Rocket Async Compression

This library provides response compression in both gzip and brotli formats for the Rocket using the async-compression library.

It currently supports usage with Rocket 0.5.0-rc.1. If you want to use a different version, you'll have to fork this library and change Cargo.toml.

I'd love to get this merged into Rocket itself eventually since I think it would be a very useful addition that I myself can barely live without in a webserver.

Installation

Add this to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rocket = "0.5.0-rc.1"
rocket_async_compression = "0.1.0"

Usage

The following example will enable compression on releases cause localhost isn't on a remote network (usually)

use rocket_async_compression::Compression;

#[launch]
async fn main() {
    let server = rocket::build()
        .mount("/", routes![...]);
        
    if cfg!(debug_assertions) {
        server
    } else {
        server.attach(Compression::fairing())
    }
}
