newBeakr {beakr}

Create a new Beakr instance

Description

Create a Beakr instance by calling the top-level newBeakr() function. If name is not supplied, a random name will be assigned.

This Beakr instance will then begin a pipeline of separate middleware steps for routing, serving files and handling errors. The pipeline will end with the listen() function.

Usage

newBeakr(name = NULL)

Arguments

name

Optional name assigned to the Beakr instance.

Value

A new and empty Beakr instance.

# Create an new beakr instance
beakr <- newBeakr()

# beakr pipeline of hanldlers
beakr %>%

  httpGET(path = "/route_A", function(res, req, err) {
    print("This is route 'A'.")
  }) %>%

  httpGET(path = "/route_B", function(res, req, err) {
    print("This is route 'B'.")
  }) %>%

  handleErrors() %>%

  listen(host = '127.0.0.1', port = 25118, daemon = TRUE)
