The multi-process server for shelf

Heeler is a shelf-compatible webserver that can be used as a drop-in replacement instead of mruby-simplehttpserver.

The server handles every request within a newly forked process. It also works well for Windows, however not in a multi-process mode.

If your app is based on Yeah!, then the heeler webserver is used by default.

Usage

The mgem provides with an integrated shelf handler:

app = Shelf::Builder.new
app.run ->(_) { [200, {}, ['<h1>Yeah!</h1>']] }

server = Shelf::Server.new server: 'heeler', app: app
server.start

Or define SHELF_HANDLER before you start your shelf app:

$ SHELF_HANDLER=heeler shelf-app

Installation

Add the line below to your build_config.rb:

MRuby::Build.new do |conf|
  # ... (snip) ...
  conf.gem 'mruby-heeler'
end

Or add this line to your aplication's mrbgem.rake:

MRuby::Gem::Specification.new('your-mrbgem') do |spec|
  # ... (snip) ...
  spec.add_dependency 'mruby-heeler'
end
