Getting started #

Installation #

To start using Gazelle in your Dart project, simply add it to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  gazelle: <latest-version> 

Then, run dart pub get or flutter pub get to install the package.

Example usage #

Here's a quick example of how to create a simple Gazelle server:

import 'package:gazelle_core/gazelle_core.dart';

void main() async {
  final app = GazelleApp();

  app.get('/', (request, response) async {
    return response.copyWith(
      statusCode: 200,
      body: "Hello, Gazelle!",
    );
  }); 

  await app.start();
  print('Server is running at http://${app.address}:${app.port}');
}

That's it! You've just created a basic Gazelle server that responds with "Hello, Gazelle!" to any incoming requests to the root route.
