bleak is a micro web framework for scala based on Java nio.

Getting started

import bleak._

class GreetingsController extends Controller {
    get("/greetings") {ctx =>
        ctx.body("Hello World")
    }
}

import bleak.netty._

class HelloWorld extends App {
    val app = new bleak with NettyHttpServer
   app.mount(new GreetingsController)
    // running on http://localhost:7856
    app.run()
}

Heading over to http://localhost:7856/greetings,and you should see a greeting message.

Routes

import bleak._
class MyController extends Controller {

    get("/") {ctx =>
        // Show something
    }

    post("/") {ctx =>
        // Create something
    }
}

Route patten can include named parameters,accessible via the ctx.request.params

// matches "GET /users/1" and "GET /users/2"
// ctx.request.params.get("id") is '1' or '2'
get("/users/{id}") {ctx =>
    ctx.request.params.get("id")
}

Route path can also include wildcard parameters.These parameters can be accessed via the ctx.request.params("splat")

// matches "GET /say/hello/to/world"
// ctx.request.params("splat") will return Seq('hello', 'world')
get("/say/*/to/*") {ctx =>
    ctx.request.params("splat")
}

val request = ctx.request
