Hope to see you there !

To Build:

To download the latest available release, clone the repository over github.

git clone https://github.com/oktal/pistache.git

Then, init the submodules:

git submodule update --init

Now, compile the sources:

cd pistache
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
sudo make install

If you want the examples built, then change change the cmake above to:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPISTACHE_BUILD_EXAMPLES=true ..

After running the above, you can then cd into the build/examples directory and run make.

Optionally, you can also build and run the tests (tests require the examples):

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DPISTACHE_BUILD_EXAMPLES=true -DPISTACHE_BUILD_TESTS=true ..
make test

Be patient, async_test can take some time before completing.

And that's it, now you can start playing with your newly installed Pistache framework.

Example

Hello World (server)

#include <pistache/endpoint.h>

using namespace Pistache;

struct HelloHandler : public Http::Handler {
    HTTP_PROTOTYPE(HelloHandler)

    void onRequest(const Http::Request& request, Http::ResponseWriter writer) {
        writer.send(Http::Code::Ok, "Hello, World!");
    }
};

int main() {
    Http::listenAndServe<HelloHandler>("*:9080");
}
