[](#macaw)

### Install

[](#install)

```
require: {

```
use \NoahBuscher\Macaw\Macaw;

Macaw is not an object, so you can just make direct operations to the class. Here's the Hello World:

```
Macaw::get('/', function() {
  echo 'Hello world!';
});

Macaw::dispatch();

```
Macaw::get('/(:any)', function($slug) {
  echo 'The slug is: ' . $slug;
});

Macaw::dispatch();
```

```
Macaw::get('/', function() {
