This library was forked from http://stefanfrings.de/qtwebapp/index-en.html
QtWebApp is a library to develop server-side web applications in C++. It depends on Qt5, minimum required version is 5.5.
The library comes with 3 components:
- HttpServer
- TemplateEngine
- Logging
This short example demonstrates how to use the library:
class DefaultRequestHandler : public HttpRequestHandler
{
public:
void service(HttpRequest &request, HttpResponse &response);
}
void DefaultRequestHandler::service(HttpRequest &request, HttpResponse &response)
{
response.write("<html><body><h1>" + request.getPath() + "</h1></body></html>");
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
QSettings *config = new QSettings;
// ...
new HttpListener(config, new DefaultRequestHandler);
return app.exec();
}You can the compile it using cmake, like this:
# ...
find_package(QtWebApp REQUIRED COMPONENTS HttpServer)
add_executable(thinkofabettername main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(thinkofabettername ${QtWebApp_LIBRARIES})
# ...QtWebApp uses CMake as the build system. To compile, simply run:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j4
sudo make install
