ZAP Release v0.5.1

Updates

Request.methodAsEnum() and Windows build error message

This is a small update of recent PRs. Thanks for the great contributions!

See the changelog below for individual contributions.

• zap.Request.methodAsEnum() returns HTTP method as enum or .UNKNOWN
  • the reason the method is not an enum by default is to avoid the
    string comparisons on every request when we might not need them
• build attempts on Windows now produce a meaningful error message
• zap.Request now supports getParamSlice() and getParamSlices()
  which return optional string slices of the raw query string.
  • PRO: no allocation
  • CON: no decoding: "hello+zap" will not be decoded into "hello zap"
  • if you need decoding, you can still use getParamStr().

I updated the docs and zig-0.12.0 branch, too, as with all recent and future releases.

Using it

To use in your own projects, put this dependency into your build.zig.zon:

        // zap v0.5.1
        .zap = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/zigzap/zap/archive/refs/tags/v0.5.1.tar.gz",
            .hash = "1220d4802fb09d4e99c0e7265f90d6f3cfdc3e5e31c1b05f0924ee2dd26d9d6dbbf4",
        }

Here is a complete build.zig.zon example:

.{
    .name = "My example project",
    .version = "0.0.1",

    .dependencies = .{
        // zap v0.5.1
        .zap = .{
            .url = "https://github.com/zigzap/zap/archive/refs/tags/v0.5.1.tar.gz",
            .hash = "1220d4802fb09d4e99c0e7265f90d6f3cfdc3e5e31c1b05f0924ee2dd26d9d6dbbf4",
        }
    }
}

Then, in your build.zig's build function, add the following before exe.install():

    const zap = b.dependency("zap", .{
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });
    exe.addModule("zap", zap.module("zap"));
    exe.linkLibrary(zap.artifact("facil.io"));
