Demonstration of getting a scotty server running as a script - needs stack

ScottyScriptDemo.hs

#!/usr/bin/env stack
-- stack --resolver lts-9.5 script --package scotty

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Web.Scotty

import Data.Monoid (mconcat)

main = scotty 3000 $ do
  get "/:word" $ do
    beam <- param "word"
    html $ mconcat ["<h1>Scotty, ", beam, " me up!</h1>"]

make sure you have stack installed

after you just have to

chmod +x ScottyScriptDemo.hs

and then you can run it using

./ScottyScriptDemo.hs

beware: the first start might take some time (getting/compiling the dependencies) - after it should be much quicker

you can visit the demo site just by browsing to http://localhost:3000

Disclaimer: that's 100% code from the Scotty documentation plus the Stack docs - I only copy&pasted ;)

btw: there is just a single route you can test by http://localhost:3000/Haskell
