PlatformIO is an open source ecosystem for IoT development with cross platform build system, library manager and full support for Espressif ESP8266/ESP32 development. It works on the popular host OS: Mac OS X, Windows, Linux 32/64, Linux ARM (like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, CubieBoard).
- Install PlatformIO IDE
- Create new project using "PlatformIO Home > New Project"
- Update dev/platform to staging version:
- Add "ESP Async WebServer" to project using Project Configuration File
platformio.iniand lib_deps option:
[env:myboard]
platform = espressif...
board = ...
framework = arduino
# using the latest stable version
lib_deps = ESP Async WebServer
# or using GIT Url (the latest development version)
lib_deps = https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer.git- Happy coding with PlatformIO!
- Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
- You are called once the request is ready and parsed
- When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
- Speed is OMG
- Easy to use API, HTTP Basic and Digest MD5 Authentication (default), ChunkedResponse
- Easily extendible to handle any type of content
- Supports Continue 100
- Async WebSocket plugin offering different locations without extra servers or ports
- Async EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin to send events to the browser
- URL Rewrite plugin for conditional and permanent url rewrites
- ServeStatic plugin that supports cache, Last-Modified, default index and more
- Simple template processing engine to handle templates
- This is fully asynchronous server and as such does not run on the loop thread.
- You can not use yield or delay or any function that uses them inside the callbacks
- The server is smart enough to know when to close the connection and free resources
- You can not send more than one response to a single request
- Listens for connections
- Wraps the new clients into
Request - Keeps track of clients and cleans memory
- Manages
Rewritesand apply them on the request url - Manages
Handlersand attaches them to Requests
- TCP connection is received by the server
- The connection is wrapped inside
Requestobject - When the request head is received (type, url, get params, http version and host),
the server goes through all
Rewrites(in the order they were added) to rewrite the url and inject query parameters, next, it goes through all attachedHandlers(in the order they were added) trying to find one thatcanHandlethe given request. If none are found, the default(catch-all) handler is attached. - The rest of the request is received, calling the
handleUploadorhandleBodymethods of theHandlerif they are needed (POST+File/Body) - When the whole request is parsed, the result is given to the
handleRequestmethod of theHandlerand is ready to be responded to - In the
handleRequestmethod, to theRequestis attached aResponseobject (see below) that will serve the response data back to the client - When the
Responseis sent, the client is closed and freed from the memory
- The
Rewritesare used to rewrite the request url and/or inject get parameters for a specific request url path. - All
Rewritesare evaluated on the request in the order they have been added to the server. - The
Rewritewill change the request url only if the request url (excluding get parameters) is fully match the rewrite url, and when the optionalFiltercallback return true. - Setting a
Filterto theRewriteenables to control when to apply the rewrite, decision can be based on request url, http version, request host/port/target host, get parameters or the request client's localIP or remoteIP. - Two filter callbacks are provided:
ON_AP_FILTERto execute the rewrite when request is made to the AP interface,ON_STA_FILTERto execute the rewrite when request is made to the STA interface. - The
Rewritecan specify a target url with optional get parameters, e.g./to-url?with=params
- The
Handlersare used for executing specific actions to particular requests - One
Handlerinstance can be attached to any request and lives together with the server - Setting a
Filterto theHandlerenables to control when to apply the handler, decision can be based on request url, http version, request host/port/target host, get parameters or the request client's localIP or remoteIP. - Two filter callbacks are provided:
ON_AP_FILTERto execute the rewrite when request is made to the AP interface,ON_STA_FILTERto execute the rewrite when request is made to the STA interface. - The
canHandlemethod is used for handler specific control on whether the requests can be handled and for declaring any interesting headers that theRequestshould parse. Decision can be based on request method, request url, http version, request host/port/target host and get parameters - Once a
Handleris attached to givenRequest(canHandlereturned true) thatHandlertakes care to receive any file/data upload and attach aResponseonce theRequesthas been fully parsed Handlersare evaluated in the order they are attached to the server. ThecanHandleis called only if theFilterthat was set to theHandlerreturn true.- The first
Handlerthat can handle the request is selected, not furtherFilterandcanHandleare called.
- The
Responseobjects are used to send the response data back to the client - The
Responseobject lives with theRequestand is freed on end or disconnect - Different techniques are used depending on the response type to send the data in packets returning back almost immediately and sending the next packet when this one is received. Any time in between is spent to run the user loop and handle other network packets
- Responding asynchronously is probably the most difficult thing for most to understand
- Many different options exist for the user to make responding a background task
- ESPAsyncWebserver contains simple template processing engine.
- Template processing can be added to most response types.
- Currently it supports only replacing template placeholders with actual values. No conditional processing, cycles, etc.
- Placeholders are delimited with
%symbols. Like this:%TEMPLATE_PLACEHOLDER%. - It works by extracting placeholder name from response text and passing it to user provided function which should return actual value to be used instead of placeholder.
- Since it's user provided function, it is possible for library users to implement conditional processing and cycles themselves.
- Since it's impossible to know the actual response size after template processing step in advance (and, therefore, to include it in response headers), the response becomes chunked.

