muxy 0.1.0a9

Lightweight router for building HTTP services.

muxy

muxy is a lightweight router for building HTTP services conforming to Granian's Rust Server Gateway Interface (RSGI). It intentionally avoids magic, prioritising explicit and composable code.

Features

• first-class router composition - modularise your code by nesting routers with no overhead
• correct, efficient routing - explicit route heirarchy so behaviour is always predictable
• lightweight - the core router is little more than a simple datastructure and has no dependencies
• control - control the full HTTP request/response cycle without digging through framework layers
• middleware - apply common logic to path groups simply and clearly

Inspiration

Go's net/http and go-chi/chi are inspirations for muxy. I wanted their simplicity without having to switch language. You can think of the RSGI interface as the muxy equivalent of the net/http HandlerFunc interface, and muxy.Router as an equivalent of chi's Mux.

Examples

Getting started

import asyncio

import uvloop
from granian.server.embed import Server
from muxy import Router
from muxy.rsgi import HTTPProtocol, HTTPScope

async def home(s: HTTPScope, p: HTTPProtocol) -> None:
    p.response_str(200, [], "Hello world!")

async def main() -> None:
    router = Router()
    router.get("/", home)

    server = Server(router)
    try:
        await server.serve()
    except asyncio.CancelledError:
        await server.shutdown()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvloop.run(main())
