A sinatra-like DSL for Lua (actually an hack, but I'm starting to like it)

sinatra_global_scope.lua

-- defining you application in the global scope

require 'sinatra'

module('nrk', package.seeall, sinatra.application)

get("/", function() 
    return "<h1>Welcome to " .. APP_NAME .. "!</h1>"
    --[[
        URL: http://127.0.0.1/
        OUT: "<h1>Welcome to nrk!</h1>
    ]]
end)

get("/hello/:name", function()
    return "Hi " .. params.name .. ", how are you?"
    --[[
        URL:  http://127.0.0.1/hello/Daniele%20Alessandri
        OUT: "Hi Daniele Alessandri, how are you?"
    ]]
end)

sinatra_local_scope.lua

-- defining you application in a dedicated environment without polluting 
-- Lua's global scope, you can think of it as a sort of Sinatra::Base.

require 'sinatra'

myapp = sinatra.application('nrk', function()
    get("/", function() 
        return "<h1>Welcome to " .. APP_NAME .. "!</h1>"
        --[[
            URL: http://127.0.0.1/
            OUT: "<h1>Welcome to nrk!</h1>
        ]]
    end)

    get("/hello/:name", function()
        return "Hi " .. params.name .. ", how are you?"
        --[[
            URL:  http://127.0.0.1/hello/Daniele%20Alessandri
            OUT: "Hi Daniele Alessandri, how are you?"
        ]]
    end)
end)

local function run(wsapi_env) return myapp.run(wsapi_env) end
