  "require": {
	  "toby/toby": "dev-master"
	},
	"minimum-stability": "dev"
}
$ composer install

Hello World

<?php
# config.php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Toby\Base();
$app->get('/',function() {
    return "<h1>Hello World!</h1>";
});
return $app->run();
?>
$ vendor/bin/rackem
$ open http://localhost:9393
