Kitura Until Dawn: A Kitura guidebook (WIP)

Kitura Until Dawn

A Comprehensive Introduction to the Kitura Web Development Framework

This book is an introductory guidebook or tutorial for teaching existing Swift developers to develop web sites and services using the Kitura web framework. This version of the book covers Kitura 2 running on Swift 4.

Kitura Until Dawn is available in a wide variety of formats. If you’re not currently reading this book in the manner that you would prefer, and/or the information within it seems to be out of date, please check out the Kitura Until Dawn web site for alternative formats and updated content.

This Book is Free!

But if you find this or my other projects to be useful to you, please consider sponsoring me on Patreon! Your support will go a long way towards helping keep my work on these sorts of free projects financially viable.

Kitura Until Dawn is still being written, and may, in fact, never be finished as Swift and Kitura continue to evolve. Feedback and bug reports are welcome! Please file an issue or pull request on this book's GitHub project or email the author at [email protected].

This book is dedicated to Commodore International and the team behind the Commodore 64, the little brown-and-tan wedge that made me the hopeless nerd I am today. Big thanks also go out to the intelligent, kind, and patient people on the Swift@IBM Slack server and the lovable curmudgeons in the Freenode #iphonedev-chat channel.

Codable Json Results not represented in Chapter 2.

instead of

For those of you interested in using Kitura to build a REST API server, you might be glad to know that RouterResponse has many methods for sending JSON responses, including the following two for sending a response currently in the form of a Foundation JSON object and a [String: Any] dictionary, respectively:

@discardableResult public func send(json: JSON) -> RouterResponse
​
@discardableResult public func send(json: [String: Any]) -> RouterResponse

maybe talk about Codable responses?
