QHttpServerRouter::QHttpServerRouter()

Creates a QHttpServerRouter object with default converters.

See also converters().

QHttpServerRouter::~QHttpServerRouter()

Destroys a QHttpServerRouter.

template <typename Type> bool QHttpServerRouter::addConverter(QAnyStringView regexp)

Adds a new converter for type Type matching regular expression regexp, and returns true if this was successful, otherwise returns false.

Automatically try to register an implicit converter from QString to Type. If there is already a converter of type Type, that converter's regexp is replaced with regexp.

struct CustomArg {
    int data = 10;

    CustomArg() {} ;
    CustomArg(const QString &urlArg) : data(urlArg.toInt()) {}
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(CustomArg);

QHttpServerRouter router;
router.addConverter<CustomArg>(u"[+-]?\\d+"));

auto pageView = [] (const CustomArg &customArg) {
    qDebug("data: %d", customArg.data);
};
using ViewHandler = decltype(pageView);

auto rule = std::make_unique<QHttpServerRouterRule>(
    "/<arg>/<arg>/log",
    [&router, &pageView] (QRegularExpressionMatch &match,
                          const QHttpServerRequest &request,
                          QTcpSocket *socket) {
    // Bind and call viewHandler with match's captured string and quint32:
    router.bindCaptured(pageView, match)();
});

router.addRule<ViewHandler>(std::move(rule));

void QHttpServerRouter::addConverter(QMetaType metaType, QAnyStringView regexp)

Adds a new converter for type metaType matching regular expression regexp.

If there is already a converter of type metaType, that converter's regexp is replaced with regexp.

template <typename ViewHandler, typename ViewTraits> bool QHttpServerRouter::addRule(std::unique_ptr<QHttpServerRouterRule> rule)

Adds a new rule and returns true if this was successful.

Inside addRule, we determine ViewHandler arguments and generate a list of their QMetaType::Type ids. Then we parse the URL and replace each <arg> with a regexp for its type from the list.

QHttpServerRouter router;

using ViewHandler = decltype([] (const QString &page, const quint32 num) { });

auto rule = std::make_unique<QHttpServerRouterRule>(
    "/<arg>/<arg>/log",
    [] (QRegularExpressionMatch &match,
        const QHttpServerRequest &request,
        QTcpSocket *socket) {
});

router.addRule<ViewHandler>(std::move(rule));

template <typename ViewHandler, typename ViewTraits> typename ViewTraits::BindableType QHttpServerRouter::bindCaptured(ViewHandler &&handler, const QRegularExpressionMatch &match) const

Supplies the handler with arguments derived from a URL. Returns the bound function that accepts whatever remaining arguments the handler may take, supplying them to the handler after the URL-derived values. Each match of the regex applied to the URL (as a string) is converted to the type of the handler's parameter at its position, so that it can be passed as match.

QHttpServerRouter router;

auto pageView = [] (const QString &page, const quint32 num) {
    qDebug("page: %s, num: %d", qPrintable(page), num);
};
using ViewHandler = decltype(pageView);

auto rule = std::make_unique<QHttpServerRouterRule>(
    "/<arg>/<arg>/log",
    [&router, &pageView] (QRegularExpressionMatch &match,
                          const QHttpServerRequest &request,
                          QTcpSocket *socket) {
    // Bind and call viewHandler with match's captured string and quint32:
    router.bindCaptured(pageView, match)();
});

router.addRule<ViewHandler>(std::move(rule));

void QHttpServerRouter::clearConverters()

Removes all converters.

See also converters().

const QHash<QMetaType, QString> &QHttpServerRouter::converters() const

Returns a map of converter type and regexp.

The following converters are available by default:

bool QHttpServerRouter::handleRequest(const QHttpServerRequest &request, QTcpSocket *socket) const

Handles each new request for the HTTP server using socket.

Iterates through the list of rules to find the first that matches, then executes this rule, returning true. Returns false if no rule matches the request.

void QHttpServerRouter::removeConverter(QMetaType metaType)

Removes the converter for type metaType.
