Sinatra like Web Framework for Scala

I tried few solutions like Scalatra, Play and for my POV Scalatra was a bit too bloated and big, didn't feel like sinatra at all. Play is more like Rails so you get everything. But spark is simple and easy to udnerstand. I didn't see any Scala example so i made one.

Sadly there are few things i don't like :(

If we would build DSL in a different way eg. we could have it like this:

  get(Route("/hello"){
    response.body("Hello World")
  })

or

  get(Route("/hello"){
    return "Hello World"
  })

That would make it super nice to use.

spark_example.scala

import spark.Spark._
import spark.Request
import spark.Response
import spark.Route

// this is on 0.9 not on 2.0 with new support, maybe some can be simplified even more :)
// more on spark options: https://code.google.com/p/spark-java/

object HelloWorld {

   def main(args: Array[String]) {

      get(new Route("/hello") {
         def handle(request: Request , response: Response) : Object = {
            response.status(401)
            return "Hello World! Srsl? " + request.body()
         }
      })

      get(new Route("/unauth"){
        def handle(request: Request, response: Response) : Object = {
          response.status(401)
          return "Sorry mate"
        }
      })

      get(new Route("/user/:name"){

        def handle(request: Request, response: Response) : Object = {
            return "Selected user: " + request.params(":name");
        }

      })

      get(new Route("/redirect"){

        def handle(request: Request, response: Response) : Object = {
          response.redirect("/user/kuba")
          return ""
        }

      })

      get(new Route("/params"){

        def handle(request: Request, response: Response) : Object = {
             val name  = request.queryParams("name")
             val params = request.queryParams()

             return name + params
        }

      })

   }

}
