- Built-in Web Server: Nitro includes a built-in web server for development and testing purposes, making it easy to get started.
Getting Started[edit]
To start using Nitro in your Elixir project, you need to add it as a dependency in your `mix.exs` file. Open the file and add the following line to the `deps` function:
```elixir defp deps do
[
{:nitro, "~> x.x.x"}
]
end ```
Replace `x.x.x` with the desired version of Nitro. After saving the file, run the following command in your project's directory to fetch the dependency:
```shell mix deps.get ```
Once the dependency is installed, you can start building your Nitro application. Create your routes, controllers, and templates to define the desired behavior and layout of your web application. Use the Nitro command-line interface to start the built-in web server:
```shell mix nitro.server ```
Your Nitro application will now be accessible at `http://localhost:4000`.
