Package Exports

shallot

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (shallot) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Shallot

Shallot is a HTTP DSL based on coffeescript. It is very similar to zappa but tries to be more lightweight.

Installation

npm install shallot

Usage

Probably the shortest example possible

require('shallot') -> @get -> 'Hello World!'

No seriously

Shallot does not depend on express. It rather is up to you which kind of middlewares you want to use and what kind of rendering engine you require. It uses copperhead as router.

connect = require 'connect'

require('shallot') ->

    @use connect.static 'public'

    @get ->
        'Hello World!'

    @get '/:name', ->
        "Hello #{@name}!"

More features may be added in the future. The main goal is to achieve the most powerful HTTP server functionality with minimal lines of code.
