Pliny helps Ruby developers write and maintain excellent APIs.
It bundles the best patterns, libraries and practices we've seen after writing a lot of APIs.
Install gem:
$ gem install plinyAnd initialize your new API app:
$ pliny-new myapp $ cd myapp && bin/setupPliny bundles generators to help you get started:
$ bundle exec pliny-generate model artist created model file ./lib/models/artist.rb created migration ./db/migrate/1408995997_create_artists.rb created test ./spec/models/artist_spec.rb $ bundle exec pliny-generate mediator artists/creator created mediator file ./lib/mediators/artists/creator.rb created test ./spec/mediators/artists/creator_spec.rb $ bundle exec pliny-generate endpoint artists created endpoint file ./lib/endpoints/artists.rb add the following to lib/routes.rb: mount Endpoints::Artists created test ./spec/endpoints/artists_spec.rb created test ./spec/acceptance/artists_spec.rb $ bundle exec pliny-generate migration fix_something created migration ./db/migrate/1395873228_fix_something.rb $ bundle exec pliny-generate schema artists created schema file ./schema/schemata/artist.yaml rebuilt ./schema/schema.jsonTo test your application:
$ bundle exec rakeOr to run a single test suite:
$ bundle exec rspec spec/acceptance/artists_spec.rb$ bundle exec pliny-generateCommands: pliny-generate endpoint NAME # Generates an endpoint pliny-generate help [COMMAND] # Describe available commands or one specific command pliny-generate mediator NAME # Generates a mediator pliny-generate migration NAME # Generates a migration pliny-generate model NAME # Generates a model pliny-generate scaffold NAME # Generates a scaffold of endpoint, model, schema and serializer pliny-generate schema NAME # Generates a schema pliny-generate serializer NAME # Generates a serializer Pliny adds common Rake tasks to help maintain your app:
rake db:create # Create the database rake db:drop # Drop the database rake db:migrate # Run database migrations rake db:rollback # Rollback last database migration rake db:schema:dump # Dump the database schema rake db:schema:load # Load the database schema rake db:schema:merge # Merges migrations into schema and removes them rake db:seed # Seed the database with data rake db:setup # Setup the database rake schema # Rebuild schema.jsonAnd provides the following commands:
$ foreman start # Starts server $ foreman run bin/console # IRB/Pry console $ foreman run bin/run 'puts "hello world"' # Run automated code(hint: don't forget foreman run in development)
Use pliny-update to update the Pliny app in the current directory.
This not only bumps the version dependency, but also applies any changes that happened in the template app (for instance: new initializer, tweaks in the base endpoint, etc).
Run tests:
$ bundle install $ createdb pliny-gem-test $ rake Created by Brandur Leach and Pedro Belo.
