Wolox on Rails - Requests

Make external requests in you service objects, with easy logging and error handling!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'wor-requests'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install wor-requests

Then you can run rails generate wor:requests:install to create the initializer:

# config/initializers/wor_requests.rb

Wor::Requests.configure do |config|
  config.logger = Rails.logger
end

Generators

rails generate wor:requests:service NAME

Generator options

module

Specifying the module name as:

rails generate wor:requests:service NAME --module MODULE_NAME

We can create a service with an inner class called NAME, and external module called MODULE_NAME

module ModuleName
  class NameService < Wor::Requests::Base
    # Your code here
  end
end

Service example

To write your first Service using Wor-requests you can write something like this:

require 'wor/requests'

class GithubService < Wor::Requests::Base
  def repositories(username)
    get(
      attempting_to: "get repositories of #{username}",
      path: "/users/#{username}/repos"
    )
  rescue Wor::Requests::RequestError => e
    puts e.message
  end

  protected

  def base_url
    'https://api.github.com'
  end
end

puts GithubService.new.repositories('wolox')

If you need to get the response headers, add a block in the call with the headers output

GithubService.new.repositories('wolox') do |response|
  puts response.headers
end

If you need to send body parameters in a post request you can write something like this:

require 'wor/requests'

class ExternalService < Wor::Requests::Base
  def post_request_example(authorization)
    post(
      attempting_to: 'Make a POST request to an external service.',
      path: '/some_endpoint',
      headers: {
        Authorization: authorization,
        'Content-type' => 'application/json'
      },
      body: {
        # Some Json
      }
    )
  end

  protected

  def base_url
    'https://external.service.com'
  end
end

ExternalService.new.post_request_example(token)
