Overview

Ripress is a web framework inspired by Express.js.

Goals

• Provide an intuitive and simple API like Express.js
• Focus on developer experience first; performance optimizations will come later
• Prioritize ease of use over low-level control initially

Installation

You can add ripress to your project using Cargo:

cargo add ripress

Or manually add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ripress = "0.3.0"

Basic Example

use ripress::app::App;
use ripress::context::{HttpRequest, HttpResponse};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut app = App::new();
    app.get("/", hello_world);
    app.listen("127.0.0.1:3000").await;
}

async fn hello_world(_req: HttpRequest, res: HttpResponse) -> HttpResponse {
    res.ok().text("Hello, world!")
}
