val register_eliom_module : string -> (unit -> unit) -> unit
Registration of named modules ¶
This functionality allows to register module initialization functions
for Eliom modules which will be executed when the corresponding module
is initialized in ocsigen.conf.
This function is used to specify the initialization function
for Eliom modules linked dynamic or statically into the server.
register_eliom_module name f registers the initialization function f for
module name. The f function will be invoked when the module is
initialized in the configuration file using
<eliom name="name"> ... </eliom>, which
is equivalent to <eliom module="name.cmo"> ... </eliom> with the exception
that it does not load the module using Dynlink.
Definitions of services ¶
Warning: These functions must be called when the site
information is available, that is, either
during a request or during the initialisation phase of the site.
Otherwise, it will raise the exception
Eliom_common.Eliom_site_information_not_available.
If you are using static linking, you must delay the call to this function
until the configuration file is read, using
Eliom_services.register_eliom_module. Otherwise you will also get
this exception.

service
service ~path ~get_params () creates a
Eliom_services.service associated
to the path path, taking the GET parameters get_params.
If ~https is true, all links towards that service will use https.
The default priority is 0. If you want the service to be tried before
(resp after)
the other ones at the same path, put a higher (resp. lower) priority.

service
Creates a service for an external web site, that will use GET method.
This allows to creates links or forms towards other Web sites using
Eliom's syntax.
The parameter labelled ~path is the URL path, and each element of
the list will be URL-encoded.
The parameter labelled ~prefix contains all what you want to put before
the path. It usually starts with "http://" plus
the name of the server. The whole URL is constructed from the prefix,
the path and parameters. The prefix is not encoded.
An empty prefix can be used to make a link to another site of the same
server.

service
Same, with POST method.
Creates a service that takes POST parameters.
fallback is a service without POST parameters.
You can't create an service with POST parameters
if the same service does not exist without POST parameters.
Thus, the user cannot put a bookmark on a page that does not exist.

a_s ],
'b, 'c, 'f, [> `Registrable ], 'g)
service
Creates an attached coservice. A coservice is another version of an
already existing main service, where you can register another handler.
The two versions are automatically distinguished using an extra parameter
added automatically by Eliom.
It allows to have several links towards the same page,
that will behave differently, or to create services dedicated to one user.
Coservices can be named if the ?name optional parameter
is present or anonymous (in that case, a coservice number will be
generated).
See the programmer's manual for more informations.
The ~timeout parameter specifies a timeout (in seconds)
after which the coservice will disappear. This amount of time is
computed from the creation or from the last call to the service.
Default: no timeout.
The ~max_use parameter specifies that the service can be used only
a fixed number of times. Default: no limitation.
If ~csrf_safe is true,
it will create a "CSRF-safe" service (the default is false).
(In that case ~name is ignored).
It means that the registration of the service will not actually
take place when register is called, but delayed and performed
each time a form is created. This allows to protect against CSRF attacks,
and should be use with a short timeout (and max_use).
(And you should probably use POST coservices in that case).
In that case, you can register the CSRF safe service either in the global
service table or in the session service table. But the actual registration,
that will occure when creating a link or a form, will always take
place in a session service table. This table is specified by the
~csrf_scope and ~csrf_secure parameters
(that correspond to ~scope and ~secure for the delayed
registration); it is the default session table if they are absent.
Parameters ?scope and ?secure of register
must have the same values as the one declared while creating the
CSRF safe coservice, otherwise the registration will fail
with .
Creates a coservice with POST parameters

