fn: A functional web framework.

This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.

Warnings:

A Haskell web framework where you write plain old functions.

Provided you have stack installed, you can run this example like a shell script:

#!/usr/bin/env stack
-- stack --resolver lts-3.10 --install-ghc runghc --package fn
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Data.Monoid ((<>))
import Data.Text (Text)
import Network.Wai (Response)
import Network.Wai.Handler.Warp (run)
import Web.Fn

data Ctxt = Ctxt { _req :: FnRequest }
instance RequestContext Ctxt where
  getRequest = _req
  setRequest c r = c { _req = r }

initializer :: IO Ctxt
initializer = return (Ctxt defaultFnRequest)

main :: IO ()
main = do ctxt <- initializer
          run 3000 $ toWAI ctxt site

site :: Ctxt -> IO Response
site ctxt = route ctxt [ end                        ==> indexH
                       , path "echo" /? param "msg" ==> echoH
                       , path "echo" // segment     ==> echoH
                       ]
                  `fallthrough` notFoundText "Page not found."

indexH :: Ctxt -> IO (Maybe Response)
indexH _ = okText "Try visiting /echo?msg=hello or /echo/hello"

echoH :: Ctxt -> Text -> IO (Maybe Response)
echoH _ msg = okText $ "Echoing '" <> msg <> "'."

Fn lets you write web code that just looks like normal Haskell code.

The name comes from the fact that Fn emphasizes functions (over monads), where all necessary data is passed via function arguments, and control flow is mediated by return values.

[back to package description]

Fn (eff-enn) - a functional web framework.

Or, how to do away with the monad transformers, and just use plain functions.

Example

See the example application in the repository for a full usage including database access, heist templates, sessions, etc.
