Error 404 unfound routes Actix-web

[ONiel]

This is my code:

use actix_web::{web, App, HttpResponse, HttpServer, Responder, Result};
use actix_web::http::{StatusCode};


async fn index() -> impl Responder {
    HttpResponse::Ok()
    .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
    .body("

    <h1>Home</h1>
    ")
}

async fn index2() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1>Rofl</h1>"))
}

async fn rofl() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1 style='color: red;'>Rofl pagina</h1>"))
}

#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    HttpServer::new(|| {
        App::new()
        .route("/lol/a/rofl", web::get().to(rofl))
        .route("/", web::get().to(index))
        //Way to bind unfound pages to errro 404 page


    })
    .bind("127.0.0.1:8087")?
    .run()
    .await
}

It works fine, the different routes display the correct HTML. However, how would I make it like unfound pages are shown a error 404-page instead of just a blank page?

Thanks!

It looks like you need to set a default_service(...) on the app. Not super familiar with actix but I think if you pass a function to that that returns an error it should work.

[ONiel]

Could you provide an example on how to use it?

This is what I've got so far:

use actix_web::{web, App, HttpResponse, HttpServer, Responder, Result};
use actix_web::http::{StatusCode};


async fn index() -> impl Responder {
    HttpResponse::Ok()
    .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
    .body("

    <h1>Home</h1>
    ")
}

async fn index2() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1>Rofl</h1>"))
}

async fn rofl() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1 style='color: red;'>Rofl pagina</h1>"))
}

async fn not_found() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1>Error 404</h1>"))
}

#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    HttpServer::new(|| {
        App::new().service(
        web::resource("/index.html").route(web::get().to(index))


    )
    .default_service(
        web::route().to(not_found)
    )
        //Way to bind unfound pages to errro 404 page


    })
    .bind("127.0.0.1:8087")?
    .run()
    .await
}

How do. I make multiple routes inApp::new().service()? Now it's only working for index.html.
And the default_service is just returning a blank page instead of a customized Error 404-message.

Edit:
Got it working with the following code:

use actix_web::{web, App, HttpResponse, HttpServer, Responder, Result};
use actix_web::http::{StatusCode};


async fn index() -> impl Responder {
    HttpResponse::Ok()
    .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
    .body("

    <h1>Home</h1>
    ")
}

async fn about() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1>About</h1>"))
}

async fn not_found() -> Result<HttpResponse> {
    Ok(HttpResponse::build(StatusCode::OK)
        .content_type("text/html; charset=utf-8")
        .body("<h1>Error 404</h1>"))
}


#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    HttpServer::new(|| {
        App::new()
                .service(web::resource("/index.html").route(web::get().to(index)))
                .service(web::resource("/about.html").route(web::get().to(about)))
    .default_service(
        web::route().to(not_found)
    )
        //Way to bind unfound pages to errro 404 page


    })
    .bind("127.0.0.1:8087")?
    .run()
    .await
}

Looks like you figured it out. One other note is that you are returning 404 in the body but your status code is still 200 (or OK). You may want to change that to NOT_FOUND to indicate the error via the status code as well.
