C# Lightweight server

Version 2.0.0

Path parameter support was added in version 2.0.0 and the request object now has a different form of

public class EagleRequest
{
    public PathInfo PathInfo { get; set; }
    
    public NameValueCollection QueryParams { get; set; }

    public dynamic Body { get; set; }

    public HttpListenerRequest RawRequest { get; set; }
}

with PathInfo defined as

public class PathInfo
{
    public dynamic PathParameters { get; set; }

    public string RawPath { get; set; }

    public string VariablePath { get; set; }
}

Suggested Import (using static)

using static Eagle.Server;

Starting the server

The Server must be started before any mappings can be setup

port("8181"); //default port is 8080
useHttp(true); //default is false, will use HTTPS
startServerInstance();

Setting up a request path

This will throw a ServerNotStartedException if the server has not been started yet.

post("/incoming/request", (request, response) => {
    
    //Logic here
    
    return foo(); //Return a string
}

*Note: if no error is thrown and "return" is hit then the http status code will be 200

Path Paramaters ( version > 2.0.0 )

post("/account/{accountId}", (request, response) => {

    var pathParameters = request.PathInfo.PathParameters;
    var body = request.Body;

    // this is for JSON body only.  requst body was { "test" : "value here" }
    string test = body.test;

    //Dynamic object accountId must match exactly the string between the {} ex: {accountId} 
    string accountId = pathParameters.accountId;

    WriteLine($"accountId = {accountId} and test = {test}");

    return "";
});

Supported Methods

• POST
• GET
• PUT
• DELETE

Non-200 status codes

post("/incoming/request", (request, response) => {
    
    throw new HttpStatusAwareException(500, "internal server error"); //Must be HttpStatusAwareException or extension of.
    
    return foo(); //Return a string
}

The status code in the exception and the message in the exception will be used as the response status code and the response body. The HttpStatusAwareException is an exception actively caught and handled. If an uncaught exception is thrown within a reply function, the server will catch it and convert it to new HttpStatusAwareException(500, "internal server error")

Headers & etc...

post("/incoming/request", (request, response) => {
    
    response.AddHeader("header", "value");
    
    return foo(); //Return a string
}

Manipulate the response object for advanced features.
