This commit goes a long way toward making automated documentation of
Caddy config and Caddy modules possible. It's a broad, sweeping change,
but mostly internal. It allows us to automatically generate docs for all
Caddy modules (including future third-party ones) and make them viewable
on a web page; it also doubles as godoc comments.
As such, this commit makes significant progress in migrating the docs
from our temporary wiki page toward our new website which is still under
construction.
With this change, all host modules will use ctx.LoadModule() and pass in
both the struct pointer and the field name as a string. This allows the
reflect package to read the struct tag from that field so that it can
get the necessary information like the module namespace and the inline
key.
This has the nice side-effect of unifying the code and documentation. It
also simplifies module loading, and handles several variations on field
types for raw module fields (i.e. variations on json.RawMessage, such as
arrays and maps).
I also renamed ModuleInfo.Name -> ModuleInfo.ID, to make it clear that
the ID is the "full name" which includes both the module namespace and
the name. This clarity is helpful when describing module hierarchy.
As of this change, Caddy modules are no longer an experimental design.
I think the architecture is good enough to go forward.
- Rename http.var.* -> http.vars.* to be more consistent
- Prefixing a path matcher with * now invokes simple suffix matching
- Handlers and matchers that need a root path default to {http.vars.root}
- Clean replacer output on the file matcher's file selection suffix
Use piles from which to draw config values.
Module values can return their name, so now we can do two-way mapping
from value to name and name to value; whereas before we could only map
name to value. This was problematic with the Caddyfile adapter since
it receives values and needs to know the name to put in the config.
Along with several other changes, such as renaming caddyhttp.ServerRoute
to caddyhttp.Route, exporting some types that were not exported before,
and tweaking the caddytls TLS values to be more consistent.
Notably, we also now disable automatic cert management for names which
already have a cert (manually) loaded into the cache. These names no
longer need to be specified in the "skip_certificates" field of the
automatic HTTPS config, because they will be skipped automatically.
Differentiating middleware and responders has one benefit, namely that
it's clear which module provides the response, but even then it's not
a great advantage. Linear handler config makes a little more sense,
giving greater flexibility and simplifying the core a bit, even though
it's slightly awkward that handlers which are responders may not use
the 'next' handler that is passed in at all.
- Fix static responder so it doesn't replace its own headers config,
and instead replaces the actual response header values
- caddyhttp.ResponseRecorder type optionally buffers response
- Add interface guards to ensure regexp matchers get provisioned
- Use default HTTP port if one is not explicitly set
- Encode middleware writes status code 200 if not written upstream
- Templates and markdown only try to execute on text responses
- Static file server sets Content-Type based on file extension only
(this whole thing -- MIME sniffing, etc -- needs more configurability)
