Handler monad

type GHandler sub master = GGHandler sub master (Iteratee ByteString IO)Source

data GGHandler sub master m a Source

A generic handler monad, which can have a different subsite and master site. This monad is a combination of ReaderT for basic arguments, a WriterT for headers and session, and an MEitherT monad for handling special responses. It is declared as a newtype to make compiler errors more readable.

Instances

Monad monad => Failure ErrorResponse (GGHandler sub master monad) 
MonadTransPeel (GGHandler s m) 
MonadTrans (GGHandler s m) 
Monad m => Monad (GGHandler sub master m) 
Functor m => Functor (GGHandler sub master m) 
(Monad m, Functor m) => Applicative (GGHandler sub master m) 
MonadPeelIO m => MonadPeelIO (GGHandler sub master m) 
MonadIO m => MonadIO (GGHandler sub master m) 

Read information from handler

getYesod :: Monad m => GGHandler sub master m masterSource

Get the master site appliation argument.

getYesodSub :: Monad m => GGHandler sub master m subSource

Get the sub application argument.

getUrlRender :: Monad m => GGHandler sub master m (Route master -> String)Source

Get the URL rendering function.

getUrlRenderParams :: Monad m => GGHandler sub master m (Route master -> [(String, String)] -> String)Source

The URL rendering function with query-string parameters.

getCurrentRoute :: Monad m => GGHandler sub master m (Maybe (Route sub))Source

Get the route requested by the user. If this is a 404 response- where the user requested an invalid route- this function will return Nothing.

getRouteToMaster :: Monad m => GGHandler sub master m (Route sub -> Route master)Source

Get the function to promote a route for a subsite to a route for the master site.

Special responses

Redirecting

data RedirectType Source

Different types of redirects.

redirect :: Monad mo => RedirectType -> Route master -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Redirect to the given route.

redirectParams :: Monad mo => RedirectType -> Route master -> [(String, String)] -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Redirects to the given route with the associated query-string parameters.

redirectString :: Monad mo => RedirectType -> ByteString -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Redirect to the given URL.

redirectToPost :: Monad mo => Route master -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Redirect to a POST resource.

This is not technically a redirect; instead, it returns an HTML page with a POST form, and some Javascript to automatically submit the form. This can be useful when you need to post a plain link somewhere that needs to cause changes on the server.

Errors

notFound :: Failure ErrorResponse m => m aSource

Return a 404 not found page. Also denotes no handler available.

badMethod :: (RequestReader m, Failure ErrorResponse m) => m aSource

Return a 405 method not supported page.

permissionDenied :: Failure ErrorResponse m => String -> m aSource

Return a 403 permission denied page.

invalidArgs :: Failure ErrorResponse m => [String] -> m aSource

Return a 400 invalid arguments page.

Short-circuit responses.

sendFile :: Monad mo => ContentType -> FilePath -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Bypass remaining handler code and output the given file.

For some backends, this is more efficient than reading in the file to memory, since they can optimize file sending via a system call to sendfile.

sendResponse :: (Monad mo, HasReps c) => c -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Bypass remaining handler code and output the given content with a 200 status code.

sendResponseStatus :: (Monad mo, HasReps c) => Status -> c -> GGHandler s m mo aSource

Bypass remaining handler code and output the given content with the given status code.

sendResponseCreated :: Monad mo => Route m -> GGHandler s m mo aSource

Send a 201 Created response with the given route as the Location response header.

sendWaiResponse :: Monad mo => Response -> GGHandler s m mo bSource

Send a Response. Please note: this function is rarely necessary, and will disregard any changes to response headers and session that you have already specified. This function short-circuits. It should be considered only for very specific needs. If you are not sure if you need it, you don't.

Setting headers

setCookieSource

Arguments

:: Monad mo 
=> Int

minutes to timeout

-> ByteString

key

-> ByteString

value

-> GGHandler sub master mo () 

Set the cookie on the client.

deleteCookie :: Monad mo => ByteString -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Unset the cookie on the client.

setHeader :: Monad mo => ResponseHeader -> ByteString -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Set an arbitrary response header.

setLanguage :: Monad mo => String -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Set the language in the user session. Will show up in languages on the next request.

