Body Parser as Middleware

[alec1o]

Description:

HTTP.Body.Enctype is already detected and saved, allowing us to simplify parsing the body content. The method HTTP.Body.Parse<T>() will use this detected enctype to automatically parse the content.
HTTP.Body.OnParse(HTTP.Enctype enctype, bool replaceOnMatch, Func<Type, object>) Used to set parser configuration.

Key Points:

• HTTP.Body.Enctype: Detected and saved separately.
• HTTP.Body.Parse<T>(): Uses the saved enctype to parse content based on the type (e.g., JSON, form data).

Benefits:

• Simplicity: One method to handle different enctype values.
• Extensible: Easily add support for more enctype values.
• Clean Parsing: Logic stays organized by using the already-detected enctype.
• Extra: replaceOnMatch Make custom middleware rewrite/override Already set parser handler

Example Usage:

var server = new HTTP.Server();

server.Map.Post("/", (request, response) =>
{
    var user = request.Body.Parse<CreateUserDTO>();
    if (user == null) return response.Send(400, "{'message': 'invalid body'}");
    return response.Send(201);
});

server.To.Open(new Uri("https://127.0.0.1:8080"));

Usage middleware to parse HTTP.Body

var server = new HTTP.Server();

server.Middleware.Add((request, response, next) =>
{
    var text = request.Body.Text;
    
    // .NET 6+, also can use Json.NET (Newtonsoft Json)  or others implementation
    // Adding JSON Enctype parser
    request.Body.OnParse(HTTP.Enctype.Json, false, (type) => JsonSerializer.Deserialize(text, type, JsonSerializerOptions.Default));
    
    // Adding YAML Enctype parser
    request.Body.OnParse(HTTP.Enctype.Yml, false, (type) => Example.Method(text, type, ExampleOptions.Default));
    
    // Adding XML Enctype parser
    request.Body.OnParse(HTTP.Enctype.Xml, false, (type) => Example.Method(text, type, ExampleOptions.Default));
    
    ...   
    
    next();
});

server.To.Open(new Uri("https://127.0.0.1:8080"));

Currently, there are no built-in parsers for Enctype, but the mechanism to implement middleware for parsing is already in place. In future versions, we will add built-in parsers for Enctypes such as JSON, XML, and YAML. This will reduce the need to manually create Enctype parsers to process the request body. However, even after the addition of these integrated parsers, you can still choose to use a more sophisticated parser, and the library will continue to support these parsing options via middleware in case you need to parse unsupported Enctypes or for any other reason. The key difference is that the built-in parsers will be available by default.

Enctype	Status
🌐 UrlEncoded	⏳ Planned
📂 Multipart	⏳ Planned
📄 Json	⏳ Planned
📜 Yaml	⏳ Planned
🗂️ Xml	⏳ Planned
📊 Csv	⏳ Planned
⚛️ GraphQL	⏳ Planned
📦 SoapXml	⏳ Planned

Notes:

• ⏳ Planned: This Enctype is scheduled to be added in future versions with parsing support.
• ✅ Built-in: This Enctype already has built-in parsing support in the library.
