Sorry for my basic question, but I'm new to Haskell.
I'm following this example to receive some values from a request body, but my server also serves static files from a directory using the following code:
fileServing :: ServerPart Response
fileServing = serveDirectory EnableBrowsing ["index.html"] "./Path/"
mainFunc = simpleHTTP nullConf $ msum [
fileServing
]
I added the below code to my library but I'm not sure where to use the handlers function, because I already have an msum in the mainFunc.
handlers :: ServerPart Response
handlers =
do decodeBody myPolicy
msum [
myGetData
]
myGetData :: ServerPart Response
myGetData =
do method POST
username <- look "username"
password <- look "password"
ok $ toResponse (username ++ ", " ++ password)
fileServing, myGetData, msum [fileServing], msum [myGetData] and handlers all have ServerPart Response type, which is the type of what you are passing to simpleHTTP nullConf in mainFunc. That being so, you probably want...
mainFunc = simpleHTTP nullConf handlers
-- etc.
handlers :: ServerPart Response
handlers =
do decodeBody myPolicy
msum [ fileServing
, myGetData
]
msum here combines a list of handlers into a single handler (note that also means msum on a list with a single handler is redundant).
