PSGI for Raku

Introduction

A helper library for creating P6SGI/PSGI compliant frameworks.

Provides functions for encoding P6SGI/PSGI responses, and populating P6SGI/PSGI environments.

It supports (in order of preference), P6SGI 0.7Draft, P6SGI 0.4Draft, and a minimal subset of PSGI Classic (from Perl 5.)

If the populate-psgi-env() method is called without specifying a specific version, both P6SGI 0.7Draft and P6SGI 0.4Draft headers will be included. PSGI Classic headers must be explicitly requested.

Usage

  use PSGI;

  ## Using a traditional PSGI response array.
  ## Headers are an Array of Pairs.
  ## Body is an Array of Str or Buf.
  my $status   = 200;
  my $headers  = ['Content-Type'=>'text/plain'];
  my $body     = ["Hello world"];
  my @response = [ $status, $headers, $body ];
  my $string = encode-psgi-response(@response);
  ##
  ##   Status: 200 OK
  ##   Content-Type: text/plain
  ##
  ##   Hello world
  ##

  ## Passing the elements individually.
  ## Also, this time, we want to use NPH output.
  $string = encode-psgi-response($status, $headers, $body, :nph);
  ##
  ##   HTTP/1.0 200 OK
  ##   Content-Type: text/plain
  ##
  ##   Hello world
  ##

  ## Now an example using a Hash for headers, and a singleton
  ## for the body.
  my %headers = {
    Content-Type => 'text/plain',
  };
  my $body-text = "Hello world";
  $string = encode-psgi-response($code, %headers, $body-text);
  ##
  ## Same output as first example
  ##

  ## Populate an %environment with P6SGI/PSGI variables.
  ##
  populate-psgi-env(%env, :input($in), :errors($err), :p6sgi<latest>);

See the tests for further examples.

TODO

• WebSocket support for P6SGI 0.7Draft.
• Ready Promise support in encode-psgi-response() method.
