Type-Level Routing

The Trout package provides type-level routing. Its API, inspired heavily by the Haskell library Servant, lets us express web application routing at the type-level using routing types.

By using routing types we get static guarantees about having handled all cases and having correctly serializing and deserializing data. We also get a lot of stuff for free, such as type-safe parameters for handlers, generated type-safe URIs to endpoints, and generated clients and servers.

Packages

The following packages are available for type-level routing with Hyper:

Trout

Provides the core types used in routing types. It does not depend on Hyper, and can be used for other libraries and frameworks, theoretically.

Hypertrout

Used to create routers based on routing types, which are Hyper middleware. It can be seen as the equivalent of servant-server.

Trout Client

Derive client-side accessor functions for doing AJAX requests, based on Trout routing types. Use this together with Hypertrout to get an all-PureScript project, with safe routing between client and server.
