ESP32 Webserver from a conditional statement

Matt asked 4 years ago

Hi Guys,
I have put the webserver in to its own function/block and want to call it from a conditional statement if the client connects then run the webserver. I want to do this so I can do the google sheets logging as a seperate function and conditional statement but I am stuck at the first stage of that.
The code works if I just call the function “web_server()” but doesn’t seem to work if I uncomment the conditional statement out. All it does is print to serial that a new client is connected but doesnt run the web server in my browser.
I have tried so many different things and nothing is working, Any ideas?

Hi Matt.
What conditional statement are your referring when you say “… but doesn’t seem to work if I uncomment the conditional statement out”? Is that conditional statement on the code already?

Hi again.
I think I’ve understood what you want.
You want to be able to call the web_server() function if you have a new client available? Is that right?
I’ve tested what you want on a simple web server, but the idea can be applied to your web server too.
Here is the code: https://gist.github.com/RuiSantosdotme/844d4c88fa48e95548294719e5de21d1
Basically, you need to pass the client to the web_server() function as follows:

void web_server(WiFiClient client) {

In the loop(), check if a client is available. If it is, run the web_server client with the current client:

void loop(){
  WiFiClient client = server.available(); // Listen for incoming clients
  if (client){
    web_server(client);
  }
}

I hope this helps.
Let me know if it works.
Regards,
Sara

That’s great.
I’ll close this question.
If you have any more doubts, just open a new question.
