Crate nickel

Nickel is supposed to be a simple and lightweight foundation for web applications written in Rust. Its API is inspired by the popular express framework for JavaScript.

Some of the features are:

• Easy handlers: A handler is just a function that takes a Request and ResponseWriter
• Variables in routes. Just write my/route/:someid
• Easy parameter access: request.params.get(&"someid")
• simple wildcard routes: /some/*/route
• double wildcard routes: /a/**/route
• middleware

Reexports

pub use middleware::{Continue, Halt};

pub use router::{Router, Route, RouteResult, HttpRouter};

pub use mimes::MediaType;

Modules

mimes
router	A Router assigns Middleware to paths and resolves them per request
status

Macros

middleware!	Macro to reduce the boilerplate required for using unboxed closures as Middleware due to current type inference behaviour.
router!
try_with!

Structs

DefaultErrorHandler
FaviconHandler
Nickel	Nickel is the application object. It's the surface that holds all public APIs.
NickelError	NickelError is the basic error type for HTTP errors as well as user defined errors. One can pattern match against the kind property to handle the different cases.
Query
Request	A container for all the request data
Response	A container for the response
StaticFilesHandler

Enums

Action

Traits

ErrorHandler
JsonBody
Middleware
QueryString
Responder	This trait provides convenience for translating a number of common return types into a MiddlewareResult while also modifying the Response as required.