}If needed, the _tempObject field on the request can be used to store a pointer to temporary data (e.g. from the body) associated with the request. If assigned, the pointer will automatically be freed along with the request.
Endpoints which consume JSON can use a special handler to get ready to use JSON data in the request callback:

#include "ArduinoJson.h"
AsyncCallbackJsonWebHandler* handler = new AsyncCallbackJsonWebHandler("/rest/endpoint", [](AsyncWebServerRequest *request, JsonVariant &json) {

request->send(response);In addition to serving files from SPIFFS as described above, the server provide a dedicated handler that optimize the
performance of serving files from SPIFFS - AsyncStaticWebHandler. Use server.serveStatic() function to
initialize and add a new instance of AsyncStaticWebHandler to the server.
The Handler will not handle the request if the file does not exists, e.g. the server will continue to look for another
handler that can handle the request.
Notice that you can chain setter functions to setup the handler, or keep a pointer to change it at a later time.
// Serve the file "/www/page.htm" when request url is "/page.htm"
server.serveStatic("/page.htm", SPIFFS, "/www/page.htm");To serve files in a directory, the path to the files should specify a directory in SPIFFS and ends with "/".
// Serve files in directory "/www/" when request url starts with "/"
// Request to the root or none existing files will try to server the defualt
// file name "index.htm" if exists
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/");
// Server with different default file
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/").setDefaultFile("default.html");server
.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/")
.setDefaultFile("default.html")
.setAuthentication("user", "pass");It is possible to specify Cache-Control header value to reduce the number of calls to the server once the client loaded the files. For more information on Cache-Control values see Cache-Control
// Cache responses for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/").setCacheControl("max-age=600");
//*** Change Cache-Control after server setup ***
// During setup - keep a pointer to the handler
AsyncStaticWebHandler* handler = &server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/").setCacheControl("max-age=600");
// At a later event - change Cache-Control
handler->setCacheControl("max-age=30");It is possible to specify Date-Modified header to enable the server to return Not-Modified (304) response for requests with "If-Modified-Since" header with the same value, instead of responding with the actual file content.
// Update the date modified string every time files are updated
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/").setLastModified("Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:00:00 GMT");
//*** Chage last modified value at a later stage ***
// During setup - read last modified value from config or EEPROM
String date_modified = loadDateModified();
AsyncStaticWebHandler* handler = &server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/");
handler->setLastModified(date_modified);
// At a later event when files are updated
String date_modified = getNewDateModfied();
saveDateModified(date_modified); // Save for next reset
handler->setLastModified(date_modified);It is possible to specify template processor for static files. For information on template processor see Respond with content coming from a File containing templates.
String processor(const String& var)
{
if(var == "HELLO_FROM_TEMPLATE")
return F("Hello world!");
return String();
}
// ...
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/").setTemplateProcessor(processor);It is possible to rewrite the request url with parameter matchg. Here is an example with one parameter: Rewrite for example "/radio/{frequence}" -> "/radio?f={frequence}"
class OneParamRewrite : public AsyncWebRewrite
{
protected:
String _urlPrefix;
int _paramIndex;
String _paramsBackup;
public:
OneParamRewrite(const char* from, const char* to)
: AsyncWebRewrite(from, to) {
_paramIndex = _from.indexOf('{');
if( _paramIndex >=0 && _from.endsWith("}")) {
_urlPrefix = _from.substring(0, _paramIndex);
int index = _params.indexOf('{');
if(index >= 0) {
_params = _params.substring(0, index);
}
} else {
_urlPrefix = _from;
}
_paramsBackup = _params;
}
bool match(AsyncWebServerRequest *request) override {
if(request->url().startsWith(_urlPrefix)) {
if(_paramIndex >= 0) {
_params = _paramsBackup + request->url().substring(_paramIndex);
} else {
_params = _paramsBackup;
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
};Usage:
server.addRewrite( new OneParamRewrite("/radio/{frequence}", "/radio?f={frequence}") );Filters can be set to Rewrite or Handler in order to control when to apply the rewrite and consider the handler.
A filter is a callback function that evaluates the request and return a boolean true to include the item
or false to exclude it.
Two filter callback are provided for convince:
ON_STA_FILTER- return true when requests are made to the STA (station mode) interface.ON_AP_FILTER- return true when requests are made to the AP (access point) interface.
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/").setFilter(ON_STA_FILTER);
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/ap/").setFilter(ON_AP_FILTER);// Serve the file "/www/index-ap.htm" in AP, and the file "/www/index.htm" on STA
server.rewrite("/", "index.htm");
server.rewrite("/index.htm", "index-ap.htm").setFilter(ON_AP_FILTER);
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/");// Filter callback using request host
bool filterOnHost1(AsyncWebServerRequest *request) { return request->host() == "host1"; }
// Server setup: server files in "/host1/" to requests for "host1", and files in "/www/" otherwise.
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/host1/").setFilter(filterOnHost1);
server.serveStatic("/", SPIFFS, "/www/"); String RedirectUrl = "http://";
if (ON_STA_FILTER(request)) {
RedirectUrl += WiFi.localIP().toString();
} else {
RedirectUrl += WiFi.softAPIP().toString();
}
RedirectUrl += "/index.htm";
request->redirect(RedirectUrl);Some responses are implemented, but you should not use them, because they do not conform to HTTP. The following example will lead to unclean close of the connection and more time wasted than providing the length of the content
//This is used as fallback for chunked responses to HTTP/1.0 Clients
request->send("text/plain", 0, [](uint8_t *buffer, size_t maxLen, size_t index) -> size_t {
//Write up to "maxLen" bytes into "buffer" and return the amount written.
//You will be asked for more data until 0 is returned
//Keep in mind that you can not delay or yield waiting for more data!
return mySource.read(buffer, maxLen);

