Relax

A library of simple modules for building web service wrappers.

Usage

Relax a toolkit of sorts, which makes it easier to write Faraday-based API Gems while still leaning heavily on the strengths of the Ruby language.

Overview

Relax is made up of three primary modules:

• Relax::Client — forms the basis of a web service wrapper by storing the configuration and serving as a factory for resources

• Relax::Resource — used to handle the actual web service connections and help organize related endpoints

• Relax::Delegator — delegates class methods to an instance of the client allowing for simple client usage

It also includes a basic configuration class, Relax::Config, which defines some of client defaults and can used as the basis for your own custom configuration classes.

Example

require 'relax'
require 'faraday_middleware' # for JSON response parsing

module Vimeo
  extend Relax::Delegator[:client]

  class Client
    include Relax::Client

    def initialize
      config.base_uri = 'http://vimeo.com/api/v2'
    end

    def user(username)
      Resources::User.new(self, username: username)
    end
  end

  module Resource
    include Relax::Resource

    def connection
      super { |builder| builder.response(:json) }
    end
  end

  module Resources
    class User
      include Resource

      def videos
        get("#{@options[:username]}/videos.json").body
      end
    end
  end

  def self.client
    @client ||= Client.new
  end
end

Vimeo.user(ENV['VIMEO_USERNAME']).videos
