Hello Web

A webserver that serves one web page showing Hello, web! using the basic-webserver platform.

There are much more basic-webserver examples.

Code

app [Model, server] { pf: platform "https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-webserver/releases/download/0.9.0/taU2jQuBf-wB8EJb0hAkrYLYOGacUU5Y9reiHG45IY4.tar.br" }

import pf.Stdout
import pf.Http exposing [Request, Response]
import pf.Utc

# Model is produced by `init`.
Model : {}

# With `init` you can set up a database connection once at server startup,
# generate css by running `tailwindcss`,...
# In this case we don't have anything to initialize, so it is just `Task.ok {}`.

server = { init: Task.ok {}, respond }

respond : Request, Model -> Task Response [ServerErr Str]_
respond = \req, _ ->
    # Log request datetime, method and url
    datetime = Utc.now! |> Utc.toIso8601Str

    Stdout.line! "$(datetime) $(Http.methodToStr req.method) $(req.url)"

    Task.ok { status: 200, headers: [], body: Str.toUtf8 "<b>Hello, web!</b></br>" }

Output

Run this from the directory that has main.roc in it and go to http://localhost:8000/ in your browser:

$ roc main.roc --linker=legacy
Listening on 

You can change the port (8000) and the host (localhost) by setting the environment variables ROC_BASIC_WEBSERVER_PORT and ROC_BASIC_WEBSERVER_HOST.
