  • It's a confusing and not very explanatory guide, very concise and technical.

• Exercises .

  • Primeagen solving the exercises (pt1)  / (pt2)  / (pt3) .

  • It's an okay place to test some things, but many times I felt lazy to do the exercise, because the statement is looong and Dora the Explorer style, while other times it's not exactly clear what should be done, or why that was done, or what other options exist.

Style Guidelines

• snake_case

  • variables.

  • namespace.

• camelCase

  • functions.

• PascalCase

  • types.

Examples

HTTP Requests Example

const std = @import("std");
const http = @import("zig-http/http");

pub fn main() !void {
    const allocator = std.heap.page_allocator;

    // Create the HTTP server
    var server = try http.Server.init(allocator, "0.0.0.0", 8080, handler);

    std.debug.print("Server running at http://localhost:8080\n", .{});

    // Start the server
    try server.listen();
}

// Function that handles HTTP requests
fn handler(req: *http.Request, res: *http.Response) !void {
    // Process only GET requests
    if (req.method != .Get) {
        res.status = .MethodNotAllowed;
        try res.send("Method not allowed");
        return;
    }

    // Get the "name" parameter from the URL
    const name = req.getQueryParam("name") orelse "world";

    // Create the response message
    const message = try std.fmt.allocPrint(std.heap.page_allocator, "Hello, {}!", .{name});

    // Set status and response body
    res.status = .Ok;
    try res.send(message);

    // Free the memory allocated for the message
    std.heap.page_allocator.free(message);
}
