Web Server Quickstart
=====================
.. currentmodule:: aiohttp.web
Run a Simple Web Server
-----------------------
In order to implement a web server, first create a
:ref:`request handler <aiohttp-web-handler>`.
A request handler must be a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>` that
accepts a :class:`Request` instance as its only parameter and returns a
:class:`Response` instance::
from aiohttp import web
async def hello(request):
return web.Response(text="Hello, world")
Next, create an :class:`Application` instance and register the
request handler on a particular *HTTP method* and *path*::
app = web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.get('/', hello)])
After that, run the application by :func:`run_app` call::
web.run_app(app)
That's it. Now, head over to ``http://localhost:8080/`` to see the results.
Alternatively if you prefer *route decorators* create a *route table*
and register a :term:`web-handler`::
routes = web.RouteTableDef()
@routes.get('/')
async def hello(request):
return web.Response(text="Hello, world")
app = web.Application()
app.add_routes(routes)
web.run_app(app)
Both ways essentially do the same work, the difference is only in your
taste: do you prefer *Django style* with famous ``urls.py`` or *Flask*
with shiny route decorators.
*aiohttp* server documentation uses both ways in code snippets to
emphasize their equality, switching from one style to another is very
trivial.
.. seealso::
:ref:`aiohttp-web-graceful-shutdown` section explains what :func:`run_app`
does and how to implement complex server initialization/finalization
from scratch.
:ref:`aiohttp-web-app-runners` for more handling more complex cases
like *asynchronous* web application serving and multiple hosts
support.
.. _aiohttp-web-cli:
Command Line Interface (CLI)
----------------------------
:mod:`aiohttp.web` implements a basic CLI for quickly serving an
:class:`Application` in *development* over TCP/IP:
.. code-block:: shell
$ python -m aiohttp.web -H localhost -P 8080 package.module:init_func
``package.module:init_func`` should be an importable :term:`callable` that
accepts a list of any non-parsed command-line arguments and returns an
:class:`Application` instance after setting it up::
def init_func(argv):
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_get("/", index_handler)
return app
.. _aiohttp-web-handler:
Handler
-------
A request handler must be a :ref:`coroutine<coroutine>` that accepts a
:class:`Request` instance as its only argument and returns a
:class:`StreamResponse` derived (e.g. :class:`Response`) instance::
async def handler(request):
return web.Response()
Handlers are setup to handle requests by registering them with the
:meth:`Application.add_routes` on a particular route (*HTTP method* and
*path* pair) using helpers like :func:`get` and
:func:`post`::
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handler),
web.post('/post', post_handler),
web.put('/put', put_handler)])
Or use *route decorators*::
routes = web.RouteTableDef()
@routes.get('/')
async def get_handler(request):
...
@routes.post('/post')
async def post_handler(request):
...
@routes.put('/put')
async def put_handler(request):
...
app.add_routes(routes)
Wildcard *HTTP method* is also supported by :func:`route` or
:meth:`RouteTableDef.route`, allowing a handler to serve incoming
requests on a *path* having **any** *HTTP method*::
app.add_routes([web.route('*', '/path', all_handler)])
The *HTTP method* can be queried later in the request handler using the
:attr:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.method` property.
By default endpoints added with ``GET`` method will accept
``HEAD`` requests and return the same response headers as they would
for a ``GET`` request. You can also deny ``HEAD`` requests on a route::
web.get('/', handler, allow_head=False)
Here ``handler`` won't be called on ``HEAD`` request and the server
will respond with ``405: Method Not Allowed``.
.. seealso::
:ref:`aiohttp-web-peer-disconnection` section explains how handlers
behave when a client connection drops and ways to optimize handling
of this.
.. _aiohttp-web-resource-and-route:
Resources and Routes
--------------------
Internally routes are served by :attr:`Application.router`
(:class:`UrlDispatcher` instance).
The *router* is a list of *resources*.
Resource is an entry in *route table* which corresponds to requested URL.
Resource in turn has at least one *route*.
Route corresponds to handling *HTTP method* by calling *web handler*.
Thus when you add a *route* the *resource* object is created under the hood.
The library implementation **merges** all subsequent route additions
for the same path adding the only resource for all HTTP methods.
Consider two examples::
app.add_routes([web.get('/path1', get_1),
web.post('/path1', post_1),
web.get('/path2', get_2),
web.post('/path2', post_2)]
and::
app.add_routes([web.get('/path1', get_1),
web.get('/path2', get_2),
web.post('/path2', post_2),
web.post('/path1', post_1)]
First one is *optimized*. You have got the idea.
