## Quick Start

::: code-group
```bash [Install]
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # or `venv\Scripts\activate` on Windows

# Install Nexios
pip install nexios
```

```python [Basic App]
from nexios import NexiosApp

app = NexiosApp()

@app.get("/")
async def index(request, response):
    return response.json({
        "message": "Welcome to Nexios!"
    })

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import uvicorn
    uvicorn.run(app, host="127.0.0.1", port=8000)
```

```python [With Config]
from nexios import NexiosApp, MakeConfig

config = MakeConfig({
    "debug": True,
    "cors_enabled": True,
    "allowed_hosts": ["localhost", "example.com"]
})

app = NexiosApp(
    config=config,
    title="My API",
    version="1.0.0"
)
```

::: tip Quick Development
Use `nexios run --reload` for automatic reloading during development.

## Key Features

### Type-Safe Routing

::: code-group
```python [Basic Routes]
@app.get("/users/{user_id:int}")
async def get_user(request, response):
    user_id = request.path_params.user_id  # Automatically int
    return response.json({"id": user_id})
```

```python [With Validation]
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name: str
    email: str

@app.post("/users")
async def create_user(request, response):
    data = await request.json
    user = User(**data)  # Automatic validation
    return response.json(user.dict())
```

```python [Advanced Routing]
@app.get("/users/{user_id:int}/posts/{post_id:uuid}")
async def get_user_post(request, response):
    user_id = request.path_params.user_id
    post_id = request.path_params.post_id
    return response.json({
        "user_id": user_id,
        "post_id": str(post_id)
    })
```
:::

### WebSocket Support

::: code-group
```python [Basic WebSocket]
@app.ws_route("/ws")
async def websocket_endpoint(websocket):
    await websocket.accept()
    try:
        while True:
            data = await websocket.receive_json()
            await websocket.send_json({"echo": data})
    except WebSocketDisconnect:
        print("Client disconnected")
```

```python [Chat Room]
from nexios.websockets import Channel

@app.ws_route("/chat/{room_id}")
async def chat_room(websocket, room_id: str):
    channel = Channel(f"room:{room_id}")
    await channel.connect(websocket)
    
    try:
        while True:
            message = await websocket.receive_json()
            await channel.broadcast(message)
    except WebSocketDisconnect:
        await channel.disconnect(websocket)
```
:::

### Middleware System

::: code-group
```python [Basic Middleware]
from nexios.middleware import BaseMiddleware

class LoggingMiddleware(BaseMiddleware):
    async def __call__(self, request, response, call_next):
        print(f"Request to {request.url}")
        response = await call_next()
        print(f"Response status: {response.status_code}")
        return response

app.add_middleware(LoggingMiddleware())
```

```python [Auth Middleware]
from nexios.auth.middleware import AuthenticationMiddleware
from nexios.auth.backends.jwt import JWTAuthBackend
from nexios.auth.decorator import auth

async def get_user_from_payload(**payload):
  ...
auth = AuthenticationMiddleware(
      backend = JWTAuthBackend(
        get_user_from_payload
      )
)

app.add_middleware(auth.middleware)

@app.get("/protected")
@auth(["jwt"])
async def protected(request, response):
    user = request.user
    return response.json({"message": f"Hello {user.username}"})
```
:::

### Dependency Injection

::: code-group
```python [Basic DI]
from nexios import Depend

async def get_db():
    async with Database() as db:
        yield db

@app.get("/users")
async def list_users(
    request, 
    response, 
    db=Depend(get_db)
):
    users = await db.query("SELECT * FROM users")
    return response.json(users)
```

```python [With Auth]
async def get_current_user(
    request,
    auth=Depend(get_auth)
):
    token = request.headers.get("Authorization")
    return await auth.get_user(token)

@app.get("/profile")
async def profile(
    request, 
    response,
    user=Depend(get_current_user)
):
    return response.json(user.to_dict())
```
