• Quick start
  • main.py
  • Settings
  • Config
  • Run sample
• Executors

Quick start

Server needs few files to run:

• web.json with routes
• Executors
• config.json with server settings
  All these files must be in the same directory as main.py

main.py

from web_framework_api.WebFramework import WebFramework  # Server
from web_framework_api.utility.DLLHandler import initialize_web_framework  # WebFramework initialization 
from web_framework_api.exceptions.WebFrameworkException import WebFrameworkException  # Exception

def on_start():
  print("Server is running")

if __name__ == '__main__':
  try:
    initialize_web_framework()  # Load WebFramework shared library

    server = WebFramework.from_path("config.json")  # Create server

    server.start(True, on_start)  # Start server and wait
  except WebFrameworkException as exception:
    print(exception)

    exit(-1)

Settings

web.json

{
  "HelloExecutor": {
    "route": "",
    "loadType": "initialization",
    "api": "python"
  }
}

Config

config.json

{
  "WebServer": {
    "ip": "0.0.0.0",
    "port": 8080,
    "timeout": 0
  },
  "WebFramework": {

      "useHTTPS": false,
      "pathToCertificate": "certificates/cert.pem",
      "pathToKey": "certificates/key.pem"
    },

  }
}

Run sample

After running server open url 127.0.0.1:8080.
You will see response from server

{
  "message": "Hello, World!"
}

Executors

Executors are C++, C, Python or C# classes that responsible for giving responses for their route(url).
Source code of HelloExecutor from example
hello_executor.py

from web_framework_api import *

class HelloExecutor(StatelessExecutor):
    def do_get(self, request, response):
        response.set_body({
            "message": "Hello, World!"
        })
