A simple example of the Spirit web framework

Getting Started

Create an elixir application from scratch

mix new sample_app
cd sample_app

Edit mix.exs file

1. Add :spirit to OTP application structure

   def application do
     [applications: [:spirit, :logger]]
   end
   

2. Add :spirit to deps

   defp deps do
     [
       { :spirit, "~> 0.0.1" }
     ]
   end
   

3. Run mix deps.get to install dependencies

Create a controller

Now, create your controller/router inside your lib folder. It should look similar to

defmodule SampleApp do
  use Spirit

  get "/hello" do
    send_resp(conn, 200, "<h1>Hello World!</h1>")
  end

  match _ do
    send_resp(conn, 404, "Not found :/")
  end
end

Do not forget to add the application name to your config.exs file

config :spirit, app: SampleApp

Start the application

Now, run mix server and you should have the application running on localhost:4000/hello
