HTTPyServer

HTTPyServer is a package designed to help in the development of simple HTTP servers using Python. It lets you connect to your MongoDB database and handle requests binded to your DB.

HTTP Requests Handling

You can handle the HTTP requests after initialazing your Server instance.

The Server class takes 2 arguments:

• address (str): The server address, formatted like "host:port"
• root (Path): The absolute path of the root folder of your server (Which can be obtained with Path.cwd()).

This class has methods that will allow you to register some handlers (callbacks) that follow some specific conventions:

• These methods are called by the Server.[Method] format, just like Server.GET, Server.POST, etc.

• They all accept the following args:

  • path (str): The server path where this handler will be called.
  • handler ((RequestData) -> Basic_Response): The callback that will handle the upcoming requests.

Server.GET: An example

This method is used to register a GET handler that will be called when a GET request is received by the HTTP server. Example:

my_server = Server("localhost:8080", Path.cwd())

DB_Mongo("somemongodburi", "my_database_name") 
# Initializes your Mongo Database and allows all the handlers to work properly.

def home (request_data):
    res = Basic_GET_Response("main.html") # File in the same folder as this script
    res.send_file() # Sends the file contents to the response contents
    return res

def get_all_users (request_data):
    res = Basic_GET_Response("users-collection") # Collection of the MongoDB database
    res.send_db({}) # Sends a query to the collection and writes the response contents
    return res

my_server.GET("/", home)
my_server.GET("/users", get_all_users)

my_server.start()
