Ruby SDK for CloudEvents

CloudEvents Ruby SDK

A Ruby language implementation of the CloudEvents specification.

Features:

Ruby classes for representing CloudEvents, including support for standard and extension attributes.
Support for serializing and deserializing from JSON Structure Format and JSON Batch Format.
Support for sending and receiving CloudEvents via HTTP Bindings.
Supports the CloudEvent 0.3 and CloudEvents 1.0 specifications.
Extensible to additional formats and protocol bindings, and future specification versions.
Compatible with Ruby 2.5 or later, or JRuby 9.2.x or later. No runtime gem dependencies.

Quickstart

Install the cloud_events gem or add it to your bundle.

gem install cloud_events

Receiving a CloudEvent in a Sinatra app

A simple Sinatra app that receives CloudEvents:

# examples/server/Gemfile
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "cloud_events", "~> 0.6"
gem "sinatra", "~> 2.0"

# examples/server/app.rb
require "sinatra"
require "cloud_events"

cloud_events_http = CloudEvents::HttpBinding.default

post "/" do
  event = cloud_events_http.decode_event request.env
  logger.info "Received CloudEvent: #{event.to_h}"
end

Sending a CloudEvent

A simple Ruby script that sends a CloudEvent:

# examples/client/Gemfile
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "cloud_events", "~> 0.6"

# examples/client/send.rb
require "cloud_events"
require "net/http"
require "uri"

data = { message: "Hello, CloudEvents!" }
event = CloudEvents::Event.create \
  spec_version:      "1.0",
  id:                "1234-1234-1234",
  source:            "/mycontext",
  type:              "com.example.someevent",
  data_content_type: "application/json",
  data:              data

cloud_events_http = CloudEvents::HttpBinding.default
headers, body = cloud_events_http.encode_event event
Net::HTTP.post URI("http://localhost:4567"), body, headers

Putting it together

Start the server on localhost:

cd server
bundle install
bundle exec ruby app.rb

This will run the server in the foreground and start logging to the console.

In a separate terminal shell, send it an event from the client:

cd client
bundle install
bundle exec ruby send.rb

The event should be logged in the server logs.

Hit CTRL+C to stop the server.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/cloudevents/sdk-ruby.

Development

After cloning the repo locally, install the bundle, and install the toys gem if you do not already have it.

bundle install
gem install toys

A variety of Toys scripts are provided for running tests and builds. For example:

# Run the unit tests
toys test

# Run CI locally, including unit tests, doc tests, and rubocop
toys ci

# Build and install the gem locally
toys install

# Clean temporary and build files
toys clean

# List all available scripts
toys

# Show online help for the "test" script
toys test --help

Code style

Ruby code in this library generally follows the Google Ruby Style Guide, which is based on "Seattle Style" Ruby.

Style is enforced by Rubocop rules. You can run rubocop directly using the rubocop binary:

bundle exec rubocop

or via Toys:

toys rubocop

That said, we are not style sticklers, and if a break is necessary for code readability or practicality, Rubocop rules can be selectively disabled.

Pull requests

We welcome contributions from the community! Please take some time to become acquainted with the process before submitting a pull request. There are just a few things to keep in mind.

Typically a pull request should relate to an existing issue. If you have found a bug, want to add an improvement, or suggest an API change, please create an issue before proceeding with a pull request. For very minor changes such as typos in the documentation this isn't necessary.
Use Conventional Commit messages. All commit messages should follow the Conventional Commits Specification to make it clear how your change should appear in release notes.
Sign your work. Each PR must be signed. Be sure your git user.name and user.email are configured then use the --signoff flag for your commits. e.g. git commit --signoff.
Make sure CI passes. Invoke toys ci to run the tests locally before opening a pull request. This will include code style checks.

Community

Weekly meetings: There are bi-weekly calls immediately following the Serverless/CloudEvents call at 9am PT (US Pacific). Which means they will typically start at 10am PT, but if the other call ends early then the SDK call will start early as well. See the CloudEvents meeting minutes to determine which week will have the call.
Slack: The #cloudeventssdk channel under CNCF's Slack workspace.
Email: https://lists.cncf.io/g/cncf-cloudevents-sdk
For additional information, contact Daniel Azuma (@dazuma on Slack).

Each SDK may have its own unique processes, tooling and guidelines, common governance related material can be found in the CloudEvents community directory. In particular, in there you will find information concerning how SDK projects are managed, guidelines for how PR reviews and approval, and our Code of Conduct information.

If there is a security concern with one of the CloudEvents specifications, or with one of the project's SDKs, please send an email to cncf-cloudevents-security@lists.cncf.io.