unit ->
(unit, 'a, [> `Nonattached of [> `Post ] na_s ],
[ `WithoutSuffix ], unit, 'b, [> `Registrable ], 'c)
service
Creates a non-attached coservice, that is, services that do not
correspond to a path in the URL. They are identified only by a
parameter, whatever be the path.
Links towards such services will not change the URL,
just add extra parameters.
Non-attached coservices can be named if the ?name optional parameter
is present or anonymous (in that case, a coservice number will be
generated).
See the programmer's manual for more informations.
Creates a non attached coservice with POST parameters.
If the optional parameter ~keep_get_na_params is false,
GET non-attached parameters won't be kept in the URL (if any) when you
create a POST form to this coservice.
Default is true.
Predefined services ¶
val static_dir :
unit ->
(string list, unit,
[> `Attached of
([> `Internal of [> `Service ] ], [> `Get ]) a_s ],
[ `WithSuffix ], [ `One of string list ] Eliom_parameters.param_name,
unit, [> `Unregistrable ], 'a)
service
Static files ¶
val https_static_dir :
unit ->
(string list, unit,
[> `Attached of
([> `Internal of [> `Service ] ], [> `Get ]) a_s ],
[ `WithSuffix ], [ `One of string list ] Eliom_parameters.param_name,
unit, [> `Unregistrable ], 'a)
service
A predefined service
that correponds to the directory where static pages are
(if the staticmod extension is used).
This directory is chosen in the configuration file.
This service takes the name of the static file as a parameter
(a string list, slash separated).
val static_dir_with_params :
?keep_nl_params:[ `All | `None | `Persistent ] ->
get_params:('a, [ `WithoutSuffix ], 'b) Eliom_parameters.params_type ->
unit ->
(string list * 'a, unit,
[> `Attached of
([> `Internal of [> `Service ] ], [> `Get ]) a_s ],
[ `WithSuffix ],
[ `One of string list ] Eliom_parameters.param_name * 'b, unit,
[> `Unregistrable ], 'c)
service
The same, but forcing https
val https_static_dir_with_params :
?keep_nl_params:[ `All | `None | `Persistent ] ->
get_params:('a, [ `WithoutSuffix ], 'b) Eliom_parameters.params_type ->
unit ->

[ `WithSuffix ],
[ `One of string list ] Eliom_parameters.param_name * 'b, unit,
[> `Unregistrable ], 'c)
service
Like static_dir, but allows to put GET parameters
The same, but forcing https
val void_coservice' :
(unit, unit, [> `Nonattached of 'a na_s ],
[ `WithoutSuffix ], unit, unit, [> `Unregistrable ], 'b)
service
Void non-attached coservices ¶
val https_void_coservice' :
(unit, unit, [> `Nonattached of 'a na_s ],
[ `WithoutSuffix ], unit, unit, [> `Unregistrable ], 'b)
service
A predefined non-attached action with special behaviour:
it has no parameter at all, even non-attached parameters.
Use it if you want to make a link to the current page without non-attached
parameters.
It is almost equivalent to a POST non-attached service without POST
parameters, on which you register an action that does nothing,
but you can use it with <a> links, not only forms.
It does not keep non attached GET parameters.
The same, but forcing https.
Same as void_coservice' but keeps non attached GET parameters.
The same, but forcing https.
val preapply :
service:('a, 'b, [> `Attached of ('d, 'e) a_s ] as 'c,
[< suff ], 'f, 'g, 'h, 'i)
service ->
'a ->
(unit, 'b, 'c, [ `WithoutSuffix ], unit, 'g, [> `Unregistrable ], 'i)

Miscellaneous ¶
val add_non_localized_get_parameters :
params:('a, [ `WithoutSuffix ], 'b)
Eliom_parameters.non_localized_params ->
service:('c, 'd, 'e, 'f, 'g, 'h, 'i, 'j) service ->
('c * 'a, 'd, 'e, 'f, 'g * 'b, 'h, 'i, 'j) service
creates a new service by preapplying a service to GET parameters.
It is not possible to register a handler on an preapplied service.
Preapplied services may be used in links or as fallbacks for coservices
val add_non_localized_post_parameters :
params:('a, [ `WithoutSuffix ], 'b)
Eliom_parameters.non_localized_params ->
service:('c, 'd, 'e, 'f, 'g, 'h, 'i, 'j) service ->
('c, 'd * 'a, 'e, 'f, 'g, 'h * 'b, 'i, 'j) service
Adds non localized GET parameters to a service
val unregister :
?scope:[< Eliom_common.scope ] ->
?secure:bool ->
('a, 'b,
[< `Attached of
([> `Internal of 'c ], [< `Get | `Post ]) a_s
| `Nonattached of 'd na_s ],
'e, 'f, 'g, 'h, 'i)
service -> unit
Adds non localized POST parameters to a service
Unregister a service (by default from the public table)
Eliom application services ¶
val onload : Eliom_pervasives.XML.event -> unit
This function will register a function that will be executed on
client side once the Eliom_appl page is loaded.
Use it with Eliom's syntax extension for client side code.
For example: set_onload ~sp {{ ... }}
val onunload : Eliom_pervasives.XML.event -> unit
This function will register a function that will be executed on
client side when leaving current Eliom_appl page.
