title = "Hello, Rocket!"
code = '''
  #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;

  #[get("/hello/<name>/<age>")]
  fn hello(name: &str, age: u8) -> String {
      format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
  }

  #[launch]
  fn rocket() -> _ {
      rocket::build().mount("/", routes![hello])
  }
'''
text = '''
  This is a **complete Rocket application**. It does exactly what you would
  expect. If you were to visit **/hello/John/58**, you’d see:

  <span class="callout">Hello, 58 year old named John!</span>

  If someone visits a path with an `<age>` that isn’t a `u8`, Rocket doesn’t
  blindly call `hello`. Instead, it tries other matching routes or returns a
  **404**.

[[sections]]
title = "Forms? Check!"
code = '''
  #[derive(FromForm)]
  struct Task<'r> {
     #[field(validate = len(1..))]
     description: &'r str,
     completed: bool
  }

  #[post("/", data = "<task>")]
  fn new(task: Form<Task<'_>>) -> Flash<Redirect> {
      Flash::success(Redirect::to(uri!(home)), "Task added.")
  }
'''
text = '''
  Form handling **is simple, declarative, and complete**: derive
  [`FromForm`](@api/rocket/derive.FromForm.html) for your structure and set the
  `data` parameter to a `Form` type. Rocket automatically **parses and
  validates** the form data into your structure and calls your function.

  Bad form request? Rocket doesn’t call your function! Need to know what went
  wrong? Use a `data` parameter of `Result`! Want to rerender the form with user
  input and errors? Use [`Context`](guide/requests/#context)! File uploads? A
  breeze with [`TempFile`](@api/rocket/fs/enum.TempFile.html).
'''

[[sections]]
title = "JSON, out of the box."
code = '''
  #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
  struct Message<'r> {
     contents: &'r str,
  }

  #[put("/<id>", data = "<msg>")]
  fn update(db: &Db, id: Id, msg: Json<Message<'_>>) -> Value {
      if db.contains_key(&id) {
          db.insert(id, msg.contents);
          json!({ "status": "ok" })
      } else {
          json!({ "status": "error" })
      }
  }
'''
text = '''
  Rocket has first-class support for JSON, right out of the box. Simply derive
  `Deserialize` or `Serialize` to receive or return JSON, respectively.

  Look familiar? Forms, JSON, and all kinds of body data types work through
  Rocket’s [`FromData`](@api/rocket/data/trait.FromData.html) trait, Rocket’s
  approach to deriving types from body data. A `data` route parameter can be
  _any_ type that implements `FromData`. A value of that type will be
  deserialized automatically from the incoming request body. You can even
  implement `FromData` for your own types!