.. _aiohttp-web-variable-handler:
Variable Resources
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Resource may have *variable path* also. For instance, a resource with
the path ``'/a/{name}/c'`` would match all incoming requests with
paths such as ``'/a/b/c'``, ``'/a/1/c'``, and ``'/a/etc/c'``.
A variable *part* is specified in the form ``{identifier}``, where the
``identifier`` can be used later in a
:ref:`request handler <aiohttp-web-handler>` to access the matched value for
that *part*. This is done by looking up the ``identifier`` in the
:attr:`Request.match_info` mapping::
@routes.get('/{name}')
async def variable_handler(request):
return web.Response(
text="Hello, {}".format(request.match_info['name']))
By default, each *part* matches the regular expression ``[^{}/]+``.
You can also specify a custom regex in the form ``{identifier:regex}``::
web.get(r'/{name:\d+}', handler)
.. _aiohttp-web-named-routes:
Reverse URL Constructing using Named Resources
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Routes can also be given a *name*::
@routes.get('/root', name='root')
async def handler(request):
...
Which can then be used to access and build a *URL* for that resource later (e.g.
in a :ref:`request handler <aiohttp-web-handler>`)::
url = request.app.router['root'].url_for().with_query({"a": "b", "c": "d"})
assert url == URL('/root?a=b&c=d')
A more interesting example is building *URLs* for :ref:`variable
resources <aiohttp-web-variable-handler>`::
app.router.add_resource(r'/{user}/info', name='user-info')
In this case you can also pass in the *parts* of the route::
url = request.app.router['user-info'].url_for(user='john_doe')
url_with_qs = url.with_query("a=b")
assert url_with_qs == '/john_doe/info?a=b'
Organizing Handlers in Classes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As discussed above, :ref:`handlers <aiohttp-web-handler>` can be first-class
coroutines::
async def hello(request):
return web.Response(text="Hello, world")
app.router.add_get('/', hello)
But sometimes it's convenient to group logically similar handlers into a Python
*class*.
Since :mod:`aiohttp.web` does not dictate any implementation details,
application developers can organize handlers in classes if they so wish::
class Handler:
def __init__(self):
pass
async def handle_intro(self, request):
return web.Response(text="Hello, world")
async def handle_greeting(self, request):
name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
txt = "Hello, {}".format(name)
return web.Response(text=txt)
handler = Handler()
app.add_routes([web.get('/intro', handler.handle_intro),
web.get('/greet/{name}', handler.handle_greeting)])
.. _aiohttp-web-class-based-views:
Class Based Views
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:mod:`aiohttp.web` has support for *class based views*.
You can derive from :class:`View` and define methods for handling http
requests::
class MyView(web.View):
async def get(self):
return await get_resp(self.request)
async def post(self):
return await post_resp(self.request)
Handlers should be coroutines accepting *self* only and returning
response object as regular :term:`web-handler`. Request object can be
retrieved by :attr:`View.request` property.
After implementing the view (``MyView`` from example above) should be
registered in application's router::
web.view('/path/to', MyView)
or::
@routes.view('/path/to')
class MyView(web.View):
...
Example will process GET and POST requests for */path/to* but raise
*405 Method not allowed* exception for unimplemented HTTP methods.
Resource Views
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*All* registered resources in a router can be viewed using the
:meth:`UrlDispatcher.resources` method::
for resource in app.router.resources():
print(resource)
A *subset* of the resources that were registered with a *name* can be
viewed using the :meth:`UrlDispatcher.named_resources` method::
for name, resource in app.router.named_resources().items():
print(name, resource)
.. _aiohttp-web-alternative-routes-definition:
Alternative ways for registering routes
---------------------------------------
Code examples shown above use *imperative* style for adding new
routes: they call ``app.router.add_get(...)`` etc.
There are two alternatives: route tables and route decorators.
Route tables look like Django way::
async def handle_get(request):
...
async def handle_post(request):
...
app.router.add_routes([web.get('/get', handle_get),
web.post('/post', handle_post),
The snippet calls :meth:`~aiohttp.web.UrlDispatcher.add_routes` to
register a list of *route definitions* (:class:`aiohttp.web.RouteDef`
instances) created by :func:`aiohttp.web.get` or
:func:`aiohttp.web.post` functions.
.. seealso:: :ref:`aiohttp-web-route-def` reference.
