A reference web application written to teach Deno.

The purpose was to showcase what an HTML web server application SHOULD look like without much fat.

It uses:

• Oak https://oakserver.org - For routing HTTP requests.
• Eta https://eta.js.org - For rendering HTML templates.

Where do I start?

While this isn't being written or maintained as a tutorial, you may find these files helpful.

• main.ts - The source code... yes, that's essentially it (though some snippets can be found in the templates).
• template/patient.eta - The most-complete page template. Written to be easy to read and follow, though it does include a examples of how you might align things or make them optional.
• static/style.css - CSS styles, paired with the templates. Includes a brief CSS crash-course at the top.
• deno.json - The Deno configuration file. I wanted to show how little you actually need, so this file is bare.

How do I run this?

Install deno, checkout the code, open a terminal and browse to the directory, and run the following:

deno task run

The first time Deno should download a few packages, then start the server. Open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser to view the application. Push CTRL+C in the terminal to stop the server.
