Configuration

Here you would find a long description, maybe the description in example file are enough for you.

The config file for Yanic written in "Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language." syntax. (if you need somethink multiple times, checkout out the array of table section)

[respondd]

{% method %} Group for configuration of respondd request. {% sample lang="toml" %}
