# The pattern.server module allows you to run a pure-Python web server.
# It is built on CherryPy and inspired by Flask and bottle.py.
# This example demonstrates a basic web app.
# At the bottom of the script is a call to app.run().
# So, to start the web server, run this script.
# If you make any changes to the script and save it,
# the server automatically restarts to reflect the changes.
# If the server is running in "production mode", i.e., app.run(debug=False),
# it will not restart automatically.
app = App(name="basic", static="static/")
# Here are some properties of the app.
# app.path yields the absolute path to the app folder.
# app.static yields the absolute path to the folder for static content.

# The @app.route() decorator can be used to define a URL path handler.
# A path handler is simply a Python function that returns a string,
# which will be displayed in the browser.
# For example, visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/:
@app.route("/")
def index():
return "Hello world!"
# The index() function handles requests at http://127.0.0.1:8080/,
# but no other paths. If you'd visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ponies,
# a 404 error will be raised, since there is no "/ponies" handler.
# The @app.error() decorator can be used to catch errors.
# In this case it prints out the error status and a traceback.
# The traceback will always be an empty string
# when you are running a production server, i.e., app.run(debug=False).
# You want to see errors during development, i.e., app.run(debug=True).
# You don't want to confront users with them when the app is live
# (or let hackers learn from them).

# URL handler functions can take positional arguments and keyword arguments.
# Positional arguments correspond to the URL path.
# Keyword arguments correspond to query parameters.
# The products() function below handles requests at http://127.0.0.1:8080/products/.
# Notice how it takes an "name" parameter, which is a subpath.
# When you browse http://127.0.0.1:8080/products/, name=None.
# When you browse http://127.0.0.1:8080/products/iphone, name="iphone".
# When you browse http://127.0.0.1:8080/products/iphone/reviews, a 404 error is raised.

# To catch any kind of subpath, use Python's *path notation.
# For http://127.0.0.1:8080/products2/, path=().
# For http://127.0.0.1:8080/products2/iphone, path=("iphone",).

# You can also use keyword arguments.
# These correspond to query parameters (i.e., the "?x=y" part of a URL).
# Query parameters from HTML forms can be sent to the server by GET or POST.
# GET sends the parameters as part of the URL.
# POST sends the parameters in the background. They can hold longer strings.
# For example, browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080/review and fill in the form.
# Observe the URL when you click "submit".
# Observe how the data in ",
" ",
""
)
# To accept any number of query parameters, use Python's **data notation.
# The keyword argument "data" will be a dictionary with all query parameters.
# Images, CSS, etc. can be placed in the static folder.
# Take a look in /01-basic/static. There's a "cat.jpg".
# Static files are accessible from the web, e.g.,
# http://127.0.0.1:8080/cat.jpg
# So, you can refer to them in HTML code:
# http://127.0.0.1:8080/cat
@app.route("/cat")

# 1) Create an App.
# 2) Register URL handlers with @app.route().
# 3) Start the server with app.run().
