SwiftyWeb

Swift library for CGI

• [x] Global variables and functions
• [x] No need to recompile for each edit (but supported)
• [x] Automatic library integration, no Package Manager
• [x] Show compiler errors in browser
• [ ] MySQL

SwiftyWeb includes a Swift helper for CGI.

You can use it like this:

// GET
"h1".htm() {
    print("GET Parameters")
}

"ul".htm() {
    for (key, value) in GET {
        "li".htm() {
            print(key+":"+value)
        }
    }
}

// POST
"h1".htm() {
    print("POST Parameters")
}

"ul".htm() {
    for (key, value) in POST {
        "li".htm() {
            print(key+":"+value)
        }
    }
}

Usage

Init a project, install via the package manager, compile and move?

NO.

With SwiftyWeb, you can simply write your code and open the browser.

Linux and Mac

Install typing this in a shell:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ColdGrub1384/SwiftyWeb/master/install 2>/dev/null | sudo bash

Or, inside this repo, run:

./install nodownload

Slow method

Now, you can write Swift CGIs putting this in the top or your file:

#!/usr/bin/swiftw

// Your code here
(Don't forget to chmod +x your file)

You can also include other files:

#!/usr/bin/swiftw AnotherFile.swift

// Your code here

Fast method

Loading CGIs with ‘#!/usr/bin/swiftw’ is very slow, you can compile files manually typing:

swiftw -o PATH_TO_NEW_EXECUTABLE FILES TO COMPILE

A file will be created and you can put it in your CGI’s folder.

Mac

In Mac, you can also build the framework opening SwiftyWeb.xcodeproj and include framework in your command line project. Don’t forget to print "Content-Type: text/html\nContent:\n"!

Documentation

If you want to contribute to the documentation, don’t edit the docs directory, but just document the code, the page will be generated by me with Jazzy, or if you want, generate it yourself.

Generate documentation

• Install Jazzy:

[sudo] gem install jazzy

• And run the build-documentation.sh script inside this repo.

• Increment version field in docs/docsets/Pisth.xml.
