cell

Cell is a module that facilitates the creation of HLHV cells. In the future, this module will contain many convenience functions to make creating a cell easier.

Creating a Cell

Compared to the previous way of creating cells, this way involves far less boilerplate. A very basic cell:

package main

import (
        "github.com/hlhv/cell"
)

func main () {
        // configure cell
        thisCell := &cell.Cell {
                Description:   "Example cell",
                MountPoint:    cell.Mount { "@", "/" },
                DataDirectory: "/var/hlhv/cells/example/",
                QueenAddress:  "localhost:2001",
                Key:           "example key",

                OnHTTP:        onHTTP,
        }

        // run cell
        thisCell.Run()
}

func onHTTP (response *cell.HTTPResponse, request *cell.HTTPRequest) {
        // passing nil writes no headers
        response.WriteHead(200, nil)
        
        // write response body
        response.WriteBody([]byte("hello, world!"))
}

Note: Running two cells within the same program will cause issues. This may be fixed in the future, however doing this is generally a bad idea and defeats the purpose of cells.
