Fix build, documentation, and tests.

This commit makes it possible to build, document, and test Rocket v0.4.
The main changes are:

  * A `Cargo.lock` was added that includes references to yanked deps.
  * The `tls` feature isn't tested as `ring` fails to build.
  * The site guide was moved to `docs/guide`.
  * The `site/` directory was removed.

to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively

# Rocket Website Source
This directory contains the source files for the content on [Rocket's
website](https://rocket.rs).
## Contents
This directory contains the following:
* `index.toml` - Source data for the index.
* `overview.toml` - Source data for the overview page (`overview/`).
* `news/index.toml` - Source data for the news page (`news/`).
* `news/*.md` - News articles linked to from `news/index.toml`.
* `guide/*.md` - Guide pages linked to from `guide.md`.
[Rocket Programming Guide]: https://rocket.rs/v0.4/guide/
### Guide Links
Cross-linking guide pages is accomplished via relative links. Outside of the
index, this is: `../{page}#anchor`. For instance, to link to the **Quickstart >
Running Examples** page, use `../quickstart#running-examples`.
### Aliases
Aliases are shorthand URLs that start with `@` (e.g, `@api`). They are used
throughout the guide to simplify versioning URLs to Rocket's source code and the
Rocket API. They are replaced at build time with a URL prefix. At present, the
following aliases are available, where `${version}` is Rocket's version string
at the time of compilation:
* `@example`: https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/tree/${version}/examples
* `@github`: https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/tree/${version}
* `@api`: https://api.rocket.rs/${version}
For example, to link to `Rocket::launch()`, you might write:
```md
Launch an instance of your application using the [`launch()`] method.
[`launch()`]: @api/rocket/struct.Rocket.html#method.launch
```

# Rocket v0.2: Managed State & More
<p class="metadata"><strong>
Posted by <a href="https://sergio.bz">Sergio Benitez</a> on February 06, 2017
</strong></p>
<!-- we should be able to generate the title and subheading -->
Today marks the first major release since Rocket's debut a little over a month
ago. Rocket v0.2 packs a ton of new features, fixes, and general improvements.
Much of the development in v0.2 was led by the community, either through reports
via the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues)
or via direct contributions. In fact, there have been **20 unique contributors**
to Rocket's codebase since Rocket's initial introduction! Community feedback has
been incredible. As a special thank you, we include the names of these
contributors at the end of this article.
## About Rocket
Rocket is a web framework for Rust with a focus on ease of use, expressibility,
and speed. Rocket makes it simple to write fast web applications without
sacrificing flexibility or type safety. All with minimal code.
> Rocket's so simple, you feel like you're doing something wrong. It's like if
> you're making fire with rocks and suddenly someone gives you a lighter. Even
> though you know the lighter makes fire, and does it even faster and better and
> with a simple flick, the rock's still in your brain.
>
> -- <cite>Artem "impowski" Biryukov, January 17, 2017, on **#rocket**</cite>
## New Features
Rocket v0.2 includes several new features that make developing Rocket
applications simpler, faster, and safer than ever before.
### Managed State
Undoubtedly, the star feature of this release is **managed state**. Managed
state allows you to pass state to Rocket prior to launching your application and
later retrieve that state from any request handler by simply including the
state's type in the function signature. It works in two easy steps:
1. Call `manage` on the `Rocket` instance corresponding to your application
with the initial value of the state.
2. Add a `State<T>` type to any request handler, where `T` is the type of the
value passed into `manage`.
Rocket takes care of the rest! `State` works through Rocket's [request
guards](../../guide/requests/#request-guards). You can call `manage` any number
of times, as long as each call corresponds to a value of a different type.
As a simple example, consider the following "hit counter" example application:
```rust
struct HitCount(AtomicUsize);
#[get("/")]
fn index(hit_count: State<HitCount>) -> &'static str {
hit_count.0.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
"Your visit has been recorded!"
}
#[get("/count")]
fn count(hit_count: State<HitCount>) -> String {
hit_count.0.load(Ordering::Relaxed).to_string()
}
fn main() {
rocket::ignite()
.mount("/", routes![index, count])
.manage(HitCount(AtomicUsize::new(0)))
.launch()
}
```
Visiting `/` will record a visit by incrementing the hit count by 1. Visiting
the `/count` path will display the current hit count.
One concern when using _managed state_ is that you might forget to call `manage`
with some state's value before launching your application. Not to worry: Rocket
has your back! Let's imagine for a second that we forgot to add the call to
`manage` on line 17 in the example above. Here's what the compiler would emit
when we compile our buggy application:

You can read more about managed state in the [guide](../../guide/state/), the
API docs for [manage](@api/rocket/struct.Rocket.html#method.manage), and the API
docs for [State](@api/rocket/struct.State.html).
### Unmounted Routes Lint
A common mistake that new Rocketeers make is forgetting to
[mount](../../guide/overview/#mounting) declared routes. In Rocket v0.2, Rocket
adds a _lint_ that results in a compile-time warning for unmounted routes. As a
simple illustration, consider the canonical "Hello, world!" Rocket application
below, and note that we've forgotten to mount the `hello` route:
```rust
#[get("/")]
fn hello() -> &'static str {
"Hello, world!"