Route decorators are closer to Flask approach::
routes = web.RouteTableDef()
@routes.get('/get')
async def handle_get(request):
...
@routes.post('/post')
async def handle_post(request):
...
app.router.add_routes(routes)
It is also possible to use decorators with class-based views::
routes = web.RouteTableDef()
@routes.view("/view")
class MyView(web.View):
async def get(self):
...
async def post(self):
...
app.router.add_routes(routes)
The example creates a :class:`aiohttp.web.RouteTableDef` container first.
The container is a list-like object with additional decorators
:meth:`aiohttp.web.RouteTableDef.get`,
:meth:`aiohttp.web.RouteTableDef.post` etc. for registering new
routes.
After filling the container
:meth:`~aiohttp.web.UrlDispatcher.add_routes` is used for adding
registered *route definitions* into application's router.
.. seealso:: :ref:`aiohttp-web-route-table-def` reference.
All tree ways (imperative calls, route tables and decorators) are
equivalent, you could use what do you prefer or even mix them on your
own.
.. versionadded:: 2.3
JSON Response
-------------
It is a common case to return JSON data in response, :mod:`aiohttp.web`
provides a shortcut for returning JSON -- :func:`aiohttp.web.json_response`::
async def handler(request):
data = {'some': 'data'}
return web.json_response(data)
The shortcut method returns :class:`aiohttp.web.Response` instance
so you can for example set cookies before returning it from handler.
User Sessions
-------------
Often you need a container for storing user data across requests. The concept
is usually called a *session*.
:mod:`aiohttp.web` has no built-in concept of a *session*, however, there is a
third-party library, :mod:`aiohttp_session`, that adds *session* support::
import asyncio
import time
import base64
from cryptography import fernet
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_session import setup, get_session, session_middleware
from aiohttp_session.cookie_storage import EncryptedCookieStorage
async def handler(request):
session = await get_session(request)
last_visit = session.get("last_visit")
session["last_visit"] = time.time()
text = "Last visited: {}".format(last_visit)
return web.Response(text=text)
async def make_app():
app = web.Application()
# secret_key must be 32 url-safe base64-encoded bytes
fernet_key = fernet.Fernet.generate_key()
secret_key = base64.urlsafe_b64decode(fernet_key)
setup(app, EncryptedCookieStorage(secret_key))
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handler)])
return app
web.run_app(make_app())
.. _aiohttp-web-forms:
HTTP Forms
----------
HTTP Forms are supported out of the box.
If form's method is ``"GET"`` (``<form method="get">``) use
:attr:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.query` for getting form data.
To access form data with ``"POST"`` method use
:meth:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.post` or :meth:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.multipart`.
:meth:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.post` accepts both
``'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'`` and ``'multipart/form-data'``
form's data encoding (e.g. ``<form enctype="multipart/form-data">``).
It stores files data in temporary directory. If `client_max_size` is
specified `post` raises `ValueError` exception.
For efficiency use :meth:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.multipart`, It is especially effective
for uploading large files (:ref:`aiohttp-web-file-upload`).
Values submitted by the following form:
.. code-block:: html
<form action="/login" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"
enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<label for="login">Login</label>
<input id="login" name="login" type="text" value="" autofocus/>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input id="password" name="password" type="password" value=""/>
<input type="submit" value="login"/>
</form>
could be accessed as::
async def do_login(request):
data = await request.post()
login = data['login']
password = data['password']
.. _aiohttp-web-file-upload:
File Uploads
------------
:mod:`aiohttp.web` has built-in support for handling files uploaded from the
browser.
First, make sure that the HTML ``<form>`` element has its *enctype* attribute
set to ``enctype="multipart/form-data"``. As an example, here is a form that
accepts an MP3 file:
.. code-block:: html
<form action="/store/mp3" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="mp3">Mp3</label>
<input id="mp3" name="mp3" type="file" value=""/>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
Then, in the :ref:`request handler <aiohttp-web-handler>` you can access the
file input field as a :class:`FileField` instance. :class:`FileField` is simply
a container for the file as well as some of its metadata::
async def store_mp3_handler(request):
# WARNING: don't do that if you plan to receive large files!
data = await request.post()
mp3 = data['mp3']
