Your first Story

Storyscript is a new programming language, but do not worry, it's built for developers taking favourite features of many languages. You'll see familiar syntax to Python, Ruby, Clojure and Node.

Let's start with some templates. Run the following command to list all story templates.

asyncy bootstrap

Let's choose the http endpoint.

asyncy bootstrap http > hello.story

This will template out a story that registers with Asyncy Gateway. The story looks like this:

http-endpoint method:'get' path:'/' as request, response
    response write 'Hello world!'

Next, commit the changes. Anytime you change your stories you need to commit the changes in git.

git add . && git commit -m 'initial commit :tada:'

Ship it! 🚀

asyncy deploy

or git push asyncy master

You just deployed your first Story on Asyncy. Nice job! 🎉

curl http://asyncy.net
Hello world!

The DNS asyncy.net points to localhost 👍
