Installation

You can use zig fetch to conveniently set the hash in the build.zig.zon file and update an existing dependency.

Run the following command to fetch the http2.zig package:

zig fetch https://github.com/hendriknielaender/http2.zig/archive/<COMMIT>.tar.gz --save

Using zig fetch simplifies managing dependencies by automatically handling the package hash, ensuring your build.zig.zon file is up to date.

Option 1 (build.zig.zon)

1. Declare http2.zig as a dependency in build.zig.zon:

   .{
       .name = "my-project",
       .version = "1.0.0",
       .paths = .{""},
       .dependencies = .{
   +       .http2 = .{
   +           .url = "https://github.com/hendriknielaender/http2.zig/archive/<COMMIT>.tar.gz",
   +       },
       },
   }
   

2. Add the module in build.zig:

   const std = @import("std");
   
   pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
       const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
       const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
   
   +   const opts = .{ .target = target, .optimize = optimize };
   +   const http2_module = b.dependency("http2", opts).module("http2");
   
       const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
           .name = "test",
           .root_source_file = b.path("src/main.zig"),
           .target = target,
           .optimize = optimize,
       });
   +   exe.root_module.addImport("http2", http2_module);
       exe.install();
   
       ...
   }
   

3. Get the package hash:

   $ zig build
   my-project/build.zig.zon:6:20: error: url field is missing corresponding hash field
           .url = "https://github.com/hendriknielaender/http2.zig/archive/<COMMIT>.tar.gz",
                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   note: expected .hash = "<HASH>",
   

4. Update build.zig.zon package hash value:

   .{
       .name = "my-project",
       .version = "1.0.0",
       .paths = .{""},
       .dependencies = .{
           .http2 = .{
               .url = "https://github.com/hendriknielaender/http2.zig/archive/<COMMIT>.tar.gz",
   +           .hash = "<HASH>",
           },
       },
   }
   

Usage

Connection

To create an HTTP/2 connection, use the Connection struct. This struct handles the initialization, sending of the HTTP/2 preface, settings, and managing streams.

const std = @import("std");
const http2 = @import("http2");

const Connection = http2.Connection(std.io.AnyReader, std.io.AnyWriter);

pub fn main() !void {
    const address = try std.net.Address.resolveIp("0.0.0.0", 8081);
    var listener = try address.listen(.{ .reuse_address = true });
    defer listener.deinit();

    std.debug.print("Listening on 127.0.0.1:8081...\n", .{});

    while (true) {
        var conn = try listener.accept();
        defer conn.stream.close(); 

        std.debug.print("Accepted connection from: {any}\n", .{conn.address});

        var server_conn = Connection.init(@constCast(&std.heap.page_allocator), conn.stream.reader().any(), conn.stream.writer().any(), true) catch |err| {
            std.debug.print("Failed to initialize connection: {}\n", .{err});
            continue;
        };
        defer server_conn.deinit();

        // Handle connection and errors during the process
        server_conn.handleConnection() catch |err| {
            std.debug.print("Error handling connection: {}\n", .{err});
        };

        std.debug.print("Connection from {any} closed\n", .{conn.address});
    }
}