}
fn main() {
rocket::ignite().launch();
}
```
When this program is compiled, the compiler emits the following warning:
```rust
warning: the 'hello' route is not mounted
--> src/main.rs:2:1
|
2 | fn hello() -> &'static str {
| _^ starting here...
3 | | "Hello, world!"
4 | | }
| |_^ ...ending here
|
= note: Rocket will not dispatch requests to unmounted routes.
help: maybe add a call to 'mount' here?
--> src/main.rs:7:5
|
7 | rocket::ignite().launch();
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
The lint can be disabled selectively per route by adding an
`#[allow(unmounted_route)]` annotation to a given route declaration. It can also
be disabled globally by adding `#![allow(unmounted_route)]`. You can read more
about this lint in the [codegen documentation](@api/rocket_codegen/index.html).
### Configuration via Environment Variables
A new feature that makes deploying Rocket apps to the cloud a little easier is
configuration via environment variables. Simply put, any configuration parameter
can be set via an environment variable of the form `ROCKET_{PARAM}`, where
`{PARAM}` is the name of the configuration parameter. For example, to set the
`port` Rocket listens on, simply set the `ROCKET_PORT` environment variable:
```sh
ROCKET_PORT=3000 cargo run --release
```
Configuration parameters set via environment variables take precedence over
parameters set via the `Rocket.toml` configuration file. Note that _any_
parameter can be set via an environment variable, include _extras_. For more
about configuration in Rocket, see the [configuration section of the
guide](../../guide/overview#configuration).
### And Plenty More!
Rocket v0.2 is full of many new features! In addition to the three features
described above, v0.2 also includes the following:
* `Config` structures can be built via `ConfigBuilder`, which follows the
builder pattern.
* Logging can be enabled or disabled on custom configuration via a second
parameter to the `Rocket::custom` method.
* `name` and `value` methods were added to `Header` to retrieve the name and
value of a header.
* A new configuration parameter, `workers`, can be used to set the number of
threads Rocket uses.
* The address of the remote connection is available via `Request.remote()`.
Request preprocessing overrides remote IP with value from the `X-Real-IP`
header, if present.
* During testing, the remote address can be set via `MockRequest.remote()`.
* The `SocketAddr` request guard retrieves the remote address.
* A `UUID` type has been added to `contrib`.
* `rocket` and `rocket_codegen` will refuse to build with an incompatible
nightly version and emit nice error messages.
* Major performance and usability improvements were upstreamed to the `cookie`
crate, including the addition of a `CookieBuilder`.
* When a checkbox isn't present in a form, `bool` types in a `FromForm`
structure will parse as `false`.
* The `FormItems` iterator can be queried for a complete parse via `completed`
and `exhausted`.
* Routes for `OPTIONS` requests can be declared via the `options` decorator.
* Strings can be percent-encoded via `URI::percent_encode()`.
## Breaking Changes
This release includes several breaking changes. These changes are listed below
along with a short note about how to handle the breaking change in existing
applications.
* **`Rocket::custom` takes two parameters, the first being `Config` by
value.**
A call in v0.1 of the form `Rocket::custom(&config)` is now
`Rocket::custom(config, false)`.
* **Tera templates are named without their extension.**
A templated named `name.html.tera` is now simply `name`.
* **`JSON` `unwrap` method has been renamed to `into_inner`.**
A call to `.unwrap()` should be changed to `.into_inner()`.
* **The `map!` macro was removed in favor of the `json!` macro.**
A call of the form `map!{ "a" => b }` can be written as: `json!({ "a": b
})`.
* **The `hyper::SetCookie` header is no longer exported.**
Use the `Cookie` type as an `Into<Header>` type directly.
* **The `Content-Type` for `String` is now `text/plain`.**
Use `content::HTML<String>` for HTML-based `String` responses.
* **`Request.content_type()` returns an `Option<ContentType>`.**
Use `.unwrap_or(ContentType::Any)` to get the old behavior.
* **The `ContentType` request guard forwards when the request has no
`Content-Type` header.**
Use an `Option<ContentType>` and `.unwrap_or(ContentType::Any)` for the old
behavior.
* **A `Rocket` instance must be declared _before_ a `MockRequest`.**
Change the order of the `rocket::ignite()` and `MockRequest::new()` calls.
* **A route with `format` specified only matches requests with the same
format.**
Previously, a route with a `format` would match requests without a format
specified. There is no workaround to this change; simply specify formats
when required.
* **`FormItems` can no longer be constructed directly.**
Instead of constructing as `FormItems(string)`, construct as
`FormItems::from(string)`.
* **`from_from_string(&str)` in `FromForm` removed in favor of
`from_form_items(&mut FormItems)`.**
Most implementation should be using `FormItems` internally; simply use the
passed in `FormItems`. In other cases, the form string can be retrieved via
the `inner_str` method of `FormItems`.
* **`Config::{set, default_for}` are deprecated.**
Use the `set_{param}` methods instead of `set`, and `new` or `build` in
place of `default_for`.
* **Route paths must be absolute.**
Prepend a `/` to convert a relative path into an absolute one.
* **Route paths cannot contain empty segments.**
Remove any empty segments, including trailing ones, from a route path.
## Bug Fixes
Three bugs were fixed in this release:
* Handlebars partials were not properly registered
([#122](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/122)).
