## counter

This example demonstrates a *servant* server that holds a shared variable (using a `TVar`) and exposes an endpoint for reading its current value and another one for increasing its current value by 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to that, it shows how you can generate the jquery-powered javascript functions corresponding to each endpoint, i.e one for reading the current value and one for increasing the value, and integrates all of that in a very simple HTML page. All these static files are served using the `serveDirectory` function from *servant*.

To see this all in action, simply run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` bash
|
||
|
|
$ cabal run counter
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And point your browser to [http://localhost:8080/index.html](http://localhost:8080/index.html).
