nickel.rs

nickel.rs is a simple and lightweight foundation for web applications written in Rust. Its API is inspired by the popular express framework for JavaScript.

##Hello world

#[macro_use] extern crate nickel;

use nickel::Nickel;

fn main() {
    let mut server = Nickel::new();

    server.utilize(router! {
        get "**" => |_req, _res| {
            "Hello world!"
        }
    });

    server.listen("127.0.0.1:6767");
}

Dependencies

You'll need to create a Cargo.toml that looks like this;

[package]

name = "my-nickel-app"
version = "0.0.1"
authors = ["yourname"]

[dependencies.nickel]
version = "*"
features = ["unstable"]

You can then compile this using Cargo build and run it using Cargo run. After it's running you should visit http://localhost:6767 to see your hello world!
