- Workshop on Perl6 + Bailador
- YAPC::EU 2018
- Perl6 + Bailador -> Perl6 + Cro
Bailador
- "...A light-weight route-based web application framework for Perl 6..."
- Similar to Dancer in Perl5
- In 2017, was the first framework I found/liked
- Familiar as a Dancer2 user
cro.services
- "...Cro is a set of libraries for building reactive distributed systems, lovingly crafted to take advantage of all Perl 6 has to offer..."
- Cro
- Active development
- Jonathan Worthington & Edument
- Modern
- Perl6-centric
- Active development
Bailador -> cro
- Why port from Baildor -> Cro?
-
- Baildor felt perl5-ish
- Cro felt perl6-ish
- Cro felt active
- Tooling (Docker, Cro Run, Cro web)
- Keep learning
- Hype
- Why the heck not?!
cro basics
use Cro::HTTP::Test;
use Routes;
test-service routes(), {
test get('/'),
status => 200,
content-type => 'text/html',
body => /example1/;
}
done-testing;
use Cro::HTTP::Router;
sub routes() is export {
route {
get -> {
content 'text/html', "<h1> example1 </h1>";
}
}
}
example 1
Simple GET route
example 1
Simple GET route
prove6 -I=lib -v t/example1.t
ok 1 - Status is acceptable
ok 2 - Content type is acceptable
ok 3 - Body is acceptable
1..3
ok 1 - GET /
1..1
t/example1.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs
Result: PASS
use Cro::HTTP::Test;
use Routes;
test-service routes(), {
test get('/hello/world'),
status => 200,
content-type => 'text/html',
body => /Hello world/;
}
done-testing;
use Cro::HTTP::Router;
sub routes() is export {
route {
get -> 'hello', $name {
content 'text/html', "<h1> Hello $name </h1>";
}
}
}
example 2
GET route with params
prove6 -I=lib -v t/example2.t
ok 1 - Status is acceptable
ok 2 - Content type is acceptable
ok 3 - Body is acceptable
1..3
ok 1 - GET /hello/world
1..1
t/example2.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs
Result: PASS
example 2
GET route with params
use Cro::HTTP::Test;
use Routes;
test-service routes(), {
test-given '/add', {
test post(json => { :x(37), :y(5) }),
status => 200,
json => { :result(42) };
}
}
done-testing;
use Cro::HTTP::Router;
sub routes() is export {
route {
post -> 'add' {
request-body 'application/json' => -> (:$x!, :$y!) {
content 'application/json', { :result($x + $y) };
}
}
}
}
example 3
POST route
$ prove6 -v -I=lib t/example3.t
ok 1 - Status is acceptable
ok 2 - Content type is recognized as a JSON one
ok 3 - Body is acceptable
1..3
ok 1 - POST /add
1..1
t/example3.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs
Result: PASS
$ curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{"x":"2","y":"5"}' \
http://localhost:20000/add
{"result": 7}
example 3
POST route
use Cro::HTTP::Log::File;
use Cro::HTTP::Server;
use Routes;
my Cro::Service $http = Cro::HTTP::Server.new(
http => <1.1>,
host => %*ENV<EXAMPLE2_HOST>,
port => %*ENV<EXAMPLE2_PORT>,
application => routes(),
after => [
Cro::HTTP::Log::File.new(logs => $*OUT, errors => $*ERR)
]
);
$http.start;
service.p6
myjudo.net
- Web application to tracking Judo training sessions.
- Created to learn Perl6 + Bailador for LPW2017
- Ported from Baildor -> Cro
