Adding `expressrs` library as a dependency

Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:

cargo add expressrs

To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:

expressrs = "0.1.6"

The expressrs library will be automatically available globally. Read the expressrs library documentation.

Example

// main.rs

use expressrs::ExpressLib;

fn main() {
    let express = ExpressLib::new();
    let mut app = express();

    // Create a directory called public/ that has index.html and script.js
    app.serve_directory("public");

    app.get("/", |_, res| {
        res.status(200).send_file("public/index.html");
    });

    app.listen(3030, |port| {
        println!("Server listening at http://localhost:{}", port);
    });
}

Query parameters example

// main.rs

use expressrs::ExpressLib;

fn main() {
    let express = ExpressLib::new();
    let mut app = express();

	// This will replace the response IF the query parameter is not found
    app.get("/:user", |_, res| {
		// IS required to be Some() (aka Something)
        println!("{:?}", req.queries.get("user"));
		// Can be None unless it is added to the query parameters
        println!("{:?}", req.queries.get("database"));
    });

    app.listen(3030, |port| {
        println!("Server listening at http://localhost:{}", port);
    });
}
