Usage

This example demonstrates a basic file server based on static file plugin

// app.js

var meryl = require('meryl'),
  merylex = require('meryl-extras');

var staticfile = merylex('staticfile');

require('http').createServer(
  meryl.p('GET /<filepath>', staticfile()).cgi()
).listen(3000);

// app.js

var meryl = require('meryl'),
  merylex = require('meryl-extras'),
  eco = require('eco');

var generictemplate = merylex('generictemplate');

require('http').createServer(
  meryl
  .x('render', generictemplate({templateExt: 'eco', renderFunc: eco.render }))
  .h('GET /', function() {
        this.render('home', {people: ['bob', 'alice', 'jane', 'meryl']});
      }
  )
  .cgi()
).listen(3000);
