Cro::HTTP::BodySerializerJSONClass

A Cro::HTTP::BodySerializer that knows about JSON::Class objects

Synopsis

use Cro::HTTP::Router;
use Cro::HTTP::Server;
use JSON::Class;
use Cro::HTTP::BodySerializerJSONClass;

class Foo does JSON::Class {
   has DateTime $.date is marshalled-by('Str') = DateTime.now;
}

my $app = route {
    get -> {
        content 'application/json', Foo.new;
    }
};

my Cro::Service $service = Cro::HTTP::Server.new(
   host                 => 'localhost',
   port                 => 7798,
   application          => $app,
   add-body-serializers => [ Cro::HTTP::BodySerializerJSONClass]
);

$service.start;

react whenever signal(SIGINT) { $service.stop; exit; }

Description

This provides a body serializer for Cro::HTTP that allows you to pass an object that does JSON::Class as an application/json response body. It simply needs to be added to the body serializers with the add-body-serializers parameter to the constructor of the Cro::HTTP::Server. Similarly it can be used to serialize a request body of a Cro::HTTP::Client if the add-body-serializers is provided to the constructor of Cro::HTTP::Client.

It might simplify programme design by using, for example, existing objects as the response to a web request.

Installation

Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation you should be able to install this with zef :
