{-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeSynonymInstances #-} {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-} -- | Representations of data. A representation is basically how you display -- information in a certain mime-type. For example, tree-style data can easily -- be displayed as both JSON and Yaml. -- -- To save programmers\' fingers, the name of this module and all data types -- and classes replaces the full word Representation with Rep. -- -- This concept is core to a RESTful framework. For example, if a user goes to -- /movies/star-wars/, they'll want a HTML page describing the Star Wars movie. -- However, if you've written an Ajax front-end, they might want than -- information in XML or JSON format. There could also be another web service -- that requests this information in a binary format to save on bandwidth. -- -- Since the vast majority of information that is dealt with in web -- applications can be easily displayed using an 'Object', that is probably -- your best bet on internal data format to use. If you need HTML escaping, -- then specifically an 'HtmlObject' will be even better. -- -- By the way, I said above that the vast majority of information can be -- contained in an 'Object' easily. The key word here is \"easily\"; in fact, -- all data can be contained in an 'Object'; however, some of it requires more -- effort. module Yesod.Rep ( ContentType (..) , Content , Rep , Reps , HasReps (..) , chooseRep -- FIXME TemplateFile or some such... #if TEST , testSuite #endif ) where import Data.ByteString.Lazy (ByteString) import Data.Text.Lazy (Text) import Control.Applicative #if TEST import Data.Object.Html hiding (testSuite) #else import Data.Object.Html #endif import Data.Object.Json import Data.Convertible.Text #if TEST import Test.Framework (testGroup, Test) import Test.Framework.Providers.HUnit import Test.HUnit hiding (Test) #endif data ContentType = TypeHtml | TypeJson | TypeOther String deriving Eq instance Show ContentType where show TypeHtml = "text/html" show TypeJson = "application/json" show (TypeOther s) = s newtype Content = Content ByteString deriving (Eq, Show) instance ConvertSuccess Text Content where convertSuccess = Content . cs instance ConvertSuccess ByteString Content where convertSuccess = Content type Rep a = (ContentType, a -> Content) type Reps a = [Rep a] -- | Any type which can be converted to representations.
