Vex

Web framework written on V inspired by Express and Sinatra.

Vex is still in its early stages and some of the parts were not implemented yet.

module main

import vex.server as vex
import json
import os

struct Person {
    name string
    doing string
}

fn show_root(req server.Request, res mut server.Response) {
    res.send_file('index.html', 200)  
}

fn print_json(req server.Request, res mut server.Response) {
    res.send_json(json.encode(Person{ name: req.params['name'], doing: req.params['doing'] }), 200)
}

fn log_server(req server.Request, res server.Response) {
    println('${req.path}')
}

fn main() {
    mut s := vex.new()
    s.serve_static('public')
    s.get('/', show_root)
    s.get('/hey/:name/:doing', print_json)
    s.connect(log_server, ['*', '!/hey']) // middleware

    s.serve(6789)
}

vex and vweb

Vex is committed to bring some of its features and optimizations to the vweb framework once it is stable.

Dependencies

Vex uses v-mime to identify MIME types when serving files.
