We work for ’s and ’s … please Star our repo

Hey there!
Please note: This project is still in Alpha Version and we’re actively working on forking over a lot of nifty features from SwiftEngine to make it compatible with SwiftNIO. We appreciate any contributors or testers joining our project!

Features

Swift on Back-End - Improve productivity by using the modern Swift language for all your app’s development needs (learn more)
Hot Code Reload - Increase the speed of your endpoints as each file is individually compiled. If a file has not been modified since it was last used, it won’t need to be recompiled (learn more)
Automated Routing Logic - Avoid writing custom routers; SwiftEngine will automagically route each request to the desired file (learn more)
Uptime Resiliency - Reduce risk by leveraging a fail-safe and high-availability operating environment where each client requests functions independently (learn more)
Easy web based run-time error analysis - Save time by not having to dig through shell dumps; SwiftEngine displays the full error trace on your browser for easy debugging (learn more)

Getting Started 💥

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

What are the dependencies we need to get this to work?

OS	Version
macOS	10.13+
Ubuntu	14.04, 16.04, 16.10

Getting started with the project

Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/swiftengine/SwiftEngine.git
cd to SwiftEngine directory and run sudo ./install.sh
Run ./run.sh This should start the server running and listening on port 8887

Using

Programming your site:

Create a new mypage.swift file within the /var/swiftengine/www/ directory (see example below)
From the browser, enter the following url http://<machine_ip>:8887/mypage (by default this is localhost:8887)

That’s it! No compilation or dealing with shell dumps required! Your requested endpoints will be automagically compiled during the first request, and results will be shown.

Any swift file you place in /var/swiftengine/www will be accessible through the browser without the .swift extension. Read more about SwiftEngine’s autonomous system and routing logic (here)

Example of a SwiftEngine based `.swift` file

// Import SwiftEngine essentials
import SwiftEngine


// specify other required files for this file
//se: require /common.swift

// Entry Point function; where all code begins
func entryPoint(ctx: RequestContext) {

    // add GET handlers to the request context
    ctx.addHandler(forMethod:"GET", withRoute:"*"){
        req, res in
        res.write("Hello from SwiftEngine!")
    }

    // add POST handlers to the request context
    ctx.addHandler(forMethod:"POST", withRoute:"*"){
        req, res in
        res.write("Handle for POST request method")
    }

    // add catch-all handlers to the request context
    ctx.addHandler(forMethod:"*", withRoute:"*"){
        req, res in
        res.write("Handle for catch-all")
    }

}
