## Installation
To get started with Maru, add the following to `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps() do
[
{:maru, "~> 0.14"},
{:plug_cowboy, "~> 2.0"},
# Optional dependency, you can also add your own json_library dependency
# and config with `config :maru, json_library, YOUR_JSON_LIBRARY`.
{:jason, "~> 1.1"}
]
end
```
## Usage
lib/my_app/server.ex:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Server do
use Maru.Server, otp_app: :my_app
end
defmodule Router.User do
use MyApp.Server
namespace :user do
route_param :id do
get do
json(conn, %{user: params[:id]})
end
desc "description"
params do
requires :age, type: Integer, values: 18..65
requires :gender, type: Atom, values: [:male, :female], default: :female
group :name, type: Map do
requires :first_name
requires :last_name
end
optional :intro, type: String, regexp: ~r/^[a-z]+$/
optional :avatar, type: File
optional :avatar_url, type: String
exactly_one_of [:avatar, :avatar_url]
end
# post do
# ...
# end
end
end
end
defmodule Router.Homepage do
use MyApp.Server
resources do
get do
json(conn, %{hello: :world})
end
mount Router.User
end
end
defmodule MyApp.API do
use MyApp.Server
before do
plug Plug.Logger
plug Plug.Static, at: "/static", from: "/my/static/path/"
end
plug Plug.Parsers,
pass: ["*/*"],
json_decoder: Jason,
parsers: [:urlencoded, :json, :multipart]
mount Router.Homepage
rescue_from Unauthorized, as: e do
IO.inspect(e)
conn
|> put_status(401)
|> text("Unauthorized")
end
rescue_from [MatchError, RuntimeError], with: :custom_error
rescue_from :all, as: e do
conn
|> put_status(Plug.Exception.status(e))
|> text("Server Error")
end
defp custom_error(conn, exception) do
conn
|> put_status(500)
|> text(exception.message)
end
end
```
In your `Application` module, add `Server` as a worker:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Application do
use Application
def start(_type, _args) do
children = [
MyApp.Server
]
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end
end
```
Then configure `maru`:
```elixir
# config/config.exs
config :my_app, MyApp.Server,
adapter: Plug.Cowboy,
plug: MyApp.API,
scheme: :http,
port: 8880
config :my_app,
maru_servers: [MyApp.Server]
```
