# Ruuter
A tiny HTTP router that operates with a simple data structure where each route is a map inside a vector. Yup, that's it. No magic, no bullshit.
## Usage
### Setting up
Require the namespace `ruuter.core` and then pass your routes to the `route!` function, like this:
```clojure
(ns myapp.core
(:require [ruuter.core :as ruuter]))
(defn -main [& opts]
(ruuter/route! [{:path "/"
:method :get
:response {:status 200
:body "Hi there!"}}]))
```
This will start an HTTP server on a default port of 9600 using [http-kit](https://github.com/http-kit/http-kit) under the hood.
The `route!` function also takes a second, optional argument, which is the [options map for http-kit](http://http-kit.github.io/http-kit/org.httpkit.server.html#var-run-server), allowing you to specify the port and so on, like this:
```clojure
(def routes [{:path "/"
:method :get
:response {:status 200
:body "Hi there!"}}])
(ruuter/route! routes {:port 8080})
```
### Creating routes
Like mentioned above, each route is a map inside of a vector - the order is important only in that the route matcher will return the first result it finds according to `:path`.
Each route consists of three items:
#### `:path`
A string path starting with a forward slash describing the URL path to match.
To create parameters from the path, prepend a colon (:) in front of a path slice like you would with a Clojure keyword. For example a string such as `/hi/:name` would match any string that matches the `/hi/.*` regex. The `:name` itself will then be available with its value from the `request` passed to the response function, like this:
```clojure
(fn [req]
(let [name (:name (:params req))]
{:status 200
:body (str "Hi, " name)}))
```
#### `:method`
The HTTP method to listen for when matching the given path.
Accepted values are:
- `:get`
- `:post`
#### `:response`
The response can be a direct map, or a function returning a map. In case of a function, you will also get passed to you the `request` object. For better information on what are all the things you could do with a response, check out [the http-kit documentation](https://http-kit.github.io/server.html).
