    branch: master

Routes

In Kemal, a route is an HTTP method paired with a URL-matching pattern. Each route is associated with a block:

  get "/" do
  .. show something ..
  end

  post "/" do
  .. create something ..
  end

  put "/" do
  .. replace something ..
  end

  patch "/" do
  .. modify something ..
  end

  delete "/" do
  .. annihilate something ..
  end

Environment

Accessing the environment (query params, body, content_type, headers, status_code) is super easy. You can use the environment returned from the block:

  # Matches /hello/kemal
  get "/hello/:name" do |env|
    name = env.params["name"]
    "Hello back to #{name}"
  end

  # Matches /resize?width=200&height=200
  get "/resize" do |env|
    width = env.params["width"]
    height = env.params["height"]
  end

  # Set the content as application/json and return JSON
  get "/user.json" do |env|
    kemal = {name: "Kemal", language: "Crystal"}
    env.content_type = "application/json"
    kemal.to_json
  end
  
  # Add headers to your response
  get "/headers" do |env|
    env.add_header "Accept-Language", "tr"
    env.add_header "Authorization", "Token 12345"
  end
