Dart HTTP webserver, providing server side session and routing and static file serving.

CrimsonHttp server for Dart

Introduction

Loosely inspired upon sencha/connect for node.js

Status: Alpha

This code is alpha and might not be safe for production servers.

Example

#import("dart:io");
#import("dart:utf");
#import('package:crimsonhttp/crimson.dart');

void main() {
  CrimsonHttpServer server = new CrimsonHttpServer();
  
  CrimsonModule sampleModule = new CrimsonModule(server);
  sampleModule.handlers
                    .addEndpoint(new StaticFile("./test/public/"))
                    .addEndpoint(new StaticFile("./test/sandbox/"));
  
  server.modules["*"] = sampleModule;
  server.listen("0.0.0.0", 8082);
}

Getting Started

Create a Dart project and add a pubspec.yaml file to it

dependencies:
  crimsonhttp:
    git: https://github.com/chrisbu/CrimsonHttp.git

and run pub install to install crimson (including its dependencies). Now add import

#import('package:crimsonhttp/crimson.dart');

#TODO

  • Lots, especially tidy up CookieSession and StaticFile, and add Route.
  • Please treat all of this as pre-alpha.
  • It's not secure in the slightest, and the StaticFile handler alone will probably allow users to browse your pc!

#Filters

  • CookieSession: sets a sessioncookie - just ported at the moment and not yet tested. Treat as pre-alpha.

#Endpoints

  • Favicon: Serves a favicon from either the default ./favicon.ico or ./public/favicon.ico, or some specified location.
  • StaticFile: serves static files from the path provided in the constructor. Simply appends the request.uri onto whatever path you provide in, and tries to load it. Very insecure.
  • Route: executes a dart method in resposne to matching a path + method, or a matching function
