2. Usage

2.1. Generating Project

First download or clone this repository in your development environment. Use cmake to generate project on your preffered IDE. We recommend using Code::Blocks

Open terminal inside the directory or use cd to navigate.

mkdir cb_project
cd cb_project
cmake -G"CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" ..

For other IDE please refer to this guide. Alternatively you can refer to this Issue Page.

2.2. Generating Builds

If you want to skip generating project files, you may use cmake to generate build files. For that use the following commands.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

This will create an executable file in your build folder. If you are on Unix system, you may run it by

./c4web

CMake will by default build Debug builds. If you want Release or Minified Release builds please use the following commands.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel ..
make clean
make

3. Examples

3.1. Hello World

#include "framework/c4web.h"

void hello_world(http_request request);

int main(){
    start_server(7071);
    return 0;
}

void router(http_request request){
    if(router_match(request, "hello-world")){
        hello_world(request);
    }
}

void hello_world(http_request request){
    char sample_response[12] = "Hello World";
    http_send_text(request, sample_response);
}
