## Routes
2015-06-01 21:06:26 +00:00
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
In Kemal, a route is an HTTP method paired with a URL-matching pattern. Each route is associated with a block:
```ruby
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
get "/" do
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
.. show something ..
end
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
post "/" do
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
.. create something ..
end
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
put "/" do
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
.. replace something ..
end
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
patch "/" do
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
.. modify something ..
end
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
delete "/" do
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
.. annihilate something ..
end
```
## Context
Accessing the request context (query params, body, headers e.g) is super easy. You can use the context returned from the block:
```ruby
# Matches /hello/kemal
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
get "/hello/:name" do |ctx|
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
name = ctx.params["name"]
"Hello back to #{name}"
end
# Matches /resize?width=200&height=200
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
get "/resize" do |ctx|
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
width = ctx.params["width"]
height = ctx.params["height"]
end
```
## Content Type
Kemal uses *text/html* as the default content type. You can change it via the context.
```ruby
# Set the content as application/json and return JSON
2015-10-29 09:42:54 +00:00
get "/user.json" do |ctx|
kemal = {name: "Kemal", language: "Crystal"}
2015-10-29 09:41:00 +00:00
ctx.set_content_type "application/json"
kemal.to_json
end
```
