Perfect Empty Starter Project
This repository holds a blank Perfect project which can be cloned to serve as a starter for new work. It builds with Swift Package Manager and produces a stand-alone HTTP executable.
The master branch of this project currently compiles with Xcode 8.1 or the Swift 3.0.1 toolchain on Ubuntu.
The following will clone and build an empty starter project and launch the server on port 8181.
git clone https://github.com/PerfectlySoft/PerfectTemplate.git
cd PerfectTemplate
swift build
.build/debug/PerfectTemplate
You should see the following output:
Starting HTTP server on 0.0.0.0:8181 with document root ./webroot
This means the server is running and waiting for connections. Access http://localhost:8181/ to see the greeting. Hit control-c to terminate the server.
The template file contains a very simple "hello, world!" example.
import PerfectLib
import PerfectHTTP
import PerfectHTTPServer
// Create HTTP server.
let server = HTTPServer()
// Register your own routes and handlers
var routes = Routes()
routes.add(method: .get, uri: "/", handler: {
request, response in
response.appendBody(string: "<html><title>Hello, world!</title><body>Hello, world!</body></html>")
response.completed()
}
)
// Add the routes to the server.
server.addRoutes(routes)
// Set a listen port of 8181
server.serverPort = 8181
// Set a document root.
// This is optional. If you do not want to serve static content then do not set this.
// Setting the document root will automatically add a static file handler for the route /**
server.documentRoot = "./webroot"
// Gather command line options and further configure the server.
// Run the server with --help to see the list of supported arguments.
// Command line arguments will supplant any of the values set above.
configureServer(server)
do {
// Launch the HTTP server.
try server.start()
} catch PerfectError.networkError(let err, let msg) {
print("Network error thrown: \(err) \(msg)")
}
