πŸ€” Usage

πŸš€ Define your API

To define your API, you can add the following code in an app.py file.

from robyn import Robyn

app = Robyn(__file__)

@app.get("/")
async def h(request):
    return "Hello, world!"

app.start(port=8080)

πŸƒ Run your code

Simply run the app.py file you created. You will then have access to a server on the localhost:8080, that you can request from an other program. Robyn provides several options to customize your web server.

$ python3 app.py

To see the usage

usage: app.py [-h] [--processes PROCESSES] [--workers WORKERS] [--dev] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL]
