A Minimalistic C++ Web Framework build on top of Boost Beast and ASIO
The eagle::app object is the main interface for installing handlers and interceptors (more on that later):
#include "eagle.hpp"
int main(argc, argv) {
eagle::app app{argc, argv};
app.handle(http::verb::get, "/hello-eagle",
[](const auto& req, auto& resp) -> bool {
resp.html() << "<h1>Eagle!</h1>";
return true;
});
app.start();
return 0;
}Eagle also support object handlers that can encapsulate application's state:
#include "eagle.hpp"
class h : public eagle::handler_object {
public:
h() {}
virtual ~h() {}
bool get(const eagle::request&, eagle::response& resp) override {
resp.html()
<< "<p>Dispatched by the handler object! Count " << state_.count_++ << "</p>";
return true;
}
private:
struct application_state {
size_t count_{0};
} state_;
};
int main(argc, argv) {
eagle::app app{argc, argv};
h handler;
app.handle("/api/v1/users", handler);
app.start();
return 0;
}Eagle uses meson as the build system and depends on the Boost.Beast library
$ brew install meson
$ brew install boost
$ meson builddir && cd builddir
$ meson compile
$ ./eagleEagle's design principles are focus towards REST, the following methods are inherently supported in the interfaces:
- GET
- POST
- PUT
- DELETE
- Hide the
boost::beastdependecy - Implement a message modifier interface rather than intereact with a
http::respdirectly - Resource Id mapping
- Query parameters
- TBD
