shelf

Shelf interop with Angel. Will be deprecated by v2.0.0.

By version 2 of Angel, I will migrate the server to run on top of shelf. Until then, use the code in this repo to embed existing shelf apps into your Angel applications.

This will make it easy to layer your API over a production application, rather than having to port code.

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:angel_framework/angel_framework.dart';
import 'package:angel_shelf/angel_shelf.dart';
import 'package:shelf/shelf.dart' as shelf;
import 'api/api.dart';

main() async {
  final app = new Angel();
  
  // Angel routes on top
  await app.configure(new ApiController());
  
  // Re-route all other traffic to an
  // existing shelf/Redstone application.
  app.after.add(embedShelf(
    new shelf.Pipeline()
      .addMiddleware(shelf.logRequests())
      .addHandler(_echoRequest)
  ));
  
  await app.startServer(InternetAddress.LOOPBACK_IP_V4, 3000);
}
