REST server in rust

rest_server

This program is a minimal REST server framework in rust

Warning!

This program is still in development

Feature to add:

• Parsing request header and send response header
• Add more status code than 200 and 404
• Don't support authentification natively (won't add support shortly as you can made it yourself when #1 will be done)
• Support other method than get and post

I'm only support http/1.1 and won't support 2.0

Usage example

fn main() {
    let mut app: Server = Server::new();
    app.set_number_of_worker(8);
    app.get(String::from("/"), Box::new(index));
    app.listen(7878);
    println!("Shutting down.")
}

fn index(_request: Request, mut response: Response) {
    let content = "Hello";
    response.set_status(Status::from(200));
    response.set_body(content);
    response.send();
}

Contribution

If you have an idea to implement, please post a issue, I'll receive PR about this fonctionnality after I validated it on issues page.

rest_server's Issues

[FEATURE] Route parameters

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Can't set uri path like: /users/:id/profile and get the id

Describe the solution you'd like
Something like app.get('/users/:id/profile') and when client send a request at /users/5/profile, request.get_param('id') return 5

Additional context
Express.js actually have this functionnality

[BUG] server route is static and we can't create 2 servers on the same app

Describe the bug
server routing is a static variable and is used by every Server instance, modifying one server route will have the same effect on every other server

To Reproduce

1. Create 2 servers
2. Make differents routing for them
3. Listen on different port (create 1 thread per server)
4. Try a route for server 1 on server 2 port and you'll see server 1 result

Expected behavior
Route should be defined per servers
