Small modules.
Explicit behavior.
A route declares its path, method, and handler. Application logic stays in ordinary JavaScript functions.
Start with the server, then add the libraries your application needs.
Create a servervar server = require('@nodedk/server')
server({
port: 3000,
routes: [{
paths: '/',
methods: 'GET',
handler: function (state) {
return '<h1>System ready</h1>'
}
}]
