show([io::IO = stdout], x)
Write a text representation of a value x to the output stream io. New types T should overload show(io::IO, x::T). The representation used by show generally includes Julia-specific formatting and type information, and should be parseable Julia code when possible.
repr returns the output of show as a string.
For a more verbose human-readable text output for objects of type T, define show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", ::T) in addition. Checking the :compact IOContext key (often checked as get(io, :compact, false)::Bool) of io in such methods is recommended, since some containers show their elements by calling this method with :compact => true.
See also print, which writes un-decorated representations.
Examples
julia> show("Hello World!")
"Hello World!"
julia> print("Hello World!")
Hello World!
show(io::IO, mime, x)
The display functions ultimately call show in order to write an object x as a given mime type to a given I/O stream io (usually a memory buffer), if possible. In order to provide a rich multimedia representation of a user-defined type T, it is only necessary to define a new show method for T, via: show(io, ::MIME"mime", x::T) = ..., where mime is a MIME-type string and the function body calls write (or similar) to write that representation of x to io. (Note that the MIME"" notation only supports literal strings; to construct MIME types in a more flexible manner use MIME{Symbol("")}.)
For example, if you define a MyImage type and know how to write it to a PNG file, you could define a function show(io, ::MIME"image/png", x::MyImage) = ... to allow your images to be displayed on any PNG-capable AbstractDisplay (such as IJulia). As usual, be sure to import Base.show in order to add new methods to the built-in Julia function show.
Technically, the MIME"mime" macro defines a singleton type for the given mime string, which allows us to exploit Julia's dispatch mechanisms in determining how to display objects of any given type.
The default MIME type is MIME"text/plain". There is a fallback definition for text/plain output that calls show with 2 arguments, so it is not always necessary to add a method for that case. If a type benefits from custom human-readable output though, show(::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", ::T) should be defined. For example, the Day type uses 1 day as the output for the text/plain MIME type, and Day(1) as the output of 2-argument show.
Examples
julia> struct Day
n::Int
end
julia> Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", d::Day) = print(io, d.n, " day")
julia> Day(1)
1 day
Container types generally implement 3-argument show by calling show(io, MIME"text/plain"(), x) for elements x, with :compact => true set in an IOContext passed as the first argument.
Base.show(io::IO, ex::RuntimeException)
Custom printing of RuntimeException
Base.show(io::IO, ex::FileExistsException)
Custom printing for FileExistsException
mutable struct Params{T}
Collection of key value pairs representing the parameters of the current request - response cycle.
route_request(req::Request, res::Response) :: Response
First step in handling a request: sets up params collection, handles query vars, negotiates content.
route_ws_request(req::Request, msg::String, ws_client::HTTP.WebSockets.WebSocket) :: String
First step in handling a web socket request: sets up params collection, handles query vars.
push!(collection, items...) -> collection
Insert one or more items in collection. If collection is an ordered container, the items are inserted at the end (in the given order).
Examples
julia> push!([1, 2, 3], 4, 5, 6)
6-element Vector{Int64}:
1
2
3
4
5
6
If collection is ordered, use append! to add all the elements of another collection to it. The result of the preceding example is equivalent to append!([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]). For AbstractSet objects, union! can be used instead.
See sizehint! for notes about the performance model.
See also pushfirst!.
baptizer(params::Union{Route,Channel}, parts::Vector{String}) :: Symbol
Generates default names for routes and channels.
delete!(route_name::Symbol)

action_controller_params(action::Function, params::Params) :: Nothing
Sets up the params collection.
match_routes(req::Request, res::Response, params::Params) :: Union{Route,Nothing}

Matches the invoked URL to the corresponding channel, sets up the execution environment and invokes the channel controller method.
parse_route(route::String, context::Module = @__MODULE__) :: Tuple{String,Vector{String},Vector{Any}}
Parses a route and extracts its named params and types. context is used to access optional route parts types.
