Instead of directly interpreting a server as a `RoutingApplication`, this change introduces the concept of a `Router`, which is a datatype with several constructors. In particular, the type of the `route` function changes from route :: Proxy layout -> Server layout -> RoutingApplication to route :: Proxy layout -> IO (RouteResult (Server layout)) -> Router Most important in practice is the case of the `StaticRouter` constructor in `Router`. For choices between statically known paths, we can now use a lookup table to dispatch requests rather than trying each request individually. This brings down routing complexity of a common case from O(n) to O(log n). Another important change is that the handler that is passed down by `route` is no longer of type `Server layout`, but of type `IO (RouteResult (Server layout))`. This means that API constructs can "delay" checks and failure. For example, `ReqBody` does not have to fetch the request body and feed it to the handler immediately; it can instead record these actions in the handler that is passed down. The code will only be executed at a leaf / endpoint of the API. This is desired behaviour: We prefer to save work by doing all matching on static path components first. Furthermore, we get better error codes by doing so. |
