This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.
A Haskell web framework heavily influenced by the excellent Scotty,
which was in turn influenced by Ruby's Sinatra.
Welshy strives to make it easier to do error handling without overly
complicating the control flow. An example:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Control.Applicative
import Control.Monad
import qualified Data.Text.Lazy as T
import Network.HTTP.Types
import Web.Welshy
fibs :: [Int]
fibs = 0 : 1 : zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs)
main :: IO ()
main = welshy 3000 $ do
get "/fibs" $ do
offset <- queryParam "offset" <|> return 0
length <- queryParam "length"
when (offset < 0 || length < 0)
(halt $ status badRequest400)
when (offset + length > 1000)
(halt $ status requestedRangeNotSatisfiable416)
let result = take length $ drop offset fibs
text $ T.pack $ show result
Some of the features demonstrated here:
You can halt the current action at any point and continue
with a different one.
Functions like queryParam and jsonParam have built-in error handling.
Welshy's Action monad is an instance of Alternative.
