barebones http scripting

Overview

Define routes on runtime and execute scripts associated with each route. The server supports fetching data, for proxy purposes.

Usage

// the index route
index {
   text(":3\nwelcome to the root")
}

// this is /hello
hello() {
   text("Hello World!")
}

// get data from another website, then return as json
tests/fetch() {
   json(http::get("https://httpbin.org/json").json())
}

// route placeholders
#[route("/example/{id}")]
example(id) {
   text("base: " + id)
}

For more syntax, check out app.routes

# Start the server
script start <filename>
