type Action' = IO ResponseReceived Source #

(|>) :: t1 -> (t1 -> t2) -> t2 infixl 8 Source #

getRequestPath :: (?context :: ControllerContext) => ByteString Source #

Returns the request path, e.g. /Users or /CreateUser

getRequestPathAndQuery :: (?context :: ControllerContext) => ByteString Source #

Returns the request path and the query params, e.g. /ShowUser?userId=9bd6b37b-2e53-40a4-bb7b-fdba67d6af42

getHeader :: (?context :: ControllerContext) => ByteString -> Maybe ByteString Source #

Returns a header value for a given header name. Returns Nothing if not found

The header is looked up in a case insensitive way.

>>> getHeader "Content-Type"
Just "text/html"
>>> getHeader "X-My-Custom-Header"
Nothing

requestHeaders :: Request -> RequestHeaders #

getFiles :: (?context :: ControllerContext) => [File ByteString] Source #

runAction :: (Controller controller, ?context :: ControllerContext, ?modelContext :: ModelContext, ?applicationContext :: ApplicationContext, ?requestContext :: RequestContext) => controller -> IO ResponseReceived Source #

data ControllerContext Source #

A container storing useful data along the request lifecycle, such as the request, the current user, set current view layout, flash messages, ...

The controller context is usually accessed via the ?context variable. It's availble inside the action and the view. Think of it as a key-value-map where the key is the type of the value.

You can store information inside the context using putContext:

>>> newtype CurrentLayout = CurrentLayout Html
>>> 
>>> ?context <- newControllerContext
>>> putContext (CurrentLayout layout)

Inside an action you can access the values using fromContext:

>>> (CurrentLayout layout) <- fromContext

You can freeze the context and then access values without being inside an IO context (like inside views which are pure):

Call freeze inside an IO part:

>>> ?context <- freeze ?context

(freeze is automatically called by IHP before rendering a view, so usually you don't need to call it manually)

Then use the frozen context from your pure code like this:

>>> let (CurrentLayout layout) = fromFrozenContext in ...

The context is initially created before a action is going to be executed. Its life cycle looks like this:

  • newControllerContext: The new controller context is created
  • The runActionWithNewContext fills in a few default values: The current ?application and also the Flash Messages to be rendered in the to-be-generated response.
  • initContext: The initContext function of the InitControllerContext WebApplication (inside your FrontController.hs) is called. There application-specific context can be provided. Usually this is the current user and the default layout.
  • beforeAction: Here the context could also be modified. E.g. the layout could be overriden here for the whole controller.
  • action ..: The action itself.
  • Freezing: Before rendering the response, the container is frozen. Frozen means that all previously mutable fields become immutable.
  • View Rendering: The frozen container is now used inside the view and layout to display information such as the current user or flash messages

initContext :: IO () Source #

runActionWithNewContext :: forall application controller. (Controller controller, ?applicationContext :: ApplicationContext, ?context :: RequestContext, InitControllerContext application, ?application :: application, Typeable application, Typeable controller) => controller -> IO ResponseReceived Source #

newContextForAction :: forall application controller. (Controller controller, ?applicationContext :: ApplicationContext, ?context :: RequestContext, InitControllerContext application, ?application :: application, Typeable application, Typeable controller) => controller -> IO (Either (IO ResponseReceived) ControllerContext) Source #

respondAndExit :: (?context :: ControllerContext) => Response -> IO () Source #

jumpToAction :: (Controller action, ?context :: ControllerContext, ?modelContext :: ModelContext) => action -> IO () Source #

startWebSocketApp :: forall webSocketApp application. (?applicationContext :: ApplicationContext, ?context :: RequestContext, InitControllerContext application, ?application :: application, Typeable application, WSApp webSocketApp) => IO ResponseReceived -> Application Source #

startWebSocketAppAndFailOnHTTP :: forall webSocketApp application. (?applicationContext :: ApplicationContext, ?context :: RequestContext, InitControllerContext application, ?application :: application, Typeable application, WSApp webSocketApp) => Application Source #

setHeader :: (?context :: ControllerContext) => Header -> IO () Source #

Set a header value for a given header name.

>>> setHeader ("Content-Language", "en")

getAppConfig :: forall configParameter context. (?context :: context, ConfigProvider context, Typeable configParameter) => configParameter Source #

Returns a custom config parameter

>>> getAppConfig @StripePublicKey
StripePublicKey "pk_test_..."

Example:

First you need to define a custom config parameter in Config.hs:

-- Config/Config.hs
newtype StripePublicKey = StripePublicKey Text

config :: ConfigBuilder
config = do
    -- ...
    stripePublicKey <- StripePublicKey <$> env @Text "STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY"
    option stripePublicKey

Then you can access it using getAppConfig:

action MyAction = do
    let (StripePublicKey stripePublicKey) = getAppConfig @StripePublicKey

    putStrLn ("Stripe public key: " <> stripePublicKey)
