# HTTPure Basics
|
|
|
|
This guide is a brief overview of the basics of creating a HTTPure server.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a Server
|
|
|
|
To create a server, use `HTTPure.serve` (no SSL) or `HTTPure.serve'` (SSL). Both
|
|
of these functions take a port number, a router function, and an `Eff` that will
|
|
run once the server has booted. The signature of the router function is:
|
|
|
|
```purescript
|
|
forall e. HTTPure.Request -> HTTPure.ResponseM e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more details on routing, see the [Routing guide](./Routing.md). For more
|
|
details on responses, see the [Responses guide](./Responses.md). The router can
|
|
be composed with middleware; for more details, see the [Middleware
|
|
guide](./Middleware.md).
|
|
|
|
## Non-SSL
|
|
|
|
You can create an HTTPure server without SSL using `HTTPure.serve`:
|
|
|
|
```purescript
|
|
main = HTTPure.serve 8080 router $ Console.log "Server up"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Most of the [examples](./Examples), besides [the SSL Example](./Examples/SSL),
|
|
use this method to create the server.
|
|
|
|
## SSL
|
|
|
|
You can create an SSL-enabled HTTPure server using `HTTPure.serve'`, which has
|
|
the same signature as `HTTPure.serve` except that it additionally takes a path
|
|
to a cert file and a path to a key file after the port number:
|
|
|
|
```purescript
|
|
main =
|
|
HTTPure.serve 8080 "./Certificate.cer" "./Key.key" router $
|
|
Console.log "Server up"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can look at [the SSL Example](./Examples/SSL/Main.purs), which uses this
|
|
method to create the server.
