# Mongoose Embedding Guide
|
|
|
|
Embedding Mongoose is done in two steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Copy
|
|
[mongoose.c](https://raw.github.com/cesanta/mongoose/master/mongoose.c) and
|
|
[mongoose.h](https://raw.github.com/cesanta/mongoose/master/mongoose.h)
|
|
to your application's source tree and include these two files in the build.
|
|
2. Somewhere in the application code, call `mg_create_server()` to create
|
|
a server, configure it with `mg_set_option()` and loop with
|
|
`mg_poll_server()` until done. Call `mg_destroy_server()` to cleanup.
|
|
|
|
Here's a minimal application `app.c` that embeds mongoose:
|
|
|
|
#include "mongoose.h"
|
|
int main(void) {
|
|
struct mg_server *server = mg_create_server(NULL);
|
|
mg_set_option(server, "document_root", ".");
|
|
mg_set_option(server, "listening_port", "8080");
|
|
for (;;) mg_poll_server(server, 1000); // Infinite loop, Ctrl-C to stop
|
|
mg_destroy_server(&server);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
To compile it, put `mongoose.c`, `mongoose.h` and `minimal.c` into one
|
|
folder, then run the following UNIX command:
|
|
|
|
cc app.c mongoose.c -o app
|
|
|
|
If you're on Windows, run this in a Visual Studio shell:
|
|
|
|
cl app.c mongoose.c /TC /MD
|
|
|
|
When run, this simple application opens port 8080 and serves static files,
|
|
CGI files and lists directory content in the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
Mongoose can call user-defined functions when certain URIs are requested.
|
|
These functions are _called uri handlers_. `mg_add_uri_handler()` registers
|
|
an URI handler, and there is no restriction exist on the number of URI handlers.
|
|
Also, mongoose can call a user-defined function when it is about to send
|
|
HTTP error back to client. That function is called _http error handler_ and
|
|
can be registered by `mg_set_http_error_handler()`. Handlers are called
|
|
by Mongoose with `struct mg_connection *` pointer as a parameter, which
|
|
has all information about the request: HTTP headers, POST or websocket
|
|
data buffer, etcetera.
|
|
|
|
Let's extend our minimal application example and
|
|
create an URI that will be served by user's C code. The app will handle
|
|
`/hello` URI by showing a hello message. So, when app is run,
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8080/hello will say hello, and here's the code:
|
|
|
|
#include <string.h>
|
|
#include "mongoose.h"
|
|
|
|
static int handle_hello(struct mg_connection *conn) {
|
|
static const char *reply = "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\nHello world!\n";
|
|
mg_write(conn, reply, strlen(reply));
|
|
return 1;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
int main(void) {
|
|
struct mg_server *server = mg_create_server(NULL);
|
|
mg_set_option(server, "document_root", ".");
|
|
mg_set_option(server, "listening_port", "8080");
|
|
mg_add_uri_handler(server, "/hello", &handle_hello);
|
|
for (;;) mg_poll_server(server, 1000); // Infinite loop, Ctrl-C to stop
|
|
mg_destroy_server(&server);
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that URI handler must output valid HTTP response, which includes
|
|
the reply line with status code `HTTP/1.0 200 OK`, HTTP headers which are
|
|
empty in our example, and message body `Hello world!\n`. Note that reply
|
|
line is ended with `\r\n`, and HTTP headers are also ended with `\r\n`.
|
|
|
|
Mongoose source code contains a well-commented example code, listed below:
|
|
|
|
* [hello.c](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/examples/hello.c)
|
|
shows how to handle form input, file upload, websocket communication, get
|
|
cookie values.
|
|
<!--
|
|
* [chat](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/examples/chat)
|
|
implements basic online chat functionality using Lua scripting capabilities
|
|
of Mongoose. Not a single line of C is written for that example.
|
|
Demostrates usage of database, cookie-based authentication, session
|
|
support, RESTful interface. No additional software is required to run it
|
|
on any platform.
