Lucky: A web framework written in Crystal 

#
Why is modern web development so complicated?

Have you ever thought:

• “Why do I have to write so much boilerplate?”
• “How do so many bugs make it to production?”
• “Why is my app so slow!?”
• “Why do I have to choose between fast prototyping and long term maintainability?”

#
What if you could create something quickly and maintain it for years to come?

• Generators for quick code creation
• Built in authentication (Optional)
• Secure by default
• Built in Webpack config to get an SPA off the ground fast (Optional)
• Insanely fast execution so users aren’t left waiting
• Powerful type system that helps catch bugs before they ever hit production

If this sounds interesting, let’s get started.

#
What does Lucky look like?

Lucky uses Action classes for handling HTTP request and responses.
The classes map the routes and parameters it handles to a response block.
Lucky can generate these classes for you with ’lucky gen.action`.

Using a class per action provides very solid
automatic error detection, as well as generation of routing, path, and link helpers and methods.
