insensitive.

valueredirect :: Monad m => Text -> ActionT m a
#

Redirect to given URL. Like throwing an uncatchable exception. Any code after the call to redirect will not be run.

redirect "http://www.google.com"

OR

redirect "/foo/bar"

Setting Response Body

Note: only one of these should be present in any given route definition, as they completely replace the current Response body.

valuetext :: MonadIO m => Text -> ActionT m ()
#

Set the body of the response to the given Text value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "text/plain; charset=utf-8" if it has not already been set.

valuehtml :: MonadIO m => Text -> ActionT m ()
#

Set the body of the response to the given Text value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "text/html; charset=utf-8" if it has not already been set.

valuefile :: MonadIO m => FilePath -> ActionT m ()
#

Send a file as the response. Doesn't set the "Content-Type" header, so you probably want to do that on your own with setHeader. Setting a status code will have no effect because Warp will overwrite that to 200 (see sendResponse).

valuejson :: (ToJSON a, MonadIO m) => a -> ActionT m ()
#

Set the body of the response to the JSON encoding of the given value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "application/json; charset=utf-8" if it has not already been set.

valuetextLazy :: MonadIO m => Text -> ActionT m ()
#

Set the body of the response to the given Text value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "text/plain; charset=utf-8" if it has not already been set.

valuehtmlLazy :: MonadIO m => Text -> ActionT m ()
#

Set the body of the response to the given Text value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "text/html; charset=utf-8" if it has not already been set.

Accessing the fields of the Response

Exceptions

valueraise
  1. :: MonadIO m
  2. => Text

    Error text

  3. -> ActionT m a
#

Deprecated. Throw an exception instead

Throw a "500 Server Error" StatusError, which can be caught with catch.

Uncaught exceptions turn into HTTP 500 responses.

valueraiseStatus :: Monad m => Status -> Text -> ActionT m a
#

Deprecated. Use status, text, and finish instead

Throw a StatusError exception that has an associated HTTP error code and can be caught with catch.

Uncaught exceptions turn into HTTP responses corresponding to the given status.

valuethrow :: (MonadIO m, Exception e) => e -> ActionT m a
#

Throw an exception which can be caught within the scope of the current Action with catch.

If the exception is not caught locally, another option is to implement a global Handler (with defaultHandler) that defines its interpretation and a translation to HTTP error codes.

Uncaught exceptions turn into HTTP 500 responses.

valuenext :: Monad m => ActionT m a
#

Abort execution of this action and continue pattern matching routes. Like an exception, any code after next is not executed.

NB : Internally, this is implemented with an exception that can only be caught by the library, but not by the user.

As an example, these two routes overlap. The only way the second one will ever run is if the first one calls next.

get "/foo/:bar" $ do
  w :: Text <- pathParam "bar"
  unless (w == "special") next
  text "You made a request to /foo/special"

get "/foo/:baz" $ do
  w <- pathParam "baz"
  text $ "You made a request to: " <> w
valuefinish :: Monad m => ActionT m a
#

Finish the execution of the current action. Like throwing an uncatchable exception. Any code after the call to finish will not be run.

Since: 0.10.3

datadata StatusError
#

Deprecated. If it is supposed to be caught, a proper exception type should be defined

E.g. when a parameter is not found in a query string (400 Bad Request) or when parsing a JSON body fails (422 Unprocessable Entity)
