NAME
Crolite - Lightweight Cro routing + tiny CLI wrapper
SYNOPSIS
use Crolite;
get -> $a { # /<anything>
content 'text/plain', 'worked';
}
delete -> 'something', Int $var { # /something/<int>
content 'application/json', %( :$var );
}
List routes:
raku example.raku routes
Run a dev server:
raku example.raku daemon --port=3000
Test a route ad-hoc:
raku example.raku GET /something/42
DESCRIPTION
Crolite removes boilerplate when hacking together small Cro HTTP examples. Importing it allocates a fresh Cro::HTTP::Router::RouteSet (stored in PROCESS scope) and exports the usual Cro routing helpers along with a multi MAIN providing:
routes — print collected endpoint signatures.
daemon — start a Cro::HTTP::Server with your route set (Ctrl+C to stop).
GET|POST|PUT|DELETE <path> — perform a single in-memory request using Cro::HTTP::Test.
http <path> --method=<verb> — generic form accepting any method string.
Goals
Rapid prototyping / teaching.
Introspection of defined routes without extra code.
Preserve native Cro primitives (no bespoke DSL).
Caveats
Early sketch; API may shift.
Thin error handling; exceptions surface directly.
Not a full project scaffold (logging/TLS/config left to Cro proper).