* `Rocket::custom` did not set the custom configuration as the `active`
configuration.
* Route path segments with more than one dynamic parameter were erroneously
allowed.
## General Improvements
In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following smaller improvements:
* Rocket no longer overwrites a catcher's response status.
* The `port` `Config` type is now a proper `u16`.
* Clippy issues injected by codegen are resolved.
* Handlebars was updated to `0.25`.
* The `PartialEq` implementation of `Config` doesn't consider the path or
session key.
* Hyper dependency updated to `0.10`.
* The `Error` type for `JSON as FromData` has been exposed as `SerdeError`.
* SVG was added as a known Content-Type.
* Serde was updated to `0.9`.
* Form parse failure now results in a **422** error code.
* Tera has been updated to `0.7`.
* `pub(crate)` is used throughout to enforce visibility rules.
* Query parameters in routes (`/path?<param>`) are now logged.
* Routes with and without query parameters no longer _collide_.
Rocket v0.2 also includes all of the new features, bug fixes, and improvements
from versions 0.1.1 through 0.1.6. You can read more about these changes in the
[v0.1
CHANGELOG](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/blob/v0.1/CHANGELOG.md).
## What's next?
Work now begins on Rocket v0.3! The focus of the next major release will be on
security. In particular, three major security features are planned:
1. **Automatic CSRF protection across all payload-based requests
([#14](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/14)).**
Rocket will automatically check the origin of requests made for HTTP `PUT`,
`POST`, `DELETE`, and `PATCH` requests, allowing only authorized requests to
be dispatched. This includes checking `POST`s from form submissions and any
requests made via JavaScript.
2. **Encryption and signing of session-based cookies
([#20](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/20)).**
Built-in session support will encrypt and sign cookies using a user supplied
`session_key`. Encryption and signing will occur automatically for
session-based cookies.
3. **Explicit typing of raw HTTP data strings
([#43](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/43)).**
A present, the standard `&str` type is used to represent raw HTTP data
strings. In the next release, a new type, `&RawStr`, will be used for this
purpose. This will make it clear when raw data is being handled. The type
will expose convenient methods such as `.url_decode()` and `.html_escape()`.
Work on Rocket v0.3 will also involve exploring built-in support for user
authentication and authorization as well as automatic parsing of multipart
forms.

# Rocket v0.3: Fairings, TLS, Private Cookies
<p class="metadata"><strong>
Posted by <a href="https://sergio.bz">Sergio Benitez</a> on July 14, 2017
</strong></p>
I'm excited to announce that the next major release of Rocket is available
today! Rocket 0.3 is packed with new features and improvements that increase
developer productivity, improve application security, and provide new
opportunities for extensibility. Rocket 0.3 is the culmination of almost 6
months of work. During this time, more than 225 changes were committed, over 100
issues (primarily questions and feature requests) were closed, and over 40 pull
requests were submitted. The Rocket community has proven steadfast in their
support: a sincere thank you to everyone involved!
## About Rocket
Rocket is a web framework for Rust with a focus on ease of use, expressibility,
and speed. Rocket makes it simple to write fast web applications without
sacrificing flexibility or type safety. All with minimal code.
Not already using Rocket? Join the thousands of users and dozens of companies
happily using Rocket today! Rocket's extensive documentation makes it easy. Get
started now by [reading through the guide](../../guide) or learning more from
[the overview](../../overview).
## What's New?
Rocket 0.3 is a _big_ release, packed with over 100 changes. We highlight the
biggest new features here. For a complete description of everything new and
different in 0.3, please see the [CHANGELOG].
[CHANGELOG]: https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/blob/v0.3.0/CHANGELOG.md#version-030-jul-14-2017
### Fairings
Fairings bring structured middleware to Rocket. With fairings, Rocket
applications can hook into the application lifecycle to record or rewrite
information about incoming requests, outgoing responses, and the Rocket
application itself.
Rocket's fairings are a lot like middleware from other frameworks, but they bear
a few key distinctions:
* Fairings cannot directly terminate or respond to an incoming request.
* Fairings cannot inject arbitrary, non-request data into a request.
* Fairings _can_ prevent an application from launching.
* Fairings _can_ inspect and modify the application's configuration.
Fairings are implemented through Rocket's [`Fairing`] trait. The trait consists
of callback methods that Rocket invokes as needed. A fairing can subscribe to
receive callbacks for the following four events:
* **Attach**: called when a fairing is first registered.
* **Launch**: called immediately before the Rocket application launches.
* **Request**: called just after a request is received.
* **Response**: called when a response is ready to be returned.
The new [fairings guide] describes fairings in detail, expands on their
limitations and abilities, and includes implementation examples. I encourage you
to experiment with fairings and report your experiences. As always, feedback is
instrumental in solidifying a robust design.
[`Fairing`]: @api/rocket/fairing/trait.Fairing.html
[fairings guide]: ../../guide/fairings
### Native TLS Support
Rocket 0.3 includes built-in, experimental support for TLS, powered by
[`rustls`]. To enable TLS support, compile Rocket with the `tls` feature
enabled. Then, configure file paths to an RSA certificate chain and
corresponding private key in the `Rocket.toml` file or via environment
variables:
```toml
[global.tls]
certs = "/path/to/certs.pem"
key = "/path/to/key.pem"
```
TLS support in Rocket is experimental and not yet recommended for general use
over the internet. Instead, prefer to place Rocket behind a mature reverse-proxy
such as NGINX. That being said, use of Rocket's TLS support is encouraged for
local networking (such as local-only IoT devices) or as required during
development.