Content caching and expiration

cacheSeconds :: Monad mo => Int -> GGHandler s m mo ()Source

Set the Cache-Control header to indicate this response should be cached for the given number of seconds.

neverExpires :: Monad mo => GGHandler s m mo ()Source

Set the Expires header to some date in 2037. In other words, this content is never (realistically) expired.

alreadyExpired :: Monad mo => GGHandler s m mo ()Source

Set an Expires header in the past, meaning this content should not be cached.

expiresAt :: Monad mo => UTCTime -> GGHandler s m mo ()Source

Set an Expires header to the given date.

Session

lookupSession :: Monad mo => ParamName -> GGHandler s m mo (Maybe ParamValue)Source

Lookup for session data.

getSession :: Monad mo => GGHandler s m mo SessionMapSource

Get all session variables.

setSessionSource

Arguments

:: Monad mo 
=> String

key

-> String

value

-> GGHandler sub master mo () 

Set a variable in the user's session.

The session is handled by the clientsession package: it sets an encrypted and hashed cookie on the client. This ensures that all data is secure and not tampered with.

deleteSession :: Monad mo => String -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Unsets a session variable. See setSession.

Ultimate destination

setUltDest :: Monad mo => Route master -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Sets the ultimate destination variable to the given route.

An ultimate destination is stored in the user session and can be loaded later by redirectUltDest.

setUltDestString :: Monad mo => String -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Same as setUltDest, but use the given string.

setUltDest' :: Monad mo => GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Same as setUltDest, but uses the current page.

If this is a 404 handler, there is no current page, and then this call does nothing.

redirectUltDestSource

Arguments

:: Monad mo 
=> RedirectType 
-> Route master

default destination if nothing in session

-> GGHandler sub master mo () 

Redirect to the ultimate destination in the user's session. Clear the value from the session.

The ultimate destination is set with setUltDest.

Messages

setMessage :: Monad mo => Html -> GGHandler sub master mo ()Source

Sets a message in the user's session.

See getMessage.

getMessage :: Monad mo => GGHandler sub master mo (Maybe Html)Source

Gets the message in the user's session, if available, and then clears the variable.

See setMessage.

Helpers for specific content

Hamlet

hamletToContent :: Monad mo => Hamlet (Route master) -> GGHandler sub master mo ContentSource

Converts the given Hamlet template into Content, which can be used in a Yesod Response.

hamletToRepHtml :: Monad mo => Hamlet (Route master) -> GGHandler sub master mo RepHtmlSource

Wraps the Content generated by hamletToContent in a RepHtml.

Misc

newIdent :: Monad mo => GGHandler sub master mo StringSource

Get a unique identifier.

liftIOHandler :: MonadIO mo => GGHandler sub master IO a -> GGHandler sub master mo aSource

Internal Yesod

runHandler :: HasReps c => GHandler sub master c -> (Route master -> [(String, String)] -> String) -> Maybe (Route sub) -> (Route sub -> Route master) -> master -> sub -> YesodAppSource

Function used internally by Yesod in the process of converting a GHandler into an Application. Should not be needed by users.

newtype YesodApp Source

An extension of the basic WAI Application datatype to provide extra features needed by Yesod. Users should never need to use this directly, as the GHandler monad and template haskell code should hide it away.

runSubsiteGetter :: SubsiteGetter g m s => g -> m sSource

toMasterHandler :: (Route sub -> Route master) -> (master -> sub) -> Route sub -> GGHandler sub master mo a -> GGHandler sub' master mo aSource

Used internally for promoting subsite handler functions to master site handler functions. Should not be needed by users.

toMasterHandlerDyn :: Monad mo => (Route sub -> Route master) -> GGHandler sub' master mo sub -> Route sub -> GGHandler sub master mo a -> GGHandler sub' master mo aSource

toMasterHandlerMaybe :: (Route sub -> Route master) -> (master -> sub) -> Maybe (Route sub) -> GGHandler sub master mo a -> GGHandler sub' master mo aSource

localNoCurrent :: Monad mo => GGHandler s m mo a -> GGHandler s m mo aSource

data HandlerData sub master Source

data ErrorResponse Source

Responses to indicate some form of an error occurred. These are different from SpecialResponse in that they allow for custom error pages.
