# Scotty [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/scotty-web/scotty.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/scotty-web/scotty)
A Haskell web framework inspired by Ruby's Sinatra, using WAI and Warp.
```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Web.Scotty
import Data.Monoid (mconcat)
main = scotty 3000 $
get "/:word" $ do
beam <- param "word"
html $ mconcat ["
Scotty, ", beam, " me up!
"]
```
Scotty is the cheap and cheerful way to write RESTful, declarative web applications.
* A page is as simple as defining the verb, URL pattern, and Text content.
* It is template-language agnostic. Anything that returns a Text value will do.
* Conforms to the [web application interface (WAI)](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/).
* Uses the very fast Warp webserver by default.
See examples/basic.hs to see Scotty in action. (basic.hs needs the wai-extra package)
```bash
> runghc examples/basic.hs
Setting phasers to stun... (port 3000) (ctrl-c to quit)
(visit localhost:3000/somepath)
```
As for the name: Sinatra + Warp = Scotty.
