  How to get the value of an input element by name when POST.

  <form action="#" method="post">
          <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="name">
          <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
  Run

  I want to get name's value.

  import jester
  
  routes:
    get "/":
      resp readFile("./src/views/index.html")
  Run

  There is an injected ` request object <https://github.com/dom96/jester#request-object>`

  While @ynfle's answer can work, there's a far simpler way to do that in Jester:

  import jester
  
  routes:
    get "/":
      resp readFile("./src/views/index.html")
    
    post "/":
      # get "name" field from the post body
      let name = @"name"
      echo name
      resp Http200
  Run
