Combination of Racket and Bootstrap, RAP is a Web framework aiming to produce good-looking pages with ease.

• easy to use
• pleasing pages through Bootstrap
• routing capability
• good performance if possible

1. update the database configuration file:

vi db.conf

2. start the server with:

/usr/local/bin/rap

3. point your browser to:

http://localhost/index.cgi

• implement HTML template page with Boostrap headers;
• implement template display code;
• implement temporary file generation code to enable developer's preview;
• implement utility functions;
• implement database configuration file parser;
• port Newstrap code from newLISP to Racket;
• include configuration file library (https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Racket/Options).

• implement OS detection and switching;
• test macro code on 8.2 and 8.2BC for performance eval.;
• research on routing (https://docs.racket-lang.org/routy/index.html is a good start);
• implement forms (https://docs.racket-lang.org/forms/index.html)
• look into formlets (https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/formlets.html)
• implement database connectivity using newstrap as ref. (https://docs.racket-lang.org/db/using-db.html);
• look into cookies, sessions, forms, database connections, and static files (see https://www.monolune.com/simple-web-applications-in-racket/).

Here's a sample configuration file:

# This is a configuration file in standard configuration file format
#
# Lines begininning with a hash or a semicolon are ignored by the application
# program. Blank lines are also ignored by the application program.

# The first word on each non comment line is the configuration option.
# Remaining words or numbers on the line are configuration parameter
# data fields.

# Note that configuration option names are not case sensitive. However,
# configuration parameter data is case sensitive and the lettercase must
# be preserved.

db-connection-name rap MySQL
db-username root
db-password 12345
db-port 3306
db-name rap
