Compojure-api

Psst! If you're starting a new project, why not try out reitit?

Stuff on top of Compojure for making sweet web apis.

Schema & clojure.spec (2.0.0) for input & output data coercion
Swagger for api documentation, via ring-swagger & spec-tools
Async with async-ring, manifold and core.async (2.0.0)
Client negotiable formats: JSON, EDN & Transit, optionally YAML and MessagePack
Data-driven resources
Bi-directional routing
Bundled middleware for common api behavior (exception handling, parameters & formats)
Extendable route DSL via metadata handlers
Route functions & macros for putting things together, including the Swagger-UI via ring-swagger-ui
Requires Clojure 1.9.0 & Java 1.8

Clojurians slack (join) has a channel #ring-swagger for talk about any libraries using Ring-swagger. You can also ask questions about Compojure-api and Ring-swagger on other channels at Clojurians Slack or at #clojure on Freenode IRC (mention compojure-api or ring-swagger to highlight us).

Examples

Hello World Api

(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all])
(require '[ring.util.http-response :refer :all])

(def app
  (api
    (GET "/hello" []
      :query-params [name :- String]
      (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)}))))

Hello World, async

(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all])
(require '[clojure.core.async :as a])

(GET "/hello-async" []
  :query-params [name :- String]
  (a/go
    (a/<! (a/timeout 500))
    (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)})))

<sub>* requires server to be run in async mode</sub>

Hello World, async & data-driven

(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all])
(require '[clojure.core.async :as a])
(require '[schema.core :as s])

(context "/hello-async" []
  (resource
    {:get
     {:parameters {:query-params {:name String}}
      :responses {200 {:schema {:message String}}
                  404 {}
                  500 {:schema s/Any}}
      :handler (fn [{{:keys [name]} :query-params}]
                 (a/go
                   (a/<! (a/timeout 500))
                   (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)})))}}))

<sub>* Note that empty body responses can be specified with {} or {:schema s/Any}

Hello World, async, data-driven & clojure.spec

(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all])
(require '[clojure.core.async :as a])
(require '[clojure.spec.alpha :as s])

(s/def ::name string?)
(s/def ::message string?)

(context "/hello-async" []
  (resource
    {:coercion :spec
     :get {:parameters {:query-params (s/keys :req-un [::name])}
           :responses {200 {:schema (s/keys :req-un [::message])}}
           :handler (fn [{{:keys [name]} :query-params}]
                      (a/go
                        (a/<! (a/timeout 500))
                        (ok {:message (str "Hello, " name)})))}}))

Api with Schema & Swagger-docs

(require '[compojure.api.sweet :refer :all])
(require '[schema.core :as s])

(s/defschema Pizza
  {:name s/Str
   (s/optional-key :description) s/Str
   :size (s/enum :L :M :S)
   :origin {:country (s/enum :FI :PO)
            :city s/Str}})

(def app
  (api
    {:swagger
     {:ui "/api-docs"
      :spec "/swagger.json"
      :data {:info {:title "Sample API"
                    :description "Compojure Api example"}
             :tags [{:name "api", :description "some apis"}]
             :consumes ["application/json"]
             :produces ["application/json"]}}}

    (context "/api" []
      :tags ["api"]

      (GET "/plus" []
        :return {:result Long}
        :query-params [x :- Long, y :- Long]
        :summary "adds two numbers together"
        (ok {:result (+ x y)}))

      (POST "/echo" []
        :return Pizza
        :body [pizza Pizza]
        :summary "echoes a Pizza"
        (ok pizza)))))
