how can do this? about actix-web HOT 13 CLOSED

technically it is possible to do, but there is no easy way. You can register application handler with ApplicationBuilder::Handler, it accepts prefix, then you can split prefix and get tail.

would you like to implement tail match for actix web?

from actix-web.

@fafhrd91 yes. I want do a SPA with actic-web. so when request other paths it will return index.html.
like:

'/router/one'  ---> index.html
'/router/two'  ---> index.html
......

from actix-web.

for your example you can use following example:

Application::default("/")
    .resource("/router/{section}", |r| {
        match r.params().get("section") {
          Some("one") => { do something },
          Some("two") => { do something else },
           _ => HTTPNotFound 
        }
    }))

is this what you need? you can match only one section at the moment.

@fafhrd91 no , I want match any paths not someone. like '/router/{anyPaths}'
in rocket.rs like :

#[get("/page/<path..>")]
fn path(path: PathBuf) -> io::Result<NamedFile> {
    NamedFile::open("webfront/index.html")
}

Is there a easy way do this current?

from actix-web.

it is not explicitly implemented at the moment. Would you like to participate in actix-web development and add this functionality?

there is temporary solution:

Application::default("/")
    .handler("/router/", |r| {
        let tail = r.path()[r.prefix_len()..];
        println!("Tail: {:?}", tail);
        HTTPOk
    }))

tail would contain everything after /router/ prefix

if you want just serve files from filesystem you can use https://github.com/actix/actix-web/blob/master/src/staticfiles.rs#L26

from actix-web.

actix-web is missing a lot of staff, any help is welcome!

from actix-web.

I just added tail pattern https://github.com/actix/actix-web/blob/master/src/recognizer.rs#L140

you can use it like this:

Application::default("/")
    .handler("/router/{tail:*}", |r| {
        let tail = r.match_info().get("tail").unwrap();
        println!("Tail: {:?}", tail);
        HTTPOk
    }))

I didn't test it though

from actix-web.

I'll close issue. reopen if you think we should add something else

from actix-web.

@fafhrd91 please provide support reponse return file.

Could you provide pull request?

from actix-web.

here is example

extern crate actix_web;
use actix_web::*;
use std::path::PathBuf;

fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Result<fs::NamedFile> {
    let path: PathBuf = req.match_info().query("tail")?;
    Ok(fs::NamedFile::open(path)?)
}

fn main() {
    Application::default("/")
        .resource(r"/a/{tail:*}", |r| r.get(index))
        .finish();
}

from actix-web.

I dropped tail pattern, but it possible to do the same with custom regex ".*" :

extern crate actix_web;
use actix_web::*;
use std::path::PathBuf;

fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Result<fs::NamedFile> {
    let path: PathBuf = req.match_info().query("tail")?;
    Ok(fs::NamedFile::open(path)?)
}

fn main() {
    Application::default("/")
        .resource(r"/a/{tail:.*}", |r| r.method(Method::GET).f(index))
        .finish();
}
