{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-} {- | @web-routes-boomerang@ makes it easy to use write custom pretty-printers and parsers for your URL types. Instead of writing a parser and a separate pretty-printer you can specify both at once by using the @boomerang@ library: <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/boomerang> This demo will show the basics of getting started. First we need to enable some language extensions: @{\-\# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, TypeOperators, OverloadedStrings \#-\} @ > {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, TypeOperators, OverloadedStrings #-} > module Main where Note in the imports that we hide @(id, (.))@ from the "Prelude" and use the versions from "Control.Category" instead. > import Prelude hiding (id, (.)) > import Control.Category (Category(id, (.))) > import Control.Monad.Trans (MonadIO(liftIO)) > import Text.Boomerang.TH (makeBoomerangs) > import Web.Routes (Site(..), RouteT(..), decodePathInfo, encodePathInfo, runSite, showURL) > import Web.Routes.Boomerang (Router, (<>), (</>), int, parse1, boomerangSiteRouteT, anyString, parseStrings) Next we define a data type that represents our sitemap. > -- | the routes > data Sitemap > = Home > | UserOverview > | UserDetail Int > | Article Int String > deriving (Eq, Show) To use the 'Sitemap' type with @boomerang@ we need to call 'makeBoomerangs': > $(makeBoomerangs ''Sitemap) That will create new combinators corresponding to the constructors for 'Sitemap'. They will be named, @rHome@, @rUserOverview@, etc. Now we can specify how the 'Sitemap' type is mapped to a url and back: > sitemap :: Router Sitemap > sitemap = > ( rHome > <> "users" . users > <> rArticle . ("article" </> int . "-" . anyString) > ) > where > users = rUserOverview > <> rUserDetail </> int The mapping looks like this: @ \/ \<=\> Home \/users \<=\> UserOverview \/users\//<int>/ \<=\> UserDetail /<int>/ \/article\//<int>/-/<string>/ \<=\> Article /<int>/ /<string>/ @ Next we have our function which maps a parsed route to the handler for that route. (There is nothing @boomerang@ specific about this function): > handle :: Sitemap -> RouteT Sitemap IO () > handle url = > case url of > _ -> do liftIO $ print url > s <- showURL url > liftIO $ putStrLn s Normally the @case@ statement would match on the different constructors and map them to different handlers. But in this case we use the same handler for all constructors. Also, instead of running in the IO monad, we would typically use a web framework monad like Happstack's 'ServerPartT'. The handler does two things: 1. prints the parsed url 2. unparses the url and prints it We now have two pieces: 1. 'sitemap' - which converts urls to the 'Sitemap' type and back 2. 'handle' - which maps 'Sitemap' to handlers We tie these two pieces together use 'boomerangSiteRouteT': > site :: Site Sitemap (IO ()) > site = boomerangSiteRouteT handle sitemap This gives as a standard 'Site' value that we can use with 'runSite' or with framework specific wrappers like @implSite@. If we were not using 'RouteT' then we could use @boomerangSite@ instead. Now we can create a simple test function that takes the path info part of a url and runs our site: > test :: ByteString -- ^ path info of incoming url > -> IO () > test path = > case runSite "" site (decodePathInfo path) of > (Left e) -> putStrLn e > (Right io) -> io We can use it like this: @ ghci> test "users/1" UserDetail 1 users/1 @ Here is a simple wrapper to call test interactively: > -- | interactively call 'test' > main :: IO () > main = mapM_ test =<< fmap lines getContents Here are two more helper functions you can use to experiment interactively: > -- | a little function to test rendering a url > showurl :: Sitemap -> String > showurl url = > let (ps, params) = formatPathSegments site url > in (encodePathInfo ps params) > -- | a little function to test parsing a url > testParse :: String -> Either String Sitemap > testParse pathInfo = > case parsePathSegments site $ decodePathInfo pathInfo of > (Left e) -> Left (show e) > (Right a) -> Right a -} module Web.Routes.Boomerang ( module Text.Boomerang , module Text.Boomerang.Texts , Router , boomerangSite , boomerangSiteRouteT , boomerangFromPathSegments , boomerangToPathSegments ) where import Data.Function (on) import Data.List (maximumBy) import Data.Text (Text, pack, unpack) import qualified Data.Text as T import Text.Boomerang import Text.Boomerang.Texts import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Prim (State(..), getParserState, setParserState) import Text.Parsec.Pos (sourceLine, sourceColumn, setSourceColumn, setSourceLine) import Web.Routes (RouteT(..), Site(..), PathInfo(..), URLParser) -- | 'Router a b' is a simple type alias for 'Boomerang TextsError [Text] a b' type Router a b = Boomerang TextsError [Text] a b -- | function which creates a 'Site' from a 'Router' and a handler boomerangSite :: ((url -> [(Text, Maybe Text)] -> Text) -> url -> a) -- ^ handler function -> Router () (url :- ()) -- ^ the router -> Site url a boomerangSite handler r@(Boomerang pf sf) = Site { handleSite = handler , formatPathSegments = \url -> case unparseTexts r url of Nothing -> error "formatPathSegments failed to produce a url" (Just ps) -> (ps, []) , parsePathSegments = \paths -> mapLeft (showErrors paths) (parseTexts r paths) } where mapLeft f = either (Left . f) Right showErrors paths err = (showParserError showPos err) ++ " while parsing " ++ show paths showPos (MajorMinorPos s c) = "path segment " ++ show (s + 1) ++ ", character " ++ show c -- | function which creates a 'Site' from a 'Router' and a 'RouteT' handler boomerangSiteRouteT :: (url -> RouteT url m a) -- ^ handler function -> Router () (url :- ()) -- ^ the router -> Site url (m a) boomerangSiteRouteT handler router = boomerangSite (flip $ unRouteT . handler) router -- | convert to a 'URLParser' so we can create a 'PathInfo' instance boomerangFromPathSegments :: Boomerang TextsError [Text] () (url :- ()) -> URLParser url boomerangFromPathSegments (Boomerang prs _) = do st <- getParserState let results = runParser prs (stateInput st) (MajorMinorPos (fromIntegral $ sourceLine (statePos st)) (fromIntegral $ sourceColumn (statePos st))) successes = [ ((f (), tok), pos) | (Right ((f, tok), pos)) <- results] case successes of [] -> fail (showParserError (const "") $ head $ bestErrors [e | Left e <- results]) _ -> case (maximumBy (compare `on` snd) successes) of (((u :- ()), tok), pos) -> do let st' = st { statePos = setSourceColumn (setSourceLine (statePos st) (fromIntegral $ major pos)) (fromIntegral $ minor pos) , stateInput = trim tok } setParserState st' return u where trim [] = [] trim (t:ts) = if T.null t then ts else (t:ts) -- | convert to the type expected by 'toPathSegments' from 'PathInfo' boomerangToPathSegments :: Boomerang TextsError [Text] () (url :- ()) -> (url -> [Text]) boomerangToPathSegments pp = \url -> case unparse1 [] pp url of Nothing -> error $ "boomerangToPathSegments: could not convert url to [Text]" (Just txts) -> txts
