[back to package description]

Bird

A sinatra-ish web framework written in haskell, riding on top of Hack.

Why?

Sinatra has a beautiful, simple, elegant syntax, but it's essentially an attempt to bring pattern matching to a language never intended for pattern matching. Why not attempt something similar in a language with not just beautiful pattern matching, but with all the declarative bells and whistles: lazy evaluation, first-class functions, currying, polymorphism?

Install

λ cabal update && cabal install bird

Note: make sure $HOME/.cabal/bin is in your PATH.

Create an app

λ bird MyApp 

Compile your app

λ cd MyApp
λ bird nest 

Start your app (runs on port 3000)

λ bird fly

Try it out

λ curl http://localhost:3000
  404 Not Found

Improvise!

-- MyApp.hs
module MyApp where
import Bird
import Data.String.Utils

get, post, put, delete :: Request -> IO Reply
get Request { path = ("howdy":xs) } 
  = ok $ "Howdy " ++ (join ", " xs) ++ "!"

get _ = return notFound_
post _ = return notFound_
put _ = return notFound_
delete _ = return notFound_

now:

λ curl http://localhost:3000/howdy/there/pardna
    Howdy there, pardna!
