Hello,
I'm an old timer is programming C or C++. I found this sample code for a webserver for Arduino. I do not understand how it works
In the my setup function they are adding server.on methods that is expanding the webserver code. How is this done? what is the name so I look it up and read more about it.
Here is the example code you will notice in the setup method to line that almost look like call to server.on but then I see , { server.send(200, "text/plain", "this works as well"); }
Is this new code or is there a method already define that takes ", { server.send(200, "text/plain", "this works as well"); }" as an argument?
I'm confused.
Thanks for any help
server.on("/inline", {
server.send(200, "text/plain", "this works as well");
});