For more details on Rocket's TLS support, see the [configuring TLS] section of
the guide.
[`rustls`]: https://github.com/ctz/rustls
[configuring TLS]: ../../guide/configuration/#configuring-tls
### Private Cookies
In Rocket 0.3, cookies can be _private_. Private cookies are encrypted using
authenticated encryption, a form of encryption which simultaneously provides
confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. This means that private cookies
cannot be inspected, tampered with, or manufactured by clients.
Retrieving, adding, and removing private cookies is done via the new
[`get_private`], [`add_private`], and [`remove_private`] methods on the
[`Cookies`] type. As an example, consider the code below which sets and
retrieves a `user_id` private cookie in two routes:
```rust
/// Retrieve the user's ID, if any.
#[get("/user_id")]
fn user_id(cookies: Cookies) -> Option<String> {
request.cookies()
.get_private("user_id")
.map(|cookie| format!("User ID: {}", cookie.value()))
}
/// Remove the `user_id` cookie.
#[post("/logout")]
fn logout(mut cookies: Cookies) -> Flash<Redirect> {
cookies.remove_private(Cookie::named("user_id"));
Flash::success(Redirect::to("/"), "Successfully logged out.")
}
```
To encrypt private cookies, Rocket uses the 256-bit key specified in the
`secret_key` configuration parameter. If one is not specified, Rocket
automatically generates a fresh key at launch.
For more details on private cookies, see the [private cookies] section of the
guide.
[`Cookies`]: @api/rocket/http/enum.Cookies.html
[`get_private`]: @api/rocket/http/enum.Cookies.html#method.get_private
[`add_private`]: @api/rocket/http/enum.Cookies.html#method.add_private
[`remove_private`]: @api/rocket/http/enum.Cookies.html#method.remove_private
[private cookies]: ../../guide/requests/#private-cookies
### Form Field Naming
In 0.2 and below, Rocket always matches form field names to structure field
names exactly when deriving [`FromForm`]. This presented an issue when an
invalid Rust identifier was used as a form field's name. For example, it was not
possible to represent a form with a field name of "type" since `type` is a
keyword and thus an illegal identifier. The following resulted in a compile-time
error:
```rust
#[derive(FromForm)]
struct External {
type: String
}
```
In Rocket 0.3, you can ask Rocket to match against a different form field for a
given structure field by using the `#[form(field = "name")]` field annotation.
As a result, the "type" form field can now be captured using something like the
following:
```rust
#[derive(FromForm)]
struct External {
#[form(field = "type")]
api_type: String
}
```
Rocket will automatically match the form field named "type" to the structure
field named `api_type`. For more details on form field naming, see the [field
renaming](../../guide/requests/#field-renaming) section of the guide.
[`FromForm`]: @api/rocket/request/trait.FromForm.html
### And Plenty More!
In addition to the four highlighted above, Rocket 0.3 also ships with the
following new features:
* A [`MsgPack`] type has been added for simple consumption and returning of
MessagePack data.
* [`Rocket::launch()`] returns launch failures ([`LaunchError`]) for
inspection without panicking.
* Routes without query parameters now match requests with or without query
parameters.
* [Default rankings] prefer static paths and routes with query string matches.
* A native [`Accept`] header structure was added.
* The [`Accept`] request header can be retrieved via [`Request::accept()`].
* All active routes can be retrieved via [`Rocket::routes()`].
* [`Response::body_string()`] was added to retrieve the response body as a
`String`.
* [`Response::body_bytes()`] was added to retrieve the response body as a
`Vec<u8>`.
* [`Response::content_type()`] was added to retrieve the Content-Type header
of a response.
* Data limits on incoming data are [now
configurable](../../guide/configuration/#data-limits).
* [`Request::limits()`] was added to retrieve incoming data limits.
* Responders may dynamically adjust their response based on the incoming
request.
* [`Request::guard()`] was added for simple retrieval of request guards.
* [`Request::route()`] was added to retrieve the active route, if any.
* [`&Route`] is now a request guard.
* The base mount path of a [`Route`] can be retrieved via `Route::base` or
`Route::base()`.
* `Config::{development, staging, production}` constructors were added for
[`Config`].
* [`Config::get_datetime()`] was added to retrieve an extra as a `Datetime`.
* Forms can be now parsed _leniently_ via the new [`LenientForm`] data guard.
* The `?` operator can now be used with `Outcome`.
* Quoted string, array, and table [configuration parameters] can be set via
environment variables.
* Log coloring is disabled when `stdout` is not a TTY.
* [`FromForm`] is implemented for `Option<T: FromForm>`, `Result<T: FromForm,
T::Error>`.
* The [`NotFound`] responder was added for simple **404** response
construction.

## Breaking Changes
This release includes many breaking changes such as support for `serde` 1.0. To
keep this release note short, please see the
[CHANGELOG](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/blob/v0.3.0/CHANGELOG.md#breaking-changes)
for the full list of breaking changes along with a short note about how to
handle the breaking change in existing applications.
