Handling forms

Racoon currently supports multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you require to read the body of another content type you can use request.stream to read the request body manually.

Basic Usage

The FormData and File are the HashMap instances.

use racoon::core::path::{Path, View};
use racoon::core::request::Request;
use racoon::core::response::{HttpResponse, Response};
use racoon::core::response::status::ResponseStatus;
use racoon::core::server::Server;
use racoon::core::forms::FileField;
use racoon::core::shortcuts::SingleText;

use racoon::{view, wrap_view};


async fn form(request: Request) -> Response {
    if request.method == "POST" {
        // Parses request body
        let (form_data, files) = request.parse().await;
        println!("Name: {:?}", form_data.value("name"));

        let file = files.value("file");
        println!("File: {:?}", file);
        return HttpResponse::ok().body("Uploaded");
    }

    HttpResponse::bad_request().body("Failed")
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let paths = vec![
        Path::new("/form/", view!(form))
    ];

    let _ = Server::bind("127.0.0.1:8080")
        .urls(paths)
        .run().await;
}
