## Detailed Description

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>
class restinio::http_server_t< Traits >

Class for http-server.

With the help of this class one can run a server. Server can be started and stopped in sync or async way.

Please note that it is responsibility of user to provide a working context for http_server. It means that user must call asio::io_context::run() on some work thread (or on several working threads).

Sync way for starting and stopping a http_server can be used only if http_server_t::open_sync() and http_server_t::close_sync() methods are called somewhere inside asio::io_context::run(). For example:

// Create and initialize object.
restinio::http_server_t< my_traits_t > server{
restinio::own_io_context(),
[&]( auto & settings ){
//
settings
.port( args.port() )
// .set_more_params( ... )
.request_handler(
[]( restinio::request_handle_t req ){
// Handle request.
} );
} };
// Post initial action to asio event loop.
asio::post( server.io_context(),
[&] {
// Starting the server in a sync way.
server.open_sync();
} );
// Running server.
server.io_context().run();
restinio::http_server_t
Class for http-server.
Definition: http_server.hpp:169
restinio::own_io_context
io_context_holder_t own_io_context()
Function which tells that http_server should create and use its own instance of io_context.
Definition: http_server.hpp:65
restinio::request_handle_t
std::shared_ptr< request_t > request_handle_t
An alias for handle for incoming request without additional extra-data.
Definition: request_handler.hpp:463

Async way for starting and stopping a http_server can be used if http_server_t::open_async() and http_server_t::open_async() can be called from any other thread. For example:

asio::io_context io_ctx;
restinio::http_server_t< my_traits_t > server{
restinio::external_io_context(io_ctx),
[&]( auto & settings ) { ... } };
// Launch thread on which server will work.
std::thread server_thread{ [&] {
io_ctx.run();
} };
// Start server in async way. Actual start will be performed
// on the context of server_thread.
server.open_async(
// Ok callback. Nothing to do.
[]{},
// Error callback. Rethrow an exception.
[]( auto ex_ptr ) {
std::rethrow_exception( ex_ptr );
} );
...
// Wait while server_thread finishes its work.
server_thread.join();
restinio::external_io_context
io_context_holder_t external_io_context(asio_ns::io_context &ctx)
Function which tells that http_server should use external instance of io_context and should not contr...

## Member Function Documentation

## call_cleanup_functor()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>

void restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::call_cleanup_functor | ( |  | ) |

inlineprivatenoexcept

Call a cleanup functor if it is defined.

Note
  Cleanup functor can be called only once. Next call to call_cleanup_functor() will do nothing.

Attention
  Cleanup functor can't throw.

Definition at line 392 of file http_server.hpp.

## call_nothrow_cb()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>
template<typename Callback >

static void restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::call_nothrow_cb | ( | Callback && | cb | ) |

inlinestaticprivatenoexcept

## close_async()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>
template<typename Server_Close_Ok_CB , typename Server_Close_Error_CB >

void restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::close_async | ( | Server_Close_Ok_CB | close_ok_cb,
|  | Server_Close_Error_CB | close_err_cb
| ) |  |

inline

Closes server in async way.

Note
  It doesn't call io_context to stop (

See also
  stop_io_context()).

Attention
  close_ok_cb and close_err_cb should be noexcept functions/lambdas. This requirement is not enforced by static_assert in RESTinio's code to avoid problems in cases when `std::function` is used for these callbacks.

Definition at line 319 of file http_server.hpp.

## close_sync()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>

void restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::close_sync | ( |  | ) |

inline

Stop server.

If server was stopped successfully then function returns, otherwise it throws.

Definition at line 348 of file http_server.hpp.

## io_context()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>

asio_ns::io_context & restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::io_context | ( |  | ) |

inlinenoexcept

Get io_context on which server runs.

Definition at line 249 of file http_server.hpp.

## open_async()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>
template<typename Server_Open_Ok_CB , typename Server_Open_Error_CB >

void restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::open_async | ( | Server_Open_Ok_CB | open_ok_cb,
|  | Server_Open_Error_CB | open_err_cb
| ) |  |

inline

Starts server in async way.

Note
  It is necessary to be sure that ioservice is running.

Attention
  open_ok_cb and open_err_cb should be noexcept functions/lambdas. This requirement is not enforced by static_assert in RESTinio's code to avoid problems in cases when `std::function` is used for these callbacks.

Definition at line 265 of file http_server.hpp.

## open_sync()

template<typename Traits = default_traits_t>

void restinio::http_server_t< Traits >::open_sync | ( |  | ) |

inline

Start server.

If server was started successfully then function returns, otherwise it throws.
