A Scala web app routing library for use with Circlet

Usher

Usher is a simple routing library for Scala, and is built on Circlet. Routes are just Handler functions, and are easily composed. Usher is heavily inspired by Compojure.

val app: Handler = routes(
  GET("/") { _ => Response(body = "Usher demo\n") },
  POST("/widget") { req => ... },             // C
  GET("/widget/:id{\\d+}") { req => ... },    // R
  PUT("/widget/:id{\\d+}") { req => ... },    // U
  DELETE("/widget/:id{\\d+}") { req => ... }, // D
  notFound("Computer said no.\n")
)
JettyAdapter.run(app)

Project Goals

In priority order:

1. Composable routes
2. Maintainable code
3. Type safe
4. Fast enough

TODO

• fancy type safe routes idea
• context for nesting routes a la Compojure - https://github.com/weavejester/compojure/wiki/Nesting-routes
• option to index routes (trie?) for faster matching
• middleware to automatically generate Allow header (?)