## General Improvements
In addition to new features, Rocket saw the following improvements:
* "Rocket" is now capitalized in the `Server` HTTP header.
* The generic parameter of `rocket_contrib::Json` defaults to `json::Value`.
* The trailing '...' in the launch message was removed.
* The launch message prints regardless of the config environment.
* For debugging, `FromData` is implemented for `Vec<u8>` and `String`.
* The port displayed on launch is the port resolved, not the one configured.
* The `uuid` dependency was updated to `0.5`.
* The `base64` dependency was updated to `0.6`.
* The `toml` dependency was updated to `0.4`.
* The `handlebars` dependency was updated to `0.27`.
* The `tera` dependency was updated to `0.10`.
* [`yansi`] is now used for all terminal coloring.
* The `dev` `rustc` release channel is supported during builds.
* [`Config`] is now exported from the root.
* [`Request`] implements `Clone` and `Debug`.
* The `workers` config parameter now defaults to `num_cpus * 2`.
* Console logging for table-based config values is improved.
* `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, and `Hash` are now implemented for [`State`].
* The format of a request is always logged when available.

[`State`]: @api/rocket/struct.State.html
[`Config`]: @api/rocket/struct.Config.html
## What's Next?
Rocket 0.4, of course! The focus of the next major release is two-fold: security
and usability. The following major features are planned:
1. **Automatic CSRF protection across all payload-based requests
([#14](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/14)).**
This is a carry-over from the 0.3 wishlist. Rocket will automatically check
the origin of requests made for HTTP `PUT`, `POST`, `DELETE`, and `PATCH`
requests, allowing only valid requests to be dispatched. This includes
checking form submissions and requests made via JavaScript.
2. **First-class database support
([#167](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/167)).**
Connecting a database to Rocket is presently [much wordier than necessary].
The plan for 0.4 is to minimize the amount of effort. At most, a couple of
lines of configuration and a single line of initialization code should be
required.
3. **Typed URL generation from routes
([#263](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/263)).**
Explicitly writing URLs is error-prone. Because routes are fully-typed in
Rocket, it's possible to check that a URL corresponding to a route
type-checks. In the next release, a `url!` macro will be available to
automatically generate URLs for routes in a type-safe manner.

### Maintainers += 1
An open source project is as much about the people as it is about the code. This
is why I am delighted to welcome [@jebrosen] as Rocket's first co-maintainer!
Jeb is directly responsible for several of the new features in 0.4, has
painstakingly code reviewed many other changes, and actively answers questions
and resolves issues on GitHub, IRC, and offline.
Needless to say, Rocket is a better project thanks to you, Jeb. Welcome!

### Codegen Rewrite
In 0.4, the [`rocket_codegen`] crate has been entirely rewritten to use
to-be-stable procedural macro APIs where it previously used private, unstable
`rustc` APIs. While this is largely an internal change, it has big, positive
implications for all Rocket users.
First and foremost, the path to Rocket on stable is now clearly in sight. While
there are still hurdles to overcome, we are actively working with the Rust team
to make Rocket on stable a reality as soon as possible. We expect the next major
Rocket release to support the stable channel.
Second, but equally important, we expect breakages due to nightly changes to
drop dramatically, likely to zero. This means that Rocket is largely already
_de-facto_ toolchain stable.
The new prelude import for Rocket applications is:
```diff
- #![feature(plugin)]
- #![plugin(rocket_codegen)]
+ #![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]
- extern crate rocket;
+ #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
```
[`rocket_codegen`] should **_not_** be a direct dependency. Remove it from your
`Cargo.toml`:
```diff
[dependencies]
- rocket = "0.3"
+ rocket = "0.4"
- rocket_codegen = "0.3"
```
[`rocket_codegen`]: https://api.rocket.rs/v0.4/rocket_codegen/index.html
### Typed URIs
Rocket 0.4 introduces the [`uri!`] macro, allowing you to construct URIs to
routes in a robust, type-safe, and URI-safe manner. Type or route parameter
mismatches are caught at compile-time, and changes to route URIs are
automatically reflected in the generated URIs.
To illustrate, consider the following route:
```rust
#[get("/person/<name>?<age>")]
fn person(name: String, age: Option<u8>)
```
URIs to this `person` route can be created as follows:
```rust
// with unnamed parameters, in route URI declaration order
let uri = uri!(person: "Mike Smith", 28);
assert_eq!(uri.to_string(), "/person/Mike%20Smith?age=28");
// with named parameters, order irrelevant
let uri = uri!(person: name = "Mike", age = 28);
let uri = uri!(person: age = 28, name = "Mike");
assert_eq!(uri.to_string(), "/person/Mike?age=28");
// with a specific mount-point
let uri = uri!("/api", person: name = "Mike", age = 28);
assert_eq!(uri.to_string(), "/api/person/Mike?age=28");
// with optional query parameters ignored
let uri = uri!(person: "Mike", _);
let uri = uri!(person: name = "Mike", age = _);
assert_eq!(uri.to_string(), "/person/Mike");
```
Should your route's URI change in an incompatible manner, or should you mistype
parameters, Rocket informs you of the error at compile-time with a helpful
message:
```rust
error: person route uri expects 2 parameters but 1 was supplied
--> examples/uri/src/main.rs:9:29
|
9 | uri!(person: "Mike Smith");
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: expected parameters: name: String, age: Option<u8>
```
The same applies to type errors: Rocket informs you of any type errors at
compile-time as well:
```rust
error: the trait bound u8: FromUriParam<Query, &str> is not satisfied
--> examples/uri/src/main.rs:9:35
|
9 | uri!(person: age = "10", name = "Mike");
| ^^^^ FromUriParam<Query, &str> is not implemented for u8
|
```
We recommend that `uri!` is exclusively used when constructing route URIs. For
more information on typed URIs, see the new [Typed URIs] guide section and the
[`uri!`] macro documentation.
