Kemal DSL is defined here and it's baked into global scope.

The DSL currently consists of:

• get post put patch delete options
• WebSocket(ws)
• before_*
• error

• get(path : String, &block : HTTP::Server::Context -> _)
• gzip(status : Bool = false)

  Configures an HTTP::Server::Response to compress the response output, either using gzip or deflate, depending on the Accept-Encoding request header.

• headers(env : HTTP::Server::Context, additional_headers : Hash(String, String))

  Helper for easily modifying response headers.

• log(message : String)

  Logs the output via logger.

• logger(logger : Kemal::BaseLogHandler)

  This is used to replace the built-in Kemal::LogHandler with a custom logger.

• logging(status : Bool)

  Enables / Disables logging.

Macro Summary

• add_context_storage_type(type)

  Extends context storage with user defined types.

• content_for(key, file = __FILE__)

  content_for is a set of helpers that allows you to capture blocks inside views to be rendered later during the request.

• halt(env, status_code = 200, response = "")

  Halt execution with the current context.

• render(filename, layout)

  Render view with a layout as the superview.

• render(filename)

  Render view with the given filename.

• yield_content(key)
