Overview of this book

D is a programming language with C-like syntax and static typing. The vibe.d framework builds on powerful D concepts like template meta-programming and compile-time function execution to provide an easy-to-use environment for web applications. The combination of a feature-rich web programming framework with a language compiling to native code solves two common issues in web development today: it accelerates your development and it results in fast, native web applications. Learning the vibe.d framework before you start your application will help you to choose the right features to reach your goal. This book guides you through all aspects of web development with D and the vibe.d framework. Covering the popular operating systems today, this guide starts with the setup of your development system. From the first Hello World-style application you will move on to building static web pages with templates. The concise treatment of web forms will give you all the details about form handling and web security. Using the abstractions of the web framework you will learn how to easily validate user input. Next, you will add database access to your application, providing persistent storage for your data. Building on this foundation, you will expose your component and integrate other components via REST. Learning about the internals of vibe.d you will be able to use low-level techniques such as raw TCP access. The vibe.d concepts can also be used for GUI clients, which is the next topic that you will learn. vibe.d is supported by an active community, which adds new functionality. This comprehensive guide concludes with an overview of the most useful vibe.d extensions and where to find them. It also shows you how to integrate these extensions in your application. The concepts are always illustrated with source code, giving you an insight into how to apply them in your application.

Tailoring the generated REST API


REST is really a tool for service integration. To match the requirements of an existing service, you need control of several parameters such as the path, HTTP method, or header parameters.

Changing the generated path

As in the case of a web application, the URL path and HTTP method is derived from the function to be called.

A @property method uses the HTTP GET method to read the property and PUT to write the property. The HTTP method of all the other methods is derived from the prefix of the method name:

Prefix

HTTP method

get

GET

query

GET

set

PUT

put

PUT

update

PATCH

patch

PATCH

add

POST

create

POST

post

POST

remove

DELETE

erase

DELETE

delete

DELETE

The default HTTP POST method is used if the method is neither an @property method nor a method that can be derived from the preceding table. You can set the HTTP method with the @method annotation:

@method(HTTPMethod.GET)
