{-# OPTIONS -XPatternSignatures #-} module ControllerBasic where import HAppS.Server import Misc import Data.Monoid import Control.Monad.Trans import Text.StringTemplate {- ServerPartTs take a request to a response, approximately like so Request -> WebT -> Result -> Response Request handlers are functions from a request to a WebT, WebT is a wrapper over a Result, and a Response is extracted from a Result by monadic machinery which you don't need to understand for now. A HAppS Server is generally a list of ServerPartTs. When the wrapped functions are run, either they result in NoHandle or a valid response. If there's a valid response, it gets displayed. If NoHandle, control is passed to the next ServerPartT/handler in the list. If all the handlers produce NoHandle as a result, the result is a 404.
