Apidiesel

Apidiesel is a DSL for building API clients. It is made to be highly readable, easily extensible and to assume as little as possible about your API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'apidiesel'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install apidiesel

Usage

Apidiesel consists of three main parts: the base Api, one Action for each API endpoint and Handler plugins for processing incoming and outgoing data.

module Actions
  class GetUsers < Apidiesel::Action
    url path: '/users'

    expects do
      string :firstname, optional: true
      string :lastname, optional: true
      boolean :active, default: true
    end

    responds_with do
      objects :users, wrapped_in: MyUserModel
    end
  end
end

class Api < Apidiesel::Api
  url 'https://foo.example'
  http_method :post

  register_actions
end

api = Api.new
api.get_users(firstname: 'Jane', lastname: 'Doe')

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
