Project Name: HTTP Server Framework (Fun Project)

Description

This project is a lightweight HTTP server framework implemented in Kotlin, providing developers with an easy-to-use platform to create RESTful APIs. It simplifies the process of setting up HTTP servers and defining routes for handling various HTTP methods and request types.

Features

Simple Routing: Define routes effortlessly using a fluent API. || DONE
Status Code Handling: Automatically handle common HTTP status codes. || PENDING
Content Type Validation: Validate incoming request content types. || PENDING
Error Handling: Handle method not allowed, content type not supported, and route not found errors gracefully. || WORKING
Customizable: Easily customize port number and server configurations. || DONE

Installation

Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/pankaj046/RestApiServer.git

Import the project into your preferred Kotlin IDE.

Usage

Create a new HTTP server instance using the apiServer function, specifying the port number.
```
val server = apiServer(port = 8080) {
    // Define server routes here
}
```

Define routes using the route function within the server instance.

server.route("/example") {
    // Define route handling logic here
}

Implement route handling logic within the provided handler function, specifying the HTTP method(s) and desired behavior.

route(path = "login" , request = LoginRequest::class.java, methods = "POST") { exchange, req->
    // Handle GET requests for the "/example" route
}

Start the server by calling the start method.
```
server.start()
```

Example

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to create a basic HTTP server using this framework:

apiServer(8080) {
    route("/api") {
        route(path = "login" , request = LoginRequest::class.java, methods = "POST") { exchange, req->
            exchange.response(200, req)
        }

        route(path = "2", request = HashMap(), methods = "POST") { exchange, req->
            val response = "${req?.get("Email")}"
            exchange.response(200, response)
        }
    }
}.start()
