Documentation - Studio182/StudioHTTPd GitHub Wiki

Please note: These are very early docs on a very beta project. Please be patient. Look on the next page for information on how to contact the app developers.

For setting the server up, do this:

1. On your AppDelegate header, #import "StudioHTTPd.h" file and add the delegate StudioHTTPdDelegate.

2. On the implementation #import "StudioHTTPd.h" too, and in the place where you'd like to launch the server, write this:

    StudioHTTPd *httpd = [[StudioHTTPd alloc] initWithPort:40182];
    [httpd setDelegate:self];
    [httpd startServer];
   

3. Add the delegate call:

    -(void)writeToLog:(NSString*)data {
     	NSLog(@"%@", data);
     	//The server log
    }
   

4. And you're set with the basic server! Was easy, huh?

The StudioHTTPd Templating system is inspired by the templating systems similar to Ruby and Rails.

This means that there are two parts to a webpage. A processing script and a template.

To create a processing script you need to go to the WebClass.m file.

To create a new action. Make an entry like this.

+(id)helloworld:(NSDictionary*)args {
//Initilize Variable Array

NSMutableDictionary *variables = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:args];

// Begin Coding


[variables setObject:@"Studio 182" forKey:@"name"];


// End Coding

// Return Templatized


//Please note that we used helloworld as the templatize variable. This means we are using a template with the name "helloworld"
return [templatizer templatize:@"helloworld" variables:variables];
}

This will create an action named helloworld.

Lets take a look at each line and what it does.

NSMutableDictionary *variables = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:args];

This sets up a NSMutableDictionary. The point of this line is to make a variable that you can add data to.

[variables setObject:@"Studio 182" forKey:@"name"];

This sets a variable to be used later in the template.

return [templatizer templatize:@"helloworld" variables:variables];

This returns the response information back to the server. If you wanted to return data instead of a template you could just have

return @"returned data";

To access GET variable from code it's as simple as typing

 NSString *getVAR = [args objectForKey:@"GET_VARIABLE_NAME"];

The templating system is very easy to use in Studio 182. All you have to do is create a file in templates directory.

Above we called for a template named helloworld. You are going to want to create a file named "helloworld.html"

Inside put

Simple GET Variable: ##GET['namevar']##
  
Simple Code Variable: ##@['name']##