[`uri!`]: @api/rocket_codegen/macro.uri.html
[Typed URIs]: ../../guide/responses/#typed-uris
### Database Support
Rocket now includes built-in, ORM-agnostic support for database connection
pooling. More specifically, Rocket allows you to easily configure and connect
your Rocket application to databases through connection pools in three simple,
largely automated steps:
1. Configure databases in `Rocket.toml`.
2. Associate a request guard type and fairing with each database.
3. Use the request guard to retrieve a connection in a handler.
As an example, for a Diesel-based SQLite database named `sqlite_logs`, your
`Rocket.toml` would record the URL to the database in the `databases` table:
```toml
[global.databases]
sqlite_logs = { url = "/path/to/database.sqlite" }
```
In the application, a unit-like `struct` with one internal type (the database
connection) is decorated with the `#[database]` attribute and the name of the
configured database. This generates a fairing which must then be attached:
```rust
#[database("sqlite_logs")]
struct LogsDbConn(diesel::SqliteConnection);
rocket::ignite().attach(LogsDbConn::fairing())
```
That's it! Whenever a connection to the database is needed, the type can be used
as a request guard:
```rust
#[get("/logs/<id>")]
fn get_logs(conn: LogsDbConn, id: usize) -> Result<Logs> {
logs::filter(id.eq(log_id)).load(&conn)
}
```
For more information on Rocket's database support, see the new [Database] guide
section and the [`rocket_contrib::databases`] module documentation.
[Database]: ../../guide/state/#databases
[`rocket_contrib::databases`]: @api/rocket_contrib/databases/index.html
### Revamped Queries
In Rocket 0.4, query string handling has been completely overhauled, resolving
some of the most called for requests in Rocket's history ([#608]). The new query
handling route syntax and semantics were designed with the following goals in
mind:
* Enable matching of static query components.
* No special-casing of any kind, preferring type-driven flows.
* Ad-hoc matching of specific query key/value pairs.
* Lenient parsing by default, allowing missing parameters.
* Order-independent matching of query parameters.
To illustrate the new system in action, consider the following route:
```rust
#[derive(FromForm)]
struct DogDetails {
color: Color,
height: Inches,
weight: Pounds
}
#[get("/animal?dog&<name>&<nickname>&<rest..>")]
fn dog(name: String, nickname: Option<String>, rest: Form<DogDetails>)
```
This route matches any `GET` request with a path of `/animal`, a static query
component of `dog`, and key/value parameters of `color`, `height`, and `weight`
that validate as `Color`, `Inches`, and `Pounds`, respectively. Furthermore, it
optionally accepts a key/value parameter of `nickname`. If the value is present,
`nickname` will be `Some`; if it is not, `nickname` will be `None`.
Single parameters (`<param>`) like `name` and `nickname` are validated using the
existing [`FromFormValue`] trait while trailing parameters (`<param..>`) are
validated using the new [`FromQuery`] trait. Both traits are user implementable,
and [`FromFormValue`] can be derived.
For more details on handling query strings, see the new [Query Strings] guide
section and the updated [`route` attribute] documentation.
[`FromFormValue`]: @api/rocket/request/trait.FromFormValue.html
[`FromQuery`]: @api/rocket/request/trait.FromQuery.html
[`route` attribute]: @api/rocket_codegen/attr.get.html
[Query Strings]: ../../guide/requests/#query-strings
[#608]: https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/issues/608
### Stateful Handlers
The type of a handler has been generalized in 0.4 to any type that implements
the new [`Handler`] trait. Among other things, this allows handlers to refer to
internal state during request handling.
The new [`StaticFiles`] `contrib` type uses this functionality to provide
easier-than-ever static file serving. For example, to make local files from a
`/static` directory accessible at `/public`, you need simply write:
```rust
fn main() {
rocket::ignite()
.mount("/public", StaticFiles::from("/static"))
.launch();
}
```
We encourage users to explore the new `Handler` API and contribute libraries
with pluggable handlers! For more details, see the [`Handler`] documentation.
[`Handler`]: @api/rocket/trait.Handler.html
[`StaticFiles`]: @api/rocket_contrib/serve/struct.StaticFiles.html
### Responder Derive
In Rocket 0.4, the [`Responder`] trait can be derived for `enum`s and `struct`s
with named fields. This greatly simplifies returning multiple types of responses
from a single handler.
To illustrate, consider a route that returns either a `Json<Info>` structure for
401 (unauthorized) errors or a `NamedFile` with a dynamic Content-Type for 404
(not found) errors. To accomplish this previously, `Result` values could be
arbitrarily nested, an unappealing and semantically incorrect approach.
