Francis
v0.1.2

View Source Francis

Simple boilerplate killer using Plug and Bandit inspired by Sinatra for Ruby

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding francis to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:


def deps do
  [
    {:francis, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Usage

To start the server up you can run mix francis.server or if you need a iex console you can run with iex -S mix francis.server

Example of a router 

defmodule Example do
  use Francis

  get("/", fn _ -> "<html>world</html>" end)
  get("/:name", fn %{params: %{"name" => name}} -> "hello #{name}" end)

  ws("ws", fn "ping" -> "pong" end)

  unmatched(fn _ -> "not found" end)
end

Example of a router with Plugs

With the plugs option you are able to apply a list of plugs that happen between before dispatching the request.

In the following example we're adding the Plug.BasicAuth plug to setup basic authentication on all routes

defmodule Example do
  import Plug.BasicAuth

  use Francis, plugs: [{:basic_auth, username: "test", password: "test"}]

  get("/", fn _ -> "<html>world</html>" end)
  get("/:name", fn %{params: %{"name" => name}} -> "hello #{name}" end)

  ws("ws", fn "ping" -> "pong" end)

  unmatched(fn _ -> "not found" end)
end

Example using it with Mix.install

In your iex instance run:

Mix.install([{:francis, "~> 0.1"}])

defmodule Example do
  use Francis

  get("/", fn _ -> "<html>world</html>" end)
  get("/:name", fn %{params: %{"name" => name}} -> "hello #{name}" end)

  ws("ws", fn "ping" -> "pong" end)

  unmatched(fn _ -> "not found" end)

  def start(_, _) do
    children = [{Bandit, [plug: __MODULE__]}]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
  end
end
