Detailed Description

This file includes the definition of the crow::Crow class, the crow::App and crow::SimpleApp aliases, and some macros.

In this file are defined:

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ CROW_BP_CATCHALL_ROUTE

#define CROW_BP_CATCHALL_ROUTE (   blueprint)    blueprint.catchall_rule()

Defines a custom catchall route for blueprint using a custom rule.

It defines a handler when the client make a request for an undefined route in the blueprint.

See also
Page of the guide "Blueprint" (Define a custom Catchall route).

◆ CROW_BP_ROUTE

#define CROW_BP_ROUTE (   blueprint,
  url 
)    blueprint.new_rule_tagged<crow::black_magic::get_parameter_tag(url)>(url)

Creates a route for a blueprint using a rule.

It may use crow::Blueprint::new_rule_dynamic or crow::Blueprint::new_rule_tagged to define a new rule for an given blueprint. It's usage is similar to CROW_ROUTE macro:

CROW_BP_ROUTE(my_bp, "/")
([](){
return "<h1>Hello, world!</h1>";
});
#define CROW_BP_ROUTE(blueprint, url)
Creates a route for a blueprint using a rule.
Definition: app.h:94
A blueprint can be considered a smaller section of a Crow app, specifically where the router is conce...
Definition: routing.h:1114

This is the recommended way to define routes in a crow blueprint because of its compile-time capabilities.

See also
Page of the guide "Blueprints".

◆ CROW_CATCHALL_ROUTE

#define CROW_CATCHALL_ROUTE (   app)    app.catchall_route()

Defines a custom catchall route for app using a custom rule.

It defines a handler when the client make a request for an undefined route. Instead of just reply with a 404 status code (default behavior), you can define a custom handler using this macro.

See also
Page of the guide "Routes" (Catchall routes).

◆ CROW_MIDDLEWARES

#define CROW_MIDDLEWARES (   app,
  ... 
)    template middlewares<typename std::remove_reference<decltype(app)>::type, __VA_ARGS__>()

Enable a Middleware for an specific route in app or blueprint.

It defines the usage of a Middleware in one route. And it can be used in both crow::SimpleApp (and crow::App) instances and crow::Blueprint. Its usage syntax is like this:

auto app = crow::SimpleApp(); // or crow::App()
CROW_ROUTE(app, "/with_middleware")
.CROW_MIDDLEWARES(app, LocalMiddleware) // Can be used more than one
([]() { // middleware.
return "Hello world!";
});
#define CROW_ROUTE(app, url)
Creates a route for app using a rule.
Definition: app.h:70
Crow<> SimpleApp
Alias of Crow<>. Useful if you want a instance of an Crow application that doesn't require of Middlew...
Definition: app.h:791

Page of the guide "Middlewares".

◆ CROW_ROUTE

#define CROW_ROUTE (   app,
  url 
)    app.template route<crow::black_magic::get_parameter_tag(url)>(url)

Creates a route for app using a rule.

It use crow::Crow::route_dynamic or crow::Crow::route to define a rule for your application. It's usage is like this:

auto app = crow::SimpleApp(); // or crow::App()
CROW_ROUTE(app, "/")
([](){
return "<h1>Hello, world!</h1>";
});

This is the recommended way to define routes in a crow application.

See also
Page of guide "Routes".

◆ CROW_WEBSOCKET_ROUTE

#define CROW_WEBSOCKET_ROUTE (   app,
  url 
)    app.route<crow::black_magic::get_parameter_tag(url)>(url).websocket<std::remove_reference<decltype(app)>::type>(&app)

Defines WebSocket route for app.

It binds a WebSocket route to app. Easy solution to implement WebSockets in your app. The usage syntax of this macro is like this:

auto app = crow::SimpleApp(); // or crow::App()
.onopen([&](crow::websocket::connection& conn){
do_something();
})
.onclose([&](crow::websocket::connection& conn, const std::string& reason, uint16_t){
do_something();
})
.onmessage([&](crow::websocket::connection&, const std::string& data, bool is_binary){
if (is_binary)
do_something(data);
else
do_something_else(data);
});
#define CROW_WEBSOCKET_ROUTE(app, url)
Defines WebSocket route for app.
Definition: app.h:123
A base class for websocket connection.
Definition: websocket.h:62
