# Moonshine [](https://travis-ci.org/dhruvrajvanshi/Moonshine)
Notice: This repository is no longer maintained.
[Kemal](https://github.com/sdogruyol/kemal) does pretty
much what Moonshine does and it has better documentation.
Moonshine is a minimal sinatra like web framework for the Crystal language.
## Installation
Add this to your application's `shard.yml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
moonshine:
github: dhruvrajvanshi/Moonshine
```
## Usage
Code speaks louder than words, so here's an example.
```crystal
require "moonshine"
include Moonshine
include Moonshine::Utils::Shortcuts
include Moonshine
app = App.new
# respond to all HTTP verbs
app.route "/", do |request|
ok("Hello Moonshine!")
end
# or particular HTTP verbs
app.get "/get", do |request|
ok("This is a get response")
end
# you can set response headers
app.get "/api", do |request|
res = ok("{\"name\": \"moonshine\"}")
res.headers["Content-type"] = "text/json"
res
end
app.run(8000)
```
## Form Parameters
Moonshine automatically parses POST and GET parameters for you. The `get` and `post` properties are hashes of these params.
```crystal
app.get "/putparams", do |request|
ok("
POST
#{request.post}
GET
#{request.get}
")
end
```
## Controllers
Controllers are objects which can respond to multiple routes. Set the @rotuer instance variable of a controller to specify routing within controller. Add the controller to the app using app.controller method.
@router maps between a route and an action. Action can be any object with a call method (usually a Proc).
```crystal
# Inherit from Moonshine::Controller to define a controller
class HomeController < Moonshine::Controller
def initialize()
@viewcount = 0
@router = {
"GET /" => ->get(Request),
}
end
def get(req)
@viewcount += 1
ok("This page has been visited #{@viewcount} times.")
end
end
# Bind controller to the app object
app.controller "/", HomeController.new
```
An action can also be a string containing the method name provided that the method is defined in the controller, and the controller name symbol has been passed to the actions macro in the controller definition.
```crystal
class PostController < Moonshine::Controller
actions :get_all_posts, :get_post
def initialize()
@posts = [
Post.new("Post1"),
Post.new("Post2")
] of Post
@router = {
"GET /posts" =>"get_all_posts",
"GET /posts/:id" => "get_post"
}
end
def get_post(req)
...
end
def get_all_posts(req)
...
end
end
app.controller(PostController.new)
```
String and proc actions can also be mixed in a single router.
## Middleware
You can either create [middleware classes](#middleware_classes) or individual methods that process [request](#request_middleware) or [response](#response_middleware)
### Middleware Classes
You can add middleware classes to your application by inheriting from Moonshine::Middleware. Your class can override process_request and process_response methods to globally alter request and response objects.
```crystal
class Hello < Moonshine::Middleware
def process_request(req)
req.headers["User"] = "Annonymous"
end
def process_response(req, res)
req.body += "\nFooter"
end
end
app.middleware_object Hello.new
```
### Request Middleware
```crystal
# add request middleware
app.request_middleware do |req|
unless req.get.has_key? "user"
Moonshine::Http::Response.new(200, "Not allowed")
else
nil
end
end
```
To add a request middleware, call app.request_middleware with a block that returns a response or nil. If the method returns nil, the response chain continues, otherwise, the response is sent back.
### Response Middleware
```crystal
# add response middleware
app.response_middleware do |req, res|
res.body = "Modified"
res
end
```
Response middleware methods take request and response arguments and return a response. This is used to globally alter the response of the application. Response middleware are processed in order.
## Changelog