# .filename contains the name of the file in string format.
filename = mp3.filename
# .file contains the actual file data that needs to be stored somewhere.
mp3_file = data['mp3'].file
content = mp3_file.read()
return web.Response(body=content,
headers=MultiDict(
{'CONTENT-DISPOSITION': mp3_file}))
You might have noticed a big warning in the example above. The general issue is
that :meth:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.post` reads the whole payload in memory,
resulting in possible
:abbr:`OOM (Out Of Memory)` errors. To avoid this, for multipart uploads, you
should use :meth:`aiohttp.web.BaseRequest.multipart` which returns a :ref:`multipart reader
<aiohttp-multipart>`::
async def store_mp3_handler(request):
reader = await request.multipart()
# /!\ Don't forget to validate your inputs /!\
# reader.next() will `yield` the fields of your form
field = await reader.next()
assert field.name == 'name'
name = await field.read(decode=True)
field = await reader.next()
assert field.name == 'mp3'
filename = field.filename
# You cannot rely on Content-Length if transfer is chunked.
size = 0
with open(os.path.join('/spool/yarrr-media/mp3/', filename), 'wb') as f:
while True:
chunk = await field.read_chunk() # 8192 bytes by default.
if not chunk:
break
size += len(chunk)
f.write(chunk)
return web.Response(text='{} sized of {} successfully stored'
''.format(filename, size))
.. _aiohttp-web-websockets:
WebSockets
----------
:mod:`aiohttp.web` supports *WebSockets* out-of-the-box.
To setup a *WebSocket*, create a :class:`WebSocketResponse` in a
:ref:`request handler <aiohttp-web-handler>` and then use it to communicate
with the peer::
async def websocket_handler(request):
ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
await ws.prepare(request)
async for msg in ws:
if msg.type == aiohttp.WSMsgType.TEXT:
if msg.data == 'close':
await ws.close()
else:
await ws.send_str(msg.data + '/answer')
elif msg.type == aiohttp.WSMsgType.ERROR:
print('ws connection closed with exception %s' %
ws.exception())
print('websocket connection closed')
return ws
The handler should be registered as HTTP GET processor::
app.add_routes([web.get('/ws', websocket_handler)])
.. _aiohttp-web-redirects:
Redirects
---------
To redirect user to another endpoint - raise :class:`HTTPFound` with
an absolute URL, relative URL or view name (the argument from router)::
raise web.HTTPFound('/redirect')
The following example shows redirect to view named 'login' in routes::
async def handler(request):
location = request.app.router['login'].url_for()
raise web.HTTPFound(location=location)
router.add_get('/handler', handler)
router.add_get('/login', login_handler, name='login')
Example with login validation::
@aiohttp_jinja2.template('login.html')
async def login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = await request.post()
error = validate_login(form)
if error:
return {'error': error}
else:
# login form is valid
location = request.app.router['index'].url_for()
raise web.HTTPFound(location=location)
return {}
app.router.add_get('/', index, name='index')
app.router.add_get('/login', login, name='login')
app.router.add_post('/login', login, name='login')
.. _aiohttp-web-exceptions:
Exceptions
----------
:mod:`aiohttp.web` defines a set of exceptions for every *HTTP status code*.
Each exception is a subclass of :class:`~HTTPException` and relates to a single
HTTP status code::
async def handler(request):
raise aiohttp.web.HTTPFound('/redirect')
.. warning::
Returning :class:`~HTTPException` or its subclasses is deprecated and will
be removed in subsequent aiohttp versions.
Each exception class has a status code according to :rfc:`2068`:
codes with 100-300 are not really errors; 400s are client errors,
and 500s are server errors.
HTTP Exception hierarchy chart::

All HTTP exceptions have the same constructor signature::
HTTPNotFound(*, headers=None, reason=None,
body=None, text=None, content_type=None)
If not directly specified, *headers* will be added to the *default
response headers*.
Classes :class:`HTTPMultipleChoices`, :class:`HTTPMovedPermanently`,
:class:`HTTPFound`, :class:`HTTPSeeOther`, :class:`HTTPUseProxy`,
:class:`HTTPTemporaryRedirect` have the following constructor signature::
HTTPFound(location, *, headers=None, reason=None,
body=None, text=None, content_type=None)
where *location* is value for *Location HTTP header*.
:class:`HTTPMethodNotAllowed` is constructed by providing the incoming
unsupported method and list of allowed methods::
HTTPMethodNotAllowed(method, allowed_methods, *,
headers=None, reason=None,
body=None, text=None, content_type=None)
:class:`HTTPUnavailableForLegalReasons` should be constructed with a ``link``
to yourself (as the entity implementing the blockage), and an explanation for
the block included in ``text``.::
HTTPUnavailableForLegalReasons(link, *,
headers=None, reason=None,
body=None, text=None, content_type=None)
