MacroApp layers on top of MacroExpress to provide a SwiftUI like, declarative setup of endpoints.

It is a little more opinionated than MacroExpress.

MacroExpress is a small, unopinionated "don't get into my way" / "I don't wanna wait" asynchronous web framework for Swift. With a strong focus on replicating the Node APIs in Swift. But in a typesafe, and fast way.

MacroApp is just syntactic sugar (using Swift function builders) on top of MacroExpress. The configuration is evaluated into a regular MacroExpress based app (with routes and middleware).

Example

MacroApp:

@main
struct HelloWorld: App {
  
  var body: some Endpoints {
    Use(logger("dev"), bodyParser.urlencoded())
          
    Route("/admin") {
      Get("/view") { req, res, _ in res.render("admin-index.html") }
      Render("help", template: "help")
    }
      
    Get { req, res, next in
      res.render("index.html")
    }
  }
}

Instead of this traditional route setup (as in MacroExpress):

let app = express()

app.use(logger("dev"), bodyParser.urlencoded())

app.route("/admin")
   .get("/view") { req, res, _ in res.render("admin-index.html") }

app.get("/") { req, res, _ in res.render("index.html") }

app.listen(1337) {
    console.log("Server listening on http://localhost:1337")
}
