In our imagination, we want to write a dead simple app to just say “Hello” to someone.
Suppose we have Tori on the system path and the following project structure:
project/
app/
__init__.py
error.py
views/
(empty)
resources/
readme.txt
city.jpg
First, we write a controller project/app/controller.py with:
from tori.controller import Controller
from tori.decorator.controller import renderer
@renderer('app.views')
class MainController(Controller):
def get(self, name):
self.render('index.html', name=name)
@renderer('app.views') is to indicate that the template is in app.views and self.render is to render a template at index.html in app.views with a context variable name from a query string.
Note
Read more on Controller.
Next, we write a Jinja2 template project/app/views/index.html with:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>Example</head>
<body>Hello, {{ name }}</body>
</html>
Note
Read more on Templates.
Then, we need to write a configuration file. For this example, we will save to at project/server.xml containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application>
<server>
<port>8000</port>
</server>
<routes>
<controller class="demo.app.controller.main.MainController" pattern="/([^/]+)"/>
<resource location="resources" pattern="/resources(/.*)" cache="true"/>
<redirection destination="http://shiroyuki.com" pattern="/about-shiroyuki"/>
</routes>
<services/>
</application>
Note
See Configuration for more information on the configuration.
Then, we write a bootstrap file at project/server.py containing:
from tori.application import Application
application = Application('server.xml')
application.start()
Now, to run the server, you can simply just execute:
python server.py
You should see it running.
