Takagi – Lightweight CoAP Framework for Ruby

Takagi is a Sinatra-like CoAP framework for IoT and microservices in Ruby.
It provides a lightweight way to build CoAP APIs, handle IoT messaging, and process sensor data efficiently.

🔹 Minimalistic DSL – Define CoAP endpoints just like in Sinatra.
🔹 Efficient and fast – Runs over UDP, ideal for IoT applications.
🔹 Database-ready – Seamless integration with Sequel for storing device data.

The name Takagi is inspired by Riyoko Takagi, as a nod to the naming convention of Sinatra. Just like Sinatra simplified web applications in Ruby, Takagi aims to simplify CoAP-based IoT communication in Ruby. It embodies minimalism, efficiency, and a straightforward approach to handling CoAP requests. Additionally, both Sinatra and Takagi share a connection to jazz music, as Riyoko Takagi is a known jazz pianist, much like how Sinatra was named after the legendary Frank Sinatra.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'takagi'

Or install it manually:

gem install takagi

require 'takagi'

class SensorAPI < Takagi::Base
  get "/sensor/:id" do |params|
    Sensor[params[:id].to_i].to_json
  end

  post "/sensor" do |params|
    Sensor.create(params).to_json
  end
end

Takagi.run!

🔥 Boom! You just built a CoAP API in Ruby.

coap-client -m get coap://localhost:5683/sensor/1

coap-client -m post coap://localhost:5683/sensor -e '{"value":42}'

✅ Core framework (CoAP, Sequel, notifications)
🔜 Web UI for data visualization
🔜 More integrations: NATS, MQTT...
