# Clack - Web Application Environment for Common Lisp

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/fukamachi/clack.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/fukamachi/clack)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/fukamachi/clack/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/fukamachi/clack)
[![Quicklisp dist](http://quickdocs.org/badge/clack.svg)](http://quickdocs.org/clack/)

Clack is a web application environment for Common Lisp inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack.

## Usage

```common-lisp
(defvar *handler*
(clack:clackup
(lambda (env)
(declare (ignore env))
'(200 (:content-type "text/plain") ("Hello, Clack!")))))
```

Open your web browser and go to [http://localhost:5000/](http://localhost:5000/). You should get "Hello, Clack!".

To stop the server, use `(clack:stop *handler*)`.

## Command-line interface

Clack provides a script to start a web server. It's useful when you deploy to production environment.

NOTE: Install [Roswell](https://github.com/snmsts/roswell) before as it depends on it.

When you execute `ros install clack`, it copies `clackup` script to `$HOME/.roswell/bin`. Make sure the path is in your shell `$PATH`.

$ ros install clack
$ which clackup
/Users/nitro_idiot/.roswell/bin/clackup

$ cat <> app.lisp
(lambda (env)
(declare (ignore env))
'(200 (:content-type "text/plain") ("Hello, Clack!")))
EOF
$ clackup app.lisp
Hunchentoot server is started.
Listening on localhost:5000.

## Installation

```common-lisp
(ql:quickload :clack)
```
