{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} {- | Module : Servant.RawM Copyright : Dennis Gosnell 2017 License : BSD3 Maintainer : Dennis Gosnell (cdep.illabout@gmail.com) Krasjet (nil.krjst@gmail.com) This module defines the 'RawM' type that allows you to embed a WAI 'Network.Wai.Application' in your Servant API. It is similar to 'Servant.API.Raw.Raw' provided by Servant, but there is one big difference. 'RawM' allows you to use monadic effects to create the 'Network.Wai.Application'. What does this look like in practice? The following is an example of using 'RawM': @ import "Servant.RawM.Server" type Api = \"serve-directory-example\" :> 'RawM' serverRoot :: 'Servant.Server.ServerT' Api ('Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT' 'FilePath' 'IO') serverRoot = rawEndpoint rawEndpoint :: 'Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT' 'FilePath' 'IO' 'Network.Wai.Application' rawEndpoint = do filePath <- 'Control.Monad.Reader.ask' 'Servant.RawM.Server.serveDirectoryWebApp' filePath apiProxy :: 'Data.Proxy.Proxy' Api apiProxy = 'Data.Proxy.Proxy' app :: FilePath -> 'Network.Wai.Application' app filePath = 'Servant.Server.serve' apiProxy apiServer where apiServer :: 'Servant.Server.Server' Api apiServer = 'Servant.Server.hoistServer' apiProxy transformation serverRoot transformation :: 'Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT' 'FilePath' 'IO' a -> 'Servant.Server.Handler' a transformation readerT = 'Control.Monad.IO.Class.liftIO' $ 'Control.Monad.Reader.runReaderT' readerT filePath @ Notice how the above @rawEndpoint@ handler is able to get the @filePath@ from the 'Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT'. Using Servant's default 'Servant.API.Raw.Raw' type, @rawEndpoint@ would have to be written like the following: @ type Api\' = \"serve-directory-example\" :> 'Servant.API.Raw.Raw' serverRoot\' :: 'Server.ServerT' Api\' ('Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT' 'FilePath' 'IO') serverRoot\' = rawEndpoint\' rawEndpoint\' :: 'Data.Tagged.Tagged' ('Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT' 'FilePath' 'IO') 'Network.Wai.Application' rawEndpoint\' = ... @ @rawEndpoint\'@ does not have access to the 'Control.Monad.Reader.ReaderT' monad, so there is no way to get the directory path. 'RawM' solves this problem by allowing the 'Network.Wai.Application' to be produced monadically. There is an <https://github.com/cdepillabout/servant-rawm/tree/master/servant-rawm-examples-and-tests/example example> in the source code repository that shows a more in-depth server, client, and documentation. After @servant-rawm@ 1.0.0.0, the implementations for 'RawM' server, client, and documentation generator are divided into three packages: <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-rawm-server servant-rawm-server>, <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-rawm-client servant-rawm-client>, and <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-rawm-client servant-rawm-docs> to avoid pulling in unnecessary dependencies. This module is re-exported in "Servant.RawM.Server", "Servant.RawM.Client", and "Servant.RawM.Docs", so you don't need to import this module explicitly. Import the corresponding implementation instead. -} module Servant.RawM ( -- * 'RawM' API parameter RawM , RawM' , FileServer ) where import Data.Typeable (Typeable) import Servant.Links (HasLink, MkLink, toLink) -- | Specialization of 'RawM'' to 'FileServer'.
