Example 1

The following code is a simple example of preparing Xavante to virtual host:

-- $SYSCONFDIR/kepler/1.1/xavante/config.lua

require "xavante.filehandler"
require "xavante.redirecthandler"

local function makerules(webDir)
    return {
        { -- URI remapping example
            match = "^[^%./]*/$",
            with = xavante.redirecthandler,
            params = {"index.html"}
        }, 

        { -- wsapihandler example
            match = {"%.lua$", "%.lua/" },
            with = wsapi.xavante.makeGenericHandler (webDir, launcher_params)
        },

        { -- wsapihandler example
            match = {"%.ws$", "%.ws/" },
            with = wsapi.xavante.makeGenericHandler (webDir, launcher_params)
        },

        { -- filehandler example
            match = ".",
            with = xavante.filehandler,
            params = { baseDir = webDir }
        },

    }
end

-- Displays a message in the console with the used ports
xavante.start_message(function (ports)
    local date = os.date "[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]"
    print(
        ("%s Xavante started on port(s) %s"):format(
            date,
            table.concat(ports, ", ")
        )
    )
end)

xavante.HTTP {
    server = { host = "*", port = 8080 },

    defaultHost = {
        rules = makerules(XAVANTE_WEB)
    },

    --virtualhosts = {
    --    ["www.client1.com"] = { rules = makerules "/home/client1" },
    --    ["www.client2.com"] = { rules = makerules "/home/client2" },
    --    ["www.client3.com"] = { rules = makerules "/home/client3" },
    --},
}

Example 2

This example adds a CGILua 5.1.3 handler to the rules table:

-- $SYSCONFDIR/kepler/1.1/xavante/config.lua

local function custom_sapi_loader(wsapi_env)
       wsapi.common.normalize_paths(wsapi_env)

       _G.CGILUA_ISDIRECT = true
       _G.CGILUA_CONF = "."
       _G.CGILUA_TMP = "."

       local app = require "wsapi.sapi"
       local status, headers, iterator = app.run(wsapi_env)
       -- this is necessary to reload CGILua packages and wsapi.sapi since
       -- it has way too much dependency on the global environment
       package.loaded["cgilua"] = nil
       cgilua.SAPI = nil
       package.loaded["wsapi.sapi"] = nil

       return status, headers, iterator
end

local function makerules(webDir)
    return {

        { -- URI remapping example
           match = "^[^%./]*/$",
           with = xavante.redirecthandler,
           params = {"index.lp"},
        },

        { -- Lua Pages example
           match = "%.lp$",
           with = wsapi.xavante.makeHandler(custom_sapi_loader, nil, webdir, webdir),
        },

        { -- filehandler example
            match = ".",
            with = xavante.filehandler,
            params = { baseDir = webDir }
        },

    }
end
