# The Sinatra feel, kept — but written by the consumer rather than injected by # the library. This is the whole argument of SPEC.md II.3 in one file. module samples/webapp import kemal/dsl::* import kemal/router::{Router, Context} before_all do |env| nil end get "/" do |env| "home" end get "/users" do |env| "all users" end post "/users" do |env| "created" end # A route may return anything implementing `IntoBody`, which is strictly more # than Kemal allows: Kemal coerces non-String results to "" at runtime. get "/count" do |env| 42 end # A route returning a type with no impl is refused where it is written: # # get "/bad" do |env| # [1, 2, 3] # end # # => Array(Int32) does not implement Kemal::Router::IntoBody, # # required by `B` in `get` # # Kemal cannot say this. `HTTP::Server::Context -> _` accepts the block and # silently returns an empty body on every request. users = Router.new users.get "/" do |env| "users index" end # The sub-router is a block parameter rather than the block's `self`: R-2 asks # an exported `def` to describe its block, and a block whose `self` changes is # the one shape no annotation can describe yet.

Press Run.
The pane no longer holds samples/iyi/webapp.iyi. Run executes iyi-webapp.wasm, the module the compiler built from the recorded file, so your edit is not in this run: there is no iyi compiler in this page. How this works

You can type in the pane: nothing here compiles, so what you type cannot run, and the page says which bytes it is running the moment the text stops being the recorded file. There is no standard input, no filesystem and no threads on this target, and one sample fails on purpose for exactly that reason.
Run executes iyi-webapp.wasm, the module the compiler built from this file, in your browser. How this works
