r-hello

This example shows the simplest Dream program one could write:

let () =
  Dream.run(_ =>
    Dream.html("Good morning, reasonable world!"));

$ cd example/r-hello
$ npm install esy && npx esy
$ npx esy start
08.04.21 13:55:56.552                       Running at http://localhost:8080
08.04.21 13:55:56.553                       Type Ctrl+C to stop

After starting it, visit http://localhost:8080, and it will respond with its friendly greeting!

Note that we had to make an addition to esy.json:

"dependencies": {
  "@opam/reason": "^3.0.0"
}

See also:

• r-template shows templates with Reason syntax.
• 2-middleware introduces the logger, the most commonly used Dream middleware. The example is in OCaml syntax.
