Adapters

GenHTTP is both a web server and a web application development framework. Adapters allow to re-use the functionality of the GenHTTP modules in other server frameworks such as ASP.NET Core.

ASP.NET Core

This adapter allows to plug in any GenHTTP handler into an existing ASP.NET Core application. The following example will use the listing module to render a graphical file listing when accessing http://localhost:5000/files/ in the browser.

using GenHTTP.Adapters.AspNetCore;

using GenHTTP.Modules.DirectoryBrowsing;
using GenHTTP.Modules.IO;

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();

var app = builder.Build();

var listing = Listing.From(ResourceTree.FromDirectory("."))
                     .Defaults();

app.Map("/files", listing);

await app.RunAsync();

You can use this functionality with any of the handlers and concerns provided by GenHTTP. The Default() method will add some comfort features such as automatic response compression, client caching policies, range support and a default error handler.
