SZA (Simple Zia Api)

Hi and welcome to this minimalist API. The point of this API is to restrict in no way your conception or design choices.

By giving a simple Module interface, we believe that every group will be able to build its own Zia and not just the Zia that our API requires you to create.

Dependencies

• C++ 17

How to build

Simply clone this repository and include the .h files in the api folder.

What does SZA do :

It introduces four header files, each commented to show explicit usage :

- conf.h

Conf is a simple map used to configure your module, it is inspired by the JSON format. By making ConfValue a std::variant we allow users to choose themselves how they want to configure their module.

- net.h

Contains :

• The NetInfo struct and its components, used to provide infos on the client
• The Net Interface for multithreaded network abstraction

- http.h

Contains :

• The HttpMessage struct, it contains the version, the headers and the packets

• The HttpRequest struct, it inherits from HttpMessage and adds a Method enum class and an Uri as a String

• The HttpResponse struct, it inherits from HttpMessage and adds a Status enum class

• The HttpDuplex struct, it contains :

  1. A NetInfo struct,
  2. A packets vector for req and another for resp
  3. An HttpRequest struct and an HttpResponse struct. This struct is the core of our API and should be the one used during the entire processing of the request.

- module.h

Module is the interface to use for your module, it contains two method :

• config, it takes a const Conf& and is used to configure your module depending on the state of your Conf
• exec, it takes an HttpDuplex and should be the method that applies your module to the current HttpDuplex

How to use it :

After loading your modules, just simply use something like :

moduleReceive.config(conf);
moduleTreatRequest.config(conf);
moduleSend.config(conf);
for each request :
	HttpDuplex http;
	moduleReceive.exec(http);
	moduleTreatRequest.exec(http);
	moduleSend.exec(http);

Absolutely no need for any complicated conception when you can just use SZA.
