# Nephos Ruby Server [![GitHub version](https://badge.fury.io/gh/pouleta%2FNephosRubyServer.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/gh/pouleta%2FNephosRubyServer) [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/nephos-server.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/nephos-server) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/pouleta/NephosRubyServer/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/pouleta/NephosRubyServer) This is a minimal web server, based on [rack](TODO LINK) and [puma](TODO LINK). It is written in ruby. It also gives you a minimal architecture to speed up your application creation. Features provided: - Controllers: gives you a resource logic. - Render: easier render content to the client. - Router: create a robust and simple routing system, with url variables. Features wich will not be provided by nephos-server: - Templating (HTML with variables, loops, ...): It already exists and they are easy to implement. - [Slim](DOCUMENTATION/TEMPLATING/SLIM.md) - Database orm and connector: It already exists and simple to implement - [Sequel](DOCUMENTATION/DATABASE/SEQUEL.md) # Start ```sh gem install nephos-server # download the server nephos-generator application MyApp # generate the application cd MyApp # go in nephos-server -p 8080 -h 0.0.0.0 # start the server. port is not required, neither host ``` ``nephos-server`` is a binary designed to start the server easly. It can take few arguments, all optionnal: - ``-p``: port to listen - ``-h``: host to listen (network address) - ``-e``: environment (default is development, can be set to production) # Documentation ## Guides Theses guides will provide you knowlegde about everything you can use in the application. - [Generator GUIDE](DOCUMENTATION/GUIDE_GENERATOR.md) - [Render API](DOCUMENTATION/API_RENDER.md) - [Router GUIDE](DOCUMENTATION/GUIDE_ROUTER.md) ## Examples ### Production To avoid information leaks from your application, set the environment variable ``export ENVIRONMENT=production``. It will disable ruby error messages when an error occurs in the controller. ### Controller To create a controller, add a ruby file to ``app/``, with a class inherited by ``Nephos::Controller`` The basic code of a controller can be generated via ``nephos-generator controller NAME``. ```ruby class Example < Nephos::Controller def root if params["index"] == "true" return {plain: "index"} else return :empty end end end ``` ### Rendering To render a content to the client, you can return informations from a Controller method: ```ruby return 404 return {status: code} return {status: code, content: "Not today"} return {json: {status: "resource created"}, status: 201} return {plain: "text"} return {html: "

:D

"} return {type: "image/jpeg", content: File.read("images/photo.jpg")} return :empty ``` ### Routing The routing (rules to execute the action the user wants), you have to write the ``/routes.rb`` file. if the user try to access to an url not described in the file, it will automaticaly render a 404 not found. ```ruby get url: "/", controller: "MainController", method: "root" # / get url: "/add", controller: "MainController", method: "add_url" # /add get url: "/add/:url", controller: "MainController", method: "add_url" # /add with parameter :url get url: "/rm", controller: "MainController", method: "rm_url" # /rm get url: "/rm/:url", controller: "MainController", method: "rm_url" # /rm with parameter :url resource "infos" do get url: "/", controller: "MainController", method: "root" # generate /infos get url: "/abbout", controller: "MainController", method: "root" # generate /infos/about end ``` # Developers: Roadmap ## TODO v0.4 - improve generator with application tests - improve executables (tests, arguments) - improve documentation (bin) ## TODO v0.5 - executables with version - cookies, ... - usage of rack parsers (Rack::Request.new(env) etc.) ## TODO v0.6 - startable as daemon - hooks for controller ## v1 requierements - Environement, Daemons, Port, Listen Host, Routables, Arguments - Generator readables and powerfull - At least 80% tests coverage - Guide about - Controllers - Routing - Api Creation - Database creation - Web HTML with templating
