webservice

webservice gem - yet another HTTP JSON API (web service) builder

Usage

Dynamic Example • Classic Example • Rackup Example

Dynamic Example

You can load services at-runtime from files using Webservice.load_file. Example:

# service.rb

get '/' do
  'Hello, world!'
end

and

# server.rb

require 'webservice'

App = Webservice.load_file( './service.rb' )
App.run!

and to run type

$ ruby ./server.rb

Classic Example

# server.rb

require 'webservice'

class App < Webservice::Base
  get '/' do
    'Hello, world!'
  end
end

App.run!

and to run type

$ ruby ./server.rb

Rackup Example

Use config.ru and rackup. Example:

# config.ru

require `webservice`

class App < Webservice::Base
  get '/' do
    'Hello, world!'
  end
end

run App

and to run type

$ rackup      # will (auto-)load config.ru

Note: config.ru is a shortcut (inline) version of Rack::Builder.new do ... end:

# server.rb

require 'webservice'

class App < Webservice::Base
  get '/' do
    'Hello, world!'
  end
end

builder = Rack::Builder.new do
  run App
end

Rack::Server.start builder.to_app

and to run type

$ ruby ./server.rb
