## Notes

Trot is an Elixir micro-framework built on Plug and Cowboy, aimed at making common Plug patterns easier to use when writing APIs. A router module declares routes with a macro per HTTP method, and a handler can return a body, a status code, a JSON-encodable object or a redirect. The server listens on a configurable port.

Templates are rendered from a configurable directory, in EEx or in HAML through the Calliope library. The project is added to a mix project as a dependency from GitHub.

## Worth knowing

The README gives the dependency as a GitHub reference and does not show a Hex dependency.
