Classes

App
Container
Context
Form: Form is a base class for building your own forms. Please see the tests for examples on how they can be used.
FormError: FormError represents an error found by a form. You'll maybe want to extend this to provide your own error types, but its usable as is, too.
Headers: Models HTTP Headers that can be managed by the framework.
Jsonable
Processable
Request: Request models the request object that Steward processes. It is a wrapper around the HttpRequest object but this may change in future iterations. Generally, you will not need to new up a request object on your own, but may find that useful when working with middleware and/or intercepting incoming requests.
Response: Models an HTTP Response Steward processes this response and writes out the necessary data to the live HTTP response.
RouteBinding
Router
StewardContainer: A rudimentary DI container implementation container bindings are created as needed.
StewardContext

writeResponse(HttpRequest request, Future<Response> resp) → Future<void>: writeResponse takes in an HTTP request and a steward response, and writes the contents of the steward response to the HTTP response. TODO: this should only be called by Steward

MiddlewareFunc = Future<Response> Function(Context) Function(Future<Response> nextHandler(Context)): MiddlewareFunc is a typedef that describes what a middleware function looks like. The main takeaway here is that this function takes in the next handler in the chain and returns a handlerm itself. This might sound confusing, but the implementation for this middleware pattern is likely not as bad as you may think! Check out the documentation for more information.
RequestCallback = Future<Response> Function(Context context)