Alternatively, an `enum` could be declared with the appropriate variants, and
`Responder` could be manually implemented for the `enum`. As of 0.4, that
implementation can be automatically derived:
```rust
#[derive(Responder, Debug)]
enum Error {
#[response(status = 401)]
Unauthorized(Json<Info>),
#[response(status = 404)]
NotFound(NamedFile, ContentType),
}
```
A value of this type can then be returned from a hander or used as part of
wrapping responders:
```rust
#[get("/<item>")]
fn handler(user: Option<User>, item: Option<Item>) -> Result<T, Error> {
if user.is_none() {
Err(Error::Unauthorized(..))
} else if item.is_none() {
Err(Error::NotFound(..))
} else {
Ok(..)
}
}
```
The status for each variant will be automatically set to the value of the
`status` variant attribute, and fields beyond the first will be added as
headers to the response (here, `ContentType`).
For more on using the `Responder` derive, see the new [Custom Responders] guide
section and the [`Responder` derive] documentation.
[Custom Responders]: ../../guide/responses/#custom-responders
[`Responder` derive]: @api/rocket_codegen/derive.Responder.html
[`Responder`]: @api/rocket/response/trait.Responder.html
### Live Template Reloading
Rocket 0.4 automatically reloads changed templates at runtime without requiring
recompilation. This works on all major platforms. For security and performance
reasons, live template reloading is only enabled when the application is
compiled in debug mode.
There is no configuration necessary: this _just works_ out of the box!
### And Plenty More!
In addition to the features highlighted above, Rocket 0.4 also contains the
following new features:
* Introduced [Request-Local State].
* Introduced [transforming] data guards via [`FromData::transform()`].

`Config::new(Environment::active()?)`.
* Address/port binding errors at launch are detected and explicitly emitted.
* [`Flash`] cookies are cleared only after they are inspected.
* `Sync` bound on [`AdHoc::on_attach()`], [`AdHoc::on_launch()`] was removed.
* [`AdHoc::on_attach()`], [`AdHoc::on_launch()`] accept an `FnOnce`.
* Added [`Config::root_relative()`] for retrieving paths relative to the
configuration file.

## What's Next?
Rocket v0.5 is scheduled to be _at least_ as exciting as 0.4! As always, the
focus continues to be usability, stability, security, and performance. With this
in mind, the roadmap for 0.5 includes:
1. **Support for Rust Stable** ([#19])
Finally! Rocket 0.5 will compile and run on stable versions of the Rust
compiler.
2. **Asynchronous Request Handling** ([#17])
In 0.5, Rocket will migrate to the latest asynchronous version of `hyper` and
`futures` with compatibility for `async`/`await` syntax. Of utmost importance
is preserving Rocket's usability. As such, these changes will be largely
internal, with asynchronous I/O peeking over the covers _only_ when
explicitly desired or required. As a side effect, we expect a substantial
performance boost from the migration as well as resolution to long-standing
issues.
3. **Multipart Form Support** ([#106])
The lack of built-in multipart form support makes handling file uploads and
other submissions much more cumbersome than necessary. Rocket 0.5 will
generalize its existing forms infrastructure to handle multipart forms.
4. **Stronger CSRF and XSS Protection** ([#14])
Since 0.3, Rocket uses `SameSite: Strict` private cookies to prevent CSRF
attacks. This technique is only tenable in newer browsers. In 0.5, Rocket
will protect against CSRF using more robust techniques. Rocket will also add
support for automatic, browser-based XSS protection.

[[panels]]
name = "Routing"
checked = true
content = '''
Rocket's main task is to route incoming requests to the appropriate request
handler using your application's declared routes. Routes are declared using
Rocket's _route_ attributes. The attribute describes the requests that match the
route. The attribute is placed on top of a function that is the request handler
for that route.
As an example, consider the simple route below:
```rust
#[get("/")]
fn index() -> &'static str {
"Hello, world!"
}
```
This route, named `index`, will match against incoming HTTP `GET` requests to
the `/` path, the index. The request handler returns a string. Rocket will use
the string as the body of a fully formed HTTP response.
'''
[[panels]]
name = "Dynamic Params"
content = '''
Rocket allows you to interpret segments of a request path dynamically. To
illustrate, let's use the following route:
```rust
#[get("/hello/<name>/<age>")]
fn hello(name: String, age: u8) -> String {
format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
}
```
The `hello` route above matches two dynamic path segments declared inside
brackets in the path: `<name>` and `<age>`. _Dynamic_ means that the segment can
be _any_ value the end-user desires.
Each dynamic parameter (`name` and `age`) must have a type, here `&str` and
`u8`, respectively. Rocket will attempt to parse the string in the parameter's
position in the path into that type. The route will only be called if parsing
succeeds. To parse the string, Rocket uses the
[FromParam](@api/rocket/request/trait.FromParam.html) trait,
which you can implement for your own types!
'''
[[panels]]
name = "Handling Data"
content = '''
Request body data is handled in a special way in Rocket: via the
[FromData](@api/rocket/data/trait.FromData.html) trait. Any type that implements
`FromData` can be derived from incoming body data. To tell Rocket that you're
expecting request body data, the `data` route argument is used with the name of
the parameter in the request handler:
```rust
#[post("/login", data = "<user_form>")]
fn login(user_form: Form<UserLogin>) -> String {
format!("Hello, {}!", user_form.name)
}
```
The `login` route above says that it expects `data` of type `Form<UserLogin>` in
the `user_form` parameter. The [Form](@api/rocket/request/struct.Form.html) type
is a built-in Rocket type that knows how to parse web forms into structures.
