Web.Spock

Spock's core functions, types and helpers

spock :: Int -> StorageLayer conn -> st -> SpockM conn sess st () -> IO ()

Run a spock application using the warp server, a given db storageLayer and an initial state

authed :: StdMethod -> [Text] -> RoutePattern -> (conn -> sess -> IO (Maybe user)) -> (conn -> user -> [Text] -> IO Bool) -> (user -> ActionT (WebStateM conn sess st) ()) -> SpockM conn sess st ()

Before the request is performed, you can check if the signed in user has permissions to view the contents of the request. You may want to define a helper function that proxies this function to not pass around loadUser and checkRights all the time

runQuery :: MonadTrans t => (conn -> IO a) -> t (WebStateM conn sess st) a

getState :: MonadTrans t => t (WebStateM conn sess st) st

data StdMethod

type SpockM conn sess st a = ScottyT (WebStateM conn sess st) a

authedUser :: user -> (user -> sess) -> ActionT (WebStateM conn sess st) ()

After checking that a login was successfull, register the usersId into the session and create a session cookie for later authed requests to work properly

unauthCurrent :: ActionT (WebStateM conn sess st) ()

Destroy the current users session

Reexports from scotty

middleware :: Monad m => 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.

get :: MonadIO m => RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

get = addroute GET

post :: MonadIO m => RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

post = addroute POST

put :: MonadIO m => RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

put = addroute PUT

delete :: MonadIO m => RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

delete = addroute DELETE

patch :: MonadIO m => RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

patch = addroute PATCH

addroute :: MonadIO m => StdMethod -> RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

Define a route with a StdMethod, Text value representing the path spec, and a body (Action) which modifies the response.

 addroute GET "/" $ text "beam me up!"

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

 addroute GET "/foo/:bar" $ do
     v <- param "bar"
     text v

>>> curl http://localhost:3000/foo/something
something

matchAny :: MonadIO m => RoutePattern -> ActionT m () -> ScottyT m ()

Add a route that matches regardless of the HTTP verb.

notFound :: MonadIO 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.

status :: Monad m => Status -> ActionT m ()

Set the HTTP response status. Default is 200.

addHeader :: Monad m => Text -> Text -> ActionT m ()

Add to the response headers. Header names are case-insensitive.

setHeader :: Monad 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.

redirect :: 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"

text :: Monad m => Text -> ActionT m ()

Set the body of the response to the given Text value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "text/plain".

html :: Monad m => Text -> ActionT m ()

Set the body of the response to the given Text value. Also sets "Content-Type" header to "text/html".

file :: Monad 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 header.

json :: (ToJSON a, Monad 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".

source :: Monad m => Source (ResourceT IO) (Flush Builder) -> ActionT m ()

Set the body of the response to a Source. Doesn't set the "Content-Type" header, so you probably want to do that on your own with header.

raw :: Monad m => ByteString -> ActionT m ()

Set the body of the response to the given ByteString value. Doesn't set the "Content-Type" header, so you probably want to do that on your own with header.

raise :: Monad m => Text -> ActionT m a

Throw an exception, which can be caught with rescue. Uncaught exceptions turn into HTTP 500 responses.

rescue :: Monad m => ActionT m a -> (Text -> ActionT m a) -> ActionT m a

Catch an exception thrown by raise.

 raise "just kidding" `rescue` (\msg -> text msg)

next :: 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.

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/:number" $ do
   n <- param "number"
   unless (all isDigit n) $ next
   text "a number"

 get "/foo/:bar" $ do
   bar <- param "bar"
   text "not a number"
