Apipie Bindings¶ ↑
The Ruby bindings for Apipie documented APIs.
Features¶ ↑
Caching¶ ↑
The bindings cache the apidoc from the server. It has separated caches for each server it connects to. If the server sends the apipie checksum in the headers Apipie-Checksum: <md5>
, the bindings can expire the cache and reload updated version before next request. If the server does not send the hashes, the cache does not expire and has to be deleted manually when necessary.
The ability to send checksums comes with Apipie 0.1.1, see the docs on how to set it up.
API introspection¶ ↑
It is possible to list available resources, actions, params, routes and its attributes
Getting started¶ ↑
$ rake install $ irb irb> require 'apipie-bindings' irb> api = ApipieBindings::API.new({:uri => 'http://localhost:3000/', :username => 'admin', :password => :changeme})
Listing resources¶ ↑
irb> api.resources => [<Resource :roles>, <Resource :images>, <Resource :reports>, <Resource :hosts>, .... <Resource :architectures>]
Listing actions¶ ↑
irb> api.resource(:roles).actions => [<Action roles:index>, <Action roles:show>, <Action roles:create>, <Action roles:update>, <Action roles:destroy>]
Listing routes¶ ↑
irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).routes => [<Route /api/architectures/:id>]
Listing params¶ ↑
irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).params => [<Param *id (String)>] irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).params.first.required? => true
Calling methods (all the calls bellow are equivalent)¶ ↑
irb> api.resource(:architectures).call(:show, :id => 1) => {"name"=>"x86_64", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z", "updated_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z"} irb> api.call(:architectures, :show, :id => 1) => {"name"=>"x86_64", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z", "updated_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z"} irb> api.resource(:architectures).action(:show).call(:id => 1) => {"name"=>"x86_64", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z", "updated_at"=>"2013-12-03T15:00:08Z"}
Logging¶ ↑
It is possible to set custom (Logger
compatible) logger while creating API instance.
ApipieBindings::API.new({:uri => 'http://localhost:3000/', :logger => Logging.logger(STDOUT)})
Add gem awesome_print
to your application Gemfile if you want to debug api calls with awesome inspect.
Documentation¶ ↑
there is not much of the library documented yet, but we started to document our API with Yard. The docs are installed with the gem and can be viewed from the docs dir directly or by running yard server --gems
or online on rubydoc.info
