Relax

A Plug based toolset for building simple jsonapi.org spec APIS.

Relax is still in an early state of development (pre 1.0), so please check the changelog before updating.

Relax APIs are composed of a Router and Resources for handling requests, and complimented by JaSerializer for formatting responses.

Example

This example exposes the following endpoints:

• GET /v1/posts/
• GET /v1/posts/?filter[title]=elixir
• GET /v1/posts/:id
• POST /v1/posts
• PUT /v1/posts/:id
• DELETE /v1/posts/:id

defmodule MyApp do
  defmodule Router do
    use Relax.Router

    plug :router
    plug :not_found

    version :v1 do
      resource :posts, MyApp.API.Posts
    end
  end

  defmodule API.Posts do
    use Relax.Resource

    def serializer, do: MyApp.Serializer.Post
    def error_serializer, do: JaSerializer.EctoErrorSerializer
    def model, do: MyApp.Models.Post

    plug :resource
    plug :not_found

    def fetchable(conn) do
      Ecto.Model.assoc(conn.assigns[:current_user], :posts)
    end

    def filter("title", queryable, value) do
      Ecto.Query.where(queryable, [p], ilike(a.title, ^"%#{value}%"))
    end

    def create(_conn, attributes) do
      MyApp.Models.Post.changeset(:create, attributes)
    end

    def update(_conn, post, attributes) do
      MyApp.Models.Post.changeset(:create, post, attributes)
    end

    def delete(_conn, post) do
      MyApp.Repo.delete!(post)
    end

    def permitted_attributes(_model, _conn), do: [:title, :body]
    def permitted_relations(_model, _conn), do: []
  end

  defmodule Serializer.Post do
    use JaSerializer

    serialize "posts" do
      attributes [:id, :title, :body]
    end
  end
end

Installation

Relax is Alpha software and APIs are still stabalizing, use at your own risk.
