Scotty Hackage Stackage Lts Stackage Nightly CI

A Haskell web framework inspired by Ruby's Sinatra, using WAI and Warp.

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Web.Scotty

main = scotty 3000 $
    get "/:word" $ do
        beam <- pathParam "word"
        html $ mconcat ["<h1>Scotty, ", beam, " me up!</h1>"]

Scotty is the cheap and cheerful way to write RESTful, declarative web applications.

As for the name: Sinatra + Warp = Scotty.

Examples

Run /basic.hs to see Scotty in action:

runghc examples/basic.hs

Setting phasers to stun... (port 3000) (ctrl-c to quit)

Or equivalently with stack:

stack exec -- scotty-basic

Once the server is running you can interact with it with curl or a browser:

curl localhost:3000

foobar

curl localhost:3000/foo_query?p=42

<h1>42</h1>

Additionally, the examples directory shows a number of concrete use cases, e.g.