Under certain circumstances you might want to manipulate or populate this buffer directly from your application, for example to prevent unnecessary duplications of the data. This example below shows how to create a buffer and print data to it from an ArduinoJson object then send it.
void sendDataWs(AsyncWebSocketClient * client)
{
DynamicJsonBuffer jsonBuffer;
JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
root["a"] = "abc";
root["b"] = "abcd";
root["c"] = "abcde";
root["d"] = "abcdef";
root["e"] = "abcdefg";
size_t len = root.measureLength();
AsyncWebSocketMessageBuffer * buffer = ws.makeBuffer(len); // creates a buffer (len + 1) for you.
if (buffer) {
root.printTo((char *)buffer->get(), len + 1);
if (client) {
client->text(buffer);
} else {
ws.textAll(buffer);
}
}
}Browsers sometimes do not correctly close the websocket connection, even when the close() function is called in javascript. This will eventually exhaust the web server's resources and will cause the server to crash. Periodically calling the cleanClients() function from the main loop() function limits the number of clients by closing the oldest client when the maximum number of clients has been exceeded. This can called be every cycle, however, if you wish to use less power, then calling as infrequently as once per second is sufficient.
void loop(){
ws.cleanupClients();
}The server includes EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin which can be used to send short text events to the browser. Difference between EventSource and WebSockets is that EventSource is single direction, text-only protocol.
AsyncWebServer server(80);

// setup ......

// and set reconnect delay to 1 second
client->send("hello!",NULL,millis(),1000);

In some cases, such as when working with CORS, or with some sort of custom authentication system, you might need to define a header that should get added to all responses (including static, websocket and EventSource). The DefaultHeaders singleton allows you to do this.
Example:
DefaultHeaders::Instance().addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
webServer.begin();NOTE: You will still need to respond to the OPTIONS method for CORS pre-flight in most cases. (unless you are only using GET)
This is one option:
webServer.onNotFound([](AsyncWebServerRequest *request) {
if (request->method() == HTTP_OPTIONS) {
request->send(200);
} else {
request->send(404);
}
});With path variable you can create a custom regex rule for a specific parameter in a route.
For example we want a sensorId parameter in a route rule to match only a integer.
server.on("^\\/sensor\\/([0-9]+)$", HTTP_GET, [] (AsyncWebServerRequest *request) {
String sensorId = request->pathArg(0);
});NOTE: All regex patterns starts with ^ and ends with $
To enable the Path variable support, you have to define the buildflag -DASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX.
For Arduino IDE create/update platform.local.txt:
Windows: C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\{espxxxx}\hardware\espxxxx\{version}\platform.local.txt
Linux: ~/.arduino15/packages/{espxxxx}/hardware/{espxxxx}/{version}/platform.local.txt
Add/Update the following line:
compiler.cpp.extra_flags=-DDASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX
For platformio modify platformio.ini:
[env:myboard]
build_flags =
-DASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEXNOTE: By enabling ASYNCWEBSERVER_REGEX, <regex> will be included. This will add an 100k to your binary.
