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).
