http_router

A simple and fast HTTP server router. Combines radix trees with the Crystal HTTP server.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     http_router:
       github: data-niklas/http_router
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "http_router"

router = HTTP::Router.new
router.get "/test/:test/123"  { |context|
    puts "Called",context.request.path
    context.response.print "Hello there"
}

router.post "/test"  { |context|
    puts "Called",context.request.path
    context.response.print "Called /test with the post method"
}

router.bind_tcp 8080
router.listen

Other methods like put, patch, head, ... are available.
The HTTP::Router extends the HTTP::Server, so the default server code will work.
"/test/:sth/123" will match any url, which contains something between /test/ and 123,
so e.g.: "/test/testing/123

Router can be started blocking or non blocking. The above code blocks. Below is a non blocking example:

proc = router.listen_non_blocking
# do something
spawn do
  # Block the fiber until the server is closed
  proc.call
  puts "Server closed"
end
sleep 10
router.close
sleep 1
puts "Will exit!"