Rocket will automatically attempt to parse the request body into the `Form` and
call the `login` handler if parsing succeeds. Other built-in `FromData` types
include [`Data`](@api/rocket/struct.Data.html),
[`Json`](@api/rocket_contrib/json/struct.Json.html), and
[`Flash`](@api/rocket/response/struct.Flash.html).
'''
[[panels]]
name = "Request Guards"
content = '''
In addition to dynamic path and data parameters, request handlers can also
contain a third type of parameter: _request guards_. Request guards aren't
declared in the route attribute, and any number of them can appear in the
request handler signature.
Request guards _protect_ the handler from running unless some set of conditions
are met by the incoming request metadata. For instance, if you are writing an
API that requires sensitive calls to be accompanied by an API key in the request
header, Rocket can protect those calls via a custom `ApiKey` request guard:
```rust
#[get("/sensitive")]
fn sensitive(key: ApiKey) { ... }
```
`ApiKey` protects the `sensitive` handler from running incorrectly. In order for
Rocket to call the `sensitive` handler, the `ApiKey` type needs to be derived
through a [`FromRequest`](@api/rocket/request/trait.FromRequest.html)
implementation, which in this case, validates the API key header. Request guards
are a powerful and unique Rocket concept; they centralize application policy and
invariants through types.
'''
[[panels]]
name = "Responders"
content = '''
The return type of a request handler can be any type that implements
[Responder](@api/rocket/response/trait.Responder.html):
```rust
#[get("/")]
fn route() -> T { ... }
```
Above, T must implement `Responder`. Rocket implements `Responder` for many of
the standard library types including `&str`, `String`, `File`, `Option`, and
`Result`. Rocket also implements custom responders such as
[Redirect](@api/rocket/response/struct.Redirect.html),
[Flash](@api/rocket/response/struct.Flash.html), and
[Template](@api/rocket_contrib/templates/struct.Template.html).
The task of a `Responder` is to generate a
[`Response`](@api/rocket/response/struct.Response.html), if possible.
`Responder`s can fail with a status code. When they do, Rocket calls the
corresponding error catcher, a `catch` route, which can be declared as follows:
```rust
#[catch(404)]
fn not_found() -> T { ... }
```
'''
[[panels]]
name = "Launching"
content = '''
Launching a Rocket application is the funnest part! For Rocket to begin
dispatching requests to routes, the routes need to be _mounted_. After mounting,
the application needs to be _launched_. These two steps, usually done in `main`,
look like:
```rust
rocket::ignite()
.mount("/base", routes![index, another])
.launch();
```
The `mount` call takes a base path and a set of routes via the `routes!` macro.
The base path (`/base` above) is prepended to the path of every route in the
list. This effectively namespaces the routes, allowing for easier composition.
The `launch` call starts the server. In development, Rocket prints useful
information to the console to let you know everything is okay.
```sh
🚀 Rocket has launched from http://localhost:8000
```

# Steps to "How Rocket Works"
###############################################################################
[[steps]]
name = "Validation"
color = "blue"
content = '''
First, Rocket validates a matching request by ensuring that all of the types in
a given handler can be derived from the incoming request. If the types cannot be
derived, the request is forwarded to the next matching route until a routes
types validate or there are no more routes to try. If all routes fail, a
customizable **404** error is returned.
```rust
#[post("/user", data = "<new_user>")]
fn new_user(admin: AdminUser, new_user: Form<User>) -> T {
...
}
```
For the `new_user` handler above to be called, the following conditions must
hold:
* The request method must be `POST`.
* The request path must be `/user`.
* The request must contain `data` in its body.
* The request metadata must authenticate an `AdminUser`.
* The request body must be a form that parses into a `User` struct.
'''
[[steps]]
name = "Processing"
color = "purple"
content = '''
Next, the request is processed by an arbitrary handler. This is where most of
the business logic in an application resides, and the part of your applications
youll likely spend the most time writing. In Rocket, handlers are simply
functions - thats it! The only caveat is that the functions return type must
implement the `Responder` trait. The `new_user` function above is an example of
a handler.
'''
[[steps]]
name = "Response"
color = "red"
content = '''
Finally, Rocket responds to the client by transforming the return value of the
handler into an HTTP response. The HTTP response generated from the returned
value depends on the types specific `Responder` trait implementation.
```rust
fn route() -> T { ... }
```
If the function above is used as a handler, for instance, then the type `T` must
implement `Responder`. Rocket provides many useful responder types out of the
box. They include:
* `Json<T>`: Serializes the structure T into JSON and returns it to
the client.
* `Template`: Renders a template file and returns it to the client.
* `Redirect`: Returns a properly formatted HTTP redirect.
* `NamedFile`: Streams a given file to the client with the
Content-Type taken from the files extension.
* `Stream`: Streams data to the client from an arbitrary `Read` value.
* Many Primitive Types: `String`, `&str`, `File`, `Option`, `Result`, and
others all implement the `Responder` trait.
